Price-Level Pullback Entries with Percentage Targets and Stops

Summary

The strategy places a long limit order below a reference price, defined from a selected price series and recent range settings. The documented rule describes using a recent low as the reference, then entering after a percentage decline. It sets percentage-based take-profit and stop-loss levels, sizes positions as a share of equity, and can close positions after a configured number of bars. Its stated aim is to trade rebounds after price dips, while limiting losses and defining exits in advance.

The document provides parameters and Pine Script source, along with a published BTC/USDT futures backtest configuration. It does not report performance results, so claims about higher win rates or profit protection are not substantiated by figures. There are also differences between the prose and implementation: the source uses a limit order based on the selected binding series, and its exits are tied to entry price; it does not clearly implement a stop that trails the lowest price. The approach may therefore behave differently from the narrative, and its results would depend on parameter choices, execution, and market conditions.

Key ideas

• The described entry buys after price falls a configured percentage below a reference level.
• Take-profit and stop-loss prices are set as percentages of the intended or average entry price.
• Position size is expressed as a percentage of strategy equity, and an optional bar limit can force an exit.
• The source code does not clearly implement the lowest-price trailing stop described in the prose.
• The published backtest configuration gives a test market and period but reports no performance results.
