Backtester (OSC)
Nov 21, 2023

The OSC Backtester is an innovative strategy script that allows users to create a wide variety of strategies using various unique oscillators.
By utilizing our 'Step' and 'Match' algorithms, users can create custom and complex strategy entries from each of the supported oscillators and included conditions, as well as any external sources, allowing users to create entries from a sequence of conditions and/or multiple matching conditions.
We included a complete alert system that will send a notification for each action taken by the strategy and we also allow users to set custom messages for each action taken by a strategy.
Features
Step & Match Algorithm
More complex entry rules can be created by using multiple conditions together, this is done thanks to the Step dropdown setting on the right of each condition.
The Step setting is directly related to the Step & Match algorithm and works in two ways:
- When two or more conditions have the same step number, both conditions are evaluated. Used to test matching conditions.
- When two or more conditions have different step numbers, each conditions will be evaluated in order, testing for the first step and switching to the next step once the previous one is true. When the final step is true the strategy will open a market order. Used to create sequence of conditions.
This operation is complementary, as you can create a sequence of conditions with one step consisting of two or more matching conditions as long as they have the same step number.
Fully Customizable Entries From Various Oscillators And Conditions
We allow the users to set entries using our unique HyperWave, Smart Money Flow, and their derived conditions as entries.
The Hyper Wave is a normalized adaptive oscillator aiming to reflect price trends without returning a high amount of noise.
The Smart Money Flow aims to detect trends based on market activity, by doing a comparative analysis between current volume and historical volume. A Smart Money Flow above 50 suggest market participants are bullish, else bearish. Derived from this oscillator we have Overflow indications, this indicator detects when market is overbought or oversold based on participants activity.
Other entries include proprietary reversal signals, real-time divergence detection, oscillator confluence (indicating how aligned each oscillator is), as well as entries using external sources.
Complete Alert System
Users can get alerted for any action executed by a strategy, from opening positions to closing them.
The message field in the Alert Messages setting section allows for the strategy to send a custom alert message depending on the action taken by the strategy, if no messages are set the strategy will send default messages.
Usage
Users can create a wide variety of strategies from this script, whether they are trend-following or contrarian traders.
Let's see a contrarian (revesal-based) strategy example using the following entry conditions:
- Long: Hyperwave bullish divergence and oversold Hyperwave (lower than 20).
- Short: Hyperwave bearish divergence and overbought Hyperwave (greater than 20).
We can also introduce take-profit and stop-loss exit conditions based on external indicators, allowing more control over exits in our strategy. For example:
- Long: Hyperwave crossing over 50 while money flow is bearish.
- Short: Hyperwave crossing under 50 while money flow is bullish.
- Exit Long on a profit (long exit tp): Hyperwave crossing 80.
- Exit Short on a profit (short exit tp): Hyperwave crossing 20.
While this strategy script can be used as a standalone, we recommend using other indicators creatively to assist with entries and exits as well as TP/SLs.
Our Step & Match algorithm can magnify interoperability, allowing for way more complete strategies through complex conditions, let's demonstrate this using the following entries:
- Long: Any bullish reversal occurring after the price crosses over the lowest upper reversal zone of the Signals & Overlays™.
- Short: Any bearish reversal occurring after the price crosses under the highest lower reversal zone of the Signals & Overlays™.
- Long TP/SL: 5 ATR's away from the entry price.
- Short TP/SL: 5 ATR's away from the entry price.
Strategy Properties (Important)
This script backtest is done on daily EURGBP, using the following backtesting properties:
- Balance (default): 10 000 (default base currency)
- Order Size: 10% of the equity
- Comission: 3.4 pips (average spread for EURGBP)
- Slippage: 3 tick
- Stop Loss: 0.02 points away from entry price
We use these properties to ensure a realistic preview of the backtesting system, do note that default properties can be different for various reasons described below:
- Order Size: 1 contract by default, this is to allow the strategy to run properly on most instruments such as futures.
- Comission: Comission can vary depending on the market and instrument, there is no default value that might return realistic results.
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 the strategies built are realistic.
