To make our community more profitable we decided to start a series in which we will review open-source TradingView strategies. The aim of the review is to select a strategy (or a number of strategies) from TradingView and run a reality check on it, optimise them and convert into alerts, so you can set it up as a bot on Wunderbit Trading platform.
This week we decided to go with the new MACD strategy for the Bitcoin Perpetual (BTC-Perp). This strategy is based on the trend-following momentum indicator. Similarly to our RSI-VWAP version 2 we included the Money Flow index as an additional point for entry. This strategy shows a good stable profit curve and has a significant number of observations in the backtest to confirm the results.
