Configurable Trading Bot with Moving Average Signals and ATR Exits

Article Strategy library · Author: Bjorgum

Summary

The document presents a configurable Pine Script strategy framework intended to support automated bot alerts. Its inputs cover enabling long or short trades, reversing positions, limiting the date or session range, and choosing exit behavior. The described risk controls include target levels based on a risk-to-reward multiple, stops placed with an ATR buffer around recent swing highs or lows, ATR-based trailing stops, and a maximum drawdown limit that halts trading.

Moving average type and length settings provide a way to define trend bias, while trade and exit levels can be displayed on the chart. The code excerpt is incomplete, so the entry and exit rules cannot be reconstructed from the available text. Although it includes example assumptions for fees, slippage, and capital, it supplies no backtest results or evidence of live performance. The bot integration and alert setup therefore describe implementation options, not proof that any configuration is profitable or suitable for a particular market.

Key ideas

  • The framework exposes controls for long and short trades, reversals, and trading sessions.
  • ATR can set volatility-adjusted stops and trailing exits around recent swing levels.
  • A risk-to-reward setting defines the relative distance between stop and target.
  • A maximum drawdown control can halt the strategy when losses exceed a chosen threshold.
  • The excerpt does not include enough strategy logic or results to assess performance.
