The TFM (Timeframe Multiplier) strategy is a PineScript trading bot that utilizes multiple timeframes to identify entry and exit points.
Inputs
1. tfm (Timeframe Multiplier): Multiplies the chart's timeframe to create a higher timeframe for analysis. 2. lns (Long and Short): Enables or disables short positions.
Logic
Calculations
1. chartTf: Gets the chart's timeframe in seconds. 2. tfTimes: Calculates the higher timeframe by multiplying chartTf with tfm. 3. MintickerClose and MaxtickerClose: Retrieve the minimum and maximum closing prices from the higher timeframe using request.security. - MintickerClose: Finds the lowest low when the higher timeframe's close is below its open. - MaxtickerClose: Finds the highest high when the higher timeframe's close is above its open.
Entries and Exits
1. Long Entry: When the current close price crosses above MaxtickerClose. 2. Short Entry (if lns is true): When the current close price crosses below MintickerClose. 3. Exit Long: When the short condition is met (if lns is false) or when the trade is manually closed.
Strategy
1. Attach the script to a chart. 2. Adjust tfm and lns inputs. 3. Monitor entries and exits.
Example Use Cases
1. Intraday trading with tfm = 2-5. 2. Swing trading with tfm = 10-30.
Tips
1. Experiment with different tfm values. 2. Use lns to control short positions. 3. Combine with other indicators for confirmation.
