1 - Strategy presentation

This strategy of trend monitoring combines three technical indicators to secure positions:

  1. Trend Filter (SMA) : The robot defines the overall direction using a Moving Average (usually over 4 hours). It authorizes buying only if the price is above this line, and selling if it is below it.

  2. The Momentum Filter (MACD) : It verifies the strength of the movement. To buy, the MACD must be technically bullish.

  3. The Input Signal (Stochastic) : This is the trigger. The order is launched when the Stochastic crosses a precise zone (e.g.: rebound from the low zone for a buy).

  4. The Exit: The position is closed either by a Stop-Loss or when the Stochastic reaches an opposite level (signal profit-taking).

  5. Safety : A "cooldown" function prevents the robot from immediately reopening a position after a loss, to avoid relentlessness.

2 - Using and adjusting the Stochastic MACD / SMA strategy

A - Get access and load the strategy on TradingView

To use the strategy, you must have a Tradingview account and be registered on our site.

Once these two conditions have been met, simply go to a TradingView chart, click on "Indicators" and search for :

 - Trading Bot - Stochastic MACD / SMA - Robot Strategy -

If your registration on our site has been validated, the padlock will appear in green, and all you have to do is click (once) on the strategy name to load it onto your chart.

B - Selecting the right TimeFrame and data source

Once the strategy has been loaded onto your chart, you will need to select an asset and a data source. To date, we offer trading instances for automation on Bitget (available in France with a VPN).

Bitget has the advantage of a very large number of cryptocurrencies that can be traded (over 500 in FUTURES), enabling us to multiply our bots on a single trading account. Our backtesters run on Bitget data. 

On TradingView, start by selecting a TimeFrame 15m (recommended for this strategy). The strategy works on most of them, although of course you'll need to adapt the settings. You can start by reproducing the settings suggested on the Telegram channel, and together we'll see how to fine-tune them. 

In a second step, we will select an asset and a data source.

For Bitget : Select cryptocurrency pairs by USDT.P (e.g. BTCUSDT.P) in SWAP (see screenshot below) by clicking on the magnifying glass at the top left of your TradingView chart.

You will need USDT in your Bitget FUTURES USDT-M account to trade.

C - Open settings and adjust strategy

The easiest way is to start by retrieving one of the results from the automatic backtests on one of our Telegram channels.

To open the strategy settings, double-click on his name:

Start by programming the strategy by setting :

  • Select Trading Mode: Choose whether the bot should take only Longs, Shorts, or both.

  • Set Length of %K (Stochastic Settings) This is the sensitivity of your main indicator. A higher value (e.g. 150) gives slower but more reliable signals.

  • Set Input Levels (% Entry Level) Set trigger thresholds (generally low for Longs, e.g. 14; and high for Shorts, e.g. 85).

  • Set Output Levels (% Exit Level) : This replaces the fixed Take-Profit. The position closes dynamically when the Stochastic reaches this level (e.g. 55 for a Long). This parameter is crucial for letting gains run.

  • Adjust Filters (MACD & SMA) Activate the trend filter (SMA 200) or momentum filter (MACD) to avoid trading against the current.

  • Secure with Stop-Loss Set a maximum loss percentage to protect your capital in the event of a sudden downturn.

Visit Exit Level is the parameter with the greatest influence on profitability. Once this level has been reached, it is advisable to readjust the Length of %K to filter out false signals.

D - Refine settings

  • Once you've found the right level, it's sometimes worth repeating the set-up sequence from the beginning to refine the results. 

E - Managing capital

You are invited to read all the Tutorials on capital management if you are a beginner in trading..

Programming choices and risk management are your sole responsibility as a trader.

Capital management is probably the most important element in your success.

For this strategy, we recommend manage your capital by managing the size of your positions. It is also possible to manage risk by using Stop-Loss or both.

Here are two reasonable examples for a strategy set with 1 entry in a single position:

In 15 minutes : 1% (conservative) to 4% (aggressive) of total capital with leverage x5 (max). This means that if the price is 20% unfavorable to you after entering a position (rare in 5 minutes, but it can happen), the position (1 to 2% of total capital) is liquidated (loss of entire position). 

In the case of multiple entries, divide the size of your positions by the number of entries to maintain capital management.

For example, for conservative capital management:

Position size : 2%-4% lever x1 (maximum theoretical risk of 2%, but in reality liquidation is statistically very unlikely)

Suggestion: 1% lever x5

For aggressive capital management: Position size: 10% lever x1 or 5% lever x2 (max)

You can use multiple entry levels to smooth your trades. Remember then that each entry will be the amount of the parameters chosen in the position size setting section. Take this into account in your capital management, by dividing the size of your position by the number of entries. to maintain a maximum risk equivalent to the one you have chosen for your trading plan.

F - Automate strategy (Create a Bot)

Our strategies include built-in automation capabilities. 

You need to have opened an account (free or paying) on WunderTrading to benefit from this system. This service is free if you use the Hyperliquid exchange, and reasonably priced if you use one of the many other exchanges offered by the platform.

With this integration, all you have to do is set up your strategy, create a "signal bot" on WunderTrading, enter messages for your bot in the strategy settings and create an alert on TradingView.

Each alert can then become an autonomous, automated trading bot. 

An alert saves all settings, timeframes, assets, etc. that were on the screen when it was created. Once the alert has been created, you can close the strategy or set it differently, but this will have no impact on your bot, which will continue to run with its original settings in the background, placing buy and sell orders when the time comes. 

For stop or edit a trading bot, you need to delete the alert and your bot on WunderTrading and create a new one with the new settings.

You will find a complete and detailed tutorial in the " section. Automation "You'll find it on our website.

3 - Additional technical points / FAQ

Here are some optional additional points that will be added to as your questions arise:

  • The strategy features a number of additional (optional) settings. Small information bubbles appear next to each important setting.
  • Prefer a LONG ONLY alert and a separate SHORT ONLY alert to program your bots.
  • Don't program two bots on the same asset and in the same direction (on several different strategies). (long or short): Your bots will be in conflict.
  • We strongly recommend that youuse a sub-account specific to the use of a strategy. To be on the safe side, you'll default the leverage to x1 for all assets ("set by batch" box) and the tading bots will send the leverage used. 
  • If you delete an alert and a position is open, you have to close it on your exchange because it will never be closed.
  • The average time between the triggering of the Tradingview alert and the placing of the order is 8 to 12 seconds, depending on the market. Avoid timeframes that are too short.
