Price Change Scalping Indicator v1.0

Introduction

This indicator uses a price rate of change (ROC) momentum calculation to determine the percent change in price between a defined range of bars. The calculated ROC value is then compared to the Upper Threshold and Lower Threshold values to determine if a trade setup is to be activated. If the threshold is crossed, a trade setup will occur based on the indicator settings. Entry, Take Profit, and Stop Loss prices are calculated and displayed on the chart. Once the Entry Price is crossed, a long or short position is created (depending on the direction) and once the Take Profit price is crossed, the position is closed. If the Entry Price is not crossed within a specific number of bars, the trade setup is canceled, and it will proceed to monitor price changes for the next set up.

How is it original and useful?

This indicator is unique in that the strategy version fully supports the TradingView backtester, which will enable you to perform experiments with various settings to evaluate performance using the historical chart data. The study version implements numerous custom alerts for you to build TradingView notifications around specific price action events and stay informed with market activity in real-time. Both script versions will provide the same configuration abilities where you can define:

• Define a short or long trading strategy.
  
• Price change data source and offset settings.
  
• Your layering placement relative to the entry price.
  
• Your trading parameters like take profit and stop loss offsets, exchange commission rates, trading start time, and order size multiplication for each layer.
  
• Flexible trade eligibility rules that can use other chart indicators, like RSI or EMA, to exclude the selection of entry prices for trading.
  
• The visibility of detailed statistics from the chart history pertaining to trading sessions started and closed, session durations, win rate, price action drops and bounces, as well as layer utilization.

Strategy Results

The default settings are designed to define a "loose" price change settings to ensure that the indicator will render chart elements when first loaded as well as to allow the backtester to gather order executions and display performance summary. The strategy version is using $10,000 initial capital, a commission rate of 0.1% for both entries and exits, and a 1 tick slippage setting. It is also using 2.74506% of the equity with a Order Size Multiplier of 1.33, using 8 total DCA layers, and a take profit of 2% with no stop loss. All other settings are defaults.

It is recommended that the indicator be "tuned" for your specific market in order to best implement the price change strategy and obtain better desirable results. You do so by scrolling through the chart's history and observing moments when prices tend to move rapidly. Measure the number or bars it typcially takes for the price to change at a specific rate. Using this information, you can adjust the Price Change Settings accordingly to configure the indicator for the chart.

Always keep in mind that past performance may not be indicative of future results. Settings that seem favorable for one market may be found to be disastrous in another. Therefore, do take the time needed to understand how the settings will behave with the given chart symbol.

Enjoy! 😊👍
