General Info

Version

The version input is for displaying the published version of the indicator. It is intended to be for informational use only.

Link to TradingView Script & Documentation

This field contains the URL link to the TradingView script’s homepage and documentation webpage. The expectation is that you would copy the value and paste it into your browser’s address bar to navigate to the webpage.

Main Settings

Name

This field is equivalent to the “Name” field of the 3Commas Bot Settings page. It can be used to contain the value of the same input on the bot settings page to help correlate the indicator settings to bot settings when dealing with multiple bots.

Bot Type

This field is equivalent to the “Bot Type” field of the 3Commas Bot Settings page. The scripts will only support Single-pair option but it also displays the Multi-pair option for documentation purposes so you can keep track which configurations are for Multi-pair bots.

Exchange Buy Fee (%) & Sell Fee (%)

These fields do not have any equivalent fields on the 3Commas Bot Settings page because they already have the fee schedule integrated into their platform and also TradingView does not make available the fee schedule for a given symbol on the chart.

The value represents the exchange fee that is applied when the limit or market order(s) to buy or sell the asset is filled. The value of this field will be used to offset the Break-Even price on the chart, which the Take Profit and Stop Loss prices are relatively calculated against.

Deal Start Condition

Open New Trade

This field is equivalent to the “Open new trade asap” field of the 3Commas Bot Settings page. Possible values are:

• ASAP – This option will simulate the ASAP start condition in 3Commas.
  
• Trading View Custom Signal – This option will enable the use of the settings in the TV CUSTOM SIGNAL section.

Start Date/Time

The value of this field will set the date and time when the indicator will begin a deal as soon as possible. Nothing will be plotted to the chart before this time frame. When the input is used to specify a date/time that is within the chart’s time range, it will display a label and colored column to visualize the starting point…

Stop Date/Time

The value of this field will set the date and time when the indicator will close the active deal as soon as possible. Nothing will be plotted to the chart after this time frame. When the input is used to specify a date/time that is within the chart’s time range, it will display a label and colored column to visualize the ending point…

TV Custom Signal

Chart/Indicator Data Point

Use this input to link to a specific data point on an existing indicator on the chart or any OHLC data point. The value is then used for the ‘Start Deal When‘, ‘Close Deal When‘ or ‘The Value Of‘ inputs in defining the eligibility condition.

Fix N/A Values

When checked, the indicator will get the last know value from the Chart/Indicator Data Point only when the current value n/a. This is useful when linking to existing indicators on the chart that are configured for a time frame that is higher than the current chart, thus it is possible that the current bar’s value is n/a.

Strategy

Initial Capital (Indicator Only)

This field is only present for the Indicator version because the Strategy version has the Initial Capital field defined in the Properties tab.

The capital used by the script when back-testing and forward testing on real-time data.

Max Active Deals

This field is equivalent to the “Max active deals” field of the 3Commas Bot Settings page.

This field has no effect on the script performance and is simply here for documentation purposes.

Strategy

This field is equivalent to the “Strategy” field of the 3Commas Bot Settings page.

This field defines the strategy the bot is to use. Options include Long and Short.

Profit Currency

This field is equivalent to the “Profit Currency” field of the 3Commas Bot Settings page.

This field has no effect on the script performance and is simply here for documentation purposes.

Base & Safety Order Size Unit

Specify the unit for the “Base Order Size” and “Safety Order Size” inputs. Given a symbol of BTC/USDT, BTC is considered the “Base“, USDT is considered the “Quote“. A value of “% Quote” will treat the values as percentages (%) of the Initial Capital value plus the Net Profit value that is accumulated throughout the back testing (a.k.a. Compounding).

Base Order Size

This field is equivalent to the “Base order size” field of the 3Commas Bot Settings page.

Define the size of the first starter order.

Start Order Type

Defines the order type to use for the base order.

This input is only here to echo the exact setting in the bot settings page for documentation purposes only. This input will not affect the indicator performance in any way

Safety Orders

Safety Order Size

This field is equivalent to the “Safety order size” field of the 3Commas Bot Settings page.

The size of the following averaging orders.

Price Deviation To Open Safety Orders (% From Initial Order)

This field is equivalent to the “Price deviation to open safety orders (% from initial order)” field of the 3Commas Bot Settings page.

Defines the step in percentage between safety orders.

Max Safety Trades Count

This field is equivalent to the “Max safety trades count” field of the 3Commas Bot Settings page.

The maximum amount of safety orders the bot can use for one deal.

Max Active Safety Trades Count

This field is equivalent to the “Max active safety trades count” field of the 3Commas Bot Settings page.

Defines the amount of Safety Orders the bot is allowed to place in advance on the exchange’s order book for the asset being traded.

Note: This input is only here to echo the exact setting in the bot settings page for documentation purposes only. This input will not affect the indicator performance in any way.

Safety Order Volume Scale

This field is equivalent to the “Safety order volume scale” field of the 3Commas Bot Settings page.

Defines the value of this field defines the volume of each next safety order will be multiplied by this value.

Safety Order Step Scale

This field is equivalent to the “Safety order step scale” field of the 3Commas Bot Settings page.

Defines the value of this field defines the step between each next safety order will be multiplied by this value.

Take Profit

Take Profit (%)

This field is equivalent to the “Take profit (%)” field of the 3Commas Bot Settings page.

Defines how much profits the bot should make from each deal. All exchange fees are included automatically.

Take Profit Type

This field is equivalent to the “Take profit type” field of the 3Commas Bot Settings page.

If you configure the “percentage from base order” setting, the value of the profit will remain the same and will be calculated from the initial Base Order size. For example: Base Order $10, Take Profit 10% means that the profit will be $1 regardless of the amount of Safety Orders executed.

Alternatively, to calculate the Take Profit target percentage using the Dollar Cost Average price of the asset being traded, use the “percentage from total volume” setting, this will increase the value of the amount of profit taken if the deal uses multiple safety orders.

Trailing Deviation

This field is equivalent to the “Trailing deviation” field of the 3Commas Bot Settings page.

When checked, the indicator will trail behind the price action at a specific deviation percentage once the “Take Profit %” is reached, which acts as a trigger. This value should not exceed the “Take Profit %“, otherwise it’s possible to close the deal in a loss.

Set TP to Breakeven, after Safety Order No.

This field has no equivalent field on the 3Commas Bot Settings page. As a result, make sure to use the Close Deal Signal to ensure your position is closed from the indicator TradingView alert.

When checked, the indicator will adjust the Take Profit price to the Breakeven price after the safety order number that is provided is filled. For example, if you supply a value of 5 for this input then once Safety Order #5 is filled, the new Take Profit price will be the Breakeven price. Additional safety orders that are filled afterwards, will continue to use the Breakeven price for the Take Profit price

Set TP to __ %, on bars in deal __

This field has no equivalent field on the 3Commas Bot Settings page. As a result, make sure to use the Close Deal Signal to ensure your position is closed from the indicator TradingView alert.

When checked, the indicator will adjust the Take Profit price to the given percentage at the given number of bars in a deal has been reached. For example, if you supply a value of 0 for the new Take Profit percent and the number of bars in deal as 100 then the indicator will adjust the Take Profit price to be at breakeven when the 100th bar in a deal has been reached.

When price is beyond new TP price, then __

When using the previous field setting, a choice has to be made on the possible scenario that the current price action is beyond the new Take Profit price that was calculated. Possible values are:

• close position immediately
• set stop loss at new TP price

Close position immediately means that the script will market close the position immediately without delay.

Set stop loss at new TP price means that the script will enable the Stop Loss setting (if disabled) and set the stop loss price to be equal to the new calculated Take Profit price and continue the current position until either the Take Profit or Stop Loss price has been reached to close the position.

Stop Loss

Stop Loss (%)

This field is equivalent to the “Stop Loss (%)” field of the 3Commas Bot Settings page.

When checked, the bot will close deals in a loss when the price drops to or more than configured level. The bot calculates stop loss level from the base order price, not average deal entry price.

Stop Loss Action

This field is equivalent to the “Stop Loss action” field of the 3Commas Bot Settings page.

The bot can do different actions when the stop loss is triggered. Changing this setting doesn’t affect already opened deals. You should edit active deals individually when want to change the stop loss action.

Stop Loss Timeout (bars)

This field is equivalent to the “Stop Loss timeout” field of the 3Commas Bot Settings page.

The bot will perform an additional check when the price reaches Stop Loss price. After the specified amount of bars passes, the bot will check if the price is still below Stop Loss price. If yes, the bot closes the deal by market order. If not, the deal remains active.

Note: 3Commas uses seconds as the unit for this input, but this cannot be simulated in TradingView because to do so will require code that will make the indicator susceptible to repainting.

Advanced Settings

Don’t start deal(s) if the daily volume is less than

This field is equivalent to the “Don’t start deal(s) if the daily volume is less than” field of the 3Commas Bot Settings page.

When checked, the bot won’t open a new deal until the coin has more volume for the last 24 hours than entered here. Specified in Base units. Minimum value is 0 and the maximum unlimited.

Note: On charts with resolution times lower than one day, the indicator will calculate the number of historical bars to use to sum the volume to be roughly equal to 24 hours. On charts with resolutions times greater than or equal to one day, the indicator will simply use the previous bar’s volume value.

Minimum Price to Open Deal

This field is equivalent to the “Minimum price to open deal” field of the 3Commas Bot Settings page.

When checked, the bot won’t open a new deal if the current price is lower than the value specified. Minimum value is 0 and the maximum unlimited.

Maximum Price to Open Deal

This field is equivalent to the “Maximum price to open deal” field of the 3Commas Bot Settings page.

When checked, the bot won’t open a new deal if the current price is higher than the value specified. Minimum value is 0 and the maximum unlimited.

Cooldown Between Deals (bars)

This field is equivalent to the “Cooldown between deals” field of the 3Commas Bot Settings page. Instead of measuring seconds, it will count the number of bars on the chart.

When checked, the bot will wait this amount of bars after the deal is completed before starting a new trade. Minimum value is 0 and the maximum is 48.

Open Deals & Stop

This field is equivalent to the “Open deals & stop” field of the 3Commas Bot Settings page.

When checked, the bot will stop after completing the set number of deals. Minimum value is 0 and the maximum unlimited.

Simultaneous Deals Per Same Pair

This field is equivalent to the “Simultaneous deals per same pair” field of the 3Commas Bot Settings page.

This field has no effect on the script performance and is simply here for documentation purposes.

Verify Price For Limit Orders (ticks)

This field has NO equivalent to the fields on the 3Commas Bot Settings page.

When checked, the indicator only considers limit orders filled when prices move a certain number of ticks past the limit price.

Override Minimum Tick Precision

This field has NO equivalent to the fields on the 3Commas Bot Settings page

Defines the exchange’s price precision of the quote currency. The Break-even, Take Profit, Stop-loss and DCA layer prices will be adjusted according to the supplied precision value. There are 10 possible options:

• None – Using this option will simply default the precision to be the same as the syminfo.mintick value.
• 0.1 (tenth)
• 0.01 (hundredth)
• 0.001 (thousandth)
• 0.0001 (ten thousandth)
• 0.00001 (hundred thousandth)
• 0.000001 (millionth)
• 0.0000001 (ten millionth)
• 0.00000001 (hundred millionth)
• Custom – Using this option will require the Custom Tick Precision input to be used.

Custom Tick Precision

Defines the custom precision to use for price levels on the indicator. Some exchanges require a precision of 0.05 cents in USD, thus you would enter 0.05 into this field. The minimum value is 0 and the maximum is 5. A value of 0 will disable the use of this setting.

Method To Adjust To Precision

Defines the method to use when adjusting price precision. There are two possible values:

• Truncate – This option will cause the indicator to simply remove all values after the precision position.
• Round – This option will round the last signification position using the number value of the digit after the position. For example. if the precision is 0.01, then the value 1.015 will round to 1.02.

Close Deal After Timeout

Close Deal After Timeout

This field is equivalent to the “Close deal after timeout” field of the 3Commas Bot Settings page.

When checked, it will close the deal automatically, whether in profit or loss, if it hasn’t reached the Take Profit target configured.

The Time After Which, Deal Will Be Closed Automatically (In Bars)

This field is equivalent to the “The time after which, deal will be closed automatically” field of the 3Commas Bot Settings page.

Since the indicator cannot implement a timer like 3Commas (Min, Hrs, or Days), the unit is the number of bars for the current chart resolution that is allowed to elapse until the deal is closed automatically, whether in profit or loss, if it hasn’t reached the Take Profit target configured.

Any Alert() Function Call Settings (Indicator Only)

This section will cover inputs on the indicator version of the script that are not found on the strategy version.

Warning: This indicator uses the “barstate” variables therefore it will cause a repaint warning when creating alerts.

This is simply a warning message. The check-box has no function influence to the performance of the script.

TradingView has published documentation stating that the use of the barstate variables in any script will provoke a Warning message to display when creating an alert

Bot ID

After creating the bot on the 3Commas New Bot settings page, the My Bots page will display the Id for the bot. That is the value you supply to this field.

This field supports a comma-delimited list of values that will be parsed and be used in thei respective placeholders. If only a single value is used, you can use the {{bot_id}} placeholder for the value of the “Open Deal Signal Message” and “Close Deal Signal Message” inputs. Otherwise, placeholders like {{bot_id_1}}, {{bot_id_2}} … {{bot_id_10}} and beyond can be used in the “Open Deal Signal Message” and “Close Deal Signal Message” inputs.

In order to properly use multiple Bot IDs, you will need to use the JSON array format, like this:

Email Token

In “My Bots” tab, click the “view” icon next to your new bot. Scroll down and find the custom texts for TradingView alerts. You should see the email_token value in the “Deal Start Signal” or “Close order at Market Price” message.

The value of this field is then used to support the {{email_token}} placeholder for the value of the “Open Deal Signal Message” and “Close Deal Signal Message” inputs.

Use Custom Symbol

When checked, the indicator will use the symbol value provided to support the {{symbol}} placeholder. If not checked, the indicator will format the chart symbol as QUOTE_BASE for the {{symbol}} placeholder.

Open Deal Signal Message

When checked, the value of this input will be used as the message that is sent when the Open Deal alert triggered in the indicator. The default value is:

{"action":""add_funds_in_quote OR add_funds_in_base", "message_type":"bot","bot_id":"{{bot_id}}","email_token":"{{email_token}}","pair":"{{symbol}}","delay_seconds":0, "volume": {{safety_order_quote_volume}},"amount": {{safety_order_base_amount}}}

TP set to Breakeven after Safety Order No. Signal Message

When checked, the value of this input will be used as the message that is sent when the Take Profit is set to the Breakeven price upon the crossing of a specific safety order number as defined by the input with the same name above. The default value is:

The Take Profit price has been set to Breakeven price ({{break_even_price}}) after Safety Order No. {{count_of_filled_safety_orders}}

Custom Placeholders for Alert Messages

Each of the above inputs support custom placeholders that will be replaced with their real-time values before the message notification is sent out from TradingView. The supported placeholders are:

This field is equivalent to the “Balance” value on the 3Commas Bot Settings page. The value of this field is the same as the Initial Capital input from the Properties tab of the Strategy script and Initial Capital input from the Inputs tab of the Indicator script.

Max Amount for Usage (Based on current rate)

This field is equivalent to the “Max amount for bot usage (Based on current rate)” value on the 3Commas Bot Settings page.

It is an approximate calculation of the capital that is needed to support the Base Order Size and Safety Order Size along with the Max Count, Volume, and Scale setting values using the current market rates at the beginning of the chart. If the value exceeds the Balance value, the indicator will display a warning on the last bar on the chart, like this…

Max Safety Order Price Deviation

This field is equivalent to the “Max safety order price deviation” value on the 3Commas Bot Settings page.

Displays the maximum deviation from the average buy price to the last safety order level. This value is useful to define the Stop Loss value when enabled.

% Of Available Balance To Be Used By The Bot

This field is equivalent to the “% of available balance to be used by the bot” value on the 3Commas Bot Settings page.

Displays the percent of the Balance value that will be needed to the bot to support the base and safety orders as configured.

No. Of Deals Started

Displays a count value of all the deals that were started on the chart.

No. Of Deals Completed

Displays a count value of all the deals that were closed at the Take Profit, Trailing Take Profit, or Stop Loss price points.

Win / Loss Rate %

Displays the result of the following equation: [No. Of Deals Completed In Profit] / [No. Of Deals Started] X 100

Displays the result of the following equation: [No. Of Deals Completed In Loss] / [No. Of Deals Started] X 100

Daily P&L

Displays the average profit or loss percentage per day in deals and also the time period as defined by the Start Date/Time and Stop Date/Time inputs.

The equation for the P&L in deals is: ( ( [Net Profit] / [Initial-Capital] ) X 100 ) / [No-Of-Days-In-Deals]

The equation for the P&L in total is: ( ( [Net Profit] / [Initial-Capital] ) X 100 ) / [No-Of-Days-Between-Start-And-Stop-Date/Time]

Note: On charts with resolution times lower than one day, the indicator will calculate the number of historical bars to use to sum the profits and losses to be roughly equal to 24 hours. On charts with resolutions times greater than or equal to one day, the indicator will simply use the previous bar’s profit/loss value.

Max Drawdown

Displays the maximum drawdown percentage relative to the average buy price that a single deal experienced as well as the Deal # so that you can find the deal using the TradingView back tester since the order names contain the Deal # along with the Safety Order #.

Total Volume

Displays the total volume of the base and quote currencies that was utilized in all the deals. The number is updated after each deal is completed.

No. of Single Bar Entries & Exits

Displays the number of times a single bar entry and exit occurred in the chart history.

There exists a limitation in the TradingView Strategy Tester where it will not support an entry and exit to occur in a single bar. To overcome this issue, the script will also send the “close position” command along with the Take Profit limit order, which is processed by the Strategy Tester on the bar close. Here’s an illustration of this scenario…

No. of Base Order-Only Deals

Displays the number of deals that completed with only the base order being filled.

Mean, Median, Mode, Min, Max, Std. Dev., and Total Bars In Deals

Displays the mean (average), median (middle value), mode (most frequent value), minimum, maximum, standard deviation, and total of all the bar counts the indicator gathered when it was in a deal. The count will begin at the value of 1 (one) when the Base Order is filled. As each bar is completed, the count will increment by 1 (one) and be reset to zero when the deal is completed. These values will only update as soon as a deal is completed.

In addition, the value will display the number of years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds in parentheses.

Mean, Median, Mode, Min, Max, and Total of Safety Orders Filled

Displays the mean (average), median (middle value), mode (most frequent value), minimum, maximum, and total of all the Safety Orders that were filled. These values will only update as soon as a deal is completed.

No. of Safety Order # Filled

Displays a count value of all the Safety Orders that were filled by level index number. It will also show the ratio and percentage of the number of safety orders cracked to the sum of all safety orders cracked. These values will only update as soon as a deal is completed.

Using the 3C TA Starting Conditions Indicator

The 3Commas TA Start Conditions Indicator v1 indicator can be used to simulate 3Commas bot settings using the built-in indicators. This section will cover the details on how to use the TA Start Conditions indicator.

Setup the 3C TA Starting Conditions

In this example we will setup a Long DCA bot using the RSI-7 and ULT-7-14-28 standalone indicators with the 3C DCA bot to back test results on ETHUSD on a 10 minute chart.

The following are the 3C-TASC settings:

The indicator can be seen showing start deal signals below…

Setup 3C DCA Bot Indicator

Now that the 3C TASC indicator has been set up, we are ready to link it with the 3C DCA Bot indicator.

Open the settings and apply the following changes to the inputs…

Some of the values are not clearly seen because they get clipped due to the size of the input, but the following is a summary of the values:

With these new settings, you can now see the indicator will redraw and demonstrate that the signal is received and will start a new deal…

You can further adjust the settings in the 3C-TASC indicator to suit your needs before setting up the bot on 3Commas.
