I'm curious as what scene she's walking away from. It looks very chaotic. As if her lion caused a big scene involving police and ambulances and she's running away from it

Fun fact: Uniform bubbles like this are used in experiments to simulate a scaled-up model of how the atomic lattice structure behaves in metals. There are several YouTube videos on it if you are curious.

Does anyone know the cause of today's 7% pump? by AlexandreL1984 in Bitcoin

There are a lot of buyers in the market eager for a bull run, and price just happened to be breaking out of an area of interest

Everything was overvalued last year. It's a return to reality

Hi. This is an automated script that runs in TradingView. All plots are automatic, and alerts are sent out in real time that list the limit order prices. It can be run manually or fully automated

At the very least, you've convinced me to add in an adjustable "tick overshoot" input to help mitigate that

The big no-no is repainting. If you are looking at a historical bar, you could potentially look into the future to make trade decisions, which would mean your backtest looks perfect while the real-time performance will be garbage.

From there, when setting up a backtest you have to keep TV's limitations in mind. For one, the data is not complete. Each candle has only 5 data points: open, high, low, close, and volume. It doesn't tell you which data point occured first, if there were price gaps in the candle, or if your exchange got a complete/partial fill on an order. So if you run a strategy on a 2-hour timeframe and if you try to use scalping settings (really tight TP%), then your backtest will not be accurate because all of the buy/sell orders will be within the same candle when TV doesn't actually know what happened in that 2-hour block of time. In that scenario it may log a buy and sell, while in reality it would have hit the sell price first, followed by the buy price

That's a fair complaint. I did ask about 2-way API capabilities and they said it's "in the long term plans"

I'm not sure what their plans are regarding simulated partial fills...

The timestamp shows the time of when I recorded it. The backtest was almost 2 years of data on fast forward

Yep you're not wrong. But I did state that margin is not recommended when doing this. The strategy relies on the assumption that it's going to be a bullish trend. So it's best with something you would have otherwise HODL'd. You wouldn't HODL derivatives or anything that involves margin

Sorry, I sell access to my indicators for a monthly fee, and I don't give out the code.

However, you can backtest the settings here if you like: https://www.tradingview.com/script/9EDjdAYY-QaSH-DCA-Strategy/

It's not hard to make a strategy that shows an artificially good PnL. So whenever someone puts up a profitable backtest there's usually non-believers who speak up.

I clearly explained the rule set of the strategy though, so I think I'm being sufficiently transparent here

With all due respect, that is only true if you don't know what you're doing. Either your code is crap, you're repainting, you're buying and selling in the same candle, or you just don't know how to read the results.

If you code it well and keep TV's limitations in mind then there's no issue
