Scalping with Williams %R, MACD, and SMA (1m)

27 ago

Overview:
This trading strategy is designed for scalping in the 1-minute timeframe. It uses a combination of the Williams %R, MACD, and SMA indicators to generate buy and sell signals. It also includes alert functionalities to notify users when trades are executed or closed.

Indicators Used:

1. Williams %R: A momentum indicator that measures overbought and oversold conditions. The Williams %R values range from -100 to 0.
   Length: 140 bars (i.e., 140-period).
   
   
2. MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): A trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of a security's price.
   Fast Length: 24 bars
   Slow Length: 52 bars
   MACD Length: 9 bars (signal line)
   
   
3. SMA (Simple Moving Average): A trend-following indicator that smooths out price data to create a trend-following indicator.
   Length: 7 bars
   

Conditions and Logic:

1. Timeframe Check:
   The strategy is designed specifically for the 1-minute timeframe. If the current chart is not on the 1-minute timeframe, a warning label is displayed on the chart instructing the user to switch to the 1-minute timeframe.
   
   
2. Williams %R Conditions:
   Buy Condition: The strategy looks for a crossover of Williams %R from below -94 to above -94. This indicates a potential buying opportunity when the market is moving out of an oversold condition.
   Sell Condition: The strategy looks for a crossunder of Williams %R from above -6 to below -6. This indicates a potential selling opportunity when the market is moving out of an overbought condition.
   Deactivate Buy: If Williams %R crosses above -40, the buy signal is deactivated, suggesting that the buying condition is no longer valid.
   Deactivate Sell: If Williams %R crosses below -60, the sell signal is deactivated, suggesting that the selling condition is no longer valid.
   
   
3. MACD Conditions:
   MACD Histogram: Used to identify the momentum and the direction of the trend.
   Long Entry: The strategy initiates a buy order if the MACD histogram shows a positive bar after a negative bar while a buy condition is active and Williams %R is above -94.
   Long Exit: The strategy exits the buy position if the MACD histogram turns negative and is below the previous histogram bar.
   Short Entry: The strategy initiates a sell order if the MACD histogram shows a negative bar after a positive bar while a sell condition is active and Williams %R is below -6.
   Short Exit: The strategy exits the sell position if the MACD histogram turns positive and is above the previous histogram bar.
   
   
4. Trend Confirmation (Using SMA):
   Bullish Trend: The strategy considers a bullish trend if the current price is above the 7-bar SMA. A buy signal is only considered if this condition is met.
   Bearish Trend: The strategy considers a bearish trend if the current price is below the 7-bar SMA. A sell signal is only considered if this condition is met.
   

Alerts:
Long Entry Alert: An alert is triggered when a buy order is executed.
Long Exit Alert: An alert is triggered when the buy order is closed.
Short Entry Alert: An alert is triggered when a sell order is executed.
Short Exit Alert: An alert is triggered when the sell order is closed.

Summary:
Buy Signal: Activated when Williams %R crosses above -94 and the price is above the 7-bar SMA. A buy order is placed if the MACD histogram shows a positive bar after a negative bar. The buy order is closed when the MACD histogram turns negative and is below the previous histogram bar.

Sell Signal: Activated when Williams %R crosses below -6 and the price is below the 7-bar SMA. A sell order is placed if the MACD histogram shows a negative bar after a positive bar. The sell order is closed when the MACD histogram turns positive and is above the previous histogram bar.
