Say you put CCI (Commodity Channel Index) on your chart and traded every signal for the last 90 days. Here is how the default 20 · -100 · 100 did, side by side with every other setting combination under the same conditions. We ran all 1,400 setting combinations on 10 coins (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, BNB, DOGE, ADA, LINK, SUI and HYPE) across 15m, 30m, 1h and 4h, with a 0.11% fee taken out of every trade. The figures in this post are as of 2026-10-27, and every result is recomputed nightly with fresh data. How does CCI work? The Commodity Channel Index (CCI) was introduced by Donald Lambert to track cycles in commodity markets. It takes the typical price (hlc3, the average of high, low and close), measures how far it sits from its moving average over the same period, and divides that gap by the mean deviation scaled by Lambert's constant. TradingView's default length is 20. Despite the name, CCI is now used on stocks, forex, crypto and pretty much any market. The scaling is meant...

Is the default BB+RSI (Bollinger + RSI Double Strategy, ChartArt v1.1) good enough? TradingView loads BB+RSI with 200 · 2 · 6 out of the box, so we checked how those exact inputs held up in the latest market. We ran all 1,000 setting combinations on 10 coins (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, BNB, DOGE, ADA, LINK, SUI and HYPE) across 15m, 30m, 1h and 4h, with a 0.11% fee taken out of every trade. The figures in this post are as of 2026-10-25, and every result is recomputed nightly with fresh data. What is BB+RSI? BB+RSI is a ChartArt strategy on TradingView built around a “double” condition: it acts only when Bollinger Bands and the Relative Strength Index give a signal on the same bar. Bollinger Bands center on a simple moving average of the close with bands a set number of standard deviations away, while RSI turns the ratio of recent gains to losses into a 0 to 100 momentum reading. The buy side needs two things on one bar: the close crossing back up through the lower band, and RSI crossing a...

Say you put BB+RSI (Bollinger + RSI Double Strategy, ChartArt v1.2) on your chart and traded every signal for the last 90 days. Here is how the default 200 · 2 · 6 did, side by side with every other setting combination under the same conditions. We ran all 1,000 setting combinations on 10 coins (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, BNB, DOGE, ADA, LINK, SUI and HYPE) across 15m, 30m, 1h and 4h, with a 0.11% fee taken out of every trade. The figures in this post are as of 2026-10-24, and every result is recomputed nightly with fresh data. How does BB+RSI work?

BB Breakout (Bollinger Bands Breakout Strategy, TradeChartist) behaved very differently by timeframe. Over the past 90 days, 64% of setting combinations finished positive after fees on 4h, but only 24% did on 15m. We ran all 1,960 setting combinations on 10 coins (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, BNB, DOGE, ADA, LINK, SUI and HYPE) across 15m, 30m, 1h and 4h, with a 0.11% fee taken out of every trade. The figures in this post are as of 2026-10-23, and every result is recomputed nightly with fresh data. What does BB Breakout actually measure? BB Breakout is a Bollinger Bands breakout strategy published on TradingView by TradeChartist. Bollinger Bands put a simple moving average of the close in the middle and draw an upper and lower band a set number of standard deviations away. The bands widen when volatility rises and tighten when it fades, which makes them a common yardstick for whether price has moved outside its usual range. This strategy reads the bands as a trend trigger rather than a mean...

Is the default Supertrend+EMA (Supertrend + EMA Trend Filter Strategy) good enough? TradingView loads Supertrend+EMA with 10 · 1.8 · 200 · False · False · 4 · 8 · False · 14 · 14 · 20 out of the box, so we checked how those exact inputs held up in the latest market. We ran all 1,000 setting combinations on 10 coins (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, BNB, DOGE, ADA, LINK, SUI and HYPE) across 15m, 30m, 1h and 4h, with a 0.11% fee taken out of every trade. The figures in this post are as of 2026-10-22, and every result is recomputed nightly with fresh data. What is Supertrend+EMA? Supertrend+EMA is based on the public TradingView script “BTCUSD Supertrend + EMA Trend Filter”. Supertrend is a trend-following tool that places bands ATR times a multiplier away from the bar midpoint and flips direction when the close breaks a band. This strategy uses that moment of change, the flip, as its entry trigger. A flip on its own will also fire against the larger trend, so an exponential moving average is lay...

Say you put Supertrend MTF (Daily Supertrend + Moving Average Cross Strategy, Supertrend MTF, Daveatt) on your chart and traded every signal for the last 90 days. Here is how the default 3 · 3 · 7 · 20 did, side by side with every other setting combination under the same conditions. We ran all 1,000 setting combinations on 10 coins (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, BNB, DOGE, ADA, LINK, SUI and HYPE) across 15m, 30m, 1h and 4h, with a 0.11% fee taken out of every trade. The figures in this post are as of 2026-10-21, and every result is recomputed nightly with fresh data. How does Supertrend MTF work? Supertrend MTF is a strategy Daveatt published on TradingView that pairs a higher-timeframe Supertrend with a simple moving average crossover. The Supertrend is calculated on daily bars, and each chart bar receives the value from the last completed day, so an unfinished day never leaks into the signal. Bands sit ATR times Factor away from the daily bar midpoint, and the direction flips when the clos...

Supertrend CCI (Supertrend CCI Strategy, Daveatt) behaved very differently by timeframe. Over the past 90 days, 53% of setting combinations finished positive after fees on 4h, but only 0% did on 15m. We ran all 1,400 setting combinations on 10 coins (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, BNB, DOGE, ADA, LINK, SUI and HYPE) across 15m, 30m, 1h and 4h, with a 0.11% fee taken out of every trade. The figures in this post are as of 2026-10-20, and every result is recomputed nightly with fresh data. What does Supertrend CCI actually measure? Supertrend CCI is a strategy published on TradingView by Daveatt. It keeps the familiar Supertrend bands but hands the trend decision to the Commodity Channel Index instead of the closing price. Bands are drawn above and below the bar midpoint (hl2) at a distance of ATR times Factor, and the trend is up while CCI sits above its midline and down while it sits below. The lower band trails price in an uptrend, the upper band in a downtrend. In a classic Supertrend, price...

Say you put BBP (Bull Bear Power) on your chart and traded every signal for the last 90 days. Here is how the default 13 did, side by side with every other setting combination under the same conditions. We ran all 760 setting combinations on 10 coins (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, BNB, DOGE, ADA, LINK, SUI and HYPE) across 15m, 30m, 1h and 4h, with a 0.11% fee taken out of every trade. The figures in this post are as of 2026-10-18, and every result is recomputed nightly with fresh data. How does BBP work? Bull Bear Power (BBP) is built on Alexander Elder's Elder-Ray Index. It uses an exponential moving average (EMA) of the close as a baseline: the high minus the EMA is Bull Power, and the low minus the EMA is Bear Power. TradingView's built-in BBP adds the two together and plots the sum as a histogram around a zero line. A positive BBP means the bar's high and low lean above the average, so buyers have the upper hand; a negative value means sellers are in control. A zero-line c...

BB (Bollinger Bands) behaved very differently by timeframe. Over the past 90 days, 90% of setting combinations finished positive after fees on 4h, but only 11% did on 15m. We ran all 1,400 setting combinations on 10 coins (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, BNB, DOGE, ADA, LINK, SUI and HYPE) across 15m, 30m, 1h and 4h, with a 0.11% fee taken out of every trade. The figures in this post are as of 2026-10-17, and every result is recomputed nightly with fresh data. What does BB actually measure? Bollinger Bands (BB) are a volatility tool developed by John Bollinger. The middle line is a simple moving average of the close, and the upper and lower bands sit a multiple of the standard deviation of the close above and below it. TradingView's defaults are a length of 20 and a multiplier of 2. The bands widen when volatility rises and tighten when the market calms down. A touch of the lower band means price has stretched further below its recent average than usual. That makes it a common trigger for ...

Is the default Aroon (Aroon Indicator) good enough? TradingView loads Aroon with 14 out of the box, so we checked how those exact inputs held up in the latest market. We ran all 720 setting combinations on 10 coins (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, BNB, DOGE, ADA, LINK, SUI and HYPE) across 15m, 30m, 1h and 4h, with a 0.11% fee taken out of every trade. The figures in this post are as of 2026-10-16, and every result is recomputed nightly with fresh data. What is Aroon? Aroon is a trend indicator developed by Tushar Chande; the name comes from the Sanskrit word for "dawn's early light." Within a lookback window it counts how many bars have passed since the highest high and since the lowest low, producing two lines: Aroon Up and Aroon Down. If the high was just made, Aroon Up sits at the top of its range; the older the high, the lower the line. Both lines are expressed as percentages. A high Aroon Up with a low Aroon Down points to an uptrend where fresh highs keep coming, and the r...

Say you put AO (Awesome Oscillator) on your chart and traded every signal for the last 90 days. Here is how the default 5 · 34 did, side by side with every other setting combination under the same conditions. We ran all 1,680 setting combinations on 10 coins (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, BNB, DOGE, ADA, LINK, SUI and HYPE) across 15m, 30m, 1h and 4h, with a 0.11% fee taken out of every trade. The figures in this post are as of 2026-10-15, and every result is recomputed nightly with fresh data. How does AO work? The Awesome Oscillator (AO) is a momentum indicator created by Bill Williams. It takes the median price of each bar, the average of high and low (hl2), and builds two simple moving averages from it: a short one and a long one. AO is simply the short SMA minus the long SMA. On TradingView the defaults are 5 and 34, and the result is drawn as a histogram swinging above and below a zero line. When AO sits above zero, the recent midpoint of price is higher than its longer-term average; b...
