Hammers & Stars Strategy

Overview

This script trades basic hammer and shooting star candlestick patterns.

It's an extremely simple strategy with minimal filters, and according to my personal manual backtesting and automated trading results, performs best on the Daily chart on certain forex pairs.

It is intended to be traded on the forex markets but theoretically should work on all markets (especially if you optimize the settings).

The script also comes with complete AutoView automation for Oanda.

Make sure you've connected AutoView to TradingView and Oanda, then simply set an alert using the "alert() function calls only" condition and it will automatically execute trades based on whatever settings you've selected (only recommended for experienced traders - use at your own risk!)

If you're not sure how to set up AutoView, search "The Art of Trading AutoView Guide" on YouTube to find my detailed video guide.

Check out my website and YouTube channel for more information, scripts, resources and free Pine Script & trading lessons (link in my profile).

Best of luck with your trading!
