Introduction

In the dynamic sphere of TradingView, AI-powered tools like the AI Moving Average are transforming the way we trade. This deep dive explores how Botify, a no-code strategy backtester, can utilize the AI Moving Average to create robust trading strategies.

Understanding the AI Moving Average

The AI Moving Average is a handy indicator available on TradingView that traders leverage to craft more informed trading strategies. To access this tool, just navigate to the data tab on your chart.

Building a Botify Strategy with AI Moving Average

With Botify, you can construct your strategy around the AI Moving Average. The strategy revolves around conventional ‘if-else’ statements — when the base crosses over the second indicator, it’s time for long trades. If it crosses under, it’s time for short trades. By understanding these price-plot interactions, you can identify potential trade entry points with precision.

Implementing a Forced Exit in Your Botify Strategy

A key feature of the Botify strategy, using the AI Moving Average, is the ability to incorporate a forced exit. This involves setting up a condition opposite to our initial entry condition, compelling an exit if the trade begins to move in an unfavorable direction.

Incorporating Stop Loss with the AI Moving Average

A unique component of the AI Moving Average strategy on Botify is setting your stop loss to the value of one of the indicators. This could be an Average True Range (ATR) value or a percentage. I prefer using a custom stop loss indicator, setting the stop loss at the slower moving average.

Backtesting Trading Strategies with Botify

The essential phase in any trading strategy is testing. That’s where Botify, the powerful no-code strategy backtester I built for TradingView, comes into play. Botify allows you to backtest any trading strategy, be it private or open-source, and then connect it to bots to automate the entire process. This ensures that our AI Moving Average strategy is thoroughly tested and reliable.

AI Moving Average vs. Traditional Moving Averages: A Botify Test

When pitted against traditional moving averages on TradingView, the AI Moving Average doesn’t provide consistent superior performance. It doesn’t achieves a higher win rate and a more favourable equity curve. In the video I have gone over 10 pairs and compared on a split screen.

Conclusion

While the AI Moving Average is an intriguing tool, its value is truly unlocked when incorporated into a Botify strategy. Despite the potential challenges its unpredictability can present, for those keen on integrating AI tools into their TradingView strategies, Botify’s use of the AI Moving Averages is worth exploring.
