Overview

The Monthly Trend Breakout Strategy is a TradingView indicator based on Pine Script. It combines an adaptive moving average, trendline breakouts and the RSI indicator to determine long entry signals once per month. Exits occur when the RSI shows overbought conditions.

Strategy Logic

  1. Define variable lastEntryMonth to track last entry month. currentMonth gets current month.

  2. Set TRAMA adaptive MA parameters length=99 to smooth price and determine trend.

  3. Set length_trend=14 to plot trendline upper based on pivot highs. Long when price breaks above trendline.

  4. Calculate RSI indicator with rsiLength=14 to determine overbought/oversold.

  5. Entry logic: Go long if close > TRAMA and close breaks above upper trendline, if no entry last month.

  6. Exit logic: Close long if RSI > 70 (overbought).

  7. Plot TRAMA line and RSI overbought level 70.

The strategy combines 3 major technical indicators to find low risk long entries once per month. Entries are limited to trend breaks only, avoiding whipsaws in ranges.

Advantages

  1. Combines multiple indicators for robust market analysis and higher accuracy.

  2. Limits entries to monthly timeframe, avoiding overtrading.

  3. Adaptive MA quickly adapts to trend changes.

  4. Oversold RSI avoids buying at market tops and controls risk.

  5. Simple entry/exit rules are easy to implement.

  6. Customizable parameters allow strategy optimization.

Risks

  1. Whipsaw risk if breakout fails. Stop loss if price breaks back below trendline.

  2. Poor timing leads to entries near tops.

  3. Bad indicator parameters cause misleading signals.

  4. Breakouts may Reflect recent market volatility. Consider adaptive stops/position sizing.

  5. Monitor risk/reward. Consider only trading pullbacks or adding other confirmation filters.

  6. Validate indicators on multiple timeframes. Use higher timeframes to identify trend and lower for entry.

  7. Backtest over different market conditions. Optimize parameters to match strategy to market type.

Optimization

  1. Add volume indicator to avoid false breakouts with low volume.

  2. Consider partial profit taking on RSI overbought exit, keeping partial position.

  3. Optimize MA parameters to better adapt to trend changes.

  4. Add zones before/after breakout point to avoid buying right at reversal.

  5. Add more filters like channels, volatility for higher accuracy.

  6. Scale in with additional breakouts at new resistance levels.

Conclusion

The Monthly Trend Breakout Strategy analyzes trend, momentum and extremes. It determines trend on monthly timeframe but enters on shorter timeframe breakouts. RSI oversees risk management. Simple logic identifies optimized monthly long entries. It balances trend following and risk controls. Parameter optimization adapts it to different market conditions. Overall, this is a simple yet robust strategy combining usability and effective risk management.

strategy('Bannos Strategy', shorttitle='Bannos', overlay=true)

//The provided script is an indicator for TradingView written in Pine Script version 5. The indicator is used to determine entry and exit points for a trading strategy. Here's a detailed breakdown of what the script does:

// Strategy Definition:

// Bannos Strategy is the full name, with a short title Bannos.
// The overlay=true option indicates that the strategy will be overlayed on the price chart.
// Tracking Entry Month:

// A variable lastEntryMonth is set up to track the month of the last entry.
// currentMonth identifies the current month.
// Trend Regularity Adaptive Moving Average (TRAMA):

// It takes an input of length 99 as default.
// It uses adaptive calculations to track trend changes.
// Trendlines with Breaks:

// Identifies local peaks over a given period (in this case, 14) and calculates a slope based on these peaks.
// Relative Strength Index (RSI):

// Uses a length of 14 (default) to calculate the RSI.
// RSI is an oscillation indicator that indicates overbought or oversold conditions.
// Strategy Logic for Long Entry:

// A long position is opened if:
// The close price is above the TRAMA.
// There's a crossover of the close price and the upper trendline.
// The position is taken only once per month.
// Strategy Logic for Long Exit:

// The long position is closed if the RSI exceeds 70, indicating an overbought condition.
// Plotting:

// The TRAMA is plotted in red on the chart.
// A horizontal line is also drawn at 70 to indicate the RSI's overbought zone.
// In summary, this strategy aims to enter a long position when certain trend and crossover conditions are met, and close the position when the market is considered overbought as per the RSI. Additionally, it ensures entries only occur once a month.

// Strategy Logic for Long Exit
