Strategy Myth-Busting #7 - MACDBB+SSL+VSF - [MYN]This is part of a new series we are calling "Strategy Myth-Busting" where we take open public manual trading strategies and automate them. The goal is to not only validate the authenticity of the claims but to provide an automated version for traders who wish to trade autonomously.
Our seventh one we are automating is the "Magic MACD Indicator: Crazy Accurate Scalping Trading Strategy ( 74% Win Rate )" strategy from "TradeIQ" who claims to have backtested this manually and achieved 427% profit with a 74% winrate over 100 trades in just a 4 months. I was unable to emulate these results consistently accommodating for slippage and commission but even so the results and especially the high win-rate and low markdown is pretty impressive and quite respectable.
This strategy uses a combination of 3 open-source public indicators:
AK MACD BB v 1.00 by Algokid
SSL Hybrid by Mihkel00
Volume Strength Finder by Saravanan_Ragavan
This is considered a trend following Strategy. AK MACD BB is being used as the primary short term trend direction indicator with an interesting approach of using Bollinger Bands to define an upper and lower range and upon the MACD going above the upper Bollinger Bands, it's indicative of an up trend, where as if the MACD is below the lower Bollinger Band, it's indicative of a down trend. To eliminate false signals, SSL Hyrbid is used as a trend confirmation filter, confirming and eliminating false signals from the MACD BB. It does this by validating the price action is above the the EMA and the SSL is positive that is a confirmation of an uptrend. When the price action is below the EMA and the SSL is negative, that is an confirmation of a downtrend. To avoid taking trades during ranged markets, VSF Buyer's Strength is used so the buyers/sellers strength and must be above 50% or the trade will not be inititiated.
Trading Rules
5 min candles but other lower time frames even below 5m work quite well too.
Best results can be found by tweaking these 2 input parameters:
Number Of bars to look back to ensure MACD isn't above/below Zero Line
Number Of bars back to look for SSL pullback
Long Entry when these conditions are true
AK MACD BB BB issues a new continuation long signal. A new green circle must appear on the indicator and these circles should not be touching across the zero level while they were previously red
SSL Hybrid price action closes above the EMA and the line is blue color and then creates a pullback . The pullback is confirmed when the color changes from blue to gray or from blue to red.
VSF Buyers strength above 50% at the time the MACD indicator issues a new long signal.
Short Entry when these conditions are true
AK MACD BB issues a new continuation short signal. A new red circle must appear on the indicator and these circles should not be touching across the zero level while they were previously green
SSL Hybrid price action closes below the EMA and the line is red color then it has to create a pullback . The pullback is confirmed when the color changes from red to gray or from red to blue.
VSF Sellers strength above 50% at the time the MACD indicator issues a new short signal.
Stop Loss at EMA Line with TP Target 1.5x the risk

[Sniper] SSL Hybrid + QQE MOD + Waddah Attar StrategyHi. I’m DuDu95.
**********************************************************************************
This is the script for the series called "Sniper".
*** What is "Sniper" Series? ***
"Sniper" series is the project that I’m going to start.
In "Sniper" Series, I’m going to "snipe and shoot" the youtuber’s strategy: to find out whether the youtuber’s video about strategy is "true or false".
Specifically, I’m going to do the things below.
1. Implement "Youtuber’s strategy" into pinescript code.
2. Then I will "backtest" and prove whether "the strategy really works" in the specific ticker (e.g. BTCUSDT) for the specific timeframe (e.g. 5m).
3. Based on the backtest result, I will rate and judge whether the youtube video is "true" or "false", and then rate the validity, reliability, robustness, of the strategy. (like a lie detector)
*** What is the purpose of this series? ***
1. To notify whether the strategy really works for the people who watched the youtube video.
2. To find and build my own scalping / day trading strategy that really works.
**********************************************************************************
*** Strategy Description ***
This strategy is from "SSL QQE MOD 5MIN SCALPING STRATEGY" by youtuber "Daily Investments".
"Daily Investments" claimed that this strategy will make you some money from 100 trades in any ticker in 5 minute timeframe.
### Entry Logic
1. Long Entry Logic
- close > SSL Hybrid Baseline.
- QQE MOD should turn into blue color.
- Waddah Attar Explosion indicator must be green.
2. Short Entry Logic
- close < SSL Hybrid Baseline
- QQE MOD should turn into red color.
- Waddah Attar Explosion indicator must be red.
### Exit Logic
1. Long Exit Logic
- When QQE MOD turn into red color.
2. Short Entry Logic
- When QQE MOD turn into blue color.
### StopLoss
1. Can Choose Stop Loss Type: Percent, ATR, Previous Low / High.
2. Can Chosse inputs of each Stop Loss Type.
### Take Profit
1. Can set Risk Reward Ratio for Take Profit.
- To simplify backtest, I erased all other options except RR Ratio.
- You can add Take Profit Logic by adding options in the code.
2. Can set Take Profit Quantity.
### Risk Manangement
1. Can choose whether to use Risk Manangement Logic.
- This controls the Quantity of the Entry.
- e.g. If you want to take 3% risk per trade and stop loss price is 6% below the long entry price,
then 50% of your equity will be used for trade.
2. Can choose How much risk you would take per trade.
### Plot
1. Added Labels to check the data of entry / exit positions.
2. Changed and Added color different from the original one. (green: #02732A, red: #D92332, yellow: #F2E313)
3. SSL Hybrid Baseline is by default drawn on the chart.
4. If you check EMA filter, EMA would be drawn on the chart.
5. Should add QQE MOD and Waddah Attar Explosion indicator manually if you want to see QQE MOD.
**********************************************************************************
*** Rating: True or False?
### Rating:
→ 1.5 / 5 (0 = Trash, 1 = Bad, 2 = Not Good, 3 = Good, 4 = Great, 5 = Excellent)
### True or False?
→ False
→ Doesn't Work on 5 minute timeframe. Also, it doesn't work on crypto.
### Better Option?
→ Use this for Day trading or Swing Trading, not for Scalping. (Bigger Timeframe)
→ Although the result was bad at 5 minute timeframe, it was profitable in 1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 1d timeframe.
→ BTC, ETH was ok.
→ The result was better when I use EMA filter (only on longer timeframe).
### Robust?
→ So So. Although result was bad in short timeframe (e.g. 30m 15m 5m), backtest result was "consistently" profitable on longer timeframe.
→ Also, MDD was not that bad under risk management option on.
**********************************************************************************
*** Conclusion?
→ Don't use this on short timeframe.
→ Better use on longer timeframe with filter, stoploss and risk management.
QQE MOD + SSL Hybrid + Waddah Attar ExplosionTRADE CONDITIONS
Long entry:
QQE Mod changes to Blue (leading indicator)
SSL Hybrid is Blue and price is above MA Channel line
Waddah Attar Explosion is Green and above Explosion line
Short entry:
QQE Mod changes to Red (leading indicator)
SSL Hybrid is Red and price is below MA Channel line
Waddah Attar Explosion is Red and above Explosion line
Risk management:
Each trade risks 2% of account (configurable in settings)
SL size determined by swing low/high of previous X candles (configurable in settings)
TP is triggered on SSL Hybrid EXIT arrow signals
TIPS
Timeframe: Personally I've found best results running this on 1H timeframe.
Note: To help visual identification of trade entries and exits you may wish to add the SSL Hybrid and Waddah Attar Explosion to the chart separately. They are being used to determine trade entry/exit within the code of this strategy but it was not possible to display them in a clear way within a single panel. Make sure you set the settings of the auxiliary indicators to match what is in the settings of this indicator if you do decide to add them.

Linear SSL ShortThis script consist of two parts: linear SSL and DEMA. The difference between original SSL and current is that it calculated by linear regression. The logic is simple: when SSL "crossunder" and DEMA is above the price - we get short signal. When price became above DEMA and SSL "crossover" - close short.
SSL Hybrid Exit Arrow StrategyBasic concept: Use the SSL Hybrid indicator's EXIT ARROWS to determine trade entry and exit points.
Rules:
Enter LONG trades on BLUE exit arrows
Enter SHORT trades on RED exit arrows
Uses up to 3 DCA orders for trade entry
Sets a stop loss
Does not set any take profit. Relies on opposing arrow to exit current position
When filters are set it affects opening of positions, but opposing arrow will always exit trades regardless of filtering options set
Additional filtering configuration:
If the SSL filter checkbox is checked, then LONG positions can only be opened when SSL1 is below the baseline lower and SHORT positions can only be opened when the SSL1 is above the baseline upper
If the QQE MOD checkbox is checked, then LONG positions can only be opened when QQE MOD histogram bars are BLUE and the QQE MOD line is ABOVE 0 and SHORT positions can only be opened when the QQE MOD histogram bars are RED and the QQE MOD line is BELOW 0
Both SSL and QQE MOD filters may be combined to give stricter filtering, however I find it often prevents entry to too many good trades
SSL Hybrid StrategyStrategy based on the SSL Hybrid indicator by Mihkel00
Designed for the purpose of back testing
Strategy:
Enters both long and short trades based on SSL1 crossing the baseline
Stop Loss calculated based on ATR multiplier
Option to allow moving of Stop Loss to break even on TP1
Option to turn off Stop Loss and Take Profit which will rely on indicator flip to exit from position
Take Profits configurable with up to 5 ATR multipliers and exits percentages (percentages calculated as percentages of original position size, eg. 100 tokens with 3 TPs of 20, 30, 50 would exit the same number of tokens on each TP)

SSL Chaikin BF 🚀Combined my earlier SSL Channel script with the Chaikin Money Flow indicator.
Link to the SSL Channel script here:
INSTRUCTIONS
Look at the background, the signals are represented by the colors.
Bright green = long signal from SSL Channel
Bright blue = long signal from Chaikin Money Flow
Bright red = short signal from SSL Channel
Bright orange = short signal from Chaikin Money Flow
Green = we should be in a long from one of the signals - ok to enter back in if we get stopped out and still green
Red = we should be in a short from one of the signals - ok to enter back in if we get stopped out and still red
White = no trade
SIGNAL GENERATION
The SSL calculation prints a channel on the chart consisting of 2 lines.
This strategy gives a Long signal when price closes above the top of these 2 lines and a Short signal when it closes below the bottom.
A long signal occurs when EITHER we get an SSL long cross OR the Chaikin MF crosses above the upper threshold.
A short signal occurs when EITHER we get an SSL short cross OR the Chaikin MF crosses below the lower threshold (see settings to adjust upper and lower threshold).
STOP LOSS AND RE-ENTRY
We use a fixed stop loss of 2%
If we get stopped out but we still have the conditions for our trade (i.e. we get stopped out of a long but the next candle still shows a long condition after closing) then we re-enter.
Note: The SSL signals are generated on a cross of the price and the channels but there is still an active long signal as long as price stays above the upper band, same for below the lower band for short. Similarly, the Chaikin signal occurs as long as the Chaikin line is above the upper threshold (or below the lower threshold if short).
Tested and optimised for XBT/USD on Bitmex.
SSL Channel BFSSL Channel Close is a great all-rounder based on 2 Simple Moving Averages, one of recent Highs, one of recent Lows.
The calculation prints a channel on the chart consisting of 2 lines.
This strategy gives a Long signal when price closes above the top of these 2 lines and a Short signal when it closes below the bottom.
Trading in choppy sideways markets can compound losses so we avoid that here by using recent ATR to determine relative volatility and refrain from trading when the background is White.
We use a basic 3% stop loss.
Charted on XBT/USD Bitmex Daily chart.
INSTRUCTIONS
Green = long
Red = short
White Background= No trade
The way I have set this strategy up is that if we get stopped out but we are still in a green or red background, we re-enter. Closing the trade only occurs on an opposing signal or if we get stopped out.
No Nonsense NNFX VP Strategy for Back Testing 3 x Indicators| jhAfter testing your individual indicators, it's time to build up your algo with additional indicators and further backtest the strategy.
Using SSL twice here, faster SSL for 1st confirmation, slower SSL for 2nd confirmation and TDFI for volume validation.
