Initial templateI have created a starting template for strategies.
It allows quick control of turning on/off long and short conditions, or disabling them entirely.
It includes trade filters for strategy equity and volatility. If there is not enough volatility it will not trade, or if the strategy equity is below the equity ema it will not trade.
It has standard stops and limits.
Simply change the long/short conditions!

ATR Start & Stop BotThis script is using Average True Range (ATR) and works very well on the Bitcoin 4 hour timeframe to determine when to stop and start your bots.
It has a very similar visual to the EMA RSI Indicator found here:
This 'ATR Start & Stop Bot' is better because it has less confusion during sideways market movement.
As an example - You are using 3commas and have a Composite bot setup with several alt coins, you can use this indicator with the ' Stop bot ' alert to disable your composite bot from taking trades at times when the market is on a trend that looks in the red.
Alternatively you can use the ' Start bot ' alert to turn your bot back on during the green uptrends.
Using this indicator with these alerts on the Bitcoin 4-Hour chart add a great layer of automation to your already existing bots.

Original 'ATR Stops' indicator belong to the user failathon and that script is found here:
Also credits to Dradian for the alert additions.
Proper lookback periodThis will allow you to enter the date when the strategy should start trading. It cancels all orders if the the current bar is older than the date you entered in the input field.
Motivation: strategy(lookback) never worked for me and even if it did, it is garbage, because I want to set a date instead of number of bars. I can see on the chart clearly what period is irrelevant (in futures trading).
