BEST Mayer MultipleHello traders
I'm not a HODLer by any means. I know when to sell (or I think I know....) when an asset starts going against me too much.
Even if it's a "long-term" investment.
My mentor used to telling me this: "If a short-term trade becomes a long-term investment, then you're in for a hell of a ride".
I have no clue if Bitcoin/BTC will go back up or not - I don't even care because I'm an intraday trader.
What if BTC was actually a way to accumulate more fiat? Satoshi fooled us
I coded this Mayer Multiple according to the specifications below. By the way, I'm a big fan of Willy Woo. I've been monitoring all his work since I learned about crypto (10 minutes ago.... it's a joke come on)

Scaling
To respect the Mayer's multiple model, I recommend to select the Logarithmic scaling as shown below
imgur.com
What Mayer's model says
Using the reference below, the model says we're in the oversold zone. But, we can be in that zone for months/years...
When a model says an asset could bounce in a 1000-7000 USD range... well... I don't know how I would be able to perform optimally with that insight. This is very subjective and not a recommendation.

BEST MA Cross/MACD ScreenerHello traders
Continuing deeper and stronger with the screeners' educational serie one more time
I - Concept
This is the first flexible screener I'm releasing. Screener detecting a convergence whenever the MACD and MM cross are giving a signal in the same direction.
Those who know me from TradingView ... are aware that I'm big on convergences. I totally think that 1 indicator isn't enough - whatever the timeframe.
But building my own convergence detection systems has been fruitful for me
II - How did I set the screener
The visual signals are as follow:
- square: MACD + MA cross convergence.
- diamond: Only MACD is selected
- circle: Only MA cross is selected
Then the colors are:
- green when bullish
- red when bearish
Example
Below, I highlighted why we see diamonds on the top screener panel. This is because I only selected the MACD filter
Cool Hacks
Don't forget that you can add the same indicator multiple times on your chart :)
Wishing you all the BEST trading

BEST Trailing Stop StrategyHello traders
Here we go again.... with the second strategy snippet.
Reminder: the first snipper was a Trailing Profit strategy script
What's on the menu?
A trailing stop is designed to protect gains by enabling a trade to remain open and continue to profit as long as the price is moving in the investor's favor.
The order closes the trade if the price changes direction by a specified percentage or dollar amount.
Trigger me I'm famous
I developed many trading strategies in my career and often I've been asked to trigger a trailing-stop once a certain % move has been made.
On the screenshot below, the SL trigger is plotted in maroon.
Once the price goes past that level for the first time, I'll start trailing the trailing stop level.
In other words, when we see a price makes an interesting move in percentage value - we decide to trail the stop for at least not losing any more
All the BEST

Leverage Strategy and a few words on risk/opportunityHello traders,
I started this script as a joke for someone... finally appears it could be used for educational content
Let's talk about leverage and margin call
Margin Call
A margin call is the broker's demand that an investor deposit additional money or securities so that the account is brought up to the minimum value, known as the maintenance margin.
A margin call usually means that one or more of the securities held in the margin account has decreased in value below a certain point.
Leverage
A leverage is a system which allows the trader to open positions much larger than his own capital. ... “Leverage” usually refers to the ratio between the position value and the investment needed,
Strat
The strategy simulates long/short positions on a 4h high/low breakout based on the chart candle close.
The panel below shows the strategy equity curve. Activating the margin call option will show when the account would be margin called giving the settings
Casino
I'm not doing any financial recommendation here.
I made this strategy so that people include more risk management metrics into their strategy.
From the code, we see it's fairly easy to calculate a leveraged position size and a margin call flag - when that flag is hit, the system stops trading.
I simplified things to the extreme here but my point is that the leverage is a double-edge sword gift.
Assuming we always take the same position sizing, increasing the leverage speed up how fast a margin could be ..... called. (bad joke? feel free to tell me). Not saying it will, saying it introduces more risk by design.
Then one could say "I'll just turn off that stupid margin call option". And that's when someone starts backtesting with unrealistic market conditions.
Finally...
When I backtest I always assume the worst in every scenario possible (because I'm French), I always try to minimize the risk first (also because I'm French), keeping as close from 0 as possible (French again)
Then I add the "opportunity" component, looking to catch the maximum of opportunity while keeping the risk low.
It's like a Rubix cube puzzle - decreasing the risk is one side of the equation but whenever I try to catch more opportunity... my risks increases.
Then I update my risk... and now the opportunity decreases... (#wut #wen #simple)
Completely removing the risk from a trading strategy isn't something I wouldn't dare doing.
Trading involves risk. Being obsessed by decreasing the risk is what I do BEST :)
Dave
BEST Trailing Take Profit StrategyHello traders
Hope you enjoyed your weekend on my behalf. Was staying home working ... ^^
This is my first strategy educational post I'm doing ever
While I'm generally against posting strategies because it's very easy to fake performance numbers... I cannot prevent myself from sharing a few cool strategy snippets anyway.
So from now on, I'll be sharing a few strategies also - generally not to showcase performance but only to show what pinescript can do.
As once again strategy performance can be faked is so many ways... :)
What's on the menu?
We all know what a trailing-stop is. right? right? Ok... sharing the definition here :)
A trailing stop is designed to protect gains by enabling a trade to remain open and continue to profit as long as the price is moving in the investor's favor. The order closes the trade if the price changes direction by a specified percentage or dollar amount.
But...do you know what a trailing profit is?
Short definition : Well the same but with your profit limit order.
Long definition : A trailing profit is designed to increase your gains by enabling a trade to remain open and continue to profit as long as the price is moving in the investor's favor. The order closes the trade if the price hits the trailing profit level specified percentage or dollar amount.
Some trading strategies used both a trailing stop AND trailing profit. Not making any recommendation here - only sharing what's possible in the realm of trading and pinescripting
Trigger me I'm famous
I developed many trading strategies in my career and often I've been asked to trigger a trailing-stop or trailing-profit once a certain % move has been made.
I integrated here a Take Profit trigger - once hit, it will activate the trailing profit
On the screenshot below, the TP trigger is plotted in orange. Once the price goes past that level for the first time, I'll start trailing the profit level.
In other words, when we see a price makes an interesting move in percentage value - we decide to offset the profit as we concluded that once it reached such distance - then it leads often to more profit
Of course, using only a trailing profit without stop/trailing-stop/invalidation isn't smart and the surest way to kiss goodbye a trading capital and trading and your good mood
See you tomorrow for another strategy snippet

BEST Long Term Levels Breakout ScreenerHello traders
Continuing deeper and stronger with the screeners' educational serie one more time (#daft #punk #private #joke)
We don't have to wait for TradingView to allow screener based on custom indicator - we can build our own ^^
I - Long Terms concept
I had the idea from @scarff.
I think it's genius and I use this long terms level in my trading across all assets.
The screener, in particular, analyzes whenever the price breaks out a weekly/monthly/quarterly/yearly level on candle close .
Triggering events on candle close = we get rid of the REPAINTING = we remove the fake signals (in that case the fake breakouts).
The candle close is based on the close of the current chart => if the chart displays candlesticks on the weekly timeframe, then the considered close will be the weekly close.
If in daily timeframe, the close will be .............................. 4h (#wrong)..... kidding :) .............. DAILY obviously
II - How did I set the screener
The visual signals are as follow:
- square: breakout of a high/low weekly level
- circle: breakout of a high/low monthly level
- diamond: breakout of a high/low quarterly level
- flag: breakout of a high/low yearly level
- dash: none of the above
Then the colors are:
- green when bullish
- red when bearish
- orange/dash when none of the above
Cool Hacks
"But sir... what can we do with only 3 instruments for a screener?" I agree not much but...
As said previously... you can add multiple times the same indicator on a chart :)
Wishing you all the BEST trading and.... wait for it... BEST weekend

Syminfo.TypeHello traders
Earlier this week I discovered a new built-in variable called syminfo.type
What is it for?
This variable returns the type of the current symbol. Possible values are cfd, stock, futures, indices, forex, crypto, fund.
Cool bro but... should we care?
Well... we all should. Imagine you have a generic script and you want a different configuration whether you're trading FOREX or Crypto .
I designed a dummy example in that script that will preset the inputs according to the asset type from the chart.
Here I want 12/26/9 for forex and 20/50/50 for crypto - 30/60/90 otherwise
Quick caveat
It seems that for any crypto asset, syminfo.type returns "bitcoin". TradingView will fix it at some point but wanted to give you the heads-up regardless
Enjoy and all the BEST ^^

Ultimate EMA ScreenerHello traders
Very busy preparing a few stuff for Black Friday but wanted to remind that I still know Pinescript and how to step up my game :)
My master @RicardoSantos once again showed me how to push the pinescript limits one step/dimension further. Kudo also to my client (Judy) for this amazing idea.
I inspired myself from his script () to display multiple assets in the same panel - without breaking the chart scaling.
In that case, I'm comparing 5 EMAs relatively to each other and display:
- a square if they're stacked properly
- a triangle if two of them are stacked properly
- a dash otherwise
For those interested, the conditions are in the f_securitys function.
I posted in the past a few screeners using labels but we're limited to 50 labels per script. There isn't such limitation when using the plotshape function - giving us more complete screeners. #uhuuuu
I'll post a few more examples this week with different trading strategies/combinations. The possibilities here are (close to) limitless.
I'm using the security built-in function to call external assets (here different forex pairs) and we're limited to 40 security calls per script.
But nothing preventing us from duplicating the same script a few times and calling different assets each time :) If you'd like to display 10 forex pairs, you only need to add that script on your chart twice and select 5 pairs for the first panel, 5 other pairs for the second panel.
You're welcome <3

Algorithm Builder UNIVERSAL (m30)Hello traders 👋
I. 💎 SCRIPTS ACCESS AND TRIALS 💎
1. Every 3 weeks trial request access has to be done through my website .
2. My website URL is in this script signature at the very bottom (you'll have to scroll down a bit and going past the long description) and in my profile status available here : Daveatt
3. Many video tutorials explaining clearly how all our indicators work are available on your website > guides section.
4. You may also contact me directly for more information regarding the trading method included in the indicator or how to access it
2.1 Forewords
This indicator/trading framework is available only to our PREMIUM users.
We decided to call it "UNIVERSAL" because the tool gives very decent signals for STOCKS/PENNY STOCKS/FOREX/CRYPTO (USD & BTC pairing)/INDICES/COMMODITIES trading
(the asset classes that I'm not listing are not tested yet; though we should cover a wide range of tradable assets here)
This is a by-product of defining an algorithmic trading method... we were surprised ourselves those past few weeks while trading with it.
The entries displayed are most of the time amazing, and the invalidations allow to reduce the losses considerably (more wins and less losses => delighted trader)
A few examples below showing why it's "universal"
FOREX
INDICES
COMMODITIES
CRYPTO (BTC pairing)
The tool works in m30 timeframe but won't work with any other timeframe . Even if applied on a 30-minutes chart; we included higher timeframe indicators to enter more securely.
It includes :
- our proprietary method with fixed entries
- a hard exit system (built-in stop-loss)
- 🔔 Compatible with dynamic alerts 🔔
Dynamic alerts are bringing automated trading to a whole new level. The third-party solutions capturing TradingView alerts are able to use them.
- (optional) we let the users decide to use or not our built-in Trade Manager.
Regardless of the Trade Manager is used or not, one must mandatory exit, once a vertical hard exit bar appears.
- the Algorithmic Supports and Resistances used as safeguards and take profit zones.
Final words
We made it as simple as we could (to be honest it's a very simple system for the end-user) - even with several hundreds of calculations in the indicator.
Please hit me up for any question/feedback/comment

Multicolor Bollinger Bands - Market PhasesHi everyone
Hope you're all doing well 😘
Today I feel gracious and decided to give to the community. And giving not only an indicator but also a trading method
This trading method shows how a convergence based on moving averages is tremendous
Multicolour Bollinger Bands indicator that indicates market phases.
It plots on the price chart, thanks to different color zones between the bands, a breakdown of the different phases that the price operates during a trend.
The different zones are identified as follows:
- red color zone: trend is bearish, price is below the 200 periods moving average
- orange color zone: price operate a technical rebound below the 200 periods moving average
- yellow color zone: (phase 1 which indicate a new bearish cycle)
- light green zone: (phase 2 which indicate a new bullish cycle)
- dark green zone: trend is bullish, price is above the 200 periods moving average
- grey color zone: calm phase of price
- dark blue color zone: price is consolidating in either bullish or bearish trend
- light blue zones: price will revert to a new opposite trend (either long or short new trend)
By identifying clearly the different market phases with the multicolor Bollinger bands, the market entries by either a the beginning of a new trend or just after a rebound or a consolidating phase is easier to spot on.
Trade well and trade safe

[ALL-IN-ONE] Algorithmic S/R and Pivots and Long Term LevelsHello my trading padawans.
Hope you're all having a blast
Here's the invite-only script of the week. The ALL-IN-ONE saga continues with another script.
This time, I compiled a lot of algorithmic supports and resistances (S/R) - to be used with any indicators out there.
Those S/R are universal and work with all asset classes (FOREX, CRYPTO, INDICES, STOCKS, COMMODITIES, ...)
No one can predicts which S/R will stop a move - generally - the high timeframes S/R + the SMAs with a big input value - work as strong walls often forcing the candles to retrace a bit short-term.
At Today's post (October, 25th 2019 - 12 pm UTC-4), we see how useful they were, to identify how high BTC/USD could go before retracing.
I. 💎 SCRIPTS ACCESS 💎
1.🖐️ Access can only be requested through my website.
2.🖐️ My website URL is in this script signature at the very bottom (you'll have to scroll down a bit and going past the long description) and in my profile status available here : Daveatt
3.🖐️ A tutorial article/video will be provided on those sub mentioned links + Tradingview
4.🖐️ You obviously can contact me directly for more information
II. 🔎 ALL-IN-ONE Supports and Resistances 🔎
You can display the algorithmic S/R, and/or pivots, (not finished yet) and the long terms levels.
For the 3 types of S/R, I pre-selected those that I think are the most relevant and useful for everyone. Please let me know if you'd like me to add/remove some.
All those listed by default are important and provide a MAP for a trader.
They give great take profits zones, levels where it's better to wait for a pullback before entering.
2.1 👁️🗨️ S/R mode 👁️🗨️
Each type of S/R can be displayed or not.
2.2 📱 Mobile optimized display 📱
Preview : imgur.com I posted 2 images there
The script is made using the newest version of Pinescript, and displaying small labels for every support/resistance.
✨ This will come in handy for mobile users - they'll get nice looking labels displayed at the right of their chart.
Each S/R type have its own labels and label position. The script users can activate/deactivate them at will
Let's review quickly each one.
2.3 Algorithmic SMAs
I cherish, love, sometimes despite them, but they're very relevant for all asset classes. The tool displays as many relevant algorithmic and generic SMAs that I could think of.
The indicator lists about 18 different SMAs in multiple timeframes.
2.4 Pivots
7 pivots are displayed (S1/S2/S3/P/R1/R2/R3)
You can choose one of 4 pivot point types:
- Traditional
- Woodie
- Fibonacci
- Camarilla.
The fun doesn't stop here. You can also select a timeframe between Daily/Weekly/Monthly/Yearly for those pivots.
For INDICES, for example, I use a lot the daily Traditional Pivots.
2.5 Long Terms Levels
Display by default the highest/lowest weekly/monthly/quarterly/monthly levels.
The scripts user can chose to select the previous highest/lowest also.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have any doubts or questions, please hit me up directly or ask in the comments section of this script.
I'll never claim I have the best trading methodology or indicators.

Trade Manager/Pnl and Risk-Reward Panel (Plug&Play)Hello traders
The Trade Manager Standalone is finally back and with many more built-in features.
I. 💎 SCRIPTS ACCESS AND TRIALS 💎
1. No TRIAL is available for that script. Available only with one-time payment on my website .
2. My website URL is in this script signature at the very bottom (you'll have to scroll down a bit and going past the long description) and in my profile status available here : Daveatt
Due to the new scripts publishing house rules, I won't mention the URL here directly. As I value my partnership with TradingView very much, I prefer showing you the way for finding them :)
3. Many video tutorials explaining clearly how all our indicators work are available on your website > guides section.
4. You may also contact me directly for more information
II. 🔎 What is a Trade Manager?🔎
2.1 Concept
Standalone Trade Manager compatible with any indicator.
Once connected, whenever you'll update your Algorithm Builders or your indicator, the Trade Manager Stop-loss, take-profit levels, and analytics get updated automatically. #bold #statement #but #actually #true
2.2 How hard is it to update your indicator?
We'll send to our customers, a comprehensive and easy tutorial, to make any indicator compatible.
I guarantee you, it should take no more than 2 minutes per indicator. We made it easy, fun, and awesome. #bolder #statement
III. The amazing benefits of our🔌&🕹️ (Plug&Play) system
Hope you're ready to be impressed. Because, what I'm about to introduce, is my best-seller feature - and available across many of my indicators.
In TradingView, there is a feature called "Indicator on Indicator" meaning you can use an external indicator as a data source for another indicator.
I'm using that feature to connect any external indicator to our Trade Manager (Plug & Play) - hence the plug and play name. Please don't make it a plug and pray :) it's supposed to help you out, not to stress you even more
Let's assume you want to connect your RSI divergence to your Trade Manager.
I mentioned an RSI divergence but you may connect any oscillator (MACD, On balance volume, stochastic RSI, True Strenght index, and many more..) or non-oscillator (divergence, trendline break, higher highs/lower lows, candlesticks pattern, price action, harmonic patterns, ...) indicators.
THE SKY IS (or more likely your imagination) is the limit :)
Fear no more. The Plug&Play technology allows you to connect it and use it the backtest calculations.
This is not magic ✨, neither is sorcery, but certainly is way beyond the most awesome thing I've ever developed on TradingView (even across all brokers I know). #bold #statement #level #9000
TradingView is the best trading platform by far and I'm very grateful to offer my indicators on their website.
To connect your external indicator to ours, we're using a native TradingView feature, which is not available for all users.
It depends on your TradingView subscription plan ( More info here )
If you intend to use our Algorithm Plug&Play indicator, and/or our Backtest Plug&Play suites, then you must upgrade your TradingView account to enjoy those features.
We value our relationship with our customers seriously, and that's why we're warning you that a compatible TradingView account type is required - at least PRO+ or PREMIUM to add more than 1 Plug&Play indicator per account.
We go in-depth on our website why the Plug&Play is an untapped opportunity for many traders out there - URL available on my profile status and signature
IV. 🧰 Features 🧰
4.1 Stop-Loss Management
For what's following, let's assume that 2 is the stop-loss value you inserted in the indicator, and the Algorithm Builder gives a BUY signal.
This is NOT a recommendation at all, only an example to explain how this feature works.
- %Trailing: The Stop-Loss starts 2% away from the entry price - and will move up (because we're on a BUY trade as per our example) every time your trade will gain 2% profit
- Percentage: The Stop-Loss stays static 2% away from the entry price. There is no trailing here
- TP Trailing: This is a very awesome feature. The stop-loss is set 2% away when the trades start.
When the TP1 is hit, the stop-loss will be moved to the Entry price (also called breakeven).
When the TP2 is hit, the SL is moved to the previous TP1 position
- Fixed: Set the Stop-Loss at a fixed position (value should be in currency/units)
4.2 Take Profits Management
You can manage up to 2 take profit levels defined as a percentage or price value.
The expected input is in percentage value (for instance, setting the % target of TP1 to 2% will set the TP1 level 2% away from the entry price
4.3 Built-in Trade Manager
This is very likely the most loved utility script that we shared on TradingView.
It's included in your Algorithm Builder - Single Trend+, and will certainly help you immensely to analyze your charts and your trades.
We made sure that all the graphical elements on the chart will be updated in real-time whenever our user change anything on the indicator configuration.
You'll also be able to change the Trade Manager labels positions as you wish :)
4.4 Built-in Risk-to-Reward Panel
The good stuff doesn't stop here.
You'll notice that this sometimes green (when in a LONG), sometimes red (when in a SHORT) panel at the right of your chart.
It displays for the selected trading algorithmic (see 2.3.2 above), a ton of useful real-time analytics.
- Entry Price: the price when the Algorithm Builder will give a signal.
- The Trade PnL in percentage.
- Entry Stop Loss: Distance (in currency/units) between the selected stop-loss algorithm (percent, trailing, TP trailing, etc.) and the entry price.
- Entry TP1: Distance (in currency/units) between the entry price and the first take profit
- Entry TP2: Distance (in currency/units) between the entry price and the second take profit
- Risk/Reward TP1: Using the Stop-loss distance at entry, and Take Profit 1 at entry to compute the risk-to-reward ratio.
- Risk/Reward TP2: Using the Stop-loss distance at entry, and Take Profit 2 at entry to compute the risk-to-reward ratio.
For more details, please check the guides section of my website. Links are in my signature and profile status.
4.5 Built-in PnL real-time calculations
YES!!!! you read it correctly
The panel displays the risk-to-reward ratios but also the PnL (Profit and Loss in percentage value) of the current and last trade
V. 🔔 Alerts 🔔
We enabled the alerts on the:
1. Stop-Loss
2. Take Profit 1
3. Take Profit 2
VI. 🤖 Compatible with trading bots? 🤖
I'm very aware of all existing solutions out there allowing us to capture the TradingView alerts (Instabot, ProfitView, ...) and forwarding them to the brokers to automatize your trading.
You'll find a more detailed answer on our website.
If you have any doubt or question, please hit me up directly or ask in the comments section of this script.
I'll never claim I have the best trading methodology or the best indicators.
You only will judge and I'll appreciate all the questions and feedback you're sending my way.

4. You may also contact me directly for more information
II. 🔎 Algorithm Builder INDEX 🔎
2.1 INDEX trading
Let's start with a quick definition.
Index Trading is a type of trading of a group of stocks that make up the index. An Index is a measurement of the value of a section of the stock market. It is computed from the prices of selected stocks. It may also be referred to as a group of stock market publicly-listed uppermost businesses within a region. There are numerous Stock Market Indices within the world such as Dow Jones/SPX500 (USA), DAX (Germany), S&P/ASX 200 (Australia), FTSE100 (London), CAC 40 (France), AEX index (Amsterdam), IBEX 35 and more.
2.2 🔗 Which brokers are compatible? 🔗
⚠️⚠️Please note we mostly tested those signals with FXCM broker.
You may use a different broker but you have to make sure your broker has a similar price quote with at most 2/3 pips difference with FXCM.
We chose a broker where the spreads are among the lowest across the board.
Disclaimer : we're not affiliated in any way with them.
2.3 Concept
This indicator is born because we identified 2 types of traders :
1) Those who want to play with the indicators and discover a sound system by themselves.
That's why we made the Algorithm Builders (Singles/Multiples) + Backtest suites
2) Those who want to be guided way more and get signals that actually are very coherent AND without too much configuration on their end.
We're very aware that this point is a big claim and to prove how confident we are with our Algorithm Builder (INDEX), we're sharing on TradingView the signals given by the tool at the end of each day.
Our new PREMIUM customers automatically get a 3 weeks trial to try out all of our indicators and see themselves how they perform.
We could show you all the track records/backtests in the world (which could easily be faked with very optimistic setups or photoshop) - instead, we'd like YOU to try our products yourselves during your Trial - as this would be the best proof you could ever get that our indicators could help your trading.
III. 🔅 The INDEX Framework 🔅
ALL signals are displayed because they have to be taken (unless invalidated or risk too big) because we cannot know before what signal will lead to big profits versus get invalidated.
Those signals were made such as :
- in case of a risk of losing capital, we would lose a small amount thanks to the invalidations/hard exits.
- give only signals where the Risk-to-reward is decent enough and the risk is not disproportioned compared to the potential reward.
- NOT a guarantee at all but we made those signals such as they'll reward the traders with about 30/50 pips gains per trade.
Assuming the Algo INDEX gives 5 trades a day and you applied it on 3 indexes and 1 trade per index is a loss (= likely invalidated with a small loss - a Stop Loss could always happen but we designed it to prevent those from happening), then we're not aware of any other trading method/system beating that on index trading. Period.
And we're actively monitoring what the competition is doing on a daily basis always to stay ahead.
I'll explain below which market condition is riskier and how to act (which is better than usually reacting in trading or in life in general).
IV. 📜 The 10 Commandments 📜
1️⃣ You shall read our guide on our website and look at the video tutorial .
URL available on this script signature (you'll have to scroll down a bit and going past the long description) and in my profile status.
I give way more details there and won't give too much info here because it will make this script description way too long.
2️⃣ You shall follow the method religiously and trade like a “MACHINE” .
All graphical elements displayed on the chart by our indicator is useful (= to be used) and has been thought of, tested and traded with for years.
We know that adopting someone else's method is a huge leap of faith but it's required sometimes to ask our clients to trust us.
3️⃣ You must always consider the supports and resistances.
We know it could be surprising to see so many S/R displayed by the indicator but you'll have to trust us on the following claim: They're all important and must be considered before entering a trade or not
4️⃣ You must Not change the recommended chart timeframe.
Even if the chart timeframe is 1 minute, the sub-indicators used are very smoothed and based on indicators in 15/30/1h timeframes.
Entering in a 1 min chart allows to enter sooner and this combined with multi timeframes indicators allows to enter when a trend is confirmed.
5️⃣ You Must NOT trade anything else than indexes with this indicator.
As said before, we're working really hard on releasing a similar assisted trading framework for cryptocurrencies and other asset classes (FOREX, COMMODITIES, ...) and we aim to release the Algo Builder CRYPTO before the end of this year.
We started with the ALGO INDEX because it's our specialty, there is a ton of liquidity in that market and a lot of traders asked for it - we would say almost as close as the number of traders asking us for an ALGO CRYPTO framework.
6️⃣ You shall know the Leading Trend displayed on your chart
- Signal in the same direction of the leading trend: i.e. green signal on a green chart background and red signal on a red chart background.
- Signal given regardless of the leading trend direction.
In other words, green/red signal may be displayed on either background color (green/red)
In that scenario, we recommend waiting for a pullback near the EMA(20) and set your SL to breakeven quickly.
⚠️ To be clear; ALL signals should be taken but those against the trend could require a pullback as explained above.
7️⃣ You shall know your trading profile
Trend confirmation when entering against the leading trend: You'll also notice that the leading trend is real and strong.
Let's assume a trader enters in a LONG position/RED background and then the chart background turns GREEN at some point later on.
You'll often see that this "event" will confirm even more the trend direction and that's when the trend could very likely accelerate.
8️⃣ You will embrace the Hard Exits philosophy.
The framework won't work as well as expected without them.
It's even the most important "commandment" and it requires to be rigorous and throw away to the bin whatever we might think and feel.
Not exiting a signal when invalidated because you feel differently will not work.
9️⃣ You must know the Risk and Money Management basis.
Each market is unique and cannot possibly be traded the same way.
We're happy to provide a few guidelines for the INDEX market just below.
- Know your macro events with the daily economic calendar.
- Stay consistent with your position sizing
- Stay consistent with your trade management
🔟 You Shall Test and Make your Own Conclusions.
You have a FREE TRIAL period to test because we know that many traders aren't full-time traders and have a family/job/life outside trading.
So take your time to visually backtest the signals, trade with small positions, follow our rules and learn from your own experience.
While we keep saying "do this, do that", we're not dogmatic at all and we welcome any feedback you might have that could benefit the community and we'll likely integrate it if we see a good value in your idea.
You can submit an idea/feedback/comment by contacting me directly.
V. 🧰 Features 🧰
5.1 Supports and Resistances
The indicator displays the main algorithmic supports and resistances according to our trading method for INDEX.
5.2 Choose your favorite risk management algorithm
1/ Pre-defined and recommended mode for this INDEX framework - Algo S/R method using:
- the nearest algorithmic resistances for the take profit levels.
2/ Define your own Stop-loss and Take-profits level in real-time
Stop-Loss Management
For what's following, let's assume that 2 is the stop-loss value you inserted in the indicator, and the Algorithm Builder gives a BUY signal.
This is NOT a recommendation at all, only an example to explain how this feature works.
- %Trailing: The Stop-Loss starts 2% away from the entry price - and will move up (because we're on a BUY trade as per our example) every time your trade will gain 2% profit
- Percentage: The Stop-Loss stays static 2% away from the entry price. There is no trailing here
- TP Trailing: This is a very awesome feature. The stop-loss is set 2% away when the trades start.
When the TP1 is hit, the stop-loss will be moved to the Entry price (also called breakeven).
When the TP2 is hit, the SL is moved to the previous TP1 position
- Fixed: Set the Stop-Loss at a fixed position (value should be in currency/units)
Take Profits Management
You can manage up to 2 take profit levels defined as a percentage or price value.
The expected input is in percentage value (for instance, setting the % target of TP1 to 2% will set the TP1 level 2% away from the entry price
5.3 Built-in Trade Manager
This is very likely the most loved utility script that we shared on TradingView.
It's included in your Algorithm Builder - Single Trend+, and will certainly help you immensely to analyze your charts and your trades.
We made sure that all the graphical elements on the chart will be updated in real-time whenever our user change anything on the indicator configuration.
You'll also be able to change the Trade Manager labels positions as you wish :)
5.4 Built-in Risk-to-Reward Panel
The good stuff doesn't stop here.
You'll notice that this sometimes green (when in a LONG), sometimes red (when in a SHORT) panel at the right of your chart.
It displays for the selected trading algorithmic (see 2.3.2 above), a ton of useful real-time analytics.
- Entry Price: the price when the Algorithm Builder will give a signal.
- The Trade PnL in percentage.
- Entry Stop Loss: Distance (in currency/units) between the selected stop-loss algorithm (percent, trailing, TP trailing, etc.) and the entry price.
- Entry TP1: Distance (in currency/units) between the entry price and the first take profit
- Entry TP2: Distance (in currency/units) between the entry price and the second take profit
- Risk/Reward TP1: Using the Stop-loss distance at entry, and Take Profit 1 at entry to compute the risk-to-reward ratio.
- Risk/Reward TP2: Using the Stop-loss distance at entry, and Take Profit 2 at entry to compute the risk-to-reward ratio.
For more details, please check the guides section of my website. Links are in my signature and profile status.
5.5 Built-in PnL real-time calculations
YES!!!! you read it correctly
The panel displays the risk-to-reward ratios but also the PnL (Profit and Loss in percentage value) of the current and last trade
VI. 🔔 Alerts 🔔
We enabled the alerts on the:
1. Main BUY/SELL entries
3. Exit Signals such as stop-loss, take-profit, hard-exits
VII. 🤖 Compatible with trading bots? 🤖
I'm very aware of all existing solutions out there allowing us to capture the TradingView alerts (Instabot, ProfitView, ...) and forwarding them to the brokers to automatize your trading.
You'll find a more detailed answer on our website.
If you have any doubt or question, please hit me up directly or ask in the comments section of this script.
I'll never claim I have the best trading methodology or the best indicators.
You only will judge and I'll appreciate all the questions and feedback you're sending my way.
They help me a ton to develop indicators based on all the requests I received.
Kind regards,
Dave
Backtest PRO Suite+ (Plug & Play)Hello traders
I. SCRIPTS ACCESS AND TRIALS
1. For the trial request access, they have to be done through my website .
2. My website URL is in this script signature at the very bottom (you'll have to scroll down a bit and going past the long description) and in my profile status available here : Daveatt
Due to the new scripts publishing house rules, I won't mention the URL here directly. As I value my partnership with TradingView very much, I prefer showing you the way for finding them :)
3. Many video tutorials explaining clearly how all our indicators work are available on your website > guides section.
4. You may also contact me directly for more information
II. Backtest PRO Suite+ (Plug & Play)
2.1 Forewords
This indicator is available only to our PRO 12 months users. YES! I said indicator, and not strategy or backtest for an excellent reason.
We wanted to make it as generic as possible and allow anyone to connect any indicator of his/her choice in a few clicks only.
This is NOT possible (in TradingView) with a strategy/backtest, but only with an indicator - that's why we worked on recoding the whole backtest logic as an indicator.
The PRO edition does not handle any pyramiding/re-entry - as such enters only once per trend by design. This feature is reserved for our PREMIUM users.
2.2 🔎 Concept 🔎
This is an indicator that I saw on TradingView and was introduced by the @Pinecoders account on TradingView.
I inspired myself from his Backtest Engine to offer a version more adapted to my vision - The benefits of connecting yourself any indicator to our Backtest engine are amazing and huge.
The concept can't be more simple. Imagine using any indicator and connecting to a backtest system in a single click.
You may connect your Algorithm Builder also to this complete backtesting system in a single click.
What's better between paying thousands for a backtest, or connecting yourself your indicator to your backtest with a click?
That was a rhetoric question, but you can still share your answer with me if you want to :)
III. The amazing benefits of our🔌&🕹️ (Plug&Play) system
Issue #1 💲 A BACKTEST SYSTEM IS COSTLY 💲
Hiring a developer to code a custom indicator is costly. For a custom backtest it's even more expensive as those scripts are very often way more complicated.
Now imagine, that now that you see your idea live on a chart, you'll realize you'll have to finance another backtest system, as the one you have is not compatible with your new idea.
Solution #1 💲💲 YOU COULD BE SAVING SOME MONEY 💲💲
just because it won't be needed to hire someone else for each of your trading idea.
We will never guarantee your success on the market, but THIS I stand by it any day any hour.
You can connect any indicator or your choice by updating your indicator slightly and connecting it to our Backtest engine. We send the tutorial for doing it to all our customers.
Issue #2 🕔 IT'S TIME-CONSUMING 🕔
Even if someone is doing all the coding for you, it might require days/weeks depending on your overall trading strategy/idea.
Without even counting the time for you to test/validate the work done and all the back-and-forth to fix all the issues.
Solution #2 SAVING TIME MIGHT EQUATES TO SAVING MONEY : 🕔 = 💲💲💲
I wish it could be as easy as going from weeks of coding to "1 single click" :)
I did the heavy-lifting, but you'll have to make the last effort the cross the finishing line. I made it easy for you to play with it and find a configuration that makes sense to YOU and for your strategy/asset/timeframe
Issue #3 ❌ IT'S COMPLICATED ❌
Someone did a backtest code for you, but... you can't update it because you either :
- don't know anything in programming
- ... and don't have time to learn (most of us have a job/family/...life)
- The system you have is way too specific for one of your previous idea, but can't be updated easily for your next trading ideas. I see a lot of traders nodding right now thinking "that's soooooo true !!!!"
Solution #3 🎉 WE MADE IT EASY AND FUN 🎉
Our goal is to externalize the technical stuff that you don't want to take care of - so that you can finally focus on your trading and optimizing your ideas. #bold #statement
In case you're wondering, no we're not reading your mind :), but we're also traders who didn't know how to code before and had to hire external programmers to do the heavy work for us.
You can be sure that most of the frustrations (trading, technical, ...) you have/had, we had them also and that's why we created this backtest indicator.
III. 🔌&🕹️
Hope you're ready to be impressed. Because, what I'm about to introduce, is my best-seller feature - and available across many of my indicators.
In TradingView, there is a feature called "Indicator on Indicator" meaning you can use an external indicator as a data source for another indicator.
I'm using that feature to connect any external indicator to our Backtest PRO Suite+ (Plug & Play) - hence the plug and play name. Please don't make it a plug and pray :) it's supposed to help you out, not to stress you even more
Let's assume you want to connect your Algorithm Builder Single Trend+ to your Backtest PRO Suite+
I mentioned an Algorithm Builder but you may connect any oscillator (MACD, On balance volume, stochastic RSI, True Strenght index, and many more..) or non-oscillator (divergence, trendline break, higher highs/lower lows, candlesticks pattern, price action, harmonic patterns, ...) indicators.
THE SKY IS (or more likely your imagination) is the limit :)
Fear no more. The Plug&Play technology allows you to connect it and use it the backtest calculations.
This is not magic, neither is sorcery, but certainly is way beyond the most awesome thing I've ever developed on TradingView (even across all brokers I know). #bolder #statement
TradingView is the best trading platform by far and I'm very grateful to offer my indicators on their website.
To connect your external indicator to ours, we're using a native TradingView feature, which is not available for all users.
It depends on your TradingView subscription plan ( More info here )
If you intend to use our Algorithm Plug&Play indicator, and/or our Backtest Plug&Play suites, then you must upgrade your TradingView account to enjoy those features.
We value our relationship with our customers seriously, and that's why we're warning you that a compatible TradingView account type is required - at least PRO+ or PREMIUM to add more than 1 Plug&Play indicator per account.
We go in-depth on our website why the Plug&Play is an untapped opportunity for many traders out there - URL available on my profile status and signature
IV. 📊 Make it nice! 📊
Now we're getting right into the fun stuff.
Let's explore briefly each display option (symbolized by a 👁️🗨️ in the Backtest UI) :
- Color Traded Background : Color the chart background is green when in a BUY trade, in red when in a SELL trade. If the Backtest is not in a trade, then the background won't be colored.
- Show Entry/Exit Markers : Displays the entries (Enter Long/Enter Short), and exits (Exit Long/Exit Short) labels.
- Show Entry Level :Displays a blue level line to easily identify the entry price of a trade.
- Show Take Profit Level : Display a purple line to visualize where the Take Profit level is (we'll explain below how to set it up).
- Show In-Trade Stops : Display the stop-loss
V. Backtesting filters
A backtest should have some filters helping the traders testing a few hypotheses. Well.... we included a ton of them - even for the PRO version
Once again, thank you @Pinecoders for the help and support you gave me
5.1 ▄ █ Position sizing █ ▄
- 1. % of Equity: If selected, the position size used is the input to the right of 1. % of Equity.
Example: The trader starts with a capital of 100K. After a winning trade, your total capital is $103K - for the next trade the position size will be 3% of $103K
- 2. % of Capital: If selected, the position size used is the input to the right of 2. % of Capital.
In other words, the position size will always be the same position size as calculated on the initial capital.
Example: The trader starts with a capital of 100K. After a winning trade, your total capital is $103K - for the next trade the position size will be 5% of $100K. (As 100K is the initial capital used in our dummy example)
5.2⛔ Entry Stops and In-Trade Stops ⛔
We didn't reinvent the wheel here. Any good backtest should offer an entry stop-loss and an in-trade stop-loss.
Giving only here also an example among all the use cases. For instance, the trader sets a stop-loss 2% at the time of entry on your trade, but once the trade moves in the desired direction, the trader might want a trailing stop-loss using a 4% input.
Example: A trader goes LONG on only 1 "ABC" stock evaluated $10 per share.
1) The entry-stop loss will be 2% away so set at $8
2) A candle
3) The trailing stop will activate, and move the stop-loss from the entry stop-loss level (=$8) to $8.32 (=4% move up from $8) - and so on, and so forth for each time the price moves 4% up
The entry and in-trade stop losses can absolutely be identicals. There is no universal rule, and as always you know the drill - all depends on your backtest, and indicator configurations as a whole.
Last, but not the least, selecting an Entry stop-loss is mandatory, but the in-trade stop-loss is not. Up to you to decide if the in-trade SL is needed for your Backtest strategy.
5.3 ❌ Hard Exits ❌
We included the MACD hard exit indicator in the backtest - as we did also for the Algorithm Builders.
The hard exit (or invalidation) is a fundamental part of my trading method.
I explained numerous times on TradingView, our website, and social media channels why I "love" this concept so much, and how it saved my trading account numerous times from getting savagely wrecked by the market.
5.4 💲💲 Take Profit 💲💲
We only included 1 level of Take Profit so far. We'll work on adding at least one more soon.
You can set your Take Profit level based on either a:
1- Fixed value
2 - Percentage value
5.5 📆 Date Range Filtering 📆
If enabled, the backtest only uses the data between the starting and the ending dates of the defined range.
5.6 ❗❗ Fees and Slippage ❗❗
Too often completely ignored by many traders, the fees can eat gains out quickly/deepen one's capital faster than expected.
⚠️The fees vary between brokers, and asset traded - it could be recommended to check on your broker page what are the fees for the asset on your chart, and insert that percentage number.
Another cost ignored, even more, is the Slippage.
i.e. think about a Stop-Loss being hit, and we're so confused because we see on the chart that NEVER the price came even close to your SL level, but... it got hit anyway.
Yes! we know how frustrating it is, but that's the game we're playing, and trading should never be about blaming the game, but only blaming the players/traders/ourselves.
Blaming the game constantly is likely to not end with good performance results, but accounting for this "risk", and being able to quantify it is an incredible hedge. #bold #statement #level #10000
5.7 🔔 Alerts 🔔
By design, the alerts aren't available for strategy scripts. But this script is an... indicator so why should we not enjoy all the cards in our hands the fullest.
We enabled the alerts on those Backtest Entry/Exit signals. You're welcome :)
VI. 📝 Where are the backtest results? 📝
Answer: in the Data Window section of your TradingView
Now the cherry on the cake if we might say so. A backtest is cool, but visualizing results is actually the end goal here.
The Data Window is dynamic - it means whenever you'll mouseover at a give time on your chart, the data on that panel automatically updates.
Let's assume you're backtesting your idea between Sept 1st, 2019, and Oct 1st, 2019.
If your mouse cursor is located (or hovered) at a candle on Sept 14th, 2019 (data chosen randomly for this example), then the data displayed only includes the results between Sept 1st, and Sept 14th.
More info available on our website with a nice tutorial video. Data window metrics and filters explained on our website
Here's what the data window looks like: imgur.com
If you have any doubt or question, please hit me up directly or ask in the comments section of this script.
I'll never claim I have the best trading methodology or the best indicators.
You only will judge and I'll appreciate all the questions and feedback you're sending my way.
They help me a ton to develop indicators based on all the requests I received.
Kind regards,
Dave
Algorithm Builder - Multiple Trends+ (Plug & Play)Hello traders

II. Algorithm Builder - Multiple Trends
2.1 Forewords
The Multiple Trends+ is the update of the Multiple Trends and includes a built-in Trade Manager and PnL/Risk-Reward Panel
This indicator is available only to our PREMIUM users. Our PREMIUM indicators offer more trading analysis capabilities and opportunities.
A few words of caution: the Algorithm Builders - Multiple Trends are more advanced and as such, would require slightly more time to be mastered.
They're not that much difficult, but we understand that designing a trading system with 2 trends might be slightly more complicated - however, there is nothing to be scared of :).
The time spent to learn how to use our PREMIUM tools might be rewarded handsomely.
2.2 Concept
The Algorithm Builder - Multiple Trends is made to detect the convergence of many unrelated indicators and give a BUY or SELL signal whenever all the selected sub-indicators are converging in the same direction.
This is an upgrade of the PRO package giving access to the Algorithm Builder - Single Trend - designed to show 1 unique entry per trend - whereas the Multiple Trends offers re-entries in the same direction of the trend if the indicator detects good convergences to accumulate more positions.
III. Plug & Play
Hope you're ready to be impressed. Because, what I'm about to introduce, is my best-seller feature - and available across many of my indicators.
In TradingView, there is a feature called "Indicator on Indicator" meaning you can use an external indicator as a data source for another indicator.
I'm using that feature to connect any external indicator to our Algorithm Builder Multiple Trends+ Plug & Play (hence the plug and play name).
Let's assume we have an RSI divergence indicator - which is not part of the Algorithm Builder - but noticed that the convergence of an RSI divergence and a MACD gives strong signals.
I mentioned an RSI divergence, but you may connect any oscillator (MACD, On balance volume, stochastic RSI, True Strenght index, and many more..) or non-oscillator (divergence, trendline break, higher highs/lower lows, candlesticks pattern, price action, harmonic patterns, ...) indicators.
THE SKY IS (or more likely your imagination) is the limit :)
Fear no more. The Plug&Play technology allows you to connect it and use it in the convergence/confluence calculations.
Hence, whenever the MACD and RSI divergence will be in the same direction every time you'll get a convergence.
PS: Whereas it's only the first time only because this is a Single trend edition.
To connect your external indicator to ours, we're using a native TradingView feature, which is not available for all users.
It depends on your TradingView subscription plan ( More info here )
If you intend to use our Algorithm Plug&Play indicator, and/or our Backtest Plug&Play suites, then you must upgrade your TradingView account to enjoy those features.
We value our relationship with our customers seriously, and that's why we're warning upfront you that a compatible TradingView account type is required - at least PRO+ or PREMIUM to add more than 1 Plug&Play indicator per account.
We go in-depth on our website why the Plug&Play is an untapped opportunity for many traders out there - URL available on my profile status and signature
IV. Multiple Trends versus Single Trend
4.1 Multiple Trends benefits
A friend asked us recently Why using the Multiple Trends if we can use the Single Trend in a smaller timeframe, and get more entries that way?
We thought this was an excellent question, but the answer is obvious.
Using a Single Trend on a smaller timeframe to solely getting more entries will reduce the security of the given trades.
We designed the Algorithm Builders to take a trade in an identified trend but reducing the timeframe too much will mostly increase your risk - and might lead to capital loss.
By the way, this is a universal rule valid also for a big majority of indicators.
We're absolutely not saying that the Single Trend won't work on small timeframes because actually it really does. But, if you find out a great configuration for your Single Trend, and want to get more signals without increasing your risk - then the Multiple Trends would be a very viable option.
4.2 Main signal versus secondary signals
For the main and secondary trends, the color green symbolizes any identified "BUY" trend. And the color red symbolizes any identified "SELL" trend.
-The MAIN trend symbol is unique and symbolized by a triangle.
- The SECONDARY (could also be called re-entries) trends are multiple and symbolized by a diamond.
In the Algorithm Builder indicator settings, they're identified with the Additional keyword.
4.3 How the convergences are calculated
Extremely important: The diamonds (or re-entries) are displayed, as long as a triangle (or main/primary signal) is displayed.
For a trend change (buy to sell or sell to buy), the system waits for ALL selected re-entries sub-indicators , to give a convergence/confluence in the opposite direction.
For example, let's assume a BUY/green convergence based on 3 indicators. One or Two of them going turning red, won't be enough for a trend change.
But, if all of them turn red, then we'll see a red triangle - signaling the beginning of a new downtrend.
4.4 Why multiple entries?
Here are a few use cases :
1. The main use case why we made those Multiple Trends indicators: A trader got invalidated or stopped out on a trade, but wants a system to let hin/her jump back in with a minimum of security. (security depending on the configuration of the Algorithm Builder as a whole).
This is very frustrating to get in a trade, being stopped out, and finally, see the trade going in the expected direction.
Even more frustrating to jump back in at the end of a trend, and get stopped out again - we all agree on this.
2. You want to add more positions on your main trade as your Algo Builder identified a solid trend - this is a nice way to possibly maximize your gains.
Once again, we don't/won't guarantee any performance result (not because we don't believe in our tools, but for legal reason), all depends on the time spent reading our documentation and playing with the Algo Builder - as explained on our Tutorials.
More info available on our website. URL available in this script signature and on my profile status.
V. Why the Algorithm Builder Multiple Trends+ may help you
I worked with many traders during my career, and their feedback about trading is often pretty similar.
They all tried a lot of complicated indicators, losing their capital, and finally getting back to the basics (even to the basic indicators if I might say)
The art is finding a good combination of indicators and setting strict money/risk management rules.
Easy in concept, but more than 90+% of traders lose money on the markets... which teach us that trading is not only about drawing trendlines, or using cool indicators but finding ways to ease our psychology while trading.
5.1 The Algorithm Builder trading framework
The sub-indicators (full list on our website) weren't chosen randomly. They're based on a trading method we've developed over the last 6 years - while working with traders and other trading quants.
The Algo Builders are made to detect a convergence - and as such, will give a signal once a trend has been identified.
They're not made to detect reversal but have been designed to give a signal when all sub-indicators are either ALL bullish (green) or ALL bearish (red).
We provide a framework based on indicators we selected because they:
1. make sense to be used altogether
2. work on asset classes like INDEX, CRYPTO, STOCK OPTIONS, FOREX, COMMODITIES
3. it may expand your knowledge about what detecting a convergence with pre-selected indicator really means
5.2 Supports and Resistances
The indicator displays the main algorithmic supports and resistances according to our trading method.
I think they're relevant for all asset classes, but you're absolutely free to use any different supports/resistances logic if you want to.
I'm not against it because I know that pivots, Fibonacci levels, etc. may work very well also.
5.3 Choose your favorite risk management algorithm
1/ Pre-defined Algo S/R method using:
- a supertrend of the stop-loss
- the nearest algorithmic resistances for the take profit levels.
2/ Define your own Stop-loss and Take-profits level in real-time
Stop-Loss Management
For what's following, let's assume that 2 is the stop-loss value you inserted in the indicator, and the Algorithm Builder gives a BUY signal.
This is NOT a recommendation at all, only an example to explain how this feature works.
- %Trailing: The Stop-Loss starts 2% away from the entry price - and will move up (because we're on a BUY trade as per our example) every time your trade will gain 2% profit
- Percentage: The Stop-Loss stays static 2% away from the entry price. There is no trailing here
- TP Trailing: This is a very awesome feature. The stop-loss is set 2% away when the trades start.
When the TP1 is hit, the stop-loss will be moved to the Entry price (also called breakeven).
When the TP2 is hit, the SL is moved to the previous TP1 position
- Fixed: Set the Stop-Loss at a fixed position (value should be in currency/units)
Take Profits Management
You can manage up to 2 take profit levels defined as a percentage or price value.
The expected input is in percentage value (for instance, setting the % target of TP1 to 2% will set the TP1 level 2% away from the entry price
5.4 Built-in Trade Manager
This is very likely the most loved utility script that we shared on TradingView.
It's included in your Algorithm Builder - Single Trend+, and will certainly help you immensely to analyze your charts and your trades.
We made sure that all the graphical elements on the chart will be updated in real-time whenever our user change anything on the indicator configuration.
You'll also be able to change the Trade Manager labels positions as you wish :)
5.5 Built-in Risk-to-Reward Panel
The good stuff doesn't stop here.
You'll notice that this sometimes green (when in a LONG), sometimes red (when in a SHORT) panel at the right of your chart.
It displays for the selected trading algorithmic (see 2.3.2 above), a ton of useful real-time analytics.
- Entry Price: the price when the Algorithm Builder will give a signal.
- The Trade PnL in percentage.
- Entry Stop Loss: Distance (in currency/units) between the selected stop-loss algorithm (percent, trailing, TP trailing, etc.) and the entry price.
- Entry TP1: Distance (in currency/units) between the entry price and the first take profit
- Entry TP2: Distance (in currency/units) between the entry price and the second take profit
- Risk/Reward TP1: Using the Stop-loss distance at entry, and Take Profit 1 at entry to compute the risk-to-reward ratio.
- Risk/Reward TP2: Using the Stop-loss distance at entry, and Take Profit 2 at entry to compute the risk-to-reward ratio.
For more details, please check the guides section of my website. Links are in my signature and profile status.
5.6 Built-in PnL real-time calculations
YES!!!! you read it correctly
The panel displays the risk-to-reward ratios but also the PnL (Profit and Loss in percentage value) of the current and last trade
5.7 Hard Exits
Our trading method is known for the hard exits, also called invalidation.
The Single Trend+ includes a hard exit based on a MACD - settings are flexible and you may update them.
Having a stop-loss protecting your trade is a best practice - Protecting your stop-loss also from getting hit is incredible.
We prefer invalidate a few positions, even if sometimes we don't want to. Rather than the market hard exiting on us, and leaving with our hard-working money.
5.8 Alerts
Alerts are enabled for:
- BUY/SELL MAIN triangles signals
- BUY/SELL SECONDARY diamond signals
- Trade Manager alerts (Stop Loss, Take Profit 1, Take Profit 2)
- Hard Exits
VI. Pain points that we're trying to solve with our Algorithm Builders
Issue #1 There are many informations / indicators / strategies / backtests / noise. Finding the right ones is not a simple task.
Solution #1 A reliable system that removes the external noise is much needed in trading to stay "in the game".
Issue #2 Trading could be quite stressful - The majority doesn't lose in trading because technical analysis is hard, but because managing our psychology is one of the hardest things a human can do.
Solution #2 Some ways to reduce the "trading stress" could be: getting better quality signals and trading like a "machine". Forgetting about Twitter and trusting the system you designed.
Issue #3 Trading without strict rules and only based on what we feel, or what we think the market should do is the fastest way to kiss our money goodbye.
Only 1 indicator generally is not enough. Traders generally use a combination of several indicators but they're monitoring them individually.
It's normal then to feel exhausted at the end of the day ^^ (to say the least)... and exhaustion leads to mistakes which leads to..... (I'm sure you got it) ... capital loss.
Solution #3 As a trader, I needed a trading framework and a method. I offer our trading method but they're plenty others out there. We cannot claim obviously it's the best ever ....but let's say we're using those exact same
scripts ourselves for our trading. And this what we've been recommending our clients to trade with for the past years. Also, having a tool detecting the convergence of several indicators and giving 1 unique signal
for BUY/SELL position will save you a lot of time/energy, and perhaps might help you out getting better trading performance.
VII. Resolving a complex puzzle and having fun in the process
Trading has to stay a passion and not (only be) a source of intense stress.
The most successful traders I know are "trading geeks" - literally always looking for optimizing, searching for the best possible entries, setups, indicators, tools, etc.
For them, it's not even about the money anymore, but only about beating their previous performance.
Why are they doing this? Because it's fun
Might appears as a bold statement, but I guarantee that looking for setups is fun.
One of our users even told us, that it's like playing with "Legos" and we couldn't possibly agree more.
VIII. Designing a system that "makes sense"
Another bold statement now. Brace yourselves ladies and gentlemen
The Algorithm Builders allow to design trading systems quickly. What could takes days/weeks/months to find out... might be now within your reach in less than a few hours.
With a bit of practice, less than an hour might be enough per asset/timeframe to find a system that makes sense to you and adapted to your trading capital and psychology.
Assuming our users read our guides and are fully committed to learning a new way of trading - then we do guarantee you'll be able to design kick-ass trading systems that make sense.
"Making sense" doesn't mean at all it's guaranteed to win, it means you're the one defining the convergence of indicators, using your Algorithm Builder, and observe that most of the time - whenever there is a BUY signal, the candlesticks are going upwards - whenever there is a SELL signal, it's going downwards.
This is a necessary step to make real progress from a trading analyst perspective - and hopefully could lead to profits.
VIII. Algorithm Builder versus the main trader enemy(=psychology)
This indicator has the goal to help solving one of the MAIN issues encountered by traders.
Most of traders realize, they can't perform with only 1 indicator (or 1 price pattern or 1 price action) and need a combination of multiple indicators before getting in a trade.
Far from being a magic pill, if it could at least reduce the stress you have while trading, then we'll consider we made a great job - it's a technical "useless noise remover", and needs to be followed strictly.
Such trust in a trading system can only be built by testing your Algorithm Builder configuration on either:
1. a demo account
2. or a live account with small bids. And then, increasing progressively the bids if your capital increases progressively.
Though, you should still use your common sense. (for instance: if we get a BUY signal right on a big timeframe resistance we're hitting for the first time).
I'm aware this is a new way of trading but for many, and while we cannot foresee the future, neither predict performance, we believe it might save you a lot of time to find good signals.
My maximum level of happiness will be reached the day when our users will contact me and showing me setups being mine.
I'm sure that even I can learn from my users and, we can all learn from each other Algorithm Builder configuration
IX. What is a wrong or bad configuration?
Simply put. If you see that most of your signals react such as described below:
1. a buy triangle/diamond predicts, most of the time an upwards move
2. a sell triangle/diamond predicts, most of the time a downwards move
3. you estimated yourself the stop-loss needed to give enough room for your trades.
4. take profits based on algorithmic support and resistances or your own take profit method.
So what's a good Algorithm Builder configuration? A configuration you're happy with and makes sense.
A better Algorithm Builder setup is one used in demo or a live account w/ small bids for a few weeks, and you're consistent in your trading performance.
If you have any doubt or question, please hit me up directly or ask in the comments section of this script.
I'll never claim I have the best trading methodology or the best indicators. You only will be the judge, and I'll appreciate all the questions and feedback you're sending my way.
They help me a ton to develop indicators based on all the requests I received.
Kind regards,
Dave
Algorithm Builder - Multiple Trends+ (+ Trade Manager and Panel)Hello traders
I. SCRIPTS ACCESS AND TRIALS
1. For the trial request access, they have to be done through my website .
2. My website URL is in this script signature at the very bottom (you'll have to scroll down a bit and going past the long description) and in my profile status available here : Daveatt
Due to the new scripts publishing house rules, I won't mention the URL here directly. As I value my partnership with TradingView very much, I prefer showing you the way for finding them :)
3. You may also contact me directly for more information
II. Algorithm Builder - Multiple Trends
2.1 Forewords
The Multiple Trends+ is the update of the Multiple Trends and includes a built-in Trade Manager and PnL/Risk-Reward Panel
This indicator is available only to our PREMIUM users. Our PREMIUM indicators offer more trading analysis capabilities and opportunities.
A few words of caution: the Algorithm Builders - Multiple Trends are more advanced and as such, would require slightly more time to be mastered.
They're not that much difficult, but we understand that designing a trading system with 2 trends might be slightly more complicated - however, there is nothing to be scared of :).
The time spent to learn how to use our PREMIUM tools might be rewarded handsomely.
2.2 Concept
The Algorithm Builder - Multiple Trends is made to detect the convergence of many unrelated indicators and give a BUY or SELL signal whenever all the selected sub-indicators are converging in the same direction.
This is an upgrade of the PRO package giving access to the Algorithm Builder - Single Trend - designed to show 1 unique entry per trend - whereas the Multiple Trends offers re-entries in the same direction of the trend if the indicator detects good convergences to accumulate more positions.
III. Multiple Trends versus Single Trend
3.1 Multiple Trends benefits
A friend asked us recently Why using the Multiple Trends if we can use the Single Trend in a smaller timeframe, and get more entries that way?
We thought this was an excellent question, but the answer is obvious.
Using a Single Trend on a smaller timeframe to solely getting more entries will reduce the security of the given trades.
We designed the Algorithm Builders to take a trade in an identified trend but reducing the timeframe too much will mostly increase your risk - and might lead to capital loss.
By the way, this is a universal rule valid also for a big majority of indicators.
We're absolutely not saying that the Single Trend won't work on small timeframes because actually it really does. But, if you find out a great configuration for your Single Trend, and want to get more signals without increasing your risk - then the Multiple Trends would be a very viable option.
3.2 Main signal versus secondary signals
For the main and secondary trends, the color green symbolizes any identified "BUY" trend. And the color red symbolizes any identified "SELL" trend.
-The MAIN trend symbol is unique and symbolized by a triangle.
- The SECONDARY (could also be called re-entries) trends are multiple and symbolized by a diamond.
In the Algorithm Builder indicator settings, they're identified with the Additional keyword.
3.3 How the convergences are calculated
Extremely important: The diamonds (or re-entries) are displayed, as long as a triangle (or main/primary signal) is displayed.
For a trend change (buy to sell or sell to buy), the system waits for ALL selected re-entries sub-indicators , to give a convergence/confluence in the opposite direction.
For example, let's assume a BUY/green convergence based on 3 indicators. One or Two of them going turning red, won't be enough for a trend change.
But, if all of them turn red, then we'll see a red triangle - signaling the beginning of a new downtrend.
3.4 Why multiple entries?
Here are a few use cases :
1. The main use case why we made those Multiple Trends indicators: A trader got invalidated or stopped out on a trade, but wants a system to let hin/her jump back in with a minimum of security. (security depending on the configuration of the Algorithm Builder as a whole).
This is very frustrating to get in a trade, being stopped out, and finally, see the trade going in the expected direction.
Even more frustrating to jump back in at the end of a trend, and get stopped out again - we all agree on this.
2. You want to add more positions on your main trade as your Algo Builder identified a solid trend - this is a nice way to possibly maximize your gains.
Once again, we don't/won't guarantee any performance result (not because we don't believe in our tools, but for legal reason), all depends on the time spent reading our documentation and playing with the Algo Builder - as explained on our Tutorials.
More info available on our website. URL available in this script signature and on my profile status.
IV. Why the Algorithm Builder Multiple Trends+ may help you
I worked with many traders during my career, and their feedback about trading is often pretty similar.
They all tried a lot of complicated indicators, losing their capital, and finally getting back to the basics (even to the basic indicators if I might say)
The art is finding a good combination of indicators and setting strict money/risk management rules.
Easy in concept, but more than 90+% of traders lose money on the markets... which teach us that trading is not only about drawing trendlines, or using cool indicators but finding ways to ease our psychology while trading.
4.1 The Algorithm Builder trading framework
The sub-indicators (full list on our website) weren't chosen randomly. They're based on a trading method we've developed over the last 6 years - while working with traders and other trading quants.
The Algo Builders are made to detect a convergence - and as such, will give a signal once a trend has been identified.
They're not made to detect reversal but have been designed to give a signal when all sub-indicators are either ALL bullish (green) or ALL bearish (red).
We provide a framework based on indicators we selected because they:
1. make sense to be used altogether
2. work on asset classes like INDEX, CRYPTO, STOCK OPTIONS, FOREX, COMMODITIES
3. it may expand your knowledge about what detecting a convergence with pre-selected indicator really means
4.2 Supports and Resistances
The indicator displays the main algorithmic supports and resistances according to our trading method.
I think they're relevant for all asset classes, but you're absolutely free to use any different supports/resistances logic if you want to.
I'm not against it because I know that pivots, Fibonacci levels, etc. may work very well also.
4.3 Choose your favorite risk management algorithm
1/ Pre-defined Algo S/R method using:
- a supertrend of the stop-loss
- the nearest algorithmic resistances for the take profit levels.
2/ Define your own Stop-loss and Take-profits level in real-time
Stop-Loss Management
For what's following, let's assume that 2 is the stop-loss value you inserted in the indicator, and the Algorithm Builder gives a BUY signal.
This is NOT a recommendation at all, only an example to explain how this feature works.
- %Trailing: The Stop-Loss starts 2% away from the entry price - and will move up (because we're on a BUY trade as per our example) every time your trade will gain 2% profit
- Percentage: The Stop-Loss stays static 2% away from the entry price. There is no trailing here
- TP Trailing: This is a very awesome feature. The stop-loss is set 2% away when the trades start.
When the TP1 is hit, the stop-loss will be moved to the Entry price (also called breakeven).
When the TP2 is hit, the SL is moved to the previous TP1 position
- Fixed: Set the Stop-Loss at a fixed position (value should be in currency/units)
Take Profits Management
You can manage up to 2 take profit levels defined as a percentage or price value.
The expected input is in percentage value (for instance, setting the % target of TP1 to 2% will set the TP1 level 2% away from the entry price
4.4 Built-in Trade Manager

- Entry TP2: Distance (in currency/units) between the entry price and the second take profit
- Risk/Reward TP1: Using the Stop-loss distance at entry, and Take Profit 1 at entry to compute the risk-to-reward ratio.
- Risk/Reward TP2: Using the Stop-loss distance at entry, and Take Profit 2 at entry to compute the risk-to-reward ratio.

Algorithm Builder - Single Trend+ (Plug&Play)Hello traders
I. SCRIPTS ACCESS AND TRIALS

3. You may also contact me directly for more information
II. Algorithm Builder - Single Trend+ Plug&Play
2.1 Concept
That script is an upgrade of the Single Trend:
The Algorithm Builder - Single Trend+ (Plug & Play) is made to detect the convergence of many unrelated indicators, and give a BUY or SELL signal whenever all the selected sub-indicators are converging in the same direction.
The Single Trend+ (Plug & Play) gives one single entry per identified trend - unlike the Multiple Trends editions (also available on my scripts page) which may give more than 1 entry per trend.
The traders select the sub-indicators they want, and see in real-time the BUY and SELL triangles being updated.
III. Plug & Play
Hope you're ready to be impressed. Because, what I'm about to introduce, is my best-seller feature - and available across many of my indicators.
In TradingView, there is a feature called "Indicator on Indicator" meaning you can use an external indicator as a data source for another indicator.
I'm using that feature to connect any external indicator to our Algorithm Builder Single Trend+ Plug & Play (hence the plug and play name).
Let's assume you have your RSI divergence indicator - which is not part of the Algorithm Builder - but noticed that the convergence of an RSI divergence and a MACD gives strong signals.
I mentioned an RSI divergence, but you may connect any oscillator (MACD, On balance volume, stochastic RSI, True Strenght index, and many more..) or non-oscillator (divergence, trendline break, higher highs/lower lows, candlesticks pattern, price action, harmonic patterns, ...) indicators.
Any indicator that displays visual signals are eligible for this feature .... in other words.... all possible indicators. You're welcome :)
THE SKY IS (or more likely your imagination) is the limit :)
Fear no more. The Plug&Play technology allows you to connect it and use it in the convergence/confluence calculations.
Hence, whenever the MACD and RSI divergence will be in the same direction for the first time, you'll get a signal. For the first time only because this is a Single trend edition - you may enter multiple times using our Algorithm Builders - Multiple Trends editions.
To connect your external indicator to ours, we're using a native TradingView feature, which is not available for all users.
It depends on your TradingView subscription plan ( More info here )
If you intend to use our Algorithm Plug&Play indicator, and/or our Backtest Plug&Play suites, then you must upgrade your TradingView account to enjoy those features.
We value our relationship with our customers seriously, and that's why we're warning you that a compatible TradingView account type is required - at least PRO+ or PREMIUM to add more than 1 Plug&Play indicator per account.
We go in-depth on our website why the Plug&Play is an untapped opportunity for many traders out there - URL available on my profile status and signature

V. Pain points that we're trying to solve with our Algorithm Builders
Issue #1 There are many informations / indicators / strategies / backtests / noise. Finding the right ones is not a simple task.
Solution #1 A reliable system that removes the external noise is much needed in trading to stay "in the game".
Issue #2 Trading could be quite stressful - The majority doesn't lose in trading because technical analysis is hard, but because managing our psychology is one of the hardest things a human can do.
Solution #2 Some ways to reduce the "trading stress" could be: getting better quality signals and trading like a "machine". Forgetting about Twitter and trusting the system you designed.
Issue #3 Trading without strict rules and only based on what we feel, or what we think the market should do is the fastest way to kiss our money goodbye.
Only 1 indicator generally is not enough. Traders generally use a combination of several indicators but they're monitoring them individually.
It's normal then to feel exhausted at the end of the day ^^ (to say the least)... and exhaustion leads to mistakes which leads to..... (I'm sure you got it) ... capital loss.
Solution #3 As a trader, I needed a trading framework and a method. I offer our trading method but they're plenty others out there. We cannot claim obviously it's the best ever ....but let's say we're using those exact same
scripts ourselves for our trading. And this what we've been recommending our clients to trade with for the past years. Also, having a tool detecting the convergence of several indicators and giving 1 unique signal
for BUY/SELL position will save you a lot of time/energy, and perhaps might help you out getting better trading performance.
VI. Resolving a complex puzzle and having fun in the process
Trading has to stay a passion and not (only be) a source of intense stress.
The most successful traders I know are "trading geeks" - literally always looking for optimizing, searching for the best possible entries, setups, indicators, tools, etc.
For them, it's not even about the money anymore, but only about beating their previous performance.
Why are they doing this? Because it's fun
Might appears as a bold statement, but I guarantee that looking for setups is fun.
One of our users even told us, that it's like playing with "Legos" and we couldn't possibly agree more.
VII. Designing a system that "makes sense"
Another bold statement now. Brace yourselves ladies and gentlemen
The Algorithm Builders allow to design trading systems quickly. What could takes days/weeks/months to find out... might be now within your reach in less than a few hours.
With a bit of practice, less than an hour might be enough per asset/timeframe to find a system that makes sense to you and adapted to your trading capital and psychology.
Assuming our users read our guides and are fully committed to learning a new way of trading - then we do guarantee you'll be able to design kick-ass trading systems that make sense.
"Making sense" doesn't mean at all it's guaranteed to win, it means you're the one defining the convergence of indicators, using your Algorithm Builder, and observe that most of the time - whenever there is a BUY signal, the candlesticks are going upwards - whenever there is a SELL signal, it's going downwards.
This is a necessary step to make real progress from a trading analyst perspective - and hopefully could lead to profits.
VII. Algorithm Builder versus the main trader enemy(=psychology)
This indicator has the goal to help solving one of the MAIN issues encountered by traders.
Most of traders realize, they can't perform with only 1 indicator (or 1 price pattern or 1 price action) and need a combination of multiple indicators before getting in a trade.
Far from being a magic pill, if it could at least reduce the stress you have while trading, then we'll consider we made a great job - it's a technical "useless noise remover", and needs to be followed strictly.
Such trust in a trading system can only be built by testing your Algorithm Builder configuration on either:
1. a demo account
2. or a live account with small bids. And then, increasing progressively the bids if your capital increases progressively.
Though, you should still use your common sense. (for instance: if we get a BUY signal right on a big timeframe resistance we're hitting for the first time).
I'm aware this is a new way of trading but for many, and while we cannot foresee the future, neither predict performance, we believe it might save you a lot of time to find good signals.
My maximum level of happiness will be reached the day when our users will contact me and showing me setups being mine.
I'm sure that even I can learn from my users and, we can all learn from each other Algorithm Builder configuration
VIII. What is a wrong or bad configuration?
Simply put. If you see that most of your signals react such as described below:
1. a buy triangle predicts, most of the time an upwards move
2. a sell triangle predicts, most of the time a downwards move
3. you estimated yourself the stop-loss needed to give enough room for your trades.
4. take profits based on algorithmic support and resistances or your own take profit method.
So what's a good Algorithm Builder configuration? A configuration you're happy with and makes sense.
A better Algorithm Builder setup is one used in demo or a live account w/ small bids for a few weeks, and you're consistent in your trading performance.
If you have any doubt or question, please hit me up directly or ask in the comments section of this script.
I'll never claim I have the best trading methodology or the best indicators. You only will be the judge, and I'll appreciate all the questions and feedback you're sending my way.
They help me a ton to develop indicators based on all the requests I received.
Kind regards,
Dave
Algorithm Builder - Single Trend+ (MTF)Hello traders
I. SCRIPTS ACCESS AND TRIALS
1. For the trial request access, they have to be done through my website .
2. My website URL is in this script signature at the very bottom (you'll have to scroll down a bit and going past the long description) and in my profile status available here : Daveatt
Due to the new scripts publishing house rules, I won't mention the URL here directly. As I value my partnership with TradingView very much, I prefer showing you the way for finding them :)
3. You may also contact me directly for more information
II. Algorithm Builder - Single Trend+ (MTF)
2.1 Concept
MTF means Multi Timeframes - we all agree that saying MTF is nicer and easier than multi-timeframe.
That script is an upgrade of the Single Trend:
The Algorithm Builder - Single Trend+ (Multiple Timeframes/MTF) is made to detect the convergence of many unrelated indicators, and give a BUY or SELL signal whenever all the selected sub-indicators - each may be using a different timeframe - are converging in the same direction.
Now sit tight because what's going to be announced will be awesome. Are you ready for it?... :)
The MTF version allows to detect the convergence for indicators in different timeframes. Each indicator has its own timeframe - expanding, even more, your trading analysis capabilities.
In other words, you could, for instance, detects the convergence of an H1 MACD with an H2 Supertrend, and why not also adding an m30 Moving Averages cross in the mix.
The Single Trend+ MTF gives one single entry per identified trend - unlike the Multiple Trends editions (also available on my scripts page) which may give more than 1 entry per trend.
The traders select the sub-indicators they want, and see in real-time the BUY and SELL triangles being updated.
2.2 Why the Algorithm Builder Single Trend may help you
I worked with many traders during my career, and their feedback about trading is often pretty similar.
They all tried a lot of complicated indicators, losing their capital, and finally getting back to the basics (even to the basic indicators if I might say)
The art is finding a good combination of indicators and setting strict money/risk management rules.
Easy in concept, but more than 90+% of traders lose money on the markets... which teach us that trading is not only about drawing trendlines, or using cool indicators but finding ways to ease our psychology while trading.
2.3 The Algorithm Builder trading framework
The sub-indicators (full list on our website) weren't chosen randomly. They're based on a trading method we've developed over the last 6 years - while working with traders and other trading quants.
The Algo Builders are made to detect a convergence - and as such, will give a signal once a trend has been identified.
They're not made to detect reversal but have been designed to give a signal when all sub-indicators are either ALL bullish (green) or ALL bearish (red).
We provide a framework based on indicators we selected because they:
1. make sense to be used altogether
2. work on asset classes like INDEX, CRYPTO, STOCK OPTIONS, FOREX, COMMODITIES
3. it may expand your knowledge about what detecting a convergence with pre-selected indicator really means
2.3.1 Supports and Resistances
The indicator displays the main algorithmic supports and resistances according to our trading method.
I think they're relevant for all asset classes, but you're absolutely free to use any different supports/resistances logic if you want to.
I'm not against it because I know that pivots, Fibonacci levels, etc. may work very well also.
2.3.2 Choose your favorite risk management algorithm
1/ Pre-defined Algo S/R method using:
- a supertrend of the stop-loss
- the nearest algorithmic resistances for the take profit levels.
2/ Define your own Stop-loss and Take-profits level in real-time
Stop-Loss Management
For what's following, let's assume that 2 is the stop-loss value you inserted in the indicator, and the Algorithm Builder gives a BUY signal.
This is NOT a recommendation at all, only an example to explain how this feature works.
- %Trailing: The Stop-Loss starts 2% away from the entry price - and will move up (because we're on a BUY trade as per our example) every time your trade will gain 2% profit
- Percentage: The Stop-Loss stays static 2% away from the entry price. There is no trailing here
- TP Trailing: This is a very awesome feature. The stop-loss is set 2% away when the trades start.
When the TP1 is hit, the stop-loss will be moved to the Entry price (also called breakeven).
When the TP2 is hit, the SL is moved to the previous TP1 position
- Fixed: Set the Stop-Loss at a fixed position (value should be in currency/units)
Take Profits Management
You can manage up to 2 take profit levels defined as a percentage or price value.
The expected input is in percentage value (for instance, setting the % target of TP1 to 2% will set the TP1 level 2% away from the entry price
2.3.3 Built-in Trade Manager
This is very likely the most loved utility script that we shared on TradingView.
It's included in your Algorithm Builder - Single Trend+, and will certainly help you immensely to analyze your charts and your trades.
We made sure that all the graphical elements on the chart will be updated in real-time whenever our user change anything on the indicator configuration.
You'll also be able to change the Trade Manager labels positions as you wish :)
2.3.4 Built-in Risk-to-Reward Panel
The good stuff doesn't stop here.
You'll notice that this sometimes green (when in a LONG), sometimes red (when in a SHORT) panel at the right of your chart.
It displays for the selected trading algorithmic (see 2.3.2 above), a ton of useful real-time analytics.
- Entry Price: the price when the Algorithm Builder will give a signal.
- The Trade PnL in percentage.
- Entry Stop Loss: Distance (in currency/units) between the selected stop-loss algorithm (percent, trailing, TP trailing, etc.) and the entry price.
- Entry TP1: Distance (in currency/units) between the entry price and the first take profit
- Entry TP2: Distance (in currency/units) between the entry price and the second take profit
- Risk/Reward TP1: Using the Stop-loss distance at entry, and Take Profit 1 at entry to compute the risk-to-reward ratio.
- Risk/Reward TP2: Using the Stop-loss distance at entry, and Take Profit 2 at entry to compute the risk-to-reward ratio.
For more details, please check the guides section of my website. Links are in my signature and profile status.
2.3.5 Hard Exits
Our trading method is known for the hard exits, also called invalidation.
The Single Trend+ includes a hard exit based on a MACD - settings are flexible and you may update them.
Having a stop-loss protecting your trade is a best practice - Protecting your stop-loss also from getting hit is incredible.
We prefer invalidate a few positions, even if sometimes we don't want to. Rather than the market hard exiting on us, and leaving with our hard-working money.
2.3.6 Alerts
Alerts are enabled for:
- BUY/SELL triangles signals
- Trade Manager (SL, TP1, TP2)
- Hard Exits
III. Pain points that we're trying to solve with our Algorithm Builders
Issue #1 There are many informations / indicators / strategies / backtests / noise. Finding the right ones is not a simple task.
Solution #1 A reliable system that removes the external noise is much needed in trading to stay "in the game".

Any MA bands (TMA bands V2)Hi everyone
Website will be opening very shortly :) Sorting out the last details and we're so excited to finally roll-out our different Algorithm Builders for you guys
Forewords
This present script is an evolution of the TMA bands . I would never have expected that script to become so popular to be honest
This is not only a study or idea but a really proven method and I'm glad that many of you are using it already. But please, whenever you see a new script out there, even if it looks cool and promising, please test it on a demo account for a week or on a LIVE account but with tiny amounts every time.
Many times, what you see on the chart is not what will happen in reality. I know that most of you will agree and I know exactly why we see this behavior... I'll give more details in a later post
I have plenty of methods like that one and I'll detail them on my website (and a bit on TradingView) starting next month
TMA bands on steroids
Someone asked me privately to make a generic version of the TMA bands and make it compatible with other standards Moving Average types. That's it for the specifications really as I didn't do much than re-using some piece of my own code
Suggested (but not mandatory) methodology
1) The Take Profit 1 is the middle line, Take Profit 2 is the opposite band.
2) Once the TP1 is hit, set your Stop Loss to breakeven
3) Once the TP2 is hit, if you still want to stay in the trade, set your Stop Loss to the TP1
It will be a powerful tool in your arsenal for some scalp/intraday trades
Wishing you all of you a great and profitable day
PS
It's strictly forbidden to republish this script without my explicit approval. All my posts are copyrighted from now on
Obviously you can use but not republish and get the credit or even worse... some money from your own clients

Trend Direction Helper (ZigZag and S/R and HH/LL labels)Hey everyone
First of all, I'd like to thank Ricardo Santos, Backtest Rookies for the inspiration for this script.
Actually, most of it is coming from them and I only mixed them up (and added my secret sauce ^^). If some of you are not thinking about a trading secret sauce, please get serious for a moment :)
Some of you asked me how I do to set the trend direction. You all understood that if you get an UP label, then the price should go up and vice-versa for down.
But it's not so easy to define the good signals for each asset and each timeframe. I'm going to repeat what I said yesterday because ... well... that's what trading is about
So quoting myself here "The inputs set by default will have to be changed for your asset/timeframe and can't be generic for everything. You have to play with the inputs until the signals will make sense to you
The indicator/strategy with a unique configuration that you'll never check or update according to the market condition DOES NOT exit. "
BUT... a bit of patience and practice and you might do wonders.
The Method
I never realized until now but by connecting the higher highs/lower lows, I was drawing zigzag lines.
The Zig Zag Master is Ricardo Santos . Please give him a follow, he's awesome
For those who don't want to draw on the chart or (my preferred choice) need some inspiration to define your trend directions, this script is for YOU (and your family, your pet, your girlfriend/boyfriend, ...)
I think that each asset/timeframe chart has its own history. What worked in a post could work in the future.
In that regard, if a trend direction worked in the past, that's the parameter that I'll use to trade with it in a demo account and make sure it's relevant. If not then I will adjust
If you're trading with new indicators or a new method right away on your real trading account, you're gonna have a bad time imgflip.com
Lines EVERYWHERE
The script draws the classical horizontal pivots + the zig zag lines + the Higher Highs/Lower Lows label in just 1 script. I'm very excited to share a script (on which I coded 100 lines out of 500) but no one else did it
The horizontal pivots part are coming from Backtest Rookies
For more security, you can add a pullback on a moving average after getting a signal. Pullbacks are necessary to limit any eventual loss or maximize your gains by getting in the trend sooner.
I really give you a solid method and a great script in my opinion. 6 years of experience given away for FREE :p (when Dave will start thinking as a business man instead :O)
Does it repaint ?
Getting this question twice a day. You guys are obsessed with the repainting :)
Short answer, yes because it will calculate the pivots and zig zags whenever new higher highs/lower lows will be formed.
However, the trend direction code is based on the candle close so it shouldn't repaint. If it does, please let me know
See you all on Monday
Love you all
Dave
