Trend Analysis

Best strategy for TradingView (fake)Hello everyone! I want to show you this strategy so you don't fall for the tricks of scammers. On TradingView, you can write an algorithm (probably more than one) that will show any profit you want: from 1% to 100,000% in one year (maybe more)! This can be done, for example, using the built-in linebreak () function and several conditions for opening long and short. I am sure that sometimes scammers show up on TradingView showing their incredible strategies. Will a smart person sell a profitable quick strategy? When a lot of people start using the quick strategy, it stops working. Therefore, no smart person would sell you a quick strategy. It is acceptable to sell slow strategies: several transactions per month - this does not greatly affect the market. So, don't fall for the tricks of scammers, write quick strategies yourself. About this strategy, I can say that the linebreak () function does not work correctly in it. Accordingly, the lines are not drawn correctly on the chart. They are drawn in such a way as to show the maximum profit. I watched this algorithm on a 1m timeframe - no lines are drawn in real time. This is a fake!

Grid Like StrategyIt is possible to use progressive position sizing in order to recover from past losses, a well-known position sizing system being the "martingale", which consists of doubling your position size after a loss, this allows you to recover any previous losses in a losing streak + winning an extra. This system has seen a lot of attention from the trading community (mostly from beginners), and many strategies have been designed around the martingale, one of them being "grid trading strategies". While such strategies often shows promising results on paper, they are often subjects to many frictions during live trading that makes them totally unusable and dangerous to the trader. The motivations behind posting such a strategy isn't to glorify such systems, but rather to present the problems behind them, many users come to me with their ideas and glorious ways to make money, sometimes they present strategies using the martingale, and it is important to present the flaws of this methodology rather than blindly saying "you shouldn't use it". Strategy Settings Point determines the "grid" size and should be adjusted accordingly to the scale of the symbol you are applying the strategy to. Higher value would require larger price movements in order to trigger a trade, as such higher values will generate fewer trades. The order size determines the number of contracts/shares to purchase. The martingale multiplier determines the factor by which the position size is multiplied after a loss, using values higher to 2 will "squarify" your balance, while a value of 1 would use a constant position sizing. Finally, the anti-martingale parameter determines whether the strategy uses a reverse martingale or not, if set to true then the position size is multiplied after any wins. The Grid Grid strategies are commons and do not present huge problems until we use certain position sizing methods such as the martingale. A martingale is extremely sensitive to any kind of friction (frictional costs, slippage...etc), the grid strategy aims to provide a stable and simple environment where a martingale might possibly behave well. The goal of a simple grid strategy is to go long once the price crossover a certain level, a take profit is set at the level above the current one and stop loss is placed at the level below the current one, in a winning scenario the price reach the take profit, the position is closed and a new one is opened with the same setup. In a losing scenario, the price reaches the stop loss level, the position is closed and a short one is opened, the take profit is set at the level below the current one, and a stop loss is set at the level above the current one. Note that all levels are equally spaced. It follows from this strategy that wins and losses should be constant over time, as such our balance would evolve in a linear fashion. This is a great setup for a martingale, as we are theoretically assured to recover all the looses in a losing streak. Martingale - Exponential Decays - Risk/Reward By using a martingale we double our position size (exposure) each time we lose a trade, if we look at our balance when using a martingale we see significant drawdowns, with our balance peaking down significantly. The martingale sequence is subject to exponential growth, as such using a martingale makes our balance exposed to exponential decays, that's really bad, we could basically lose all the initially invested capital in a short amount of time, it follows from this that the theoretical success of a martingale is determined by what is the maximum losing streak you can endure Now consider how a martingale affects our risk-reward ratio, assuming unity position sizing our martingale sequence can be described by 2^(x-1) , using this formula we would get the amount of shares/contracts we need to purchase at the x trade of a losing streak, we would need to purchase 256 contracts in order to recover from a losing streak of size 9, this is enormous when you take into account that your wins are way smaller, the risk-reward ratio is totally unfair. Of course, some users might think that a losing streak of size 9 is pretty unlikely, if the probability of winning and losing are both equal to 0.5, then the probability of 9 consecutive losses is equal to 0.5^9 , there are approximately 0.2% of chance of having such large losing streak, note however that under a ranging market such case scenario could happen, but we will see later that the length of a losing streak is not the only problem. Other Problems Having a capital large enough to tank 9any number of consecutive losses is not the only thing one should focus on, as we have to take into account market prices and trading dynamics, that's where the ugly part start. Our first problem is frictional costs, one example being the spread, but this is a common problem for any strategy, however here a martingale is extra sensitive to it, if the strategy does not account for it then we will still double our positions costs but we might not recover all the losses of a losing streak, instead we would be recovering only a proportion of it, under such scenario you would be certain to lose over time. Another problem are gaps, market price might open under a stop-loss without triggering it, and this is a big no-no. Equity of the strategy on AMD, in a desired scenario the equity at the second arrow should have been at a higher position than the equity at the first arrow. In order for the strategy to be more effective, we would need to trade a market that does not close, such as the cryptocurrency market. Finally, we might be affected by slippage, altho only extreme values might drastically affect our balance. The Anti Martingale The strategy lets you use an anti-martingale, which double the position size after a win instead of a loss, the goal here is not to recover from a losing strike but instead to profit from a potential winning streak. Here we are exposing your balance to exponential gross but you might also lose a trade at the end a winning streak, you will generally want to reinitialize your position size after a few wins instead of waiting for the end of a streak. Alternative You can use other-kind of progressions for position sizing, such as a linear one, increasing your position size by a constant number each time you lose. More gentle progressions will recover a proportion of your losses in a losing streak. You can also simulate the effect of a martingale without doubling your position size by doubling your target profit, if for example you have a 10$ profit-target/stop-loss and lose a trade, you can use a 20$ profit target to recover from the lost trade + gain a profit of 10$. While this approach does not introduce exponential decay in your balance, you are betting on the market reaching your take profits, considering the fact that you are doubling their size you are expecting market volatility to increase drastically over time, as such this approach would not be extremely effective for high losing streak. Conclusion You will see a lot of auto-trading strategies that are based on a grid approach, they might even use a martingale. While the backtests will look appealing, you should think twice before using such kind of strategy, remember that frictional costs will be a huge challenge for the strategy, and that it assumes that the trader has an important initial capital. We have also seen that the risk/reward ratio is theoretically the worst you can have on a strategy, having a low reward and a high risk. This does not mean that progressive position sizing is bad, but it should not be pushed to the extreme. It is nice to note that the martingale is originally a betting system designed for casino games, which unlike trading are not subject to frictional costs, but even casino players don't use it, so why would you?

Combo Backtest 123 Reversal & Ergodic CSI This is combo strategies for get a cumulative signal. First strategy This System was created from the Book "How I Tripled My Money In The Futures Market" by Ulf Jensen, Page 183. This is reverse type of strategies. The strategy buys at market, if close price is higher than the previous close during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Slow Oscillator is lower than 50. The strategy sells at market, if close price is lower than the previous close price during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Fast Oscillator is higher than 50. Second strategy This is one of the techniques described by William Blau in his book "Momentum, Direction and Divergence" (1995). If you like to learn more, we advise you to read this book. His book focuses on three key aspects of trading: momentum, direction and divergence. Blau, who was an electrical engineer before becoming a trader, thoroughly examines the relationship between price and momentum in step-by-step examples. From this grounding, he then looks at the deficiencies in other oscillators and introduces some innovative techniques, including a fresh twist on Stochastics. On directional issues, he analyzes the intricacies of ADX and offers a unique approach to help define trending and non-trending periods. This indicator plots Ergotic CSI and smoothed Ergotic CSI to filter out noise. WARNING: - For purpose educate only - This script to change bars colors.

Optimized Trend Tracker - Strategy VersionA brand new indicator from the developer of MOST (Moving Stop Loss) indicator Anıl Özekşi. Optimized Trend Tracker OTT is an indicator that provides traders to find an existing trend or in another words to ser which side of the current trend we are on. The original indicator was coded and published by Kıvanç Özbilgiç. You can access it from this link: I transformed the indicator into a strategy and made some changes: - You can run two different strategies. In the Settings section, you can test two different strategies, "Support Line Crossing Signals" and "Price / OTT Crossing Signals". - Fixed the issue where BUY/SELL labels from the indicator script would hang in the air. - I added a setting where you can hide BUY/SELL labels if you want. - I painted the bars for BUY/SELL states, you can open and close in the settings section. - As I do with every strategy script, I added a start and end date for the strategy test. You can specify the range you want to see working in the Settings section. In addition, there were cases when the OTT line was reduced to zero in non-voluminous symbols; I changed this situation by making a small change in the code. I asked Kıvanç about the subject, I can update according to his answer. Note : Strategy BUY / SELL tags and indicator BUY / SELL tags do not operate in the same bar because indicator tags are added when the next bar occurs. If you replay bars, you can observe label formations. TÜRKÇE AÇIKLAMA Orjinal indikatör Kıvanç Özbilgiç tarafından kodlanmış ve yayımlanmıştır. Bu linkten erişebilirsiniz: İndikatörü strateji dönüştürdüm ve bazı değişiklikler yaptım: - İki farklı strateji çalıştırabilirsiniz. Ayarlar kısmında Condition bölümünde "Support Line Crossing Signals" ve "Price/OTT Crossing Signals" olarak iki farklı stratejiyi test edebilirsiniz. - İndikatör scriptinden gelen BUY/SELL etiketlerinin havada durması sorununu düzelttim. - İsterseniz BUY/SELL etiketleri gizleyebileceğiniz bir ayar ekledim. - BUY/SELL durumları için barları boyadım, ayarlar bölümünden açıp kapatabilirsiniz. - Her strateji scriptinde yaptığım gibi, strateji testi için başlangıç ve bitiş tarihi ekledim. Ayarlar bölümünden çalışmasını görmek istediğiniz aralığı belirleyebilirsiniz. - Ek olarak hacimsiz sembollerde OTT çizgisinin sıfıra indiği durumlar mevcuttu; kodda ufak bir değişiklik yaparak bu durumu değiştirdim. Kıvanç Bey'e konu ile ilgili soru sordum, cevabına göre güncelleme yapabilirim. Not : Strateji BUY/SELL etiketleri ile indikatör BUY/SELL etiketleri aynı barda işlem yapmamaktadır çünkü indikatör etiketleri kendisinden sonraki bar oluşunca eklenmektedir. Barları replay yaptırırsanız oluşumlarını gözlemleyebilirsiniz.

Noro's RiskChannel StrategyIndicator The Donchian price channel is used. There are 2 methods available to close the position. The user can choose a method. Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org Strategy #1 (stop-loss type = channel) Old classic trading strategy, using breakouts of the Donchan price channel. If the price is above the price channel top line, open the long position (and close the short position) If the price is below the lower line of the price channel, open the short position (and close the long position) It is recommended that you all use market stop orders. Strategy #2 (stop-loss type = center) This metod is better. This method is recommended. The central line (red) is the middle of the Donchian price channel. Used to close any positions. If the price is higher than the price channel top line, open the long position. If the price is lower than the lower line of the price channel, open the short position. If the price has crossed the central line of the channel, close any position. It is recommended that you all use market stop orders. Risk There are 2 options. Risk for long positions and risk for short positions. This is the size of the possible loss. Order size depends on the possible loss and is calculated for each position. For BTC/USD, BTC/USDT, XBT/USD, ETH/USD, ETH/USD (need USD!) Timeframes: 1h and length of price channel = 50 bars or 4h and length of price channel = 12

Noro's RiskTurtle StrategyThe idea of ​ this strategy script was taken here: (PDF-Book, English) bigpicture.typepad.com Strategy 2 Donchian price channels are being created. Fast and slow. The number of candles for the channels is selected by the user. By default, 20 bars for fast and 50 bars for slow. Blue lines show a slow price channel . And used to enter positions. Using market stop orders. A fast price channel is needed to find out the price for stop-loss. This is the center line of the fast channel. Shown by a red line. The background shows when the positions were opened. Lime background for long positions, and red background for short positions. There is no background if there are no positions. Risk size Stop Placement The Turtles placed their stops based on position risk. No trade could incur more than 2% risk. Since 1N of price movement represented 1% of Account Equity, the maximum stop that would allow 2% risk would be 2N of price movement. Turtle stops were set at 2N below the entry for long positions, and 2N above the entry for short positions.

Noro's Turtles StrategyOriginal idea from book «Way of the Turtle: The Secret Methods that Turned Ordinary People into Legendary Traders» (2007, CURTIS FAITH, ISBN: 9780071486644) Strategy 2 positions types are used. Fast and slow. The period for fast and slow user specifies separately. For example for quick: if the price is higher than the highest price in the last 10 candles, then open a long position using a stop order. If the price is below the lowest price in the last 20 candles, then close the long position. In the same way for a short position and also for slow positions.

Combo Backtest 123 Reversal & EMA & MA Crossover This is combo strategies for get a cumulative signal. First strategy This System was created from the Book "How I Tripled My Money In The Futures Market" by Ulf Jensen, Page 183. This is reverse type of strategies. The strategy buys at market, if close price is higher than the previous close during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Slow Oscillator is lower than 50. The strategy sells at market, if close price is lower than the previous close price during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Fast Oscillator is higher than 50. Second strategy The Moving Average Crossover trading strategy is possibly the most popular trading strategy in the world of trading. First of them were written in the middle of XX century, when commodities trading strategies became popular. This strategy is a good example of so-called traditional strategies. Traditional strategies are always long or short. That means they are never out of the market. The concept of having a strategy that is always long or short may be scary, particularly in today’s market where you don’t know what is going to happen as far as risk on any one market. But a lot of traders believe that the concept is still valid, especially for those of traders who do their own research or their own discretionary trading. This version uses crossover of moving average and its exponential moving average. WARNING: - For purpose educate only - This script to change bars colors.

[LunaOwl] Support Resistance Strategy V4作品: 支撐壓力策略 A simple Support Resistance Breakthrough Strategy, the only difference is that it is PineScript @version=4. interested parties can use it as a reference. Its logic is simple, wish your all the best. 一個簡單的支撐阻力突破策略，唯一的差異，在於它是PineScript第四版。有興趣的可以拿來當作參考，簡易的指標。祝你們順心。 Support level refers to the support price that the exchange rate may encounter when it falls, so as to stop falling and stabilize the price. The corresponding concept is the resistance level, that is, the pressure that the exchange rate may encounter when it rises, thus reversing to a falling price. 支撐位是指匯價在下跌時可能遇到的支撐價格，從而止跌回穩的價格，對應的概念是阻力位，也即匯價上漲時可能遇到的壓力，從而反轉為下跌的價格。

Ichimoku Kinko Hyo StrategyStrategy based on the Ishimoku Kinko Hyo system, using the different indicators it provides to build signals. This strategy could be better as it should ideally use the position of the price line compared to Chikou to determine if signals should be looked for, but I've been unable to fully implement this so far (an imperfect implementation is provided, but disable by default). I'll update the script once I figure it out, but it still gives good results without this.

EMA Slope Cross Trend Follower StrategyThis strategy uses the cross of the slopes of two EMAs having different lengths to generate trend follower signals. By default, I use 130 and 400, which behave very well. The conditions which make the strat enter the market are: - Fast Slope > Slow Slope and price > EMA 200 : go Long - Fast Slope < Slow Slope and price < EMA200 : go Short The simple slopes cross in the opposite direction, closes the position. The strategy performs best on Bitcoin and the most liquid and capitalized Altcoins, but works greatly on volatile assets as well, in particular if they often go trending. Works best on 4h time frame. There's also an optional Volatility filter, which opens the position only if the difference between the two slopes is more than a specific value, which can be set in the strategy inputs. The purpose is not opening positions if price is going sideways and the noise is way > than the signal. Enjoy it!

Combo Backtest 123 Reversal & Elder Ray (Bull Power) This is combo strategies for get a cumulative signal. First strategy This System was created from the Book "How I Tripled My Money In The Futures Market" by Ulf Jensen, Page 183. This is reverse type of strategies. The strategy buys at market, if close price is higher than the previous close during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Slow Oscillator is lower than 50. The strategy sells at market, if close price is lower than the previous close price during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Fast Oscillator is higher than 50. Second strategy Developed by Dr Alexander Elder, the Elder-ray indicator measures buying and selling pressure in the market. The Elder-ray is often used as part of the Triple Screen trading system but may also be used on its own. Dr Elder uses a 13-day exponential moving average (EMA) to indicate the market consensus of value. Bull Power measures the ability of buyers to drive prices above the consensus of value. Bear Power reflects the ability of sellers to drive prices below the average consensus of value. Bull Power is calculated by subtracting the 13-day EMA from the day's High. Bear power subtracts the 13-day EMA from the day's Low. You can use in the xPrice any series: Open, High, Low, Close, HL2, HLC3, OHLC4 and ect...
