3Commas DCA (asap)3Commas DCA (asap) – Automated DCA Bot Strategy
This strategy replicates the DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) "asap" logic from 3Commas, supporting both LONG and SHORT operations.
How it works:
Opens the first market order (Base Order) when there is no active deal.
Immediately places a series of Safety Orders (limit orders) at fixed price deviations from the base entry price. The number and size of safety orders can be configured.
When price moves against the position, safety orders are executed, averaging the entry price.
The deal is closed only when the total profit across all open trades reaches or exceeds the configured Target Profit (in %), at which point all positions are closed and all unfilled safety orders are canceled.
The process repeats for the next deals.
Features:
Configurable base order size, safety order size, number of safety orders, safety order volume scale, and price deviation.
Supports both LONG and SHORT modes.
Backtest range selection for strategy evaluation.
Visual labels, position lines, and detailed statistics table for analysis.
Inputs:
Base order size, safety order size, safety order count, safety order scale, price deviation, target profit, trading fee, price range filters, and more.
Best Practice:
Test thoroughly with historical data before using live. Adjust risk, volume, and parameters to suit your exchange and asset.
Risk Warning:
DCA strategies can amplify losses in trending markets. Use with caution and proper risk management.

Martingale + Grid DCA Strategy [YinYangAlgorithms]This Strategy focuses on strategically Martingaling when the price has dropped X% from your current Dollar Cost Average (DCA). When it does Martingale, it will create a Purchase Grid around this location to likewise attempt to get you a better DCA. Likewise following the Martingale strategy, it will sell when your Profit has hit your target of X%.
Martingale may be an effective way to lower your DCA. This is due to the fact that if your initial purchase; or in our case, initial Grid, all went through and the price kept going down afterwards, that you may purchase more to help lower your DCA even more. By doing so, you may bring your DCA down and effectively may make it easier and quicker to reach your target profit %.
Grid trading may be an effective way of reducing risk and lowering your DCA as you are spreading your purchases out over multiple different locations. Likewise we offer the ability to ‘Stack Grids’. What this means, is that if a single bar was to go through 20 grids, the purchase amount would be 20x what each grid is valued at. This may help get you a lower DCA as rather than creating 20 purchase orders at each grid location, we create a single purchase order at the lowest grid location, but for 20x the amount.
By combining both Martingale and Grid DCA techniques we attempt to lower your DCA strategically until you have reached your target profit %.
Before we start, we just want to make it known that first off, this Strategy features 8% Commission Fees, you may change this in the Settings to better reflect the Commission Fees of your exchange. On a similar note, due to Commission Fees being one of the number one profit killers in fast swing trade strategies, this strategy doesn’t focus on low trades, but the ideology of it may result in low amounts of trades. Please keep in mind this is not a bad thing. Since it has the ability to ‘Stack Grid Purchases’ it may purchase more for less and result in more profit, less commission fees, and likewise less # of trades.
Tutorial:
In this example above, we have it set so we Martingale twice, and we use 100 grids between the upper and lower level of each martingale; for a total of 200 Grids. This strategy will take total capital (initial capital + net profit) and divide it by the amount of grids. This will result in the $ amount purchased per grid. For instance, say you started with $10,000 and you’ve made $2000 from this Strategy so far, your total capital is $12,000. If you likewise are implementing 200 grids within your Strategy, this will result in $12,000 / 200 = $60 per grid. However, please note, that the further down the grid / martingale is, the more volume it is able to purchase for $60.
The white line within the Strategy represents your DCA. As the Strategy makes purchases, this will continue to get lower as will your Target Profit price (Blue Line). When the Close goes above your Target Profit price, the Strategy will close all open positions and claim the profit. This profit is then reinvested back into the Strategy, which may exponentially help the Strategy become more profitable the longer it runs for.
In the example above, we’ve zoomed in on the first example. In this we want to focus on how the Strategy got back into the trades shortly after it sold. Currently within the Settings we have it set so our entry is when the Lowest with a length of 3 is less than the previous Lowest with a length of 3. This is 100% customizable and there are multiple different entry options you can choose from and customize such as:
EMA 7 Crossover EMA 21
EMA 7 Crossunder EMA 21
RSI 14 Crossover RSI MA 14
RSI 14 Crossunder RSI MA 14
MFI 14 Crossover MFI MA 14
MFI 14 Crossunder MFI MA 14
Lowest of X Length < Previous Lowest of X Length
Highest of X Length > Previous Highest of X Length
All of these entry options may be tailored to be checked for on a different Time Frame than the one you are currently using the Strategy on. For instance, you may be running the Strategy on the 15 minute Time Frame yet decide you want the RSI to cross over the RSI MA on the 1 Day to be a valid entry location.
Please keep in mind, this Strategy focuses on DCA, this means you may not want the initial purchase to be the best location. You may want to buy when others think it is a good time to sell. This is because there may be strong bearish momentum which drives the price down drastically and potentially getting you a good DCA before it corrects back up.
We will continue to add more Entry options as time goes on, and if you have any in mind please don’t hesitate to let us know.
Now, back to the example above, if we refer to the Yellow circle, you may see that the Lowest of a length of 3 was less than its previous lowest, this triggered the martingales to create their grids. Only a few bars later, the price went into the first grid and went a little lower than its midpoint (Yellow line). This caused about 60% of the first grid to be purchased. Shortly after the price went even lower into this grid and caused the entire first martingale grid to be purchased. However, if you notice, the white line (your DCA) is lower than the midpoint of the first grid. This is due to the fact that we have ‘Stack Grid Purchases’ enabled. This allows the Strategy to purchase more when a single bar crosses through multiple grid locations; and effectively may lower your average more than if it simply executed a purchase order at each grid.
Still looking at the same location within our next example, if we simply increase the Martingale amount from 2 to 3 we can see something strange happens. What happened is our Target Profit price was reached, then our entry condition was met, which caused all of the martingale grids to be formed; however, the price continued to increase afterwards. This may not be a good thing, sure the price could correct back down to these grid locations, but what if it didn’t and it just kept increasing? This would result in this Strategy being stuck and unable to make any trades. For this reason we have implemented a Failsafe in the Settings called ‘Reset Grids if no purchase happens after X bars’.
We have enabled our Failsafe ‘Reset Grids if no purchase happens after X bars’ in this example above. By default it is set to 100 bars, but you can change this to whatever works best for you. If you set it to 0, this Failsafe will be disabled and act like the example prior where it is possible to be stuck with no trades executing.
This Failsafe may be an important way to ensure the Strategy is able to make purchases, however it may also mean the Grids increase in price when it is used, and if a massive correction were to occur afterwards, you may lose out on potential profit.
This Strategy was designed with WebHooks in mind. WebHooks allow you to send signals from the Strategy to your exchange. Simply set up a Custom TradingView Bot within the OKX exchange or 3Commas platform (which has your exchange API), enter the data required from the bot into the settings here, select your bot type in ‘Webhook Alert Type’, and then set up the alert. After that you’re good to go and this Strategy will fully automate all of its trades within your exchange for you. You need to format the Alert a certain way for it to work, which we will go over in the next example.
Add an alert for this Strategy and simply modify the alert message so all it says is:
{{strategy.order.alert_message}}
Likewise change from the Alert ‘Settings’ to Alert ‘Notifications’ at the top of the alert popup. Within the Notifications we will enable ‘Webhook URL’ and then we will pass the URL we are sending the Webhook to. In this example we’ve put OKX exchange Webhook URL, however if you are using 3Commas you’ll need to change this to theirs.
OKX Webhook URL:
www.okx.com
3Commas Webhook URL:
app.3commas.io
Make sure you click ‘Create’ to actually create this alert. After that you’re all set! There are many Tutorials videos you can watch if you are still a little confused as to how Webhook trading works.
Due to the nature of this Strategy and how it is designed to work, it has the ability to never sell unless there it will make profit. However, because of this it also may be stuck waiting in trades for quite a long period of time (usually a few months); especially when your Target Profit % is 15% like in the example above. However, this example above may be a good indication that it may maintain profitability for a long period of time; considering this ‘Deep Backtest’ is from 2017-8-17.
We will conclude the tutorial here. Hopefully you understand how this Strategy has the potential to make calculated and strategic DCA Grid purchases for you and then based on a traditional Martingale fashion, bulk sell at the desired Target Profit Percent.
Settings:
Purchase Settings:
Only Purchase if its lower than DCA: Generally speaking, we want to lower our Average, and therefore it makes sense to only buy when the close is lower than our current DCA and a Purchase Condition is met.
Purchase Condition: When creating the initial buy location you must remember, you want to Buy when others are Fearful and Sell when others are Greedy. Therefore, many of the Buy conditions involve times many would likewise Sell. This is one of the bonuses to using a Strategy like this as it will attempt to get you a good entry location at times people are selling.
Lower / Upper Change Length: This Lower / Upper Length is only used if the Purchase Condition is set to 'Lower Changed' or 'Upper Changed'. This is when the Lowest or Highest of this length changes. Lowest would become lower or Highest would become higher.
Purchase Resolution: Purchase Resolution is the Time Frame that the Purchase Condition is calculated on. For instance, you may only want to start a new Purchase Order when the RSI Crosses RSI MA on the 1 Day, but yet you run this Strategy on the 15 minutes.
Sell Settings:
Trailing Take Profit: Trailing Take Profit is where once your Target Profit Percent has been hit, this will trail up to attempt to claim even more profit.
Target Profit Percent: What is your Target Profit Percent? The Strategy will close all positions when the close price is greater than your DCA * this Target Profit Percent.
Grid Settings:
Stack Grid Purchases: If a close goes through multiple Buy Grids in one bar, should we amplify its purchase amount based on how many grids it went through?
Reset Grids if no purchase happens after X Bars: Set this to 0 if you never want to reset. This is very useful in case the price is very bullish and continues to increase after our Target Profit location is hit. What may happen is, Target Profit location is hit, then the Entry condition is met but the price just keeps increasing afterwards. We may not want to be sitting waiting for the price to drop, which may never happen. This is more of a failsafe if anything. You may set it very large, like 500+ if you only want to use it in extreme situations.
Grid % Less than Initial Purchase Price: How big should our Buy Grid be? For instance if we bought at 0.25 and this value is set to 20%, that means our Buy Grid spans from 0.2 - 0.25.
Grid Amounts: How many Grids should we create within our Buy location?
Martingale Settings:
Amount of Times 'Planned' to Martingale: The more Grids + the More Martingales = the less $ spent per grid, however the less risk. Remember it may be better to be right and take your time than risk too much and be stuck too long.
Martingale Percent: When the current price is this percent less than our DCA, lets create another Buy Grid so we can lower our average more. This will make our profit location less.
Webhook Alerts:
Webhook Alert Type: How should we format this Alert? 3Commas and OKX take their alerts differently, so please select the proper one or your webhooks won't work.
3Commas Webhook Alerts:
3Commas Bot ID: The 3Commas Bot ID is needed so we know which BOT ID we are sending this webhook too.
3Commas Email Token: The 3Commas Email Token is needed for your webhooks to work properly as it is linked to your account.
OKX Webhook Alerts:
OKX Signal Token: This Signal Token is attached to your OKX bot and will be used to access it within OKX.

DCA EMA Simple Bot [Starbots]
This is a simple idea of DCA trading on EMA crosses. Strategy is not repainting.
The difference between this and any other strategy is, that this script allows you to preset DCA buy triggers at desired levels and customize each DCA order size independently. Alerts are working, this strategy is easily used for automatic trading.
I mainly trade on Cryptohopper, Pionex, 3commas. This was created for community, alerts are working and non-repainting. Should work on any other as well.
Trading Condition:
It's buying when Fast EMA crosses up Slow EMA. Set your paramters.
It's selling if EMA's crosses back, signaling a sell. Optional.
DCA:
You can enter DCA on 20 custom levels or layers. It buys DCA when price hits the plotted blue line on the chart that's set by input % triggers. (buy 1st DCA at 2% drop, buy 2nd DCA at 5% drop,...)
Set your Inital Capital and Pyramiding in Properties tab, Initial Order Size and DCA Order Size (lot1,lot2,lot3,..), Order Type are changed in strategy inputs.
-By default you can see that we buy when EMA's cross up and signal a buy for 10% of equity, if market is dropping you will then place a first DCA order ( 20% equity) at 2% drop (lower) from initial order. If market keeps dropping you have more DCA levels where you can buy and average down your holding position. For selling you can use Take profit and Stop Loss targets that averages down multiple open positions, it will sell it once it reaches your desirable Take Profit and close a deal. You can also close your trade if EMA signals a sell.
Pyramiding - number of orders you can open at a time
Your first buy order is pyramiding 1. To allow it to buy 1 DCA or merge one time, set pyramding to 2.
Want to DCA 10 times? Set pyramiding at 11. (+1 always)
More features:
- Profit Calendar
- Show Balance label before every new trade
- DCA table - visualize how much of your investment is used in trades. If a background of the table is green you are okay, if the background color is red - you are using more money for orders than you actually have.
Buy Orders << Strategy Equity/Capital
- Show / Hide DCA lines - if your chart processing is getting slow you should hide some DCA levels to speed it up
- Backtesting Range - for testing the strategy in different time windows
- Alerts
When all trades are closed on your chart, winning rate of the strategy is 100% actually.
Win rate is shown differently as it's actually closing and opening every trade individually by default in TradingView system. We merge positions together and average it down into one big position to later sell for a profit (DCA).
You use this Trading Algorithm at your own risk. Do not trade before testing or invest something you cannot afford to lose on markets.
CryptoGraph Entry BuilderA complete system to generate buy & sell signals, based on multiple indicators, timeframes and assets
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🟣 How it works
This indicator allows you to create buy & sell signals, based on multiple trigger conditions, placed in one easy to use TradingView indicator to produce alerts, backtest, reduce risk and increase profitability. This script is especially designed to be used with the CryptoGraph Strategizer indicator. Signals produced by this indicator, can be used as external input with the CryptoGraph Strategizer, by adding both indicators to your chart and selecting "External Input" as entry source in the inputs of the Strategizer indicator. From that point on, buy & sell signals generated by the Entry Builder, will be used for backtesting.
Each trigger or filtering condition is selectable and able to be combined using the selection boxes.
Trigger or filter conditions can be used on a different timeframes, and with different assets or coin pairs. Make sure to set higher timeframe filters, to a higher timeframe than your chart timeframe.
🟣 How to use
• Add the indicator to your chart
• Select an indicator you woud like to use for entry analysis. Combine more indicators for more entry filtering
• Configure entry conditions per indicator. It is recommended to add and configure one indicator at a time
• Analyse your buy/sell entries
• Connect to CryptoGraph Strategizer as external input source for backtesting purposes
🟣 Indicator Filters
• ATR :
Average True Range (ATR) is a tool used in technical analysis to measure volatility .
Possible options for ATR entry filtering are an ATR value greater/smaller than your input variable for trade entries, or the ATR crossing your input variable for trade entries.
This enables the possibility to only enter positions when the market has a certain degree of volatility .
• ADX :
The Average Directional Index ( ADX ) helps traders determine the strength of a trend, not its actual direction. It can be used to find out whether the
market is ranging or starting a new trend.
Possible options for ADX entry filtering are an ADX value greater/smaller than your input variable for trade entries, or the ADX crossing your input variable for trade entries.
• OBV :
The On Balance Volume indicator (OBV) is used in technical analysis to measure buying and selling pressure. It is a cumulative indicator meaning that on days where price went up, that day's volume is added to the cumulative OBV total.
Possible options for OBV entry filtering are Regular, Hidden or Regular&Hidden divergences. Divergence is when the price of an asset is moving in the opposite direction of a technical indicator, such as an oscillator, or is moving contrary to other data. Divergence warns that the current price trend may be weakening, and in some cases may lead to the price changing direction.
• Moving Average :
Moving Average (MA) is a price based, lagging (or reactive) indicator that displays the average price of a security over a set period of time. A Moving Average is a good way to gauge momentum as well as to confirm trends, and define areas of support and resistance .
Possible options for MA entry filtering are price being above/below Moving Average 1, price crossing up/down Moving Average 1, Moving Average 1 being above/below Moving Average 2 and Moving Average 1 crossing up/down Moving Average 2.
• Supertrend :
Supertrend (ST) is a trend-following indicator based on Average True Range (ATR). The calculation of its single line combines trend detection and volatility . It can be used to detect changes in trend direction and to position stops.
Possible options for ST entry filtering are Supertrend being in upward/downward direction, or Supertrend changing direction.
• RSI :
The Relative Strength Index ( RSI ) is a well versed momentum based oscillator which is used to measure the speed (velocity) as well as the change (magnitude) of directional price movements.
Possible options for RSI entry filtering are RSI being smaller/greater than your input value, or RSI crossing up/down your input value.
• Stochastic RSI :
The Stochastic RSI indicator ( Stoch RSI ) is essentially an indicator of an indicator. It is used in technical analysis to provide a stochastic calculation to the RSI indicator. This means that it is a measure of RSI relative to its own high/low range over a user defined period of time.
Possible options for Stoch RSI entry filtering are Stoch RSI crossing below or above your input value.
• VWAP Bands :
Volume Weighted Average Price ( VWAP ) is a technical analysis tool used to measure the average price weighted by volume . VWAP is typically used with intraday charts as a way to determine the general direction of intraday prices.
We use standard deviations, determined by user input, to create VWAP bands.
Possible options for VWAP long entry filtering are: price being below the lower VWAP band, price crossing back up the lower VWAP band or price crossing down the lower VWAP band.
Possible options for VWAP short entry filtering are: price being above the upper VWAP band, price crossing back down the upper VWAP band, or price crossing up the upper VWAP band.
• Bollinger Bands :
Bollinger Bands (BB) are a widely popular technical analysis instrument created by John Bollinger in the early 1980’s. Bollinger Bands consist of a band of three lines which are plotted in relation to security prices. The line in the middle is usually a Simple Moving Average ( SMA ) set to a period of 20 days (the type of trend line and period can be changed by the trader; however a 20 day moving average is by far the most popular).
Possible options for BB long entry filtering are: price being below the lower Bollinger band , price crossing back up the lower Bollinger band or price crossing down the lower Bollinger band .
Possible options for BB short entry filtering are: price being above the upper Bollinger band , price crossing back down the upper Bollinger band , or price crossing up the upper Bollinger band .
• WaveTrend :
WaveTrend (WT) is a smoothed momentum oscillator which enables it to detect true reversals in an accurate manner.
Possible options for WT entry filtering are: Green/red dots below or above a certain WaveTrend value, Regular Divergence, Hidden Divergence and Regular&Hidden Divergence.
CryptoGraph StrategizerA complete system to backtest and automate comprehensive trading strategies
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
🟣 How it works
This indicator allows you to use buy & sell signals from external CryptoGraph indicators, and fully backtest these signals in the TradingView strategy tester. After configuring buy & sell signals, the trader can look into exit criteria with this indicator. The indicator offers percentage based an ATR based take profit/stop losses, as well as safety orders (DCA) in order to get a better average entry price.
Once your strategy is fully set up to your desired results, it's possible to set up alerts and connect the indicator through an automation platform ( API connection), to your broker. Alertatron & Wick Hunter auto configuration is included, meaning everything configured in the indicator settings, will automatically be carried out with Alertatron & Wick Hunter syntaxes.
🟣 Features
• Multiple methods of scaling in entries (Multiple DCA/Pyramiding methods). There will be an option to scale up or down your volume per order and distance between orders.
• Multiple methods of determining order sizes. Methods are percentage risk per trade, dollar risk per trade, position size in contracts, position size in percentage and position size in dollar.
• Multiple methods and levels of taking profits and losses. Both percentage based and ATR based take profit and stop loss.
• Option to use external indicator buy/sell signals for entry.
• Visualised liquidation prices in TradingView (both cross and isolated)
• Information panel on chart with additional information regarding your strategy results
• Bot setup directly from indicator inputs tab with Wick Hunter & Alertatron
🟣 How to use
• Choose a symbol that corresponds to your bot pair and exchange
• Pick a chart time frame
• Always use the regular candle type
• Configure your deal start condition
• Configure your profit target
• Use the Take Profit/Stop Loss feature to set a target for profit and loss
• Configure your safety orders
• Check your backtest parameters
•Make sure that the initial capital and order size make sense. Since you can use pyramiding in your strategy with safety orders, the sum of all deals should not be bigger than the initial capital
3Commas dollar cost averaging (DCA) QFL IndicatorAs investors, we often face the dilemma of willing high stock prices when we sell, but not when we buy. There are times when this dilemma causes investors to wait for a dip in prices, thereby potentially missing out on a continual rise. This is how investors get lured away from the markets and become tangled in the slippery slope of market timing, which is not advisable to a long-term investment strategy.
Skyrex developed a complex indicator based on dollar-cost averaging in Quick Fingers Luc's interpretation. It is a combinations of strategies which allows to systematically accumulate assets by investing scaled amounts of money at defined market cycle global support levels. Dollar-cost averaging can reduce the overall impact of price volatility and lower the average cost per asset thus even during market slumps only a small bounce is required to reach take profit.
The indicator script monitors a chart price action and identifies bases as they form. When bases are reached the script provides entry alerts. During price action development an asset value can go lower and in this way the script will perform safety entries alerts at each subsequent accumulation levels. When weighted average entry price reaches target profit the script will perform a take profit action alert.
Bases are identified as pivot lows in a fractal pattern and validated by an adjustable decrease/rise percentage to ensure significancy of identified bases. To qualify a pivot low, the indicator will perform the following validation:
Validate the price rate of change on drops and bounces is above a given threshold amount.
Validate the volume at the low pivot point is above the volume moving average (using a given length).
Validate the volume amount is a given factor of magnitude above is above the volume moving average.
Validate the potential new base is not too close to the previous range by using a given price percent difference threshold amount.
A fractal pattern is a recurring pattern on a price chart that can predict reversals among larger, more chaotic price movements. These basic fractals are composed of five or more bars. The rules for identifying fractals are as follows:
A bearish turning point occurs when there is a pattern with the highest high in the middle and two lower highs on each side.
A bullish turning point occurs when there is a pattern with the lowest low in the middle and two higher lows on each side.
Basic dollar-cost averaging approach is enhances by implementation of adjustable accumulation levels in order to provide opportunity of setting them at defined global support levels and Martingale volume coefficient to increase averaging effect. According to Quick Fingers Luc's principles trading principles we added volume validation of a base because it allows to confirm that the market is resistant to further price decrease.
The indicator supports traditional and cryptocurrency spot, futures , options and marginal trading exchanges. It works accurately with BTC , USD, USDT, ETH and BNB quote currencies. Best to use with 1H timeframe charts and limit orders. The indicator can be and should be configured for each particular asset according to its global support and resistance levels and price action cycles. You can modify levels and risk management settings to receive better performance
The difference between core script and this interpretation is that this strategy is specially designed for 3Commas bots
How to use?
1. Apply indicator to a trading pair your are interested in using 1H timeframe chart
2. Configure the indicator: change layer values, order size multiple and take profit/stop loss values according to current market cycle stage
3. Set up a TradingView custom alert using the indicator settings to trigger on a condition you are interested in
4. The indicator will send alerts when to enter and when to exit positions which can be applied to your portfolio using external trading platforms
5. Update settings once market conditions are changed using backtests on a monthly period

QFL stands for Quickfingersluc, and sometimes it is referred to as the Base Strategy or Mean Reversals. Its main idea is about identifying the moment of panic selling and buying below the base level and utilizing Safety orders.
What is Base level or Support Level?
Base level or Support Level refers to the lowest price level that was reached before the moment the price started increasing again. At that level, you can notice that buyers of some cryptocurrencies make a strong reaction.
In this strategy we can also reverse the strategy and go short. But i must warn you that that is alot riskier.
QFL is meant to be used on higher TF's like 1hr, 2hr and 4hr. But this strategy also work well on lower Timeframes.
The script also simulates DCA strategy with parameters used in 3commas DCA bots for futures trading.
Experiment with parameters to find your trading setup.
Beware how large your total leveraged position is and how far can market go before you get liquidated!
Do that with the help of futures liquidation calculators you can find online!
Included:
An internal average price and profit calculating, instead of TV`s native one, which is subject to severe slippage.
A graphic interface, so levels are clearly visible and back-test analyzing made easier.
Long & Short direction of the strategy.

Usage: If you want to perform a Dollar Cost Averaging approach with:
- Daily purchases (at a specific time)
- Weekly purchases (at a specific time and day of the week)
- Monthly purchases (at a specific time and day of the month)
It is then possible to set the alert text with a preferred message or for use with trade automation systems. The green background identify the specific time chosen.
It is possible to identify through the Bias Analyzer the best time for the daily purchase.
Configuration:
- Buy Time: hour you would like to buy, please consider that the script is executed at the end of the defined time, so if you would like to buy at 2, have to put 1.
- Buy only Days of the Week: you can select the day you want.

DCA RSI Add funds exit simulatorThis script helps with planning on how to exit DCA deals that are in the negative.
The following deal information is required
- Current average position price
- Funds invested
- Required take profit
Additional indicator settings are
- The date/time on which to start the simulator
- Minimum deviation % to start adding funds
- Expected bounceback from when funds are added
The RSI trigger
Adding funds is triggered when the selected RSI settings yield a value that is at or beyond the selected threshold.
How it works
The amount of funds needed are calculated based on the supplied settings, such that the new average price matches the expected bounceback.
It will also show if the exit strategy has failed to hit the TP (this happens when the RSI threshold is hit again)
QaSH DCA StrategyThis is a backtesting script that demonstrates the power of incorporating dollar cost averaging into your trading strategies. Catch the bottom of those lightning fast dips buy placing your limit orders ahead of time.
Four entry conditions have been included:
- ASAP mode
- Quickfinger's Luc
- Bullish pivot point
- Bearish pivot point
An EMA-based entry condition filter is included
Placement of all DCA orders is adjustable, and "take profit" % is also variable and can depend on the size of the price dip.
Cava Signals Backtesting/VisualizerPLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY
Trying this again, as it seems I keep violating the rules unintentionally. Moderator, please forgive me as I try to make this right.
This backtesting/visualizer script was created for me to get a visual idea of the Cava Signals indicator throughout its development time and continuous optimization.
This script is to be used on the 30-minute timeframe on supported markets, and whether I can only publish strategies on regular candles, the indicator is meant to trigger on heikin ashi candles.I understand backtesting on non-regular candles produces unrealistic results, but I emphasize that this script is more for visualization purposes rather than accurate $ amounts from the trades. The signals are used along with a dedicated bot configuration, so part of the strategy is not managed by the script, but by the bot's config.
Some behind the scenes on what we are looking at:
a combination of ema and sma crosses on different time frames (5m, 15m, 30m, 60m and 90m) - we call this the wave trend
a combination of stochastic rsi on different time frames (10m, 30m)
a combination of schaff trend cycles on different time frames (5m, 20m and 30m)
a combination of money flow index on different time frames (10m and 30m)
volume information for each supported market/pair
and a couple of other info particular to each pair
With the above combination of data points, we try to optimize our strategy for an entry, for dca'ing down in case the coin goes down as well as dca'ing up to maximize profit when a coin is going up, take profit levels when we recognize a good time to do so, and of course, a closing level. I would like to emphasize the *visualization* purpose of this script in recognizing lows, highs, and market structure to identify the important levels to signal - this script is NOT to be used for accurate backtesting, but for an idea of the overall performance of when signals are triggered.
Let me try to explain the workflow and icons you see on the chart:
The colored circles on the bottom of the chart are all buy signals; each color corresponds to a particular buy signal, we have a combination of 9 possible situations that would trigger a buy signal. Some would trigger a buy signal only in combination with other buy signals or other indicators within the script. we also display a green upwards arrow below bars when a buy signal is triggered.
The colored arrows pointing down on the top of the chart are close signals. We have a combination of 5 closing criteria each color corresponds to one, just like the buy signals do. We only close a trade in profit. If not in profit, we will look to DCA down.
DCA signals are shown by the green flag above bars. they are signals to DCA up or down depending on the trade being negative or positive. DCA'ing up or down is also managed by the bot's configuration for limits on when to accept the signal.
Take Profit levels are shown by the green diamond above bars and work in conjunction with the bot's config on when to take the signal if at all and other take profit levels. Usually, when we hit the first take profit level we move our stop loss to entry via the bot's take profit safety feature. You can see this call with the close entry named TPS .
The black bars you may see on the chart is to illustrate when the market is extended based on a particular strategy. During this period we will not trigger a buy signal unless there is a huge spike in positive volume .
The green number below the bars is the total positive delta volume on the buy candles.
On the table on the right upper corner, we show some information on the market and performance of the backtesting - for visualization purposes only!
Currently, the script is tailored to work with the following markets/pairs:
Binance Spot: ADA, ALGO, ATOM, AVAX, BNB, BTC , DOT, ETH, LINK, LUNA, MATIC, SOL, VET, XRP, XTZ
Binance Futures: BTC , ETH, ADA, ALGO, ATOM, BNB, COMP, DOT, ENJ , LINK, OCEAN, OMG, SOL, VET, XMR, XRP, XTZ, AVAX, AAVE, DOGE, LTC, LUNA, MKR , NEAR, ONT, RUNE, SUSHI, LTC, XLM , COMP, ONT, THETA, FTM , EGLD , WAVES, ONE, HTN , CHZ , HOT, MANA, CRV , RVN, BAT, ANKR, 1INCH, ALICE, ATA , AXS , CHR , COTI, NKN , RAY, REN, SRM , SXP , TLM
ByBit Inverse Perpetual: BTCUSD , ETHUSD
ByBit Futures: AAVE, ADA, ALGO, AVAX, AXS , BNB, BTC , DOT, ETH, LINK, LTC, MATIC, SOL, SUSHI, UNI , XEM, XRP, XTZ
The chosen pairs are subject to change based on the best-performing assets we are constantly analyzing.
I hope this helps to understand the script, its purpose and ideas. I hope this satisfies the community rules - it was not my intention to break them - if there's anything on the above or the script that still violates the guidelines, please let me know and accept my apologies in advance.
If anyone would like to know more, let me know in the comment section.
Thank you!
QaSH DCA AlgorithmQaSH DCA Algorithm implements a DCA strategy that takes advantage of price volatility by buying dips to average down, and adjusting price targets as the break-even price gets lower.
How does the DCA strategy work?
When the specified entry condition has occurred, the indicator will set up several limit orders below the current price. If price goes up a specified amount, then the layers will be overwritten at the higher prices. If price goes down and fills the first layer (limit order), then the Take Profit price is plotted and will be sent in an alert. If more layers are filled, then the TP price will move down accordingly as it’s based on the average entry price (alerts on each TP update). This action of lowering the average entry and TP price mitigates your risk, and increases the likelihood of a Take Profit event happening. More entry conditions will be added as time goes on, although complex entry conditions are not necessary for the strategy to work. All the meat of the DCA strategy is in the layer placement, order volume , and TP %.
How does this differ from other DCA bots?
1) The layer placements, order volume , and “take profit %” for each layer or “safety order” is much more customizable than what you get from other services. For example, I can choose to have my TP% change, depending on how big the price dip was. Maybe on safety order 1 I want 10% TP, but on safety order 7 might want a 2% TP.
2) Settings optimization. You can take advantage of the replay feature and see how trades would have played out, and how much PnL you would have made (strategy version is coming soon)
3) You can use this indicator on more than just crypto. You can easily set up alerts for manual trades on stocks, or you can integrate it with your stock broker API of choice and automate your trades.
4) When combining this with an automation service, you will get unmatched execution speed by running it on your dedicated machine.
5) I can offer a lifetime subscription to the indicator upon request.
What kind of market is it best used on?
QaSH DCA Algorithm is best used on cryptocurrencies and stocks, and it is best used on assets that are volatile. That means large swings up and down. Also I recommend running this on many uncorrelated assets at the same time.
What settings should I use?
The default settings are decent for most markets, and provide a good balance between profit potential and downside protection, although you can use a wide variety of settings. In a strong bull market its best to either bring up your layers to catch smaller dips, or you can go big on the first few layers (maybe 4 layers, 25% on each layer for example). In a sideways or brearish market you'll want more downside protection, so you'll want the larger orders to be at lower prices.
What should I do if price goes below my last layer?
The best solution is to keep a cash reserve on the side at all times. If price looks like it has reached a low point below your lowest layer, then manually buy more to average down further. This action will help it along and get you in the green sooner.
Disclaimer: In order to get a large position in an asset, you need to have most of your layers fill. That means you have to be comfortable with buying more as the price goes down, patiently waiting for the bounce that occurs afterward. This is the working principle of Dollar Cost Averaging, and it's a proven method for most markets.

I`ve added:
1) an internal average price and profit calculating, instead of TV`s native one, which is subject to severe slippage.
2) I`ve built a graphic interface, so levels are clearly visible and back-test analyzing made easier.
3) now both Long & Short direction of the strategy exist.
4) trailing TP which was featured in the initial script has been removed because TV`s execution model makes
it impossible to know how the real world trailing would have unfolded.
5) the table is self explanatory, and it is there to help you discover what happened and where.
6) vertical colored lines appear when the new maximum deviation from the original price has
been reached
All the trading happens with total account capital, and all order sizes inputs are expressed in percent.
Known issues:
When deviation is small, and the same candle triggers safety AND the close order, the initial orders are closed, but a
new one opens on the next candle. This is "resolved" by closing the unwanted trade forcefully on the next candle, affecting
profit calculating minimally and guaranteeing that what should be closed has been closed.
The code could be improved through use of arrays, making the table flexible so the number of rows should be dynamic depending
on the number of SOs.
!!!!! IMPORTANT!!!!!
This strategy script is made to receive a signal from an exterior study script, which should plot +100 for long or -100 for short
entry (that is by default - values can be changed in the strategy settings menu). That plot should be found in "Enter Trigger" input
dropdown menu at the bottom of strategy settings menu. Removing the "and trigger == long/short_trigger" condition from strategy entry
conditions makes the strategy open trades ASAP.
Cheers!
Crypto Strategy for Bearish Markets (Binance, FTX, Futures...)BINANCE:BTCUSDTPERP
Even in months like May '21 you can win by going long on Bitcoin. This strategy proves it and is not overwhelmed by Elon's ...
The backtest was carried out during the month of May of this year and, as you can see, all the long operations opened during the fall were successful.
So if we are going to continue to have a bear market for some time, why not take advantage of it while we remain bulls?
This strategy uses Dollar-Cost-Average (DCA) to average the entry price. Thanks to this, it is able to close profitable trades even in times of great volatility and bearish pressure.
It includes alerts that can be configured that will be sent every time the conditions to operate are met. These alerts can also be linked with 3commas for a fully automatic operation.
For Leverage Futures or Margin traders, all you have to do is divide the initial capital by the leverage used.
Enjoy!
