Hello traders

This script is an upgraded version of that one below

https://www.tradingview.com/script/2lGyzYkC-Ultimate-Strategy-Template/

New features

- Upgraded to Pinescript version 5
- Added the exit SL/TP now in real-time
- Added text fields for the alerts - easier to send the commands to your trading bots

Step 1: Create your connector

Adapt your indicator with only 2 lines of code and then connect it to this strategy template.

For doing so:

1) Find in your indicator where are the conditions printing the long/buy and short/sell signals.
2) Create an additional plot as below

I'm giving an example with a Two moving averages cross.

Please replicate the same methodology for your indicator wether it's a MACD , ZigZag , Pivots , higher-highs, lower-lows or whatever indicator with clear buy and sell conditions.

//@version=5 indicator(title='Moving Average Cross', shorttitle='Moving Average Cross', overlay=true, precision=6, max_labels_count=500, max_lines_count=500) type_ma1 = input.string(title='MA1 type', defval='SMA', options=['RMA', 'SMA', 'EMA']) length_ma1 = input(10, title='[ALL but VWAP] MA1 length') type_ma2 = input.string(title='MA2 type', defval='SMA', options=['RMA', 'SMA', 'EMA']) length_ma2 = input(100, title='[ALL but VWAP] MA2 length') // MA f_ma(smoothing, src, length) => rma_1 = ta.rma(src, length) sma_1 = ta.sma(src, length) ema_1 = ta.ema(src, length) iff_1 = smoothing == 'EMA' ? ema_1 : src iff_2 = smoothing == 'SMA' ? sma_1 : iff_1 smoothing == 'RMA' ? rma_1 : iff_2 MA1 = f_ma(type_ma1, close, length_ma1) MA2 = f_ma(type_ma2, close, length_ma2) // buy and sell conditions buy = ta.crossover(MA1, MA2) sell = ta.crossunder(MA1, MA2) plot(MA1, color=color.new(color.green, 0), title='Plot MA1', linewidth=3) plot(MA2, color=color.new(color.red, 0), title='Plot MA2', linewidth=3) plotshape(buy, title='LONG SIGNAL', style=shape.circle, location=location.belowbar, color=color.new(color.green, 0), size=size.normal) plotshape(sell, title='SHORT SIGNAL', style=shape.circle, location=location.abovebar, color=color.new(color.red, 0), size=size.normal) /////////////////////////// SIGNAL FOR STRATEGY ///////////////////////// Signal = buy ? 1 : sell ? -1 : 0 plot(Signal, title='🔌Connector🔌', display = display.data_window)


Basically, I identified my buy, sell conditions in the code and added this at the bottom of my indicator code

Signal = buy ? 1 : sell ? -1 : 0 plot(Signal, title="🔌Connector🔌", transp=100)


Important Notes

🔥 The Strategy Template expects the value to be exactly 1 for the bullish signal, and -1 for the bearish signal

Now you can connect your indicator to the Strategy Template using the method below or that one

Step 2: Connect the connector

1) Add your updated indicator to a TradingView chart
2) Add the Strategy Template as well to the SAME chart
3) Open the Strategy Template settings and in the Data Source field select your 🔌Connector🔌 (which comes from your indicator)

From then, you should start seeing the signals and plenty of other stuff on your chart

🔥 Note that whenever you'll update your indicator values, the strategy statistics and visual on your chart will update in real-time

Settings

- Color Candles: Color the candles based on the trade state ( bullish , bearish , neutral)
- Close positions at market at the end of each session: useful for everything but cryptocurrencies
- Session time ranges: Take the signals from a starting time to an ending time
- Close Direction: Choose to close only the longs, shorts, or both
- Date Filter: Take the signals from a starting date to an ending date
- Set the maximum losing streak length with an input
- Set the maximum winning streak length with an input
- Set the maximum consecutive days with a loss
- Set the maximum drawdown (in % of strategy equity)
- Set the maximum intraday loss in percentage
- Limit the number of trades per day
- Limit the number of trades per week
- Stop-loss: None or Percentage or Trailing Stop Percentage or ATR - I'll add shortly multiple options for the trailing stop loss
- Take-Profit: None or Percentage or ATR - I'll add also a trailing take profit
- Risk-Reward based on ATR multiple for the Stop-Loss and Take-Profit

Special Thanks

Special thanks to @JosKodify as I borrowed a few risk management snippets from his website: kodify.net/tradingview-programming-articles/

Version 2
Fixed an issue with the TP1 logic and position sizes

Versionshinweise

Versionshinweise

⋅
Version 3

- Added a table displaying the opened trades data - works even with multiple opened trades
- the table is fully customisable: colors, location, text size, and much more....
- Added a sample script commented at the beginning of the script

Versionshinweise

⋅
Version 5
Fixed an issue with the TPs when pyramiding > 1 is enabled
It was recalculating the TPs for every new pyramiding signal
It's common usage that the TPs and SL are calculated at the first signal of the trend

Versionshinweise

⋅
Version 5.1

Fixed an issue with the SL and TPs (again)
Now it works as expected

Versionshinweise

⋅
Version 5.2

Added the ability to create alerts using the "alert() function call only mode" which aren't based on the backtest orders fills but on my custom conditions
Sometimes, the backtest fills the orders too late, especially during very quick price action events

Example: imgur.com/a/NiH0MeT

Versionshinweise

⋅
Version 6

- Added a Stop-Loss to Breakeven logic
- Added a custom optional exit logic closing closing the opened trade(s) after X bars

Versionshinweise

Fixed and Improved the trailing SL logic

Versionshinweise

⋅

Removed the TP2 logic as it prevented the exit SL/TP1 orders to get executed in real-time

Versionshinweise

Can somebody make video how to setup and use this strategy? I can't understand from text description how to use it.

Hi @Daveatt First of all great template. Love it. However, can you check on the take profit controls? When I use ATR as TP, there seems to be a bug as no matter how I change the ATR values, the TP seems to be the same?
Daveatt
⋅
@pluspips, I think that's due to the design of how the ATR works
The TP ATR has a tiny value regardless of the ATR length value and that's why we usually use a multiplier ("reward ratio") to update it

@Daveatt, thanks Dave for the explanation. Will try it out again.

@Daveatt, I know you said that TP ATR has a tiny value but should the TP1 and TP2 have the exact same value even when I used different ATR periods like 5 and 300 for TP1 and TP2?

Hi Dave,

I hope you're doing well, and I wanted to express my appreciation for your excellent work.

for the trailing Stop I think there is an issue with following the price for example my case was a long trade , when the price is below the enter I detect that the TL adjusting not based on the high , like is adding more in percentages sometimes ,

so , I've made some changes to ensure that the trailing stop adjusts based on the high for long trades and the low for short trades:

"""
signal_candle = (bull) or (bear)

if signal_candle[1]
MaxReached := strategy.position_size > 0 ? high : low

MaxReached := strategy.position_size > 0
? math.max(MaxReached, high)
: strategy.position_size < 0 ? math.min(MaxReached, low) : na

longTrailStopPrice := MaxReached * (1 - TrailPerc)
shortTrailStopPrice := MaxReached * (1 + TrailPerc)

"""

In this updated code, for long trades, it tracks the high price (high), and for short trades, it tracks the low price (low) to adjust the trailing stop accordingly.
