HTF star - trailing

16 jun 2023

Description:
The HTF - Stars (Highertimeframe Stars) Strategy Script is designed to explore the behavior of a strategy using multiple timeframes. This experimental script focuses on identifying star candle patterns on a chosen higher timeframe and capturing subsequent price movements on a lower timeframe. By leveraging the power of star candle patterns forming on a higher timeframe, this strategy aims to capture potential trading opportunities on a shorter timeframe.

Key Features:

• Multiple Timeframe Analysis: The strategy script allows you to be on a lower timeframe while searching for star candle patterns on a higher timeframe using the security function. This approach enables you to take advantage of higher timeframe insights and potentially capture favorable price movements on a shorter timeframe.
  
• Star Candle Pattern Detection: The script identifies star candle patterns on the chosen higher timeframe. After the candle closes, a buy or sell order is executed on the lower timeframe, signaling a potential trading opportunity based on the detected pattern.
  
• Trailing Stop: The strategy utilizes a trailing stop feature to manage trades. The trailing stop is set at a specified ATR (Average True Range) distance above or below the candle closes. This mechanism allows you to capture potential profits if the price moves in the anticipated direction and then reverses.
  
• Mean Reversion Potential: During backtesting, it was observed that shorting stars above the 360 MA (Moving Average) and taking long positions on stars below the 360 MA yielded the most profitable results in the current market conditions. This suggests that star candle patterns in this context may serve as potential mean reversion signals. However, user inputs allow for customization, enabling you to experiment with different trading approaches when a star candle is detected.
  
• Backtesting Feature: The script includes a backtesting feature that uses a percentage of equity, with 1% of equity set as the default. It displays a table presenting various statistics about the strategy's performance, providing valuable insights into its historical results.
  
• Adjustable User Inputs: The script offers multiple adjustable settings, each accompanied by tooltips explaining their functionality. This flexibility allows you to fine-tune the strategy according to your preferences and experiment with different parameters to optimize its performance.
