TMA Breakout

This strategy exploits breakouts relative to a Triangular Moving Average (TMA). It watches a configurable candle series and compares the previous candle's close to the TMA value plus or minus user defined offsets. A long position is opened when the previous close is above TMA + UpLevel, and a short position is opened when it is below TMA - DownLevel. Opposite signals reverse the position.

Parameters

  • TMA Length – period used to calculate the Triangular Moving Average.
  • Upper Level – price offset added to the TMA to detect long signals.
  • Lower Level – price offset subtracted from the TMA to detect short signals.
  • Candle Type – timeframe of candles used by the strategy.

How it works

  1. Subscribes to the selected candle series.
  2. Binds a Triangular Moving Average indicator to the candles.
  3. On each finished candle it:
    • Stores the previous TMA and close values.
    • Checks if the previous close exceeded the upper or lower level.
    • Sends market orders to open or reverse positions accordingly.
  4. Charts candles, indicator line and own trades for visual analysis.

Notes

The strategy uses market orders without stop-loss or take-profit management. It is intended for educational purposes and should be extended with proper risk controls before live trading.
