Introduction

The "Ghost Trading" strategy is a custom-built trading strategy written in Pine Script for the TradingView platform. It is designed to achieve consistent profits by combining moving averages, candlestick patterns, and risk management tools. The strategy generates entry and exit signals based on market movements, while incorporating risk-reward ratios and setting stop-loss and take-profit levels based on market volatility.



Components of the Strategy

  1. Risk Management:

    • The strategy allows you to set a custom risk percentage per trade (default is 3% of your capital).
    • The default risk-reward ratio is 1:3.
    • Position size is dynamically calculated based on the distance to the stop-loss level, ensuring losses are controlled.

  2. Indicators and Conditions:

    • Moving Averages (MA):
      • The strategy uses two Simple Moving Averages (SMA) – a 13-period fast MA and a 5-period slow MA.
      • A crossover of the fast MA above the slow MA triggers a long entry, while a crossunder triggers a short entry.
    • Candlestick Patterns:
      • Recognizes patterns like bullish/bearish engulfing, hammer, inverted hammer, bullish/bearish harami, and highlights these on the chart using colored bars for easy identification.
    • Average True Range (ATR):
      • Calculates stop-loss and take-profit distances using ATR with a multiplier (default 1.5).

  3. Visualization Tools:

    • Support Indicators:
      • A 22-period SMA is plotted on the chart for additional trend analysis.
    • Labels for Entry/Exit Conditions:
      • Visual markers like "T" and "TT" indicate bullish or bearish crossover conditions.

  4. Trade Execution:

    • Trades are executed based on:
      • Long Entry: When the fast MA crosses above the slow MA.
      • Short Entry: When the fast MA crosses below the slow MA.
    • Stop-loss and take-profit levels are automatically set for each trade to align with the specified risk-reward ratio.


How to Use the Strategy

  1. Setup:

    • Copy the provided Pine Script code into TradingView's Pine Editor and add it to your chart.

      • Risk percentage per trade.
      • Risk-reward ratio.
      • ATR multiplier.
      • Starting capital.

  2. Analyzing Signals:

    • Look for the visual markers (e.g., "T" and "TT") and candlestick patterns highlighted on the chart.
    • The strategy will automatically execute trades when the conditions are met, and it will display stop-loss and take-profit levels for guidance.

  3. Optimizing the Strategy:

    • Experiment with different ATR multipliers, MA lengths, and risk-reward ratios to adapt the strategy to your preferred asset or market conditions.
