ATR GOD Strategy by TradeSmart (PineConnector-compatible)

30 มิ.ย. 2023

This is a highly-customizable trading strategy made by TradeSmart, focusing mainly on ATR-based indicators and filters. The strategy is mainly intended for trading forex, and has been optimized using the Deep Backtest feature on the 2018.01.01 - 2023.06.01 interval on the EUR/USD (FXCM) 15M chart, with a Slippage value of 3, and a Commission set to 0.00004 USD per contract. The strategy is also made compatible with PineConnector, to provide an easy option to automate the strategy using a connection to MetaTrader. See tooltips for details on how to set up the bot, and check out our website for a detailed guide with images on how to automate the strategy.

The strategy was implemented using the following logic:

Entry strategy:
A total of 4 Supertrend values can be used to determine the entry logic. There is option to set up all 4 Supertrend parameters individually, as well as their potential to be used as an entry signal/or a trend filter. Long/Short entry signals will be determined based on the selected potential Supertrend entry signals, and filtered based on them being in an uptrend/downtrend (also available for setup). Please use the provided tooltips for each setup to see every detail.

Exit strategy:
4 different types of Stop Losses are available: ATR-based/Candle Low/High Based/Percentage Based/Pip Based. Additionally, Force exiting can also be applied, where there is option to set up 4 custom sessions, and exits will happen after the session has closed.

Parameters of every indicator used in the strategy can be tuned in the strategy settings as follows:
Plot settings:

• Plot Signals: true by default, Show all Long and Short signals on the signal candle
  
• Plot SL/TP lines: false by default, Checking this option will result in the TP and SL lines to be plotted on the chart.
  

Supertrend 1-4:
All the parameters of the Supertrends can be set up here, as well as their individual role in the entry logic.
