Usage Guide
Part 1: The concept and general possibilities of the "Multi Channel GRID & DCA LTF" strategy
Introduction
Welcome to the guide to "Multi Channel GRID & DCA LTF", a powerful and versatile automated trading strategy for the TradingView platform. This tool was developed for traders who are looking for flexibility, control and a high degree of adaptability to various market conditions.
The strategy is based on a hybrid approach that combines two popular and time-tested techniques.:
1. GRID (grid trading): The classic method of averaging a position is by placing a grid of limit orders.
2. DCA (Dollar Cost averaging): Smart position averaging based on signals from external indicators.
However, "Multi Channel GRID & DCA LTF" goes far beyond the simple combination of these two techniques. The strategy includes a number of unique and innovative features, such as cascading MultiGRID grids for dealing with extreme volatility, Channel Mode range trading mode for profiting from sideways movement, and Low Time Frame analysis (LTF) to achieve surgical accuracy in backtesting. Deep customization options for risk management, capital, take profits, and stop losses allow you to configure a strategy for almost any trading style, asset, and timeframe.
The basic idea: How does it work?
Let's take a detailed look at each of the key concepts embedded in the logic of the strategy.
1. GRID — Automatic placement of buy and sell orders at certain price intervals.
This is a fundamental mode of operation. Its main goal is to systematically improve the average entry price for a position if the market is going against you.
* The principle of operation: After opening the base (first) order (`BO`), the strategy automatically places a series of pending limit orders (here they are called "safety orders" or "SO") at certain price intervals. For a long position, orders are placed below the entry price, and for a short position, orders are placed higher.
* Target: When the price moves against an open position, it consistently hits and executes safety orders. Each such execution adds additional volume to the position at a more favorable price, thereby shifting the overall average entry price (`position_avg_price') closer to the current market price. This means that a much smaller corrective movement will be required to gain ground.
* Flexibility: You have full control over the geometry of the grid: the number of safety orders, the percentage distance between them (`SO Step`), and you can even set a coefficient that will increase this step for each subsequent order (`SO Multiplier`), creating an expanding grid.
2. DCA (Signal Averaging) — Smart Averaging
This mode adds an additional layer of analysis to the averaging process. Instead of just buying/selling at the set price levels, the strategy waits for a confirmation signal.
* Working principle: You can connect any external indicator (for example, RSI, CCI, or even your own complex signal system) to the strategy, which outputs numerical values. As standard, 1 is used for a long signal, and -1 is used for a short signal. The strategy will place the next averaging order only at the moment when it receives the appropriate signal.
* Goal: To average a position not just during a fall (or a rise for a short), but at the moments that your main trading system considers the most favorable for this. This allows you to avoid "catching falling knives" and enter only if there are good reasons.
3. Hybrid Mode (GRID+DCA) is the best of the previous two modes
This mode is designed for maximum filtering and control. It requires two conditions to be fulfilled simultaneously.
* Working principle: The safety order will be executed only if the price has reached the calculated grid level and a confirmation signal has been received from your external indicator. If a confirmation signal is received from an external indicator, the next calculated grid level activates the limit order.
* Goal: To create the most reliable averaging system that protects against premature entries and requires double confirmation (both by price and indicator) before increasing the position size.
4. MultiGRID — Adaptation to extreme volatility
This is one of the most powerful and unique features of a strategy designed to survive and make a profit in the face of strong, protracted trends or "black swans".
* The problem it solves: The usual grid of orders has a limited depth. If the price goes beyond the last safety order, the strategy loses the opportunity to average and becomes vulnerable.
* The principle of operation: The MultiGRID function allows you to create "cascades" — several grids following one another. When all the orders of the first grid are executed, the strategy does not stop. Instead, she can activate the second, third (and so on) a grid of orders. The new grid can be activated by one of two triggers:
1. Offset: The new grid is activated when the price passes another set percentage deviation from the last executed order.
2. Signal: The new grid is activated when a signal is received from an external indicator.
* Goal: To significantly expand the working range of the strategy. This allows it to adapt to strong market movements that would "break" the usual grid, and continue to effectively average a position at a much greater depth of decline or growth.
5. Channel Mode — Trading in the range
This feature turns a standard averaging strategy into a machine for "farming" profits within a price channel that is formed during a sideways market movement.
* The problem it solves: In the standard grid strategy, after partially closing a take profit position, the volume of this part "leaves" the trade until the deal is fully closed. You are missing the opportunity to reuse this capital.
* Operating principle: When Channel Mode is enabled, the following happens. Suppose the price went against you, executed several safety orders, and then turned around and reached one of the partial take profits. At this point, the strategy is:
1. Fixes the profit, as it should be.
2. Instantly places a new limit order to buy (or sell for a short) at exactly the same price level where the last triggered safety order was executed. The volume of this order is equal to the volume of the part that was just closed for take profit.
3. If the price goes down again and executes this "repeat" order, the strategy immediately sets a corresponding take profit for it at the level where the previous profit was taken.
* Goal: To create a continuous buy-sell cycle within the local range (channel). The lower limit of the channel is the price of the last averaging, and the upper limit is the price of a partial take profit. This allows you to repeatedly profit from sideways price fluctuations, without waiting for the full closure of the main, large transaction.
6. LTF (Lower Timeframe Analysis) — Surgical precision of backtesting
This feature is critically important for obtaining reliable results during historical testing (backtesting) of grid strategies.
* The problem it solves: The standard testing mechanism in TradingView has a serious limitation. Working, for example, on a 4-hour chart, he sees only 4 candle points: Open, High, Low and Close. He does not know in what order the price moved within these 4 hours. He could have touched High first and then Low, or vice versa. For grid strategies, this is fatal — the engine can show that a take profit has been executed, although in reality the price first went down, collected the entire grid of orders and only then turned around.
* How it works: When you turn on the LTF mode, the strategy for each candle on your main chart (for example, 4H) requests and analyzes all candles from the lower timeframe you specified (for example, 1-minute). Then it virtually trades the entire price path for these minute candles, executing orders, take profits and stop losses in the sequence in which they would occur in reality. It works in the single take profit mode of the Grid strategy.
* Goal: To provide the most realistic and reliable backtest that reflects the real dynamics of the market. This allows you to avoid false expectations and accurately assess the potential performance of the strategy.

Part 2: Detailed description of the strategy settings
This section is your main guide to all the switches and options available in the strategy. Understanding each setting is the key to unlocking the full potential of this powerful tool.
1. 🛡️ Risk Management 🛡️
This group contains fundamental parameters that determine the basic logic of risk management and the geometry of grid orders.
* Strategy type: Determines the direction of transactions.
* Long: The strategy will only open long positions (buy).
* Short: The strategy will only open short positions (sell).
* Both: The strategy will work both ways, opening long or short depending on the incoming signal.
* SO Count: Sets the maximum number of Safety (averaging) Orders (SO) that the strategy will place within the same grid. If you have MultiGRID enabled, this number applies to each individual grid.
* SO Step (%): This is the base percentage deviation from the entry price at which the first safety order will be placed. For example, at a value of 0.5, the first SO in a long trade will be placed 0.5% lower than the opening price of the base order.
* SO Multiplier: A coefficient that exponentially increases the step for each subsequent safety order. This allows you to create an expanding grid where averaging orders are placed further and further apart, which is effective with strong and accelerating price movements.
* *The step formula for the nth order*: Step(N) = (SO Step) * (SO Multiplier ^(N-1)).
* If the value is 1, all steps will be the same.
* With a value of 1.6, the step of the second SO will be 1.6 times larger than the first, the step of the third will be 1.6 times larger than the second, and so on.
* 1️⃣ TP/SL: These are simplified settings for quick configuration. They allow you to turn on/off the main take profit and stop loss and set basic percentage values for them. More detailed settings for these parameters can be found in the relevant sections below.
// ------------------------
2. 💰 Money Management 💰
Everything related to position size, leverage, and capital is configured here.
* Volume BO (Base Order): Determines the size of the trade's opening order.
* Volume BO: A fixed amount in the quote currency (for example, in USDT).
* USDT (check mark): Manages the information in the comments to the orders. If enabled, the volume of orders in USDT will be displayed in the comments. This is convenient for visual analysis and for sending the amount of USDT by the placeholder {{strategy.order.comment}} via webhooks when connecting the strategy to the exchange or trading terminals.
* or % of deposit: The amount calculated as a percentage of the available capital of the strategy. The check mark to the right of this field enables this mode. Important: using a percentage activates the effect of compounding (compound interest), as the amount of each new transaction will be automatically recalculated based on the current capital (initial capital + profit/loss). If enabled, the percentage of orders will be displayed in the comments. This is convenient for visual analysis and for sending percentages on the placeholder {{strategy.order.comment}} via webhooks when connecting the strategy to the stock exchange, trading terminals, or creating Copy trading.
* Martingale: The coefficient applied to the volume of orders. It increases the size of each subsequent insurance order compared to the base one.
* Volume formula for the nth SO: Volume SO (N) = (Volume BO) * (Martingale^N).
* With a value of 1.2, the volume of the first SO will be 1.2 times greater than the base, the second — 1.44 times (`1.2 * 1.2`) and so on.
* Leverage: Specify the size of your leverage. This parameter is used exclusively for calculating and displaying the approximate liquidation price. It does not affect the size of positions, but it helps to visually assess the risks.
* Liquidation: Enables or disables the calculation and display of the liquidation line on the chart.
* Margin type: Allows you to select a method for calculating the liquidation price, simulating the logic of exchanges:
* Isolated: The liquidation price is calculated based on the size and leverage of the current open position only.
* Cross: The calculation simulates using the entire available balance to maintain a position. In the strategy, the liquidation price is calculated as the level at which the loss on the current transaction is equal to the current capital.
* Commission (%): Specify the percentage of your exchange's commission per transaction. The correct value of this parameter is crucial for obtaining realistic backtest results.
// ------------------------
3. 🕸️ Grid Management 🕸️
This group is responsible for the logic of safety orders and advanced mechanics such as Channel Mode and MultiGRID.
* SO Type: Defines the logic of placing averaging orders.
* GRID: Classic grid. All safety orders are placed in advance as limit orders.
* DCA: Signal averaging. The strategy is waiting for a signal from an external indicator to place a market averaging order.
* GRID+DCA: Hybrid. The strategy waits for a signal, and if it arrives, places a limit order at the appropriate price level of the grid or executes a market order if the signal has arrived below the limit order level.
* Signal for SO: A data source (indicator) that will be used for signals in DCA and GRID+DCA modes.
* ↔️ Channel Mode: When this option is enabled, the strategy tries to trade in a sideways range. After partially closing a take profit position, it immediately places a limit order for re-entry at the price of the last triggered safety order. This creates a buy-sell cycle within the local channel.
* Best Price Only: This filter adds an additional condition for averaging in DCA and MultiGRID modes (when it operates on a signal). The next averaging order or a new grid will be activated only if the current price is more favorable (lower for long, higher for short) than the price of the previous entry.
* 🧩 MultiGRID ⮕ Enables cascading grid mode.
* Grid Count: The total number of grids that can be activated sequentially.
* Offset: Percentage deviation from the price of the last order of the previous grid. When this margin is reached, the following grid of orders is activated (this mode does not require a signal).
* Or signal: Allows you to use the signal from an external indicator as a trigger to activate the next grid. The checkmark on the right turns on this mode.
// ------------------------
4. 🎯 Entry and Stop 🎯
This group of settings allows you to fine-tune the conditions for starting a new trade and all aspects related to protective stop orders, including the complex mechanics of trailing and managing SL after partial take profits.
* 🎯 Signal: A data source (indicator) that will be used to determine when to enter a trade. The strategy expects a value of 1 for the start of a long trade and -1 for a short trade.
* Min Bars: Sets the minimum number of candles that must pass from the moment of opening the previous trade to the moment of opening the next one. A value of 0 disables this filter. This is a useful tool to prevent overly frequent entries in a "noisy" market.
* Non-stop: If this option is enabled, the strategy ignores the Entry Signal and opens a new trade immediately after closing the previous one (taking into account the Min Bars filter, if it is set). This turns the strategy into a constantly working mechanism that is always on the market.
* 🛑 SL Type: Defines the base price from which the stop loss percentage will be calculated. The stop loss in the first section must be enabled for this block of settings to work.
* From the entry point: SL is always calculated from the opening price of the very first base order. It remains static throughout the entire transaction unless it is moved by other functions.
* From breakeven line: SL is dynamically recalculated and shifted each time a safety order is executed. It always follows the average price of the position, being at a given percentage distance from it.
* From last executed SO: SL is recalculated from the price of the last executed order, whether it is a base or a safety order.
* From last SO: SL is calculated from the price of the most recent possible safety order in the grid. This is usually the most remote and conservative type of SL.
* Trailing SL Type: Defines the algorithm by which the stop loss will move after its activation.
* Standard: Classic trailing. After activation, SL will follow the price at a fixed distance.
* ATR: SL will follow the price at a distance equal to the value of the ATR indicator multiplied by the specified multiplier.
* External Source: SL will follow any selected line of the third-party indicator.
* Period and Multiplier: Common parameters for all types of trailing.
* Source: The source of the line for the trailing SL of the third-party indicator.
* Trailing SL after entry: The mode of activation of the trailing SL after entering the transaction
* SL management after TP (sections 1️⃣, 2️⃣, 3️⃣): These three blocks allow you to create a complex stop loss management logic as profits are recorded.
For each take profit level (TP1, TP2, TP3), you can configure:
* SL BE / SL TP1 / SL TP2: When the corresponding TP is reached, the stop loss will be moved to the breakeven point (for TP1), to the TP1 price level (for TP2) or to the TP2 price level (for TP3).
* Trailing SL: When the corresponding TP is reached, the trailing stop loss is activated according to the settings above.
* By ↔️ Signal: A very powerful option. If it is enabled, the above action (SL transfer or trailing activation) will occur when the opposite trading signal is received from an external indicator. This allows you to protect profits or reduce losses if the market turns sharply, even before reaching the target.
* SL Delay ⮕ Allows you to delay the activation of the stop loss.
* Number of Bars: The Stop loss will be physically placed on the market only after the specified number of candles has passed since entering the trade. This can help to avoid "taking out" the stop with a random short movement (squiz) immediately after opening a position.
* SL Block: Unique defensive mechanics for trading both ways (`Strategy Type: Both`).
* Number of SL: If the strategy receives the specified number of stop losses in a row in one direction (for example, 2 stops long), it temporarily blocks the opportunity to open new trades in that direction.
* Lock Reset mode:
* By direction: The lock is lifted if a profitable trade is closed in the allowed direction or if a stop loss is triggered in the opposite direction.
* First profit: The lock is lifted after closing any profitable transaction, regardless of its direction.
// ------------------------
5. ✅ Take Profit ✅
This group of settings provides comprehensive control over profit taking, from a simple take profit to a complex system of partial closures and trailing.
* ✅ TP Type: Defines the base price for calculating the percentage deviation of the take profit.
* From entry point: TP is calculated from the base order price.
* From breakeven line: TP dynamically follows the average position price.
* From last executed SO: TP is calculated from the price of the last executed order.
* Filters for closing on signal
* Only ➕: If TP is triggered by a signal, the deal will be closed only if it is in the black relative to the average price.
* Or >TP: If TP is triggered by a signal, the trade will be closed only if the closing price is better than (or equal to) the estimated price of this TP.
* TP type of trailing: Yes, take profit has a trailing too! It works differently than the SL trailing.
* Standard / ATR: After the price touches the "virtual" TP level, the trailing is activated. He does not place a stop order, but begins to move away from the price, dynamically moving the limit order to close further and further in the profitable direction, allowing him to collect the maximum from the impulse movement.
* External Source: TP will follow any selected line of the third-party indicator.
* Period and Multiplier: Parameters for calculating the trailing margin TP.
* Source: The source of the line for the trailing TP of the third-party indicator.
* TP level settings (sections 1️⃣, 2️⃣, 3️⃣, 4️⃣): The strategy supports up to four independent take profit levels, which allows for a flexible system of partial commits.
For each level, you can set:
* TP: Enable the level and set its percentage deviation from the base price.
* Size: What percentage of the current position will be closed when this level is reached. For the last active TP, this parameter is ignored, and 100% of the remaining position is closed.
* Trailing TP: Enable the above-described trailing mechanism for this particular level.
* Signal: Enable closing based on the signal from the external indicator for this level.
* Or take: If both the closing on the signal and the limit order are enabled, then whatever comes first will work.
* After SO: Activate this TP level only after the specified number of safety orders has been executed. This allows you to set closer targets for riskier (deeply averaged) positions.
// ------------------------
6. 🔬 GRID and MultiGrid Analysis on Lower TFs (LTF) 🔬
This group activates one of the most important functions for accurate testing of grid strategies.
* Enable LTF Calculation ⮕ The main switch of the analysis mode on the lower timeframes.
* Timeframe selection: A drop-down list where you can select a timeframe for detailed analysis. For example, if your main schedule is 1 hour, you can select 1 minute here. The strategy will emulate the trading of minute candles within each hour candle.
❗️Important: As mentioned in the first part, the use of this mode is critically necessary to obtain realistic backtest results, especially for strategies with a dense grid of orders. Without it, the results may be overly optimistic and not reflect the real dynamics of the market. It should be remembered that TradingView imposes a limit on the number of intra-bars (minor TF bars) that can be requested. This is usually about 100,000 bars.
// ------------------------
7. 🕘 Backtest Date Range 🕘
This group allows you to focus testing on a specific historical period.
* Limit Date Range: Enables date filtering.
* Start time: The date and time when the strategy will start analyzing and opening deals.
* End time: The date and time after which the strategy will stop opening new deals and complete testing.
// ------------------------
8. 🎨 Visualization 🎨
All the options responsible for the appearance and information content of the chart are collected here.
* Show PnL labels: Enables/disables the display of text labels with the result (profit/loss) after closing each trade.
* Statistics Table: Enables/disables the main dashboard with detailed statistics on the results of the backtest.
* Strategy Settings Table: Enables/disables an additional panel that summarizes all the key parameters of the current configuration.
* Monthly Profit Table: Enables/disables a table with a breakdown of percentage returns by month and year.
* Table settings: For each of the three tables, you can individually adjust the Text size and Table Position on the screen to position them as conveniently as possible.
* Decimal places: Defines how many decimal places will be displayed in numeric values in tables and on labels.
// ------------------------
9. ✉️ Webhook Settings ✉️
This group is intended for traders who want to automate trading on strategy signals using third-party services and exchanges (for example, 3Commas, WunderTrading, Cryptorobotics, Cryptohopper, Bitsgap, Binance, ByBit, OKX, Pionex, Bitget or proprietary solutions).
For each key event in the strategy, there is a separate switch and a text field:
* Webhook for Open: Enable and set a message for the webhook that will be sent when the base order is opened.
* Webhook for Averaging: A message sent when executing any insurance order.
* Webhook for Take Profit: A message sent when closing on take profit (including partial ones).
* Webhook for Stop-Loss: A message sent when a stop loss is closed.
You can insert a JSON code or any other message format that your service requires for automation into the text fields. The strategy supports special placeholders (for example, `{{strategy.order.alert_message}}`), which allow you to dynamically insert the necessary data into the message, such as the amount of USDT or the percentage of the deposit for entry, averaging and take profit orders.

Mutanabby_AI | ATR+ | Trend-Following StrategyThis document presents the Mutanabby_AI | ATR+ Pine Script strategy, a systematic approach designed for trend identification and risk-managed position entry in financial markets. The strategy is engineered for long-only positions and integrates volatility-adjusted components to enhance signal robustness and trade management.
Strategic Design and Methodological Basis
The Mutanabby_AI | ATR+ strategy is constructed upon a foundation of established technical analysis principles, with a focus on objective signal generation and realistic trade execution.
Heikin Ashi for Trend Filtering: The core price data is processed via Heikin Ashi (HA) methodology to mitigate transient market noise and accentuate underlying trend direction. The script offers three distinct HA calculation modes, allowing for comparative analysis and validation:
Manual Calculation: Provides a transparent and deterministic computation of HA values.
ticker.heikinashi(): Utilizes TradingView's built-in function, employing confirmed historical bars to prevent repainting artifacts.
Regular Candles: Allows for direct comparison with standard OHLC price action.
This multi-methodological approach to trend smoothing is critical for robust signal generation.
Adaptive ATR Trailing Stop: A key component is the Average True Range (ATR)-based trailing stop. ATR serves as a dynamic measure of market volatility. The strategy incorporates user-defined parameters (
Key Value and ATR Period) to calibrate the sensitivity of this trailing stop, enabling adaptation to varying market volatility regimes. This mechanism is designed to provide a dynamic exit point, preserving capital and locking in gains as a trend progresses.
EMA Crossover for Signal Generation: Entry and exit signals are derived from the interaction between the Heikin Ashi derived price source and an Exponential Moving Average (EMA). A crossover event between these two components is utilized to objectively identify shifts in momentum, signaling potential long entry or exit points.
Rigorous Stop Loss Implementation: A critical feature for risk mitigation, the strategy includes an optional stop loss. This stop loss can be configured as a percentage or fixed point deviation from the entry price. Importantly, stop loss execution is based on real market prices, not the synthetic Heikin Ashi values. This design choice ensures that risk management is grounded in actual market liquidity and price levels, providing a more accurate representation of potential drawdowns during backtesting and live operation.
Backtesting Protocol: The strategy is configured for realistic backtesting, employing fill_orders_on_standard_ohlc=true to simulate order execution at standard OHLC prices. A configurable Date Filter is included to define specific historical periods for performance evaluation.
Data Visualization and Metrics: The script provides on-chart visual overlays for buy/sell signals, the ATR trailing stop, and the stop loss level. An integrated information table displays real-time strategy parameters, current position status, trend direction, and key price levels, facilitating immediate quantitative assessment.
Applicability
The Mutanabby_AI | ATR+ strategy is particularly suited for:
Cryptocurrency Markets: The inherent volatility of assets such as #Bitcoin and #Ethereum makes the ATR-based trailing stop a relevant tool for dynamic risk management.
Systematic Trend Following: Individuals employing systematic methodologies for trend capture will find the objective signal generation and rule-based execution aligned with their approach.
Pine Script Developers and Quants: The transparent code structure and emphasis on realistic backtesting provide a valuable framework for further analysis, modification, and integration into broader quantitative models.
Automated Trading Systems: The clear, deterministic entry and exit conditions facilitate integration into automated trading environments.
Implementation and Evaluation
To evaluate the Mutanabby_AI | ATR+ strategy, apply the script to your chosen chart on TradingView. Adjust the input parameters (Key Value, ATR Period, Heikin Ashi Method, Stop Loss Settings) to observe performance across various asset classes and timeframes. Comprehensive backtesting is recommended to assess the strategy's historical performance characteristics, including profitability, drawdown, and risk-adjusted returns.

Backtest - Strategy Builder [AlgoAlpha]🟠 OVERVIEW
This script by AlgoAlpha is a modular Strategy Builder designed to let traders test custom trade entry and exit logic on TradingView without writing their own Pine code. It acts as a framework where users can connect multiple external signals, chain them in sequences, and run backtests with built-in leverage, margin, and risk controls. Its main strength is flexibility—you can define up to five sequential steps for entry and exit conditions on both long and short sides, with logic connectors (AND/OR) controlling how conditions combine. This lets you test complex multi-step confirmation workflows in a controlled, visual backtesting environment.
🟠 CONCEPTS
The system works by linking external signals —these can be values from other indicators, and/or custom sources—to conditional checks like “greater than,” “less than,” or “crossover.” You can stack these checks into steps , where all conditions in a step must pass before the sequence moves to the next. This creates a chain of logic that must be completed before a trade triggers. On execution, the strategy sizes positions according to your chosen leverage mode ( Cross or Isolated ) and allocation method ( Percent of equity or absolute USD value]). Liquidation prices are simulated for both modes, allowing realistic margin behaviour in testing. The script also tracks performance metrics like Sharpe, Sortino, profit factor, drawdown, and win rate in real time.
🟠 FEATURES
Up to 5 sequential steps for both long and short entries, each with multiple conditions linked by AND/OR logic.
Two leverage modes ( Cross and Isolated ) with independent long/short leverage multipliers.
Separate multi-step exit triggers for longs and shorts, with optional TP/SL levels or opposite-side triggers for flipping positions.
Position sizing by equity percent or fixed USD amount, applied before leverage.
Realistic liquidation price simulation for margin testing.
Built-in trade gating and validation—prevents trades if configuration rules aren’t met (e.g., no exit defined for an active side).
Full performance dashboard table showing live strategy status, warnings, and metrics.
Configurable bar coloring based on position side and TP/SL level drawing on chart.
Integration with TradingView's strategy backtester, allowing users to view more detailed metrics and test the strategy over custom time horizons.
🟠 USAGE
Add the strategy to your chart. In the settings, under Master Settings , enable longs/shorts, select leverage mode, set leverage multipliers, and define position sizing. Then, configure your Long Trigger and Short Trigger groups: turn on conditions, pick which external signal they reference, choose the comparison type, and assign them to a sequence step. For exits, use the corresponding Exit Long Trigger and Exit Short Trigger groups, with the option to link exits to opposite-side entries for auto-flips. You can also enable TP and/or SL exits with custom sources for the TP/SL levels. Once set, the strategy will simulate trades, show performance stats in the on-chart table, and highlight any configuration issues before execution. This makes it suitable for testing both simple single-signal systems and complex, multi-filtered strategies under realistic leverage and margin constraints.
🟠 EXAMPLE
The backtester on its own does not contain any indicator calculation; it requires input from external indicators to function. In this example, we'll be using AlgoAlpha's Smart Signals Assistant indicator to demonstrate how to build a strategy using this script.
We first define the conditions beforehand:
Entry :
Longs – SSA Bullish signal (strong OR weak)
Shorts – SSA Bearish signal (strong OR weak)
Exit
Longs/Shorts: (TP/SL hit OR opposing signal fires)
Other Parameters (⚠️Example only, tune this based on proper risk management and settings)
Long Leverage: default (3x)
Short Leverage: default (3x)
Position Size: default (10% of equity)
Steps
Load up the required indicators (in this example, the Smart Signals Assistant).
Ensure the required plots are being output by the indicator properly (signals and TP/SL levels are being plotted).
Open the Strategy Builder settings and scroll down to "CONDITION SETUP"; input the signals from the external indicator.
Configure the exit conditions, add in the TP/SL levels from the external indicator, and add an additional exit condition → {{Opposite Direction}} Entry Trigger.
After configuring the entry and exit conditions, the strategy should now be running. You can view information on the strategy in TradingView's backtesting report and also in the Strategy Builder's information table (default top right corner).
It is important to note that the strategy provided above is just an example, and the complexity of possible strategies stretches beyond what was shown in this short demonstration. Always incorporate proper risk management and ensure thorough testing before trading with live capital.

It is designed for CME-style spreads and synthetic instruments with well-defined reversion tendencies.
╭────────────╮
Core Concept
╰────────────╯
The strategy calculates a rolling mean and standard deviation of a chosen spread or synthetic price series, then computes the Z-score to measure deviation from the mean in standard deviation units.
Long entries trigger when Z crosses upward through a negative entry threshold (`-devEnter`). A buy limit is placed exactly at the price corresponding to that Z-score, optionally offset by a configurable tick amount.
Short entries trigger when Z crosses downward through a positive entry threshold (`+devEnter`). A sell limit is placed at the corresponding threshold price, also with optional offset.
Exits use the same threshold method, with an independent `Close Limit Offset` to fine-tune exit placement.
╭────────────╮
Key Features
╰────────────╯
Persistence filter – Requires the Z-score to remain beyond threshold for a configurable number of bars before entry.
Cooldown after exits – Prevents immediate re-entry to reduce over-trading.
Daily and weekend flattening – Force-flattens positions via limit orders before exchange maintenance breaks and weekend closes.
Auto-rollover detection with persistence – Detects when the second contract month’s daily volume exceeds the first for a set number of days, then blocks new entries (optional).
Configurable tick offsets – Independently adjust entry and exit levels relative to threshold prices.
Minimum spread width filter – Blocks trades when long/short entry thresholds are too close together.
Contract multiplier override – Allows correct sizing for synthetic symbols where `syminfo.pointvalue` is incorrect or missing.
Limit-only execution – All entries, exits, and forced-flat actions are executed with limit orders for price control.
╭────────────────────╮
Entry Blocking Rules
╰────────────────────╯
New trades are blocked:
During daily maintenance break pre-windows
During weekend close pre-windows
After rollover triggers, if `Block After Roll` is enabled
╭────────────────────────╮
Intended Markets & Usage
╰────────────────────────╯
Built for futures spreads and synthetic instruments , including calendar spreads.
Performs best in markets with clear seasonal or statistical mean-reverting tendencies.
Not designed for strongly trending, non-reverting markets.
╭──────────────────────────╮
Risk Management & Defaults
╰──────────────────────────╯
Fixed default position size of 1 contract (qty calc function available for customization).
Realistic commission and slippage assumptions pre-set.
Pyramiding disabled by default.
Default Z-score levels: Entry at ±2.0, Exit at ±0.5.
Separate tick offset controls for entries and exits.

POCTraderX Pro— Structure & Precision Algorithm POCTraderX Pro is a market analysis system designed to accurately identify key interest zones and price turning points. It combines advanced Price Action reading with a dynamic filtering process that adapts signals according to market volatility and internal structure.
Methodology
The algorithm analyzes the sequence of relevant highs and lows (HH, HL, LL, LH) along with the price location in relation to Point of Control levels and consolidation ranges.
It uses multi–timeframe confirmations to filter out false breakouts and optimize trade entries.
In high–volatility conditions, it automatically adjusts validation levels to maintain a favorable risk/reward ratio.
Configuration
Recommended timeframes: from 1–minute to daily, depending on the trading style.
Applicable markets: indices, forex, commodities, and cryptocurrencies.
Adjustable parameters:
Structure detection sensitivity.
Enable/disable volatility filters.
Show/hide control zones and previous ranges.
Purpose
Provide a clear reading of market structure and critical zones to help traders execute trades with greater consistency and avoid entries in low–probability areas.
Important Notes
This script is closed–source to protect its internal methodology, but it is based on an original combination of structural analysis and zone validation not available in free indicators.
It does not produce automatic buy or sell signals without context; it is intended to be integrated into a complete trading strategy.

Linear Mean Reversion Strategy📘 Strategy Introduction: Linear Mean Reversion with Fixed Stop
This strategy implements a simple yet powerful mean reversion model that assumes price tends to oscillate around a dynamic average over time. It identifies statistically significant deviations from the moving average using a z-score, and enters trades expecting a return to the mean.
🧠 Core Logic:
A z-score is calculated by comparing the current price to its moving average, normalized by standard deviation, over a user-defined half-life window.
Trades are entered when the z-score crosses a threshold (e.g., ±1), signaling overbought or oversold conditions.
The strategy exits positions either when price reverts back near the mean (z-score close to 0), or if a fixed stop loss of 100 points is hit, whichever comes first.
⚙️ Key Features:
Dynamic mean and volatility estimation using moving average and standard deviation
Configurable z-score thresholds for entry and exit
Position size scaling based on z-score magnitude
Fixed stop loss to control risk and avoid prolonged drawdowns
🧪 Use Case:
Ideal for range-bound markets or assets that exhibit stationary behavior around a mean, this strategy is especially useful on assets with mean-reverting characteristics like currency pairs, ETFs, or large-cap stocks. It is best suited for traders looking for short-term reversions rather than long-term trends.

CCI-MACD Strategy 4.2
I cerchi si basano sull'oscillatore CCI (Commodity Channel Index).
L’indicatore CCI ci permette di osservare se il livello attuale del prezzo è particolarmente al di sopra o al di sotto di una certa media mobile, avente un numero di periodi scelto da noi.
Più la deviazione dal prezzo medio nel breve termine è forte, e maggiormente l’indicatore si allontanerà dallo 0: verso l’alto in caso di uptrend, o verso il basso in caso di downtrend.
Il segnale viene dato quando il valore del CCI supera la linea dello zero.
Il tutto è filtrato con un altro indicatore, il MACD, acronimo di "Moving Average Convergence Divergence", usato per identificare cambiamenti nel momentum del prezzo.
The circles are based on the CCI (Commodity Channel Index) oscillator.
The CCI indicator allows us to observe whether the current price level is significantly above or below a certain moving average, with a number of periods chosen by us.
The greater the deviation from the short-term average price, the further the indicator will deviate from 0: upwards in the case of an uptrend, or downwards in the case of a downtrend.
The signal is given when the CCI value crosses the zero line.
This is all filtered through another indicator, the MACD, which stands for "Moving Average Convergence Divergence," used to identify changes in price momentum.

## Continuous Position Signals Implementation
The LongShortExit strategy can be enhanced with continuous position signals to provide visual feedback about the current position state. These signals can help you track when the strategy is in a long or short position.
### Adding Continuous Position Signals
Add the following code to implement continuous position signals (0 to 1):
```pine
// Continuous position signals (0 to 1)
var float longSignal = 0.0
var float shortSignal = 0.0
// Update position signals based on your indicator's conditions
longSignal := longCondition ? 1.0 : 0.0
shortSignal := shortCondition ? 1.0 : 0.0
// Plot continuous signals
plot(longSignal, title="Long Signal", color=#00FF00, linewidth=2, transp=0, style=plot.style_line)
plot(shortSignal, title="Short Signal", color=#FF0000, linewidth=2, transp=0, style=plot.style_line)
```
### Benefits of Continuous Position Signals
- Provides clear visual feedback of current position state (long/short)
- Signal values stay consistent (0 or 1) until condition changes
- Can be used for additional calculations or alert conditions
- Makes it easier to track when entry conditions are triggered
### Using with Custom Indicators
You can adapt the continuous position signals to work with any custom indicator by replacing the condition with your indicator's logic:
```pine
// Example with moving average crossover
longSignal := fastMA > slowMA ? 1.0 : 0.0
shortSignal := fastMA < slowMA ? 1.0 : 0.0
```
## Webhook Integration
The LongShortExit strategy is fully compatible with TradingView's webhook alerts, allowing you to connect your strategy to external trading platforms, brokers, or custom applications for automated trading execution.
### Setting Up Webhooks
1. Create an alert on your chart with the LongShortExit strategy
2. Enable the "Webhook URL" option in the alert dialog
3. Enter your webhook endpoint URL (from your broker or custom trading system)
4. Customize the alert message with relevant information using TradingView variables
### Webhook Message Format Example
```json
{
"strategy": "LongShortExit",
"action": "{{strategy.order.action}}",
"price": "{{strategy.order.price}}",
"quantity": "{{strategy.position_size}}",
"time": "{{time}}",
"ticker": "{{ticker}}",
"position_size": "{{strategy.position_size}}",
"position_value": "{{strategy.position_value}}",
"order_id": "{{strategy.order.id}}",
"order_comment": "{{strategy.order.comment}}"
}
```
### TradingView Alert Condition Examples
For effective webhook automation, set up these alert conditions:
#### Entry Alert
```
{{strategy.position_size}} != {{strategy.position_size}}
```
#### Exit Alert
```
{{strategy.position_size}} < {{strategy.position_size}} or {{strategy.position_size}} > {{strategy.position_size}}
```
#### Partial Take Profit Alert
```
strategy.order.comment contains "Partial TP"
```
### Benefits of Webhook Integration
- **Automated Trading**: Execute trades automatically through supported brokers
- **Cross-Platform**: Connect to custom trading bots and applications
- **Real-Time Notifications**: Receive trade signals on external platforms
- **Data Collection**: Log trade data for further analysis
- **Custom Order Management**: Implement advanced order types not available in TradingView
### Compatible External Applications
- Trading bots and algorithmic trading software
- Custom order execution systems
- Discord, Telegram, or Slack notification systems
- Trade journaling applications
- Risk management platforms
### Implementation Recommendations
- Test webhook delivery using a free service like webhook.site before connecting to your actual trading system
- Include authentication tokens or API keys in your webhook URL or payload when required by your external service
- Consider implementing confirmation mechanisms to verify trade execution
- Log all webhook activities for troubleshooting and performance tracking
## Strategy Customization Tips
### For Scalping
- Set smaller profit targets (1-3 points)
- Use tighter stop-losses
- Enable break-even feature after small profit
- Set higher max trades per day
### For Day Trading
- Use moderate profit targets
- Implement partial profit taking
- Enable trailing stops
- Set reasonable session trading hours
### For Swing Trading
- Use longer-term charts
- Set wider stops (ATR-based often works well)
- Use higher profit targets
- Disable daily streak reset
## Common Troubleshooting
### Low Win Rate
- Consider widening stop-losses
- Verify that entry conditions aren't triggering too frequently
- Check if the equals condition is too restrictive; consider small tolerances
### Missing Obvious Trades
- The equals condition is extremely precise. Price must exactly match the specified value.
- Consider using floating-point precision for more reliable triggers
### Frequent Stop-Outs
- Try ATR-based stops instead of fixed points
- Increase the stop-loss distance
- Enable break-even feature to protect profits
## Important Notes
- The exact equals condition is strict and may result in fewer trade signals compared to other conditions.
- For instruments with decimal prices, exact equality might be rare. Consider the precision of your value.
- Break-even and trailing stop calculations are based on points, not percentage.
- Partial take-profit levels are defined in points distance from entry.
- The continuous position signals (0 to 1) provide valuable visual feedback but don't affect the strategy's trading logic directly.
- When implementing continuous signals, ensure they're aligned with the actual entry conditions used by the strategy.

Outside Bar Strategy with Multiple Entry ModelsOutside Bar Strategy with Multiple Entry Models
This Pine Script strategy implements a versatile trading system based on the Outside Bar pattern, offering three distinct entry models: Close Entry, High/Low Entry, and Midpoint Entry. Designed for traders seeking flexibility, the strategy includes customizable risk/reward ratios, an optional EMA trend filter, and enhanced visualization with line fills.
Key Features:
Entry Models:
Close Entry: Enters a long position when the current candle closes above the high of the previous outside bullish bar . For short, it enters when the candle closes below the low of the previous outside bearish bar.
High/Low Entry: Enters a long position when the price crosses above the high of the previous outside bullish bar . For short, it enters when the price crosses below the low of the previous outside bearish bar .
Midpoint Entry: Places a limit order at the midpoint of the previous outside bar, entering when the price reaches this level.
EMA Trend Filter: Optionally filters signals based on the alignment of EMAs (7 > 25 > 99 > 200 for long, 7 < 25 < 99 < 200 for short). Can be toggled via the Use EMA Filter input.
Risk/Reward Management: Configurable risk/reward ratio (default 2.0) with stop-loss set at the low/high of the outside bar and take-profit calculated based on the bar's range multiplied by the ratio.
Visualization:
Lines for entry, stop-loss, and take-profit levels (dashed for active trades, solid for pending Midpoint Entry orders).
Line fills: Red between entry and stop-loss, green between entry and take-profit.
Previous lines and fills persist on the chart for historical reference (line deletion disabled).
Pending limit orders for Midpoint Entry extend dynamically to the right until triggered or canceled.
Information Table: Displays real-time trade details (entry model, RR ratio, open trade status, entry/stop/take-profit levels, profit/loss percentage) and strategy statistics (success rate, total trades). For Midpoint Entry, pending order details are shown.
Inputs:
Entry Model: Choose between Close Entry, High/Low Entry, or Midpoint Entry (default: Close Entry).
Risk/Reward Ratio: Set the RR ratio (default: 2.0, step: 0.5).
Use EMA Filter: Enable/disable the EMA trend filter (default: true).
Line Colors and Style: Customize colors for entry, stop-loss, and take-profit lines, and select line style (solid or dashed).
Table Settings: Adjust table text color, size (small/normal/large), and position (right top/middle/bottom).
Disclaimer: This strategy is for educational purposes only. Backtest thoroughly and use at your own risk. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Price Statistical Strategy-Z Score V 1.01
Price Statistical Strategy – Z Score V 1.01
Overview
A technical breakdown of the logic and components of the “Price Statistical Strategy – Z Score V 1.01”.
This script implements a smoothed Z-Score crossover mechanism applied to the closing price to detect potential statistical deviations from local price mean. The strategy operates solely on price data (close) and includes signal spacing control and momentum-based candle filters. No volume-based or trend-detection components are included.
Core Methodology
The strategy is built on the statistical concept of Z-Score, which quantifies how far a value (closing price) is from its recent average, normalized by standard deviation. Two moving averages of the raw Z-Score are calculated: a short-term and a long-term smoothed version. The crossover between them generates long entries and exits.
Signal Conditions
Entry Condition:
A long position is opened when the short-term smoothed Z-Score crosses above the long-term smoothed Z-Score, and additional entry conditions are met.
Exit Condition:
The position is closed when the short-term Z-Score crosses below the long-term Z-Score, provided the exit conditions allow.
Signal Gapping:
A minimum number of bars (Bars gap between identical signals) must pass between repeated entry or exit signals to reduce noise.
Momentum Filter:
Entries are prevented during sequences of three or more consecutively bullish candles, and exits are prevented during three or more consecutively bearish candles.
Z-Score Function
The Z-Score is calculated as:
Z = (Close - SMA(Close, N)) / STDEV(Close, N)
Where N is the base period selected by the user.
Input Parameters
Enable Smoothed Z-Score Strategy
Enables or disables the Z-Score strategy logic. When disabled, no trades are executed.
Z-Score Base Period
Defines the number of bars used to calculate the simple moving average and standard deviation for the Z-Score. This value affects how responsive the raw Z-Score is to price changes.
Short-Term Smoothing
Sets the smoothing window for the short-term Z-Score. Higher values produce smoother short-term signals, reducing sensitivity to short-term volatility.
Long-Term Smoothing
Sets the smoothing window for the long-term Z-Score, which acts as the reference line in the crossover logic.
Bars gap between identical signals
Minimum number of bars that must pass before another signal of the same type (entry or exit) is allowed. This helps reduce redundant or overly frequent signals.
Trade Visualization Table
A table positioned at the bottom-right displays live PnL for open trades:
Entry Price
Unrealized PnL %
Text colors adapt based on whether unrealized profit is positive, negative, or neutral.
Technical Notes
This strategy uses only close prices — no trend indicators or volume components are applied.
All calculations are based on simple moving averages and standard deviation over user-defined windows.
Designed as a minimal, isolated Z-Score engine without confirmation filters or multi-factor triggers.
LANZ Strategy 4.0 [Backtest]🔷 LANZ Strategy 4.0 — Strategy Execution Based on Confirmed Structure + Risk-Based SL/TP
LANZ Strategy 4.0 is the official backtesting engine for the LANZ Strategy 4.0 trading logic. It simulates real-time executions based on breakout of Strong/Weak Highs or Lows, using a consistent structural system with SL/TP dynamically calculated per trade. With integrated risk management and lot size logic, this script allows traders to validate LANZ Strategy 4.0 performance with real strategy metrics.
🧠 Core Components:
Confirmed Breakout Entries: Trades are executed only when price breaks the most recent structural level (Strong High or Strong Low), detected using swing pivots.
Dynamic SL and TP Logic: SL is placed below/above the breakout point with a customizable buffer. TP is defined using a fixed Risk-Reward (RR) ratio.
Capital-Based Risk Management: Lot size is calculated based on account equity, SL distance, and pip value (e.g. $10 per pip on XAUUSD).
Clean and Controlled Executions: Only one trade is active at a time. No new entries are allowed until the current position is closed.
📊 Visual Features:
Automatic plotting of Entry, SL, and TP levels.
Full control of swing sensitivity (swingLength) and SL buffer.
SL and TP lines extend visually for clarity of trade risk and reward zones.
⚙️ How It Works:
Detects pivots and classifies trend direction.
Waits for breakout above Strong High (BUY) or below Strong Low (SELL).
Calculates dynamic SL and TP based on buffer and RR.
Computes trade size automatically based on risk per trade %.
Executes entry and manages exits via strategy engine.
📝 Notes:
Ideal for evaluating the LANZ Strategy 4.0 logic over historical data.
Must be paired with the original indicator (LANZ Strategy 4.0) for live trading.
Best used on assets with clear structural behavior (gold, indices, FX).

Backtest engine developed by LANZ based on the official rules of LANZ Strategy 4.0. This script ensures visual and logical consistency between live charting and backtesting simulations.
MMTools - Backtester❖ Overview
Backtester is a script implemented as a strategy, featuring multiple conditions and tools to offer an alternative way to work with Catcher. It supports both backtesting and algorithmic trading, allowing you to evaluate the indicator's performance on historical data for any instrument using the Strategy Tester.
❖ Settings
⚙️ Custom Conditions and Signals
This section is intended to provide flexibility when working with Catcher. (If you intend to use Catcher alone, this section can be disregarded). You may combine the primary indicator (Catcher) with additional custom indicators to define entry and exit signals. Simply add the custom indicator to your chart, display it and then select its name in the corresponding dropdown menu. By default, the 'Close' option is selected, meaning custom conditions are disabled.
Operator 'OR': An entry order is activated when either your custom signal or the primary signal occurs.
Operator 'AND': An entry order is activated only when both the custom and primary signals occur simultaneously.
If both 'AND' and 'OR' operators are used, enabling the 'Only Primary' option will apply the 'AND' operator only to the primary indicator.
Custom Exit: Allows the strategy to close a position based on a custom signal, in addition to standard exit conditions. The first condition met will trigger the exit.
Note: The strategy executes orders at the open of the next bar after the custom condition is met.
⚙️ Confirmation
When enabled, the strategy will enter a position only if a specified number of signals occur within a defined lookback period.
⚙️ Exits
Two types of exit mechanisms are available for take-profit and stop-loss:
Timeout: Sets a maximum duration (in bars) that a trade can remain open. If this limit is exceeded, the strategy will close the position.
Percentage-Based: Exit positions based on a specified percentage move.
⚙️ Start Date
Specifies the starting point for the backtest.
⚙️ Plotting
The green line represents the take-profit level, while the red line indicates the stop-loss level. Plotting is limited to the last 250 bars.
⚙️ Other Settings
Remember to configure additional parameters under the “Properties” tab, including commissions, slippage, and pyramiding. Default commission is set at 0.05%.

LANZ Strategy 3.0 [Backtest]🔷 LANZ Strategy 3.0 — Asian Range Fibonacci Scalping Strategy
LANZ Strategy 3.0 is a precision-engineered backtesting tool tailored for intraday traders who rely on the Asian session range to determine directional bias. This strategy implements dynamic Fibonacci projections and strict time-window validation to simulate a clean and disciplined trading environment.
🧠 Core Components:
Asian Range Bias Definition: Direction is established between 01:15–02:15 a.m. NY time based on the candle’s close in relation to the midpoint of the Asian session range (18:00–01:15 NY).
Limit Order Execution: Only one trade is placed daily, using a limit order at the Asian range high (for sells) or low (for buys), between 01:15–08:00 a.m. NY.
Fibonacci-Based TP/SL:
Original Mode: TP = 2.25x range, SL = 0.75x range.
Optimized Mode: TP = 1.95x range, SL = 0.65x range.
No Trade After 08:00 NY: If the limit order is not executed before 08:00 a.m. NY, it is canceled.
Fallback Logic at 02:15 NY: If the market direction misaligns with the setup at 02:15 a.m., the system re-evaluates and can re-issue the order.
End-of-Day Closure: All positions are closed at 15:45 NY if still open.
📊 Backtest-Ready Design:
Entries and exits are executed using strategy.entry() and strategy.exit() functions.
Position size is fixed via capital risk allocation ($100 per trade by default).
Only one position can be active at a time, ensuring controlled risk.
📝 Notes:
This strategy is ideal for assets sensitive to the Asian/London session overlap, such as Forex pairs and indices.
Easily switch between Fibonacci versions using a single dropdown input.
Fully deterministic: all entries are based on pre-defined conditions and time constraints.

LANZ Strategy 2.0 [Backtest]🔷 LANZ Strategy 2.0 — Structural Breakout Logic with Dynamic Swing Protection
LANZ Strategy 2.0 is a precision-focused backtesting system built for intraday traders who rely on structural confirmations before the London session to guide directional bias. This tool uses smart swing detection, risk-defined position sizing, and strict time-based execution to simulate real trading conditions with clarity and control.
🧠 Core Components:
Structural Confirmation (Trend & BoS): Detects trend direction and break of structure (BoS) using a three-swing logic, aligning trade entries with valid structural movement.
Time-Based Execution: Trades are triggered exclusively at 02:00 a.m. New York time, ensuring disciplined and repeatable intraday testing.
Swing-Based SL Models: Traders can select between three stop-loss protection types:
First Swing: Most recent structural level
Second Swing: Prior level
Full Coverage: All recent swing levels + configurable pip buffer
Dynamic TP Calculation: Take-Profit is projected as a risk-based multiple (RR), fully adjustable via input.
Capital-Based Risk Management: Risk is defined as a percentage of a fixed account size (e.g., $100 per trade from $10,000), and lot size is automatically calculated based on SL distance.
Fallback Entry Logic: If structural breakout is present but trend is not confirmed, a secondary entry is triggered.
End-of-Session Management: Any open trades are automatically closed at 11:45 a.m. NY time, with optional manual labeling or review.
📊 Visual Features (Optional in Indicator Version):
(Note: Visuals apply to the indicator version of LANZ 2.0, not this backtest script)
Swing level labels (1st, 2nd) and dynamic SL/TP lines.
Real-time session coloring for clarity: Pre-London, Entry Window, and NY Close.
Outcome labels: +RR, -RR, or net % at close.
Auto-cleanup of previous drawings for a clean chart per session.
⚙️ How It Works:
Detects last trend and BoS using swing logic before 02:00 a.m. NY.
At 02:00 a.m., evaluates directional bias and executes BUY or SELL if confirmed.
Applies selected SL logic (1st, 2nd, or full swing protection).
Sets TP based on the RR multiplier.
Closes the trade either on SL, TP, or at 11:45 a.m. NY manually.
🔔 Alerts:
Time-of-day alert at 02:00 a.m. NY to monitor execution.
Can be extended to cover SL/TP triggers or new BoS events.
📝 Notes:
Designed for backtesting precision and discretionary decision-making.
Ideal for Forex pairs, indices, or assets active during the London session.
Fully customizable: session timing, swing logic, SL buffer, and RR.
