A Greedy Strategy aggressively seeks maximum profits by capitalizing on short-term market movements. It often involves high-frequency trading with strict stop-loss and take-profit conditions.
// Greedy Strategy using Pine Script
//@version=5
strategy("Greedy Strategy", overlay=true)
// Define moving averages for trend identification
fast_ma = ta.sma(close, 5)
slow_ma = ta.sma(close, 20)
// Entry Condition: Buy when fast MA crosses above slow MA
longCondition = ta.crossover(fast_ma, slow_ma)
if (longCondition)
strategy.entry("Long", strategy.long)
// Exit Condition: Sell when fast MA crosses below slow MA
shortCondition = ta.crossunder(fast_ma, slow_ma)
if (shortCondition)
strategy.close("Long")
Momentum Strategy
The Momentum Strategy focuses on trading assets with strong price trends. It aims to ride the momentum in either direction based on technical indicators such as RSI, MACD, or moving averages.
// Momentum Strategy using Pine Script
//@version=5
strategy("Momentum Strategy", overlay=true)
// Define Relative Strength Index (RSI)
rsi = ta.rsi(close, 14)
// Entry Condition: Buy when RSI is above 50 (uptrend momentum)
longCondition = rsi > 50
if (longCondition)
strategy.entry("Long", strategy.long)
// Exit Condition: Sell when RSI is below 50 (downtrend momentum)
