19 Show every signal? - (Study only) Unchecked shows only first signal based on strategy. But if you use take profit/stoploss settings within your bot, you might want to rebuy on next signal. Checked shows signal on each candle.
Notice that there are also false signals, especially when the coin is not trending or is strongly manipulated. Overall strategy is profitable though. You just take some minor loses and wont miss the big move.
You may also consider to compare buy&hold return vs profit from trading this strategy. In downtrend as we have seen recently, profit may not be as high as you expect but it is still much better than just hold and hope.
You can use the strategy script for fine tunning settings and find best settings for yourself
Study script helps you to automate trading with use of alerts perharps with 3commas bot or even trade manually based on email/sms notification setted by tradingview
Make sure that you keep same settings for strategy and study scripts.
If you need any help with settings do not hesitate to ask. I would also appriciate any feedback and ideas how to improve this script.
