APEX — Basic TradingView Indicators
Welcome to this article explaining the use of basic tradingview scripts for finetuning your strategy with the APEX trading bot. If you’re not a beginner then you know very well how to add an indicator if not do the following steps:
Go to Scripts on tradingview.com and search for apex.
You will then get all the script on tradingview that are currently set to work with apex. I would advise you to add those into your favorites and you are all set to make your own trading algo.
A complete list of basic indicators can be found here (links to scripts):
RSI
Stochastic
Stochastic RSI
CCI
Bollinger Bands
MACD
Moving Averages
Percentage Change
VWAP
All the indicators have been tagged on purpose with the apex tag and its code is free to reuse under the protection of MIT license. As long as you are not reselling the code you may use anything and everything. Should anyone be reselling any part of my code please hit me a DM.
After you have added one of the indicators. I will explain the basic UI with an example on the RSI indicator. After adding the RSI it should pop in a couple seconds under the main chart.
Now let's have a look at these settings you can do for each and individual of these indicators. Please look at the UI Below.
The first line is only a visual checkbox it does nothing but you may check it if you like. Unfortunately, there is no UI element for that.
After that, you will see I have put each individual indicator in one block. Therefore we can always say one UI block always belongs together.
The individual indicators have 3–4 buy UI blocks that are connected with AND condition only and at least one sell UI Block. Meaning if you have 2 selected highlighted area has to be true for both.
To turn the block active simply check the last checkbox described with “turn ON” in each UI Block. Disabling it will hide both lines from the trading view and decision from the logic itself.
If you are using a different time frame on the chart and need a different one for the indicator please Check the Check To Turn ON Different Time Frame Checkbox.
Generall a buy signal or an area is highlighted green or with a green triangle below. Sell signal is highlighted red with a red triangle above the candles. All these Graphical Setting can be more Personalized here:
There is one following think I want to add as an explanation of what to expect and what to not expect. You will never have 1:1 exact entry in all cases. You have to acknowledge that APEX uses constantly changing data stream whereas Tradingview uses only historical Candle data.
That being said be aware that some detectors where price cross is required mark the whole area even when only a wick is above. You have to understand that it only triggers when the prices cross above and not for the whole candle.
Guide for the more advanced scripts can be found here.
