3. Visualize Indicators

Visualize the Bollinger Bands and MACD on the OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close) chart to see the impact of your configuration. Here are some hints to help you fine-tune the indicators:

Bollinger Bands Length: A larger length will make the Bollinger Bands wider and smoother, while a smaller length will make them narrower and more volatile.
Long Threshold: This is a reference to the Bollinger Band. A value of 0 means the lower band, and a value of 1 means the upper band. For example, if the long threshold is 0, long positions will only be taken if the price is below the lower band.
Short Threshold: Similarly, a value of 1.1 means the price must be above the upper band by 0.1 of the band’s range to take a short position.
Thresholds: The closer you set the thresholds to 0.5, the more trades will be executed. The farther away they are, the fewer trades will be executed.
MACD: The MACD is used to determine trend changes. If the MACD value is negative and the histogram becomes positive, it signals a market trend up, suggesting a long position. Conversely, if the MACD value is positive and the histogram becomes negative, it signals a market trend down, suggesting a short position.

Combining MACD and Bollinger Bands for Trade Signals

The MACD BB V1 strategy uses the MACD to identify potential trend changes and the Bollinger Bands to filter these signals:

Long Signal: The MACD value must be negative, and the histogram must become positive, indicating a potential uptrend. The price must also be below the long threshold of the Bollinger Bands (e.g., below the lower band if the threshold is 0).
Short Signal: The MACD value must be positive, and the histogram must become negative, indicating a potential downtrend. The price must also be above the short threshold of the Bollinger Bands (e.g., above the upper band if the threshold is 1.1).

This combination ensures that you only take trend-following trades when the market is already deviated from the mean, enhancing the effectiveness of your trading strategy.

4. Executor Distribution

The total amount in the quote currency will be distributed among the maximum number of executors per side. For example, if the total amount quote is 1000 and the max executors per side is 5, each executor will have 200 to trade. If the signal is on, the first executor will place an order and wait for the cooldown time before the next one executes, continuing this pattern for the subsequent orders.

5. Backtesting

Run backtests to evaluate the performance of your configured strategy. The backtesting section allows you to:

Process Data: Analyze historical trading data.
Visualize Results: See performance metrics and charts.
Evaluate Accuracy: Assess the accuracy of your strategy’s predictions and trades.
Understand Close Types: Review different types of trade closures and their frequencies.

6. Save Configuration

Once you are satisfied with your configuration and backtest results, save the configuration for future use in the Deploy tab. This allows you to deploy the same strategy later without having to reconfigure it from scratch.

Feel free to experiment with different configurations to find the optimal setup for your trading strategy. Happy trading!
