No. Each market and time frame requires different settings to produce a profitable backtesting result. Hence it would not make sense to fine-tune any of the strategies, as everyone will be using them on various markets/timeframes.

At the moment, we do not.

While every attempt has been made to make the strategies as accurate as possible, you should be aware that the use of the strategies does not constitute financial advice. You should never risk more money trading than you can afford to lose. Most retail traders lose money in the long term. The strategies are not part of a get-rich-quick scheme; they are simply tools in your trading toolbox. The strategies should be used for educational purposes only; to help you understand how your decisions (like how much money you risk per trade) can affect your long-term trading success. We created these strategies to free you from having to backtest manually. We do not claim that using the strategies will make you any money. They are to be used to see if a particular trading strategy would have worked in the past. Please keep in mind that just because you have found a specific configuration that appears profitable in the past, there is no guarantee that those settings will perform the same in the future. If you base your trading decisions on what the strategy is doing, please remember that you do it at your own risk. It is your responsibility to keep an eye on your trades. Sometimes the entry/exit alerts are not delivered on time / at all due to various reasons.

The scripts use a combination of technical analysis indicators to decide whether it is a good time to enter a trade.

Once a position is open, it will be closed as soon as the take profit or the stop loss is hit (or if an early position exit condition becomes true).

Each script has its own set of indicators. Some use an EMA & ATR; others use Divergences & Stochastic RSI crosses.

The technical analysis indicators used in the strategies are all well documented on the internet.

We do not keep any of the indicators used secret. Every indicator is called by its well-known name. For further information please see the next question.

We build indicators that use well-known technical analysis algorithms for producing buy and sell signals. When you use our indicators, you will fully understand why the indicator produces a buy or a sell signal.

Most companies that sell trading indicators online tend to provide traders with tools that function as a black box . A black box is a system that produces information without revealing anything about its inner working. Once you add such an indicator to your chart, all you have to do is to sit back and wait for the buy/sell signals to pop up. Once they show up, you have no idea why a particular signal appeared. This is because you don't know what algorithm the indicator uses to produce those signals; the company considers the algorithm proprietary. Because of this, people tend to think that the makers of such indicators possess knowledge that others don't. This is rarely the case, however. Instead, what usually happens is that they repackage well-known, decades-old technical analysis indicators (e.g. they rename Bollinger Bands' upper and lower bands to "Northern Cloud" and "Southern Cloud") and sell them as their own creation. Unsuspecting beginner traders buy into this apparent magic, and they assume they have found the Holy Grail of trading.

On the other hand, there are systems that are fully open & transparent, with their inner working entirely exposed to the user.

These are called white-box systems.

We at Whitebox Software believe in transparency. We believe that magic has no place on the charts. Technical analysis has no magic to it, after all. On a standard candlestick chart, there are five pieces of information available to everyone: the open, high, low, and close prices of each candle and the volume that was traded during those candles. Every technical analysis indicator sold on TradingView uses some or all of these values to suggest whether it considers a particular asset being bullish or bearish.

The indicators and strategies we built all use a combination of well-known, documented, decades-old algorithms to produce their signals. We call each indicator by its name, so you don't have to wonder why the script decided to open a position.
