4Hours optimized CARHey!
I have been working on this script the lasts days, it's a collaboration with an uruguayan mate.
#####IMPORTANT#####
* It has been optimized for 4h charts, use it on other at your own risk.
* Always use Stop Loss, since it might give false signals after a long trend.
* I'm still working on it, I'm going to add candlestick pattern filtering.
Thanks for your support, greetings.

Cowabunga System from babypips.comPlease do read the information below as well, especially if you are new to Forex.
The Cowabunga System is a type of Mechanical Trading System that filters trades based on the trend of the 4 hour chart with EMAs and some other familiar indicators (RSI, Stochastics and MACD) while entering trades base on 15 minute chart.
I have coded (quite amateurishly) the basic system onto a 15 minute chart (the 4 hour settings are coded as well). The author says the system is to be traded off the 15 minute chart with the 4 hour chart only as a reference for trend direction.
4 Hour Chart Settings
5 EMA
10 EMA
Stochastics (10,3,3)
RSI (9)
Then we move onto the 15 minute chart, where he gives us the trade entry rules.
15 Minute Chart Settings
5 EMA
10 EMA
Stochastics (10,3,3)
RSI (9)
MACD (12,26,9)
Entry Rules - long entry rules used, obviously reverse these for shorting.
1. EMA must cross above the 10 EMA.
2. RSI must be greater than 50 and not overbought.
3. Stochastic must be headed up and not be in overbought territory.
4. MACD histogram must go from negative to positive OR be negative and start to increase in value.
What I did.
1. Set the RSI and Stochastic levels to avoid entries when they indicate overbought conditions for long and oversold conditions for short (80 and 20 levels).
2. Users can input specific times they want to backtest.
3. User's can configure profit targets, trailing stops and stops. Default is set it to was 100 pips profit target with a 40 pip trailing stop. (Note, when you are changing these values, please note that each pip is worth 10, so 100 pips is entered as 1000.)
The Cowabunga System from babypips.com is another popular and active system. The author, Pip Surfer, continues to post wins and losses with this system. It shows there is a lot of honesty and integrity with this system if the author keeps up to date even 10 years later and is not afraid of sharing the times the system causes losses.
As an example of this, here is post he shared just last week . It's almost like a journal, he gives specific times and reasons why he entered, lets the readers know when he was stopped out, etc. I think that what he does is equally important as his system.

Simple Strategy Code StubThis is a very basic strategy implementation
Use as a code stub for your strategy code. I wrote it because I could not find one.
This particular strategy goes long on Tuesdays at 10 am and goes short at 3 pm on Thursdays.
Because US markets open at 9:30 you have to have your chart in 30 minute or less resolution for trades to fire.
You can gut that code and replace it with your own to start testing your own indicators and strategies.
If you build a strategy that doesn't use "hour" like I have this resolution requirement won't apply.
For giggles, compare its performance to other strategies. Weird, huh? About 53% effective on most equities and indexes.
This strategy does the minimum needed to get a strategy working
and uses default position sizes and buys at market with no stops.
Again, it is the minimal code stub needed to test an indicator/rule based strategy.
A great code reference for building more sophisticated strategies can be
found here =>
The code is written by @greatwolf and is very well structured for anyone looking to fully utilize
strategy features for position sizing, limit orders, stops and cancellations.
UCS_S_Stochastic Pop and Drop StrategyMy Contribution to Jake Bernstein Educational Series, Initiated by Chris Moody.
The Stochastic Pop was developed by Jake Bernstein and modified by David Steckler. Bernstein's original Stochastic Pop is a trading strategy that identifies price pops when the Stochastic Oscillator surges above 80. Steckler modified this strategy by adding conditional filters using the Average Directional Index (ADX) and the weekly Stochastic Oscillator.
Modifications
1. Weekly Stochastic Oscillator for Trading Bias = 5* Daily Stochastic
2. Optional Volume Confirmation, Custom Average Volume Length
Future Plans
1. Adding Triggers for Entry, Stops and Target. - This will be release when we have ability to code the complete Strategy. Although it can be done with the current pinescript options, it would be far more easier if we have strategy ability.

UCS_S_Steve Primo - Strategy #5 (FOREX Only)Here we have another Steve Primo Strategy ( #5)
This is a short term, trend continuation strategy, Recommend using this on 30 Mins + time frames.
I have added few things.
1. PET-D filter, to identify the trend along with the SMA 50. ----> Setup in line with PET-D (EMA,15) trend confirmation.
2. Option for Harami Candle identification (may not be Steve Primo Setup), There is no evidence on any of the videos listed below for Harami or other candlesticks pattern.
Future - Planned to add other candle patterns.
