Trade Manager/Pnl and Risk-Reward Panel (Plug&Play)Hello traders
The Trade Manager Standalone is finally back and with many more built-in features.
I. 💎 SCRIPTS ACCESS AND TRIALS 💎
1. No TRIAL is available for that script. Available only with one-time payment on my website .
2. My website URL is in this script signature at the very bottom (you'll have to scroll down a bit and going past the long description) and in my profile status available here : Daveatt
Due to the new scripts publishing house rules, I won't mention the URL here directly. As I value my partnership with TradingView very much, I prefer showing you the way for finding them :)
3. Many video tutorials explaining clearly how all our indicators work are available on your website > guides section.
4. You may also contact me directly for more information
II. 🔎 What is a Trade Manager?🔎
2.1 Concept
Standalone Trade Manager compatible with any indicator.
Once connected, whenever you'll update your Algorithm Builders or your indicator, the Trade Manager Stop-loss, take-profit levels, and analytics get updated automatically. #bold #statement #but #actually #true
2.2 How hard is it to update your indicator?
We'll send to our customers, a comprehensive and easy tutorial, to make any indicator compatible.
I guarantee you, it should take no more than 2 minutes per indicator. We made it easy, fun, and awesome. #bolder #statement
III. The amazing benefits of our🔌&🕹️ (Plug&Play) system
Hope you're ready to be impressed. Because, what I'm about to introduce, is my best-seller feature - and available across many of my indicators.
In TradingView, there is a feature called "Indicator on Indicator" meaning you can use an external indicator as a data source for another indicator.
I'm using that feature to connect any external indicator to our Trade Manager (Plug & Play) - hence the plug and play name. Please don't make it a plug and pray :) it's supposed to help you out, not to stress you even more
Let's assume you want to connect your RSI divergence to your Trade Manager.
I mentioned an RSI divergence but you may connect any oscillator (MACD, On balance volume, stochastic RSI, True Strenght index, and many more..) or non-oscillator (divergence, trendline break, higher highs/lower lows, candlesticks pattern, price action, harmonic patterns, ...) indicators.
THE SKY IS (or more likely your imagination) is the limit :)
Fear no more. The Plug&Play technology allows you to connect it and use it the backtest calculations.
This is not magic ✨, neither is sorcery, but certainly is way beyond the most awesome thing I've ever developed on TradingView (even across all brokers I know). #bold #statement #level #9000
TradingView is the best trading platform by far and I'm very grateful to offer my indicators on their website.
To connect your external indicator to ours, we're using a native TradingView feature, which is not available for all users.
It depends on your TradingView subscription plan ( More info here )
If you intend to use our Algorithm Plug&Play indicator, and/or our Backtest Plug&Play suites, then you must upgrade your TradingView account to enjoy those features.
We value our relationship with our customers seriously, and that's why we're warning you that a compatible TradingView account type is required - at least PRO+ or PREMIUM to add more than 1 Plug&Play indicator per account.
We go in-depth on our website why the Plug&Play is an untapped opportunity for many traders out there - URL available on my profile status and signature
IV. 🧰 Features 🧰
4.1 Stop-Loss Management
For what's following, let's assume that 2 is the stop-loss value you inserted in the indicator, and the Algorithm Builder gives a BUY signal.
This is NOT a recommendation at all, only an example to explain how this feature works.
- %Trailing: The Stop-Loss starts 2% away from the entry price - and will move up (because we're on a BUY trade as per our example) every time your trade will gain 2% profit
- Percentage: The Stop-Loss stays static 2% away from the entry price. There is no trailing here
- TP Trailing: This is a very awesome feature. The stop-loss is set 2% away when the trades start.
When the TP1 is hit, the stop-loss will be moved to the Entry price (also called breakeven).
When the TP2 is hit, the SL is moved to the previous TP1 position
- Fixed: Set the Stop-Loss at a fixed position (value should be in currency/units)
4.2 Take Profits Management
You can manage up to 2 take profit levels defined as a percentage or price value.
The expected input is in percentage value (for instance, setting the % target of TP1 to 2% will set the TP1 level 2% away from the entry price
4.3 Built-in Trade Manager
This is very likely the most loved utility script that we shared on TradingView.
It's included in your Algorithm Builder - Single Trend+, and will certainly help you immensely to analyze your charts and your trades.
We made sure that all the graphical elements on the chart will be updated in real-time whenever our user change anything on the indicator configuration.
You'll also be able to change the Trade Manager labels positions as you wish :)
4.4 Built-in Risk-to-Reward Panel
The good stuff doesn't stop here.
You'll notice that this sometimes green (when in a LONG), sometimes red (when in a SHORT) panel at the right of your chart.
It displays for the selected trading algorithmic (see 2.3.2 above), a ton of useful real-time analytics.
- Entry Price: the price when the Algorithm Builder will give a signal.
- The Trade PnL in percentage.
- Entry Stop Loss: Distance (in currency/units) between the selected stop-loss algorithm (percent, trailing, TP trailing, etc.) and the entry price.
- Entry TP1: Distance (in currency/units) between the entry price and the first take profit
- Entry TP2: Distance (in currency/units) between the entry price and the second take profit
- Risk/Reward TP1: Using the Stop-loss distance at entry, and Take Profit 1 at entry to compute the risk-to-reward ratio.
- Risk/Reward TP2: Using the Stop-loss distance at entry, and Take Profit 2 at entry to compute the risk-to-reward ratio.
For more details, please check the guides section of my website. Links are in my signature and profile status.
4.5 Built-in PnL real-time calculations
YES!!!! you read it correctly
The panel displays the risk-to-reward ratios but also the PnL (Profit and Loss in percentage value) of the current and last trade
V. 🔔 Alerts 🔔
We enabled the alerts on the:
1. Stop-Loss
2. Take Profit 1
3. Take Profit 2
VI. 🤖 Compatible with trading bots? 🤖
I'm very aware of all existing solutions out there allowing us to capture the TradingView alerts (Instabot, ProfitView, ...) and forwarding them to the brokers to automatize your trading.
You'll find a more detailed answer on our website.
If you have any doubt or question, please hit me up directly or ask in the comments section of this script.
I'll never claim I have the best trading methodology or the best indicators.
You only will judge and I'll appreciate all the questions and feedback you're sending my way.
They help me a ton to develop indicators based on all the requests I received.
Kind regards,
Dave
Algorithm Builder - Multiple Trends+ (+ Trade Manager and Panel)Hello traders
I. SCRIPTS ACCESS AND TRIALS
1. For the trial request access, they have to be done through my website .
2. My website URL is in this script signature at the very bottom (you'll have to scroll down a bit and going past the long description) and in my profile status available here : Daveatt
Due to the new scripts publishing house rules, I won't mention the URL here directly. As I value my partnership with TradingView very much, I prefer showing you the way for finding them :)

II. Algorithm Builder - Multiple Trends
2.1 Forewords
The Multiple Trends+ is the update of the Multiple Trends and includes a built-in Trade Manager and PnL/Risk-Reward Panel
This indicator is available only to our PREMIUM users. Our PREMIUM indicators offer more trading analysis capabilities and opportunities.
A few words of caution: the Algorithm Builders - Multiple Trends are more advanced and as such, would require slightly more time to be mastered.
They're not that much difficult, but we understand that designing a trading system with 2 trends might be slightly more complicated - however, there is nothing to be scared of :).
The time spent to learn how to use our PREMIUM tools might be rewarded handsomely.
2.2 Concept
The Algorithm Builder - Multiple Trends is made to detect the convergence of many unrelated indicators and give a BUY or SELL signal whenever all the selected sub-indicators are converging in the same direction.
This is an upgrade of the PRO package giving access to the Algorithm Builder - Single Trend - designed to show 1 unique entry per trend - whereas the Multiple Trends offers re-entries in the same direction of the trend if the indicator detects good convergences to accumulate more positions.
III. Multiple Trends versus Single Trend
3.1 Multiple Trends benefits
A friend asked us recently Why using the Multiple Trends if we can use the Single Trend in a smaller timeframe, and get more entries that way?
We thought this was an excellent question, but the answer is obvious.
Using a Single Trend on a smaller timeframe to solely getting more entries will reduce the security of the given trades.
We designed the Algorithm Builders to take a trade in an identified trend but reducing the timeframe too much will mostly increase your risk - and might lead to capital loss.
By the way, this is a universal rule valid also for a big majority of indicators.
We're absolutely not saying that the Single Trend won't work on small timeframes because actually it really does. But, if you find out a great configuration for your Single Trend, and want to get more signals without increasing your risk - then the Multiple Trends would be a very viable option.
3.2 Main signal versus secondary signals
For the main and secondary trends, the color green symbolizes any identified "BUY" trend. And the color red symbolizes any identified "SELL" trend.
-The MAIN trend symbol is unique and symbolized by a triangle.
- The SECONDARY (could also be called re-entries) trends are multiple and symbolized by a diamond.
In the Algorithm Builder indicator settings, they're identified with the Additional keyword.
3.3 How the convergences are calculated
Extremely important: The diamonds (or re-entries) are displayed, as long as a triangle (or main/primary signal) is displayed.
For a trend change (buy to sell or sell to buy), the system waits for ALL selected re-entries sub-indicators , to give a convergence/confluence in the opposite direction.
For example, let's assume a BUY/green convergence based on 3 indicators. One or Two of them going turning red, won't be enough for a trend change.
But, if all of them turn red, then we'll see a red triangle - signaling the beginning of a new downtrend.
3.4 Why multiple entries?
Here are a few use cases :
1. The main use case why we made those Multiple Trends indicators: A trader got invalidated or stopped out on a trade, but wants a system to let hin/her jump back in with a minimum of security. (security depending on the configuration of the Algorithm Builder as a whole).
This is very frustrating to get in a trade, being stopped out, and finally, see the trade going in the expected direction.
Even more frustrating to jump back in at the end of a trend, and get stopped out again - we all agree on this.
2. You want to add more positions on your main trade as your Algo Builder identified a solid trend - this is a nice way to possibly maximize your gains.
Once again, we don't/won't guarantee any performance result (not because we don't believe in our tools, but for legal reason), all depends on the time spent reading our documentation and playing with the Algo Builder - as explained on our Tutorials.
More info available on our website. URL available in this script signature and on my profile status.
IV. Why the Algorithm Builder Multiple Trends+ may help you
I worked with many traders during my career, and their feedback about trading is often pretty similar.
They all tried a lot of complicated indicators, losing their capital, and finally getting back to the basics (even to the basic indicators if I might say)
The art is finding a good combination of indicators and setting strict money/risk management rules.
Easy in concept, but more than 90+% of traders lose money on the markets... which teach us that trading is not only about drawing trendlines, or using cool indicators but finding ways to ease our psychology while trading.
4.1 The Algorithm Builder trading framework
The sub-indicators (full list on our website) weren't chosen randomly. They're based on a trading method we've developed over the last 6 years - while working with traders and other trading quants.
The Algo Builders are made to detect a convergence - and as such, will give a signal once a trend has been identified.
They're not made to detect reversal but have been designed to give a signal when all sub-indicators are either ALL bullish (green) or ALL bearish (red).
We provide a framework based on indicators we selected because they:
1. make sense to be used altogether
2. work on asset classes like INDEX, CRYPTO, STOCK OPTIONS, FOREX, COMMODITIES
3. it may expand your knowledge about what detecting a convergence with pre-selected indicator really means
4.2 Supports and Resistances
The indicator displays the main algorithmic supports and resistances according to our trading method.
I think they're relevant for all asset classes, but you're absolutely free to use any different supports/resistances logic if you want to.
I'm not against it because I know that pivots, Fibonacci levels, etc. may work very well also.
4.3 Choose your favorite risk management algorithm
1/ Pre-defined Algo S/R method using:
- a supertrend of the stop-loss
- the nearest algorithmic resistances for the take profit levels.
2/ Define your own Stop-loss and Take-profits level in real-time
Stop-Loss Management
For what's following, let's assume that 2 is the stop-loss value you inserted in the indicator, and the Algorithm Builder gives a BUY signal.
This is NOT a recommendation at all, only an example to explain how this feature works.
- %Trailing: The Stop-Loss starts 2% away from the entry price - and will move up (because we're on a BUY trade as per our example) every time your trade will gain 2% profit
- Percentage: The Stop-Loss stays static 2% away from the entry price. There is no trailing here
- TP Trailing: This is a very awesome feature. The stop-loss is set 2% away when the trades start.
When the TP1 is hit, the stop-loss will be moved to the Entry price (also called breakeven).
When the TP2 is hit, the SL is moved to the previous TP1 position
- Fixed: Set the Stop-Loss at a fixed position (value should be in currency/units)
Take Profits Management
You can manage up to 2 take profit levels defined as a percentage or price value.
The expected input is in percentage value (for instance, setting the % target of TP1 to 2% will set the TP1 level 2% away from the entry price

- Entry TP1: Distance (in currency/units) between the entry price and the first take profit
- Entry TP2: Distance (in currency/units) between the entry price and the second take profit
- Risk/Reward TP1: Using the Stop-loss distance at entry, and Take Profit 1 at entry to compute the risk-to-reward ratio.
- Risk/Reward TP2: Using the Stop-loss distance at entry, and Take Profit 2 at entry to compute the risk-to-reward ratio.
For more details, please check the guides section of my website. Links are in my signature and profile status.
4.6 Built-in PnL real-time calculations
YES!!!! you read it correctly
The panel displays the risk-to-reward ratios but also the PnL (Profit and Loss in percentage value) of the current and last trade
4.7 Hard Exits
Our trading method is known for the hard exits, also called invalidation.
The Single Trend+ includes a hard exit based on a MACD - settings are flexible and you may update them.
Having a stop-loss protecting your trade is a best practice - Protecting your stop-loss also from getting hit is incredible.
We prefer invalidate a few positions, even if sometimes we don't want to. Rather than the market hard exiting on us, and leaving with our hard-working money.
4.8 Alerts
Alerts are enabled for:
- BUY/SELL MAIN triangles signals
- BUY/SELL SECONDARY diamond signals
- Trade Manager alerts (Stop Loss, Take Profit 1, Take Profit 2)
- Hard Exits
V. Pain points that we're trying to solve with our Algorithm Builders
Issue #1 There are many informations / indicators / strategies / backtests / noise. Finding the right ones is not a simple task.
Solution #1 A reliable system that removes the external noise is much needed in trading to stay "in the game".
Issue #2 Trading could be quite stressful - The majority doesn't lose in trading because technical analysis is hard, but because managing our psychology is one of the hardest things a human can do.
Solution #2 Some ways to reduce the "trading stress" could be: getting better quality signals and trading like a "machine". Forgetting about Twitter and trusting the system you designed.
Issue #3 Trading without strict rules and only based on what we feel, or what we think the market should do is the fastest way to kiss our money goodbye.
Only 1 indicator generally is not enough. Traders generally use a combination of several indicators but they're monitoring them individually.
It's normal then to feel exhausted at the end of the day ^^ (to say the least)... and exhaustion leads to mistakes which leads to..... (I'm sure you got it) ... capital loss.
Solution #3 As a trader, I needed a trading framework and a method. I offer our trading method but they're plenty others out there. We cannot claim obviously it's the best ever ....but let's say we're using those exact same
scripts ourselves for our trading. And this what we've been recommending our clients to trade with for the past years. Also, having a tool detecting the convergence of several indicators and giving 1 unique signal
for BUY/SELL position will save you a lot of time/energy, and perhaps might help you out getting better trading performance.
VI. Resolving a complex puzzle and having fun in the process
Trading has to stay a passion and not (only be) a source of intense stress.
The most successful traders I know are "trading geeks" - literally always looking for optimizing, searching for the best possible entries, setups, indicators, tools, etc.
For them, it's not even about the money anymore, but only about beating their previous performance.
Why are they doing this? Because it's fun
Might appears as a bold statement, but I guarantee that looking for setups is fun.
One of our users even told us, that it's like playing with "Legos" and we couldn't possibly agree more.
VII. Designing a system that "makes sense"
Another bold statement now. Brace yourselves ladies and gentlemen
The Algorithm Builders allow to design trading systems quickly. What could takes days/weeks/months to find out... might be now within your reach in less than a few hours.
With a bit of practice, less than an hour might be enough per asset/timeframe to find a system that makes sense to you and adapted to your trading capital and psychology.
Assuming our users read our guides and are fully committed to learning a new way of trading - then we do guarantee you'll be able to design kick-ass trading systems that make sense.
"Making sense" doesn't mean at all it's guaranteed to win, it means you're the one defining the convergence of indicators, using your Algorithm Builder, and observe that most of the time - whenever there is a BUY signal, the candlesticks are going upwards - whenever there is a SELL signal, it's going downwards.
This is a necessary step to make real progress from a trading analyst perspective - and hopefully could lead to profits.
VII. Algorithm Builder versus the main trader enemy(=psychology)
This indicator has the goal to help solving one of the MAIN issues encountered by traders.
Most of traders realize, they can't perform with only 1 indicator (or 1 price pattern or 1 price action) and need a combination of multiple indicators before getting in a trade.
Far from being a magic pill, if it could at least reduce the stress you have while trading, then we'll consider we made a great job - it's a technical "useless noise remover", and needs to be followed strictly.
Such trust in a trading system can only be built by testing your Algorithm Builder configuration on either:
1. a demo account
2. or a live account with small bids. And then, increasing progressively the bids if your capital increases progressively.
Though, you should still use your common sense. (for instance: if we get a BUY signal right on a big timeframe resistance we're hitting for the first time).
I'm aware this is a new way of trading but for many, and while we cannot foresee the future, neither predict performance, we believe it might save you a lot of time to find good signals.
My maximum level of happiness will be reached the day when our users will contact me and showing me setups being mine.
I'm sure that even I can learn from my users and, we can all learn from each other Algorithm Builder configuration
VIII. What is a wrong or bad configuration?
Simply put. If you see that most of your signals react such as described below:
1. a buy triangle/diamond predicts, most of the time an upwards move
2. a sell triangle/diamond predicts, most of the time a downwards move
3. you estimated yourself the stop-loss needed to give enough room for your trades.
4. take profits based on algorithmic support and resistances or your own take profit method.
So what's a good Algorithm Builder configuration? A configuration you're happy with and makes sense.
A better Algorithm Builder setup is one used in demo or a live account w/ small bids for a few weeks, and you're consistent in your trading performance.
If you have any doubt or question, please hit me up directly or ask in the comments section of this script.
I'll never claim I have the best trading methodology or the best indicators. You only will be the judge, and I'll appreciate all the questions and feedback you're sending my way.
They help me a ton to develop indicators based on all the requests I received.

II. Algorithm Builder - Single Trend+ (MTF)
2.1 Concept
MTF means Multi Timeframes - we all agree that saying MTF is nicer and easier than multi-timeframe.
That script is an upgrade of the Single Trend:
The Algorithm Builder - Single Trend+ (Multiple Timeframes/MTF) is made to detect the convergence of many unrelated indicators, and give a BUY or SELL signal whenever all the selected sub-indicators - each may be using a different timeframe - are converging in the same direction.
Now sit tight because what's going to be announced will be awesome. Are you ready for it?... :)
The MTF version allows to detect the convergence for indicators in different timeframes. Each indicator has its own timeframe - expanding, even more, your trading analysis capabilities.
In other words, you could, for instance, detects the convergence of an H1 MACD with an H2 Supertrend, and why not also adding an m30 Moving Averages cross in the mix.
The Single Trend+ MTF gives one single entry per identified trend - unlike the Multiple Trends editions (also available on my scripts page) which may give more than 1 entry per trend.
The traders select the sub-indicators they want, and see in real-time the BUY and SELL triangles being updated.
2.2 Why the Algorithm Builder Single Trend may help you

Assuming our users read our guides and are fully committed to learning a new way of trading - then we do guarantee you'll be able to design kick-ass trading systems that make sense.
"Making sense" doesn't mean at all it's guaranteed to win, it means you're the one defining the convergence of indicators, using your Algorithm Builder, and observe that most of the time - whenever there is a BUY signal, the candlesticks are going upwards - whenever there is a SELL signal, it's going downwards.
This is a necessary step to make real progress from a trading analyst perspective - and hopefully could lead to profits.
V. Algorithm Builder versus the main trader enemy(=psychology)
This indicator has the goal to help solving one of the MAIN issues encountered by traders.
Most of traders realize, they can't perform with only 1 indicator (or 1 price pattern or 1 price action) and need a combination of multiple indicators before getting in a trade.
Far from being a magic pill, if it could at least reduce the stress you have while trading, then we'll consider we made a great job - it's a technical "useless noise remover", and needs to be followed strictly.
Such trust in a trading system can only be built by testing your Algorithm Builder configuration on either:
1. a demo account
2. or a live account with small bids. And then, increasing progressively the bids if your capital increases progressively.
Though, you should still use your common sense. (for instance: if we get a BUY signal right on a big timeframe resistance we're hitting for the first time).
I'm aware this is a new way of trading but for many, and while we cannot foresee the future, neither predict performance, we believe it might save you a lot of time to find good signals.
My maximum level of happiness will be reached the day when our users will contact me and showing me setups being mine.
I'm sure that even I can learn from my users and, we can all learn from each other Algorithm Builder configuration
VI. What is a wrong or bad configuration?
Simply put. If you see that most of your signals react such as described below:
1. a buy triangle predicts, most of the time an upwards move
2. a sell triangle predicts, most of the time a downwards move
3. you estimated yourself the stop-loss needed to give enough room for your trades.
4. take profits based on algorithmic support and resistances or your own take profit method.
So what's a good Algorithm Builder configuration? A configuration you're happy with and makes sense.
A better Algorithm Builder setup is one used in demo or a live account w/ small bids for a few weeks, and you're consistent in your trading performance.
If you have any doubt or question, please hit me up directly or ask in the comments section of this script.
I'll never claim I have the best trading methodology or the best indicators. You only will be the judge, and I'll appreciate all the questions and feedback you're sending my way.
They help me a ton to develop indicators based on all the requests I received.
Kind regards,
Dave
Algorithm Builder - Single Trend+Hello traders
I. SCRIPTS ACCESS AND TRIALS
1. For the trial request access, they have to be done through my website .
2. My website URL is in this script signature at the very bottom (you'll have to scroll down a bit and going past the long description) and in my profile status available here : Daveatt
Due to the new scripts publishing house rules, I won't mention the URL here directly. As I value my partnership with TradingView very much, I prefer showing you the way for finding them :)
3. You may also contact me directly for more information
II. Algorithm Builder - Single Trend+
2.1 Concept
That script is an upgrade of the Single Trend:
The Algorithm Builder - Single Trend+ was made to detect the convergence (also called confluence) of many unrelated indicators, giving a BUY or SELL signal whenever all the selected sub-indicators are converging in the same direction.
The Single Trend gives one single entry per identified trend - unlike the Multiple Trends editions (also available on my scripts page) which may give more than 1 entry per trend.
The traders select the sub-indicators they want, and see in real-time the BUY and SELL triangles being updated.
2.2 Why the Algorithm Builder Single Trend may help you
I worked with many traders during my career, and their feedback about trading is often pretty similar.
They all tried a lot of complicated indicators, losing their capital, and finally getting back to the basics (even to the basic indicators if I might say)
The art is finding a good combination of indicators and setting strict money/risk management rules.
Easy in concept, but more than 90+% of traders lose money on the markets... which teach us that trading is not only about drawing trendlines, or using cool indicators but finding ways to ease our psychology while trading.
2.3 The Algorithm Builder trading framework
The sub-indicators (full list on our website) weren't chosen randomly. They're based on a trading method we've developed over the last 6 years - while working with traders and other trading quants.
The Algo Builders are made to detect a convergence - and as such, will give a signal once a trend has been identified.
They're not made to detect reversal but have been designed to give a signal when all sub-indicators are either ALL bullish (green) or ALL bearish (red).
We provide a framework based on indicators we selected because they:
1. make sense to be used altogether
2. work on asset classes like INDEX, CRYPTO, STOCK OPTIONS, FOREX, COMMODITIES
3. it may expand your knowledge about what detecting a convergence with pre-selected indicator really means
2.3.1 Supports and Resistances
The indicator displays the main algorithmic supports and resistances according to our trading method.
I think they're relevant for all asset classes, but you're absolutely free to use any different supports/resistances logic if you want to.
I'm not against it because I know that pivots, Fibonacci levels, etc. may work very well also.
2.3.2 Choose your favorite risk management algorithm
1/ Pre-defined Algo S/R method using:
- a supertrend of the stop-loss
- the nearest algorithmic resistances for the take profit levels.
2/ Define your own Stop-loss and Take-profits level in real-time
Stop-Loss Management
For what's following, let's assume that 2 is the stop-loss value you inserted in the indicator, and the Algorithm Builder gives a BUY signal.
This is NOT a recommendation at all, only an example to explain how this feature works.
- %Trailing: The Stop-Loss starts 2% away from the entry price - and will move up (because we're on a BUY trade as per our example) every time your trade will gain 2% profit
- Percentage: The Stop-Loss stays static 2% away from the entry price. There is no trailing here
- TP Trailing: This is a very awesome feature. The stop-loss is set 2% away when the trades start.
When the TP1 is hit, the stop-loss will be moved to the Entry price (also called breakeven).
When the TP2 is hit, the SL is moved to the previous TP1 position
- Fixed: Set the Stop-Loss at a fixed position (value should be in currency/units)
Take Profits Management
You can manage up to 2 take profit levels defined as a percentage or price value.
The expected input is in percentage value (for instance, setting the % target of TP1 to 2% will set the TP1 level 2% away from the entry price
2.3.3 Built-in Trade Manager
This is very likely the most loved utility script that we shared on TradingView.
It's included in your Algorithm Builder - Single Trend+, and will certainly help you immensely to analyze your charts and your trades.
We made sure that all the graphical elements on the chart will be updated in real-time whenever our user change anything on the indicator configuration.
You'll also be able to change the Trade Manager labels positions as you wish :)
2.3.5 Built-in Risk-to-Reward Panel
The good stuff doesn't stop here.
You'll notice that this sometimes green (when in a LONG), sometimes red (when in a SHORT) panel at the right of your chart.
It displays for the selected trading algorithmic (see 2.3.2 above), a ton of useful real-time analytics.
- Entry Price: the price when the Algorithm Builder will give a signal.
- The Trade PnL in percentage.
- Entry Stop Loss: Distance (in currency/units) between the selected stop-loss algorithm (percent, trailing, TP trailing, etc.) and the entry price.
- Entry TP1: Distance (in currency/units) between the entry price and the first take profit
- Entry TP2: Distance (in currency/units) between the entry price and the second take profit
- Risk/Reward TP1: Using the Stop-loss distance at entry, and Take Profit 1 at entry to compute the risk-to-reward ratio.
- Risk/Reward TP2: Using the Stop-loss distance at entry, and Take Profit 2 at entry to compute the risk-to-reward ratio.
For more details, please check the guides section of my website. Links are in my signature and profile status.
2.3.6 Hard Exits
Our trading method is known for the hard exits, also called invalidation.
The Single Trend+ includes a hard exit based on a MACD - settings are flexible and you may update them.
Having a stop-loss protecting your trade is a best practice - Protecting your stop-loss also from getting hit is incredible.
We prefer invalidate a few positions, even if sometimes we don't want to. Rather than the market hard exiting on us, and leaving with our hard-working money.
2.3.7 Alerts
Alerts are enabled for:
- BUY/SELL triangles signals
- Trade Manager (SL, TP1, TP2)
- Hard Exits
III. Pain points that we're trying to solve with our Algorithm Builders
Issue #1 There are many informations / indicators / strategies / backtests / noise. Finding the right ones is not a simple task.
Solution #1 A reliable system that removes the external noise is much needed in trading to stay "in the game".
Issue #2 Trading could be quite stressful - The majority doesn't lose in trading because technical analysis is hard, but because managing our psychology is one of the hardest things a human can do.
Solution #2 Some ways to reduce the "trading stress" could be: getting better quality signals and trading like a "machine". Forgetting about Twitter and trusting the system you designed.
Issue #3 Trading without strict rules and only based on what we feel, or what we think the market should do is the fastest way to kiss our money goodbye.
Only 1 indicator generally is not enough. Traders generally use a combination of several indicators but they're monitoring them individually.
It's normal then to feel exhausted at the end of the day ^^ (to say the least)... and exhaustion leads to mistakes which leads to..... (I'm sure you got it) ... capital loss.
Solution #3 As a trader, I needed a trading framework and a method. I offer our trading method but they're plenty others out there. We cannot claim obviously it's the best ever ....but let's say we're using those exact same
scripts ourselves for our trading. And this what we've been recommending our clients to trade with for the past years. Also, having a tool detecting the convergence of several indicators and giving 1 unique signal
for BUY/SELL position will save you a lot of time/energy, and perhaps might help you out getting better trading performance.
IV. Resolving a complex puzzle and having fun in the process
Trading has to stay a passion and not (only be) a source of intense stress.
The most successful traders I know are "trading geeks" - literally always looking for optimizing, searching for the best possible entries, setups, indicators, tools, etc.
For them, it's not even about the money anymore, but only about beating their previous performance.
Why are they doing this? Because it's fun
Might appears as a bold statement, but I guarantee that looking for setups is fun.
One of our users even told us, that it's like playing with "Legos" and we couldn't possibly agree more.
V. Designing a system that "makes sense"
Another bold statement now. Brace yourselves ladies and gentlemen
The Algorithm Builders allow to design trading systems quickly. What could takes days/weeks/months to find out... might be now within your reach in less than a few hours.
With a bit of practice, less than an hour might be enough per asset/timeframe to find a system that makes sense to you and adapted to your trading capital and psychology.

Correlation Matrix by DaveattHi everyone
A co-pinescripter friend told me this was impossible to do and we bet a free dinner tomorrow. Guess who's going to be invited to a very fancy restaurant tomorrow :) :) :) (hint: not him)
What's the today script is about?
This script is based on this MT4 correlation matrix
Asset correlation is a measure of how investments move in relation to one another and when. ... Under what is known as modern portfolio theory, you can reduce the overall risk in an investment portfolio and even boost your overall returns by investing in asset combinations that are not correlated.
I did it because it wasn't existing before with this format. What I discovered was only correlations shown as plot lines... #this #is #not #pretty
How does it work?
The correlation matrix will not be based on the current asset of the chart BUT will be based on the current timeframe (confusing? if yes, read it again until you'll get it)
- Numbers of bars back: numbers of bars used for the correlation calculation
- High correlation level: Correlation upper threshold. If above, then the correlation will be green
- Low correlation level: Correlation lower threshold. If below, then the correlation will be red
If the correlation is between the high and low levels, then it will be displayed in orange
- FOREX/INDEX: You can choose between displaying the correlation matrix between 3 FOREX or 3 INDEX assets
Also...
So far the scale doesn't respond too well to the matrix so you'll have to adapt the scale manually. I'll publish a V2 if I'll find a way to solve this issue from the code directly #new #challenge
A quick final note on why I'm sharing so much?
It challenges me to think out of the norm, get out of my bubble and explore areas of Pinescript that I still don't know. This "a script a day" challenge allows me to speed up my learning curve on Pinescript by a billion factor (and I get a few interesting gigs as well)
Let's bring this indicator to 100 LIKES guys !!!!! I think it deserves it, don't you think? :)
PS
Before all copy/pasters will add a version with crypto tomorrow, don't bother, I already did it and will post it in a few minutes for FREE :p

Crypto Prices InfoPanel V2Hello traders
Following the introduction of ByBit to TradingView ByBit on TradingView
I decided to upgrade my previous Bitcoin InfoPanel Bitcoin-Prices-InfoPanel/
Now it's more dynamic (thumbs up) but only work with Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin . If you select any other asset than those 3, the script won't work
This is due to a technical limitation on TradingView because I can't do more than 40 security calls per script
If you don't know what the security function is, here's a reminder : Security documentation . If you don't know what is TradingView... I cannot do anything for you...
Now you can use this panel to have a very cool arbitrage view directly from TradingView and use the info to gamble between brokers (not financial advice)
See you all tomorrow for a huge update regarding the Strategy Builder. I'll show you how to connect it to a Backtest system

Risk/Reward (InfoPanel)Hello ladies (if any in my followers ?) and gentlemen
Here's your indicator of the day and once again given for FREE. What I'm going to say to my landlord if I can't pay rent because I'm not asking for $$ ?
I'll probably send the next indicators from below the town brige. Even then... I will still comply with my challenge to share 1 original indicator a day and not a copy of what already exists
The today indicator is to show you the great possibilites behind the TradingView Label object : Label
Profit And Loss LABEL
I thought about that one for a while and wanted to share how we can calculate dynamically a Risk to Reward ratio .
This indicator is not based on the price on the chart. I repeat before getting the question asked me privately 10 times This indicator is not based on the price on the chart.
"Then it's not useful dude, you're dumb". I agree and.... I agree... BUT you can now calculate your Risk to Reward ratio on TradingView directly rather than using an external Excel file. Who's dumb now :) ?
For those curious about it, I used this formula for the R:R ratio formula Calculating-risk-reward.asp
It will also display the Profit and Loss data based on your inputs only
ERRORS LABEL
I also added some basic errors management. If any error occur when you'll type your inputs, then a very mean Error label will appear and you'll have to fix the issues in less than a few seconds.
Otherwise your computer will explode (KABOOOOM) and your trading capital will be redirected to my own insurance fund (I have a family to feed, thanks for your sacrifices)
(end of joke)
In more seriousness, the engine will check if the TP1/TP2/Stop Loss/Entry price combinaisons makes sense. If not, you''ll be punished with an error label.
You can use this methodology for your own indicators in the futur to display dynamic messages based on users' inputs and/or current price on the chart
The educational video giving more details is coming right up.
You can watch it and should be located under "IDEAS"
Wshing you all a very fruitful end of your day and see you tomorrow for the last indicator of the week (baby David is tired and need his rest)

Multi Bar OHLC Compare Panel (Floating Grid)Multi Bar OHLC Compare Panel by RagingRocketBull 2019
version 1.0
This indicator lets you compare OHLCV values from several specified bars. Bars can be dynamic/persistent.
You can also use it as an alternate OHLC panel if you don't like small font of the native TradingView panel.
It uses Pinescript v4 to output data dynamically as string labels in a horiz/vertical grid.
Features:
- Floating Panel with customizable horiz/vertical layout and grid spacing
- Support for up to 5 OHLC bars (highlighted with markers)
- Outputs Bar #/index, OHLCV, Bar Change Value/%, Exchange/Ticker, Timeframe, Timestamp strings
- Dynamic (fixed offset)/Persistent bars (fixed time)
- Show/Hide parts of strings
- Full output string customization, including text size, date/time format and delimiters
- 2 Anchor points for panel offset: cur bar high or range high
- Bar Change can change color
Usage:
- specify at least 1 bar index as OHLC source
- select anchor point to position the panel
- select horiz/vertical grid layout
- adjust horiz/vertical spacing
- customize output strings as needed
Notes:
- this indicator uses Pinescript v3 Compatibity Framework
- both bars 1,2 are required for log scale adjustment to work
- you can't attach the panel to screen's top/bottom and must use offset/anchor because, unlike plotshape, string labels don't support yloc=yloc.top/bottom, only yloc.above/belowbar
- you can't precisely align strings in a grid because there's no label.get_width/height to calculate mid/left points, only get_x/y/text. Alignment will break depending on string length, zoom and change color option on/off
- bar change is rendered as a separate label when change color is enabled (2 panels total) and merged into the main panel when disabled (single panel)
- you can't change the order of strings as playing with the natural order of things isn't the best of ideas
- you can modify the script to compare up to 50 OHLC bars, but do you need that much power? Of course, you do.
- you can't set color/style for string labels in Style UI, so a few extra settings were added.
- bar index is limited to 5000 for free accounts (10000 for paid), will show an error when exceeded, also when it exceeds the total number of bars in history
- in persistent bars mode all bars with index > 0 are considered persistent, bar 0 always remains a dynamic bar
- persistent bars' offset is reset: in replay mode on exit or when price reaches cur bar, or when panel layout is changed from h to v in both replay/realtime modes
- initial pos of each persistent bar relative to the first realtime bar anchor doesn't change during session - new persistent bars introduced during session are attached to the most recent cur bar anchor
P.S. Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen
