Cyato Grid Basic Buy & Sell [BACKTEST]

2020年4月14日

Private indicator

This Grid bot strategy creates buy orders when the price goes down one level or more, and sell order when the price goes up one level or more.
To avoid useless trades, the lastest traded level is disabled until another level is crossed.

To create the grid, one upper level and one lower level is calculated. Those 2 levels are either given by the user using "MANUAL" mode or automatically calculated by an AI. The space between these two levels are then divided equally into several steps, creating the grid. The number of steps is chosen by the user, from 3 to 20.

HOW IT WORKS

This is the Backtest version meaning this is the one you should use with the Strategy Tester (more below).

Select either "MANUAL" or "AI" mode.
When using "MANUAL", you have to configure an upper level and a lower level.
When using "AI", the upper and lower level are automatically calculated from last 7 days high/low plus a 3% deviation. You can configure the timeframe and the deviation.


Select the grid quantity, from 3 to 20.

Example with 3:


Example with 10:


Example with 20:


You can choose between "Once Per Bar Close" or "Once Per Bar" alert type.
"Once Per Bar Close" will wait candle close to confirm a trade.
"Once Per Bar" will trigger a trade if the price crossed a step anytime inside a candle. Note that the backtest will still use bar close price in its calculation.

BACKTESTING

The strategy will buy 1 contract when a BUY signal appears and sell 1 contract when a SELL signal appears.
Here 1 contract = 1 BTC

The strategy can buy up to 20 contracts. Pyramiding is enabled.

The Backtest info panel is here to show how many trades are open in the backtest.


I know very well that a backtest has no value if several trades are left open. That is why I coded a feature to close all open trades at once on the last candle. This feature can be turned on and off.

2023年1月26日

リリースノート

New input 'order type' with two options 'Market' or 'Limit'.
Up until now the indicator was using market orders in the backtest and for the alerts it would simply trigger 'buy' or 'sell' when a step is crossed.

With the new 'Limit' orders option, the backtest is using limit orders.
And, in order to automate the strategy, I added a 'Start Date' input. 0n the bar of the start date, an alert is triggered which contains one limit order for each grid step, which can be used to automatically place the limit buys for steps below the price and limit sells for steps above the price.
Then, on each step cross, the indicator will trigger and alert to place an order on the previous step. That way the grid is permanently covered with limit orders.
The alerts can be connected to my website using webhooks and using the alert message syntax I already wrote in the inputs. All you have to do is replace your bot id in the message, and create the alert. It still only takes one alert slot to automate the whole strategy.

リリースノート

New feature "Take Profit":
- Can be turned on/off

Added take profit alert and updated alerts messages placeholders.
Updated open profit calculation in backtest panel.

2023年2月13日
