AIMS Algo

Oct 12, 2024

AIMS ALGO: A Comprehensive Trading Tool 🚀

1. Overview
AIMS Algo is designed as a versatile tool on TradingView. It helps traders generate signals, automate trades (via PineConnector), and analyze strategies through backtesting. This script includes robust risk management features and various customization options.





This strategy is the culmination of 14 years of live manual trading experiences and refinements. Initially developed for trading the DAX during the London open using simple logic, over a decade and a half of continuous improvement has brought it to its current form. The strategy may seem too good to be true, but it has been perfected through trial and error. Now, it's your chance to unleash the full potential of this algorithm.



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Key Functionalities

• Indicator Mode
  Displays clear buy and sell signals directly on your TradingView charts.
  
  
• Strategy BacktestingUtilize TradingView’s built-in Strategy Tester to validate and refine trading ideas.
  Monitor key metrics such as net profit, max drawdown, profit factor, and win rate.
  
• Bridge to MT4/MT5 (via PineConnector)
  Connect TradingView to your MT4/MT5 platform for automated order execution.
  

  Note: Real-world conditions vary by broker/data feed; slippage, commissions, and spread differences can significantly affect real performance.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. Core Features

3.1 Backtesting Capabilities

• Historical Data Analysis
  Leverage TradingView’s Strategy Tester for an overview of how the strategy might have performed over historical data.
  
  
• Performance Metrics
  Review net profit, maximum drawdown, profit factor, and win rate to guide your decisions.
  

3.2 Stop Loss Methods

• Percentage-Based Stop Loss
  Fix your stop-loss at a chosen percentage of the entry price for straightforward, controlled risk.
  
  
• Normal (Percent-Based)
  Dynamically adjust SL according to market volatility.
  

3.3 Dashboard Display
A real-time dashboard appears in the top-right corner by default. It provides quick performance statistics, such as net profit, drawdown, profit factor, and win rate.



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. Indicators and Filters
This script employs a combination of standard technical indicators and specialized components inspired by Trading Chaos Theory. Each indicator serves a unique purpose in identifying potential trade entries, exits, and overall market conditions. While they can be powerful tools, no single indicator guarantees future performance.

• 4.1 RSI (Relative Strength Index)Purpose:
  Filters trades based on overbought/oversold conditions.
  
  Configuration:
  Default levels are set to 70 (overbought) and 30 (oversold).
  
  Usage:When RSI is above 70, buy signals may be ignored to avoid entering overextended markets.
  
  When RSI is below 30, sell signals may be ignored for the same reason.
  
  -
  
  
• 4.2 Exponential Moving Average (EMA)Purpose:
  Highlights trend direction and helps identify dynamic support/resistance.
  
  Configuration:
  Typically uses Fibonacci-based or custom EMA periods for multi-timeframe analysis.
  
  Usage:When price remains above a selected EMA, the script can favor long entries.
  
  Conversely, price below the EMA may bias the script toward short trades.
  
  -
  
• 4.3 SuperTrendPurpose:
  Serves as a broad-market trend filter, indicating uptrend or downtrend phases.
  
  Configuration:
  User-defined multiplier and period (e.g., 13, 3 | 10, 2 or 14,2 ). Default is 14,2
  
  Usage:Buy trades are permitted in an uptrend, while sell trades may be filtered out.
  
  Conversely, sell trades are permitted in a downtrend.
  
  -
  
• 4.4 Parabolic SARPurpose:
  Adds an optional trend or trailing-stop component.
  
  Configuration:
  Adjust the step and maximum step according to volatility.
  
  Usage:Future versions of this strategy may incorporate Parabolic SAR for trailing stop-losses, locking in gains during trending conditions.
  
  -
  
• 4.5 AIMS BoxPurpose:
  Identifies areas of consolidation (the “box”) by marking recent highs and lows.
  
  Usage:A breakout above or below the box can signal potential momentum shifts.
  
  Helps traders spot when price may transition from ranging to trending.
  
  -
  
• 4.6 AIMS GatorPurpose:
  Derived from the Alligator strategy concept by Bill Williams, which uses multiple moving averages.
  
  Usage:Indicates when the market is “sleeping” (consolidation) vs. “eating” (trending).
  
  Helps filter trades by favoring entries in clearer market conditions.
  
  -
  
• 4.7 Purple Magic
  • Purpose:
    Provides additional context for trend identification and potential trade setups.
    
    
  • Usage:
    • Applies proprietary rules to simplify detecting high-conviction entries in trending markets.
      
      
    • Aims to help traders manage exits more efficiently.
      

-

Note: The interplay of these indicators can help refine trade entries and exits, but no methodology can assure future success. Use caution and thorough testing when incorporating any indicators into a live trading strategy.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. Advanced Take Profit & Stop Loss Methods

• Normal
  Single TP (TP1) at 100% closure by default.
  Example: If SL is 10 pips and TP1 is set to 1×SL, the TP also equals 10 pips.
  
  
• GetFunded Option (High Risk)
  An optional, more aggressive risk management approach. Use with caution, as drawdowns can be severe.
  
  
• Scaling Option
  Allows for multiple TP levels (e.g., close part of the position at TP1, the rest at TP2).
  
  
• Fixed Pips
  Specify exact pip distances for SL and TP.
  The script calculates lot size accordingly.
  

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6. Trade Management

• Compounding: Option to increase position size as equity changes (use responsibly).
  
• Max Trades: Limit total trades per session/day to mitigate overtrading.
  
• Visual Settings: Configure background shading, signal colors, and data displayed in the info box.
  

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7. PineConnector Settings

• Webhook URL: Input your PineConnector webhook if automating trades to MT4/MT5.
  
• Signal Format: Define how the script sends messages (e.g., “Buy” or “Sell”, symbol, SL, TP).
  

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8. Indicators Used
AIMS Algo combines standard technical indicators and custom logic:

• RSI
  
• Exponential Moving Averages (EMA)
  
• SuperTrend
  
• Parabolic SAR (optional)
  
• AIMS Box & AIMS Gator (identifies breakouts, consolidations, and trend)
  
• Purple Magic (additional entry/exit logic)
  
• Awesome Oscillator (AO) (momentum-based confirmations)
  

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9. Advanced Features

• Custom Price Action Patterns
  Two optional patterns (AIMS Algo Pattern & Banana Pattern). Pick which pattern to use for signal generation.
  
  
• Dynamic Risk Management
  Adjusts risk based on market conditions/account drawdown. Can be more aggressive if in profit or more conservative when losing.
  
  
• Slippage Control
  Simulate real-world trading conditions in backtesting. Define random slippage frequency and range.
  
  
• Spread Simulation
  Factor in spreads for more accurate Forex testing (especially important since TradingView data typically shows a single price).
  

9.1 Slippage Management
Slippage is an important factor to consider in live trading, as market prices can move between the time you place an order and when it is executed. By including a slippage option in this script, traders can specify the amount of slippage they expect or are willing to accept on their trades. This helps ensure your backtesting more closely mirrors real-world conditions.

• Adjust for Market Conditions
  In fast-moving or volatile markets, prices may shift rapidly. The slippage setting helps simulate such price discrepancies, reflecting actual market dynamics.
  
  
• Improve Strategy Accuracy
  Incorporating slippage prevents overly optimistic backtest results. You get a better sense of how your strategy might perform when executed in live markets.
  
  
• Manage Risk Better
  By understanding how slippage impacts trades (especially stop losses and take profits), you can refine your approach to mitigate unexpected losses.
  

Overall, simulating slippage in your strategy allows for a more realistic performance assessment. Traders benefit from a clearer understanding of how their strategy would behave under live execution, ensuring they are better prepared when placing real trades.

11. The Strategy Principles We Followed

11.1 Entry Conditions

Long Entry

• Price Pattern: The most recent high and low must meet specific relationships with previous candles, suggesting potential upward momentum.
  
• Trend Confirmation: An external indicator may confirm the directional bias (optional).
  
• Time Restrictions: Entries occur only within predefined session windows.
  
• Trade Limits: If activated, a feature ensures no more than a set number of daily trades.
  
• Risk Management: Techniques (e.g., stop-loss and position sizing) are applied to limit drawdowns.
  
• Advanced Position Sizing: Helps minimize drawdown percentages and duration.
  

Short Entry

• Price Pattern: A reverse structure compared to long entries, indicating potential downward momentum.
  
• Trend Confirmation & Time Restrictions: Same optional filters/time settings as long entries.
  
• Trade Limits: Ensures controlled daily exposure for short positions if activated.
  
• Risk Management: Similar techniques to safeguard against excessive losses.
  
• Advanced Position Sizing: Helps minimize drawdown percentages and duration.
  

11.2 Exit Conditions

Long Exit

• Protective Stop: Placed below the entry based on recent price action.
  
• Profit-Taking:
  
  • Occurs at one or more predefined levels.
    
  • If scaling out is enabled, the strategy can close partial positions at the first profit target; the second target is a customizable multiple of the initial stop distance.
    
  • Future Option: Additional methods to set fixed take-profit and stop-loss levels by pips, points, percentages, or dollar amounts.
    

Short Exit

• Stop Placement: Above the entry, mirroring long-exit logic with adjustments for short trades.
  
• Profit Levels:
  
  • Similar approach to longs; one profit target if scaling out is off, or multiple levels if scaling is enabled.
    

11.3 Risk Management

• Adaptive Risk: Stop levels adjust to recent market volatility.
  
• Profit Targets: Linked to the stop distance for flexible trade management.
  
• Consistent Risk Percentage: Position sizing maintains a fixed fraction of the account risked per trade.
  
• Daily Loss Threshold: Trading halts once a defined loss limit is reached.
  
• Separate Long & Short Limits: Prevents overexposure in either direction.
  
• Advanced Risk Management: AIMS Get Funded Risk Strategy

  Important: This approach involves higher risk and does not guarantee passing any funded account challenge. Traders should use caution and thorough testing.

  • Martingale Risk Method: Increases position size following a loss, aiming to recover previous losses more quickly. This can significantly amplify risk.
    
  • Pyramiding & Reverse Pyramiding: Allows scaling in/out of positions dynamically.
    
  • Dynamic Adjustments: Risk may increase after winning trades and decrease after losing ones, according to user-defined rules.
    

Disclaimer
All examples and settings described are for informational purposes only. Past performance or optimization of indicator settings does not guarantee future results. Trading involves significant risk of loss, and one should always use caution and consult a qualified financial professional before trading real funds.

   Important Disclaimers
   

   • Hypothetical Performance: All statistics above reflect backtested or hypothetical results. They do not guarantee success in real markets.
     
   • Changing Conditions: Market volatility, liquidity, and economic events can shift rapidly, so parameters optimized for one timeframe may perform differently in the future.
     
   • Risk Management: Always use appropriate stop-losses, position sizing, and daily loss thresholds. Risking more than you can afford to lose is not recommended.
     
   • Forward Testing: Before applying any of these settings in live trading, forward-test them in a demo environment to validate their practicality.
     

   
   

   
   
   These customizable configurations aim to provide a starting point. Ultimately, traders should fine-tune the strategy to fit their individual style, risk tolerance, and market conditions.
   
   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   
   Risk Disclaimer ⚠️
   Trading carries significant risk, and many traders lose money. AIMS Algo is provided for educational and informational purposes only. It does not guarantee profitability. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Always do your own research, test thoroughly, and consult a licensed financial professional before trading live funds. The creator of this script assumes no responsibility for any financial losses.
   
   

   The settings currently recommended reflect what has worked best during the customizable backtesting period within the indicator. However, optimizing parameters for technical indicators does not guarantee future success. Market conditions evolve, and any “optimal” settings are likely—if not certain—to change over time.
   
   Although many technical analysts focus on refining signal parameters, the practical benefits of such optimization remain limited and can be quite complex to apply in real-time trading, even with forward testing.

   Strategy Properties (Important)
   We strongly recommend all users to ensure they adjust the Properties within the script settings to be in line with their accounts & trading platforms of choice to ensure results from strategies built are realistic.
   
   Happy Trading! ✨

Oct 30, 2024

Release Notes

Beta 9.4 is all about the next step of automation
In the previous version we were able to send signals to pineconnector.
All beta testers were successfully able to generate signals and received them in their mt4 and mt5 platforms
But we did not yet include the ability to cancel orders
In this version;
when there is a new buy signal, it will send an alert to cancel any past sell orders
in the next version we will include the ability to modify a buy order if there is a stop buy order already set up by the first buy signal and with "look for better" activated, if there is a change in price Sl and tp, we will cancel or modify the first order

Oct 30, 2024

Release Notes

// Beta 9.4.10
Breakthrough:
The problem: We were sending buy/sell stop orders but when a better signal, the second buy or sell signal appears, it would set a new order but won't delete the previous one .

Now, when there is a "look for better" signal. it will simultaneously delete the previous stop order and send a new order

The buy orders if not triggered will stay live until a sell signal is issues. (for now)

// Added Trade Cancel Logic for Buy/Sell Signals . When signal invalid reset the order levels. This should help with accurate signals generation for PineConnector.
// Better logic for Signal Generation and Trade Execution.
//- Enhanced Logic for cancelling trades
//- New States added for monitoring conditions past the point of a buy or sell signal
//- New logic added for whether to cancel trades on the next candle or when the signal itself is invalid. This will ensure we are not sitting on orders are obviously not needed anymore and should be cancelled without waiting for a new trend and opposite signal.

Release Notes for Beta Version 9.8 - THE FINAL BETA

Development Journey:

The ScalpMonster strategy originated from trading the DAX during the London open, utilizing simple logic.

Through continuous improvement and adaptation, it has evolved into a sophisticated algorithm capable of delivering consistent results.

The integration of Pineconnector in the latest beta version enhances automation by transmitting buy/sell signals, take profit and stop loss levels, and dynamic lot sizing directly to MT4/MT5 platforms.

The AIMS team remains committed to providing traders with a robust and reliable tool, continuously refining the ScalpMonster strategy to meet the evolving needs of the trading community.

Overview:
This release completes Version 9 of our AIMS Algo - Scalpmonster 3 - Pineconnector.

The focus has been on refining the way buy and sell signals are managed and communicated to Pineconnector for seamless trade execution in MT4/MT5. Below is a breakdown of the new and improved features, limitations, and future plans.

New Features and Enhancements:

Automated Signal Transmission:
The strategy now sends real-time buy and sell signals directly to Pineconnector, automating the execution process and ensuring trades align with signal logic.

Take Profit (TP) & Stop Loss (SL) Transmission:
Set take-profit and stop-loss levels are sent along with each signal, offering precise control over trade exits and improved risk management.

Dynamic Lot Sizing:
Risk levels are transmitted in lot sizes, allowing trades to automatically scale based on predefined risk parameters, enhancing flexibility and consistency in trade sizing.

Signal-Based Trade Cancellation:
Trades are automatically canceled if the initial signal becomes invalid, ensuring only active, high-confidence trades remain open.

Look-for-Better Entry Logic:
If the "Look for Better Entry" option is active, previous orders are promptly canceled and replaced by new ones, allowing the strategy to seek better price entries and maximize trade precision.

Known Limitations:

"Invalid Price" Error:
In scenarios where the signal triggers at high volatility or is too close to the current market price, brokers may return an "invalid price" error in MT4/MT5. Pineconnector will alert users if this issue arises.

Potential Workaround:
Implementing market orders instead of limit orders may bypass the price validation error. However, this may introduce new complexities, such as slippage or timing discrepancies, and will require additional testing.

Future Roadmap:

Following Beta Version 9.8, we are planning Public Preview Release Version 1.0. In preparation, we will:

• Explore additional order types and settings for Pineconnector to increase order flexibility.
  
• Implement extensive background testing on new features to ensure stability and compatibility across platforms.
  

A Final Note from the AIMS Team:

We appreciate your participation and feedback throughout this beta testing phase. Your insights have been invaluable in helping us create a robust trading tool. We’re excited to see how you leverage these new features, and as always, may the pips be with you!

Best Regards,
The AIMS Team
