[Autoview][BackTest] Blank R0.13BThis is a fork of JustUncleL's
Dual MA Ribbons R0.13
It is now a blank template for making new strategies / alerts for autoview
The changes are as follows:
Removed actual algo
Establish functions for long Signal, long Close Signal and short Signal, short Close Signal to minimize the places code must be edited to update / replace algos
Make allow Long and allow short and invert trade directions independent options
Added support for alternate candle types
Added autoset backtest period feature, and optional coloring
Moved strategy calls in to functions so they can all be commented out or activated / disabled in a single block at the top of the script
Template
Default Strategy Inputs (Forex / Crypto)The code in this post contains a set of default strategy inputs I use in new projects / backtests in Tradingview.
Full code commentary is available on the Backtest-Rookies website. To comply with house rules, I cannot post the direct link here.
Features
Trade Direction: So that you can limit the strategy for long only, short only or trade in both directions. It is important to note that when you select “Long Only”, you will still see Short signals on the chart. However, they are only used to close a position rather than reverse it. This is the default behaviour for strategies. The same applies to “Short Only”.
Date Ranges: So that you can isolate backtesting to specific periods of interest such as bull or bear markets.
Sessions: So you can easily get an idea of the expected results during your own session. You may also notice that performance of the strategy varies depending on which session it is deployed in.
Some example stop losses: It is not an exhaustive list but it should be enough to provide some inspiration for different types of stops that you can experiment with.
Happy Scripting. I hope the community finds it useful.
