Trailing Stops/Choose a Day of the WeekThis would be my second ever published strategy. It is almost the same as my first ever published script . I've been working primarily on UGAZ and DGAZ .
This is basically a statistical trade. It buys every morning near market open (or by choosing a "time constraint"), then immediately places a trailing stop at a specified amount in ticks (if used on UGAZ a tick = $0.01, if used on NG at tick = $0.001). I've found between 2% and 3% works well for the trailing stop (ie. if UGAZ = $75, a 3% trailing stop = $2.25)
-----What is different from my first strategy?------
You can test the trailing stop strategy one 1 day of the week. Days of the week are assigned numbers. Sunday=1, Monday=2, Tuesday=3 and so on. Just choose a number that correlates to the day of the week you want to test. The Trailing stop may go past that day, that's a good thing if it's making money.
-- Go long/Short is just that, it will buy shares/contracts or short them.
-- Trades per day. This may not be a good choice, when left on "2", it will trade once per day. If set above 2 and there is time left for another trade, an order will enter on the open of the next candle. I'm am still working on ideas for this.
-- Time constraints. When you select this check box, the strategy will limit an entry to the time specified below the "Use Time Constraints" check box. An Exit order will still continue past this window of time until it is stopped out.

Due to decay, leveraged ETFs will give false results if the price gets far out of range. For example, your ETF is trading around $20 and you choose a 1 hour chart, it may back test back to a time before a reverse split. If the price gets to be too large, like $200, or $1200, the movement on the chart creates false indication of profit/loss.
--- Most important. ---
Do not trade off this strategy, you may lose lots of money. This is for educational use only.
Good luck

ATR Trailing Stop Bands Strategy [R] Originally based on a script by HPotter for an ATR Trailing Stop, which itself was based on an article by Sylvain Vervoort, but I adapted it to add Bands, to add extra optional Wick Protection, and have now made it a Strategy. It's not great for entries/exits, but as a Trailing Stop that can let winners ride, it's great.
Trailing Stops Only - For Leveraged ETFs (UGAZ/DGAZ)Looking for Statistical trades that work. This one seems to work on some Leveraged ETFs with a lot of noise like UGAZ/DGAZ. It can also be used on Futures Contracts, but be sure to change up the type of investment from % of equity to contracts. Also one point I'm trying to make with this strategy is the trades are best made in the morning around market open. When used with Contracts, be sure to make use of the time settings. It will limit buying between the hours set. Selling will occur at any time the trailing stop is triggered.
This Strategy is best used on 5min or 15min charts.

BitMex Trailing Stop StrategyThis script is designed for those who want to use BitMex's trailing stop. It's not meant to be used as entry exits, but rather to get an idea of how wide the trailing stop needs to be. I suggest you backtest with different values. The script can also be integrated into an existing strategy which does give entry/exits to act as its stop loss.
Simple Trailing Buy & Stop StrategyAllows you to backtest a simple percentage based trailing stop, with a trailing buy. Experiment with different percentages on different timeframes for different charts.
For BTCUSD, on daily 4.3% stop and 1.9% buy works well, while on 4hr a 1.5% stop and 1.9% buy works best.
Please comment with any other combos that work well for you on different markets or timeframes.
Hausky Simple MA Strategy EURUSD 1HHere is my simple Moving Average crossover strategy for EURUSD 1H
CamarillaStrategy -V1 - H4 and L4 breakout - exits addedExits added using trailing stops.
2.6 Profit Factor and 76% Profitable on SPY , 5M - I think it's a pretty good number for an automated strategy that uses Pivots. I don't think it's possible to add volume and day open price in relation to pivot levels -- that's what I do manually ..
Still trying to add EMA for exits.. it will increase profitability. You can play in pinescript with trailing stops entries..
