Monte Carlo (Polyline Traceback) [Kioseff Trading]Hello!
This script "Monte Carlo (Polyline Traceback) " performs a Monte Carlo simulation using polylines!
By using polylines, and tracing back the initial simulation to its origin point, we can better replicate the ideal output of a Monte Carlo simulation!
Such as:
The image above shows the output of a simulation (image sourced outside TV).
With this script, and polyline capabilities, we can come quite close on TradingView.
The image above shows the indicator in action! Not bad considering the ideal output.
Of course, the script is quite heavy and tries its best to circumvent limitations :D
You might run into load time errors, in which case you might try applying the built-in setting "Force Script Load". This setting will cut-off the visuals for some simulations, but has a higher chance of passing load-time limitations!
As shown in the image above, you can select to only show worst-case and best-case simulations. Using this option will reduce chart lag and improve load times.
Features
Monte Carlo Simulation: Performs Monte Carlo simulation to generate multiple future paths.
Asset Price: Can simulate future asset prices based on historical log returns.
Statistical Methods: Offers two simulation methods—Gaussian (Normal) distribution and Bootstrapping.
Adjustable Parameters: Offers numerous user-adjustable settings like number of simulations, forecast length, and more.
Historical Data Points: Option to specify the amount of historical data to be used in the simulation (price).

Monte Carlo Simulation - Your Strategy [Kioseff Trading]Hello!
This script “Monte Carlo Simulation - Your Strategy” uses Monte Carlo simulations for your inputted strategy returns or the asset on your chart!
Features
Monte Carlo Simulation: Performs Monte Carlo simulation to generate multiple future paths.
Asset Price or Strategy: Can simulate either future asset prices based on historical log returns or a specific trading strategy's future performance.
User-Defined Input: Allows you to input your own historical returns for simulation.
Statistical Methods: Offers two simulation methods—Gaussian (Normal) distribution and Bootstrapping.
Graphical Display: Provides options for graphical representation, including line plots and histograms.
Cumulative Probability Target: Enables setting a user-defined cumulative probability target to quantify simulation results.
Adjustable Parameters: Offers numerous user-adjustable settings like number of simulations, forecast length, and more.
Historical Data Points: Option to specify the amount of historical data to be used in the simulation (price).
Custom Binning: Allows you to select the binning method for histograms, with options like Sturges, Rice, and Square Root.
Best/Worst Case: Allows you to show only the best case / worst case outcome (range) for all simulations!
Scatterplot: allows you to show up to 1000 potential outcomes for a specified trade number (or bars forward price endpoint) using a scatter plot.
The image above shows the primary components of the indicator!
The image above shows the best/worst case outcome feature in action!
The image above shows a "fun feature" where 1000 simulated end points for a 15-bar price trajectory are shown as a scatter plot!
How To Perform a Monte Carlo Simulation On Your Strategy
Really, you can input any data into the indicator it will perform a Monte Carlo Simulation on it :D
The following instructions show how to export your strategy results from TradingView to an Excel File, copy the data, and input it into the indicator.
However , you are not limited to following this method!
Wherever your strategy results are stored, simply copy and paste them into the indicator text area in the settings and simulations will begin.
Returns Should Follow This Format
1
3
-3
2
-5
The numbers are presented as a single column. No commas or separators used.
The numbers above are in sequential order. A return of "1" for the first trade and a return of "-5" for the last trade. Your strategy returns will likely be in sequential order already so don't worry too much about this (:
How To Perform a Monte Carlo Simulation On Your TradingView Strategy With Excel Data
Export your strategy returns to an excel file using TradingView
Navigate to your downloads folder to column G "Profit"
Click the column and press CTRL + SPACE to highlight the entire column
Press CTRL + C to copy the entire column
Open this indicator's settings and paste the returns into the text area
The image above illustrates the process!
Notes on Inputting Returns
*Must input your returns without a separate as a vertical list
*The initial text area can only hold so many return values. If your list of trades is large you can input additional returns into two additional text areas at the bottom of the indicator settings.
That should be it; thank you for checking this out!
Monte Carlo Simulation - Random WalkHello All,
Monte Carlo Simulation is a model used to predict the probability of different outcomes when the intervention of random variables is present. it is used by professionals in such widely disparate fields as finance, project management etc. You can find many articles about Monte Carlo Simulation on the net.
In this script I tried to make Monte Carlo Simulation and "Random Walk". it calculates results over and over, each time using a different set of random values that is created using historical data (500 times by default) and show min-max and some random paths. number of "random walks" is calculated by using number of bars to predict, so if you change "Number of Bars to Predict" then number of random walks may change. Total number of the lines must be less than 500.
"Number of Simulations " is 500 by default, more simulation better results. but if you increase it a lot then you may get "loop takes too long error"
"Number of Bars to Predict" can be between 10-100
"Number of Bars to use as Data Source" is the number of historical bars to use in simulations
Thanks to Ricardo Santos (@RicardoSantos) for letting me use his Random Number Generator Function.
P.S. I am not mathematician and I tried to make it as far as I understood the method. so if you see any issue let me know please.
Some examples:
Number of Bars to Predict = 100:
Number of Bars to Predict = 10:
if you enable "Keep Past Min-Max Levels" option then min-max levels will stay on the chart
Enjoy!
