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!

Trend FollowerHello Traders!
While analysing the charts, one of the biggest problem is to see if there is trend or not, or is it in a congestion zone/area? While thinking about it, I found the idea to analyse moving averages in channel and their momentum according to channel width.
How it calculates and works?
On each bar it creates a channel by highest/lowest point of a MA. highest point is upper point and lowest point is lower point of the MA channel,
It gets highest and lowest point of last 300 bars, (say Price Channel )
If the width of MA channel is greater than certain rate of price channel then it decides there is trend
After it decided there is trend, it calculates the rate between channel and MA. Bigger result means stronger trend.
According to rate of MA channel and the price channel , bar color becomes lighter/darker. so when you look at the bar color you can see the trend strength.
Short explanation on the chart:
Also by changing channel or size other options (such MA length etc) you can see congestion zones/areas:
Another one, about trend direction and its strength:
Options:
You can choose following MA types as source: EMA, SMA , RMA, WMA , VWMA
"Period to Check Trend" is the period to create MA channel. Bigger period cause more sensitivity.
MA Period is the Length of the MA that will be checked
"Trend Channel Rate %" is rate of price channel . Price channel created by using highest/lowest of last 300 bars. I did this to make the script works on all time frames correctly.
"Use Linear Regression" is used to get rid of noise. it may cause 1-2 bars latency. (I use it)
The idea was created by LonesomeTheBlue.
Enjoy!
Pivot Reversal Strategy - FIGS & DATES 2.0Simple Pivot Reversal Strategy with some adding settings.
Date Range: To test over specific market conditions.
Initial Capitol: $10K - This is a more realistic representation of funds used this strategy (for me anyway). The default of $100K can give different results (usually better) than when using a smaller balance.
Order Size: 100% Equity - These trend following strategies typically used this way, going all in each direction.
Commission: .075% - It's always disheartening to think you've found a ridiculously good setting, and then realize you forgot to add the commission.
All of these settings can be changed, but it's easier for me (and more fool proof) to have them set as default.
