[pshaiBot] Bot Blueprint (ALPHA TEST)

Here is my take on bot blueprint!!

It has quite a lot of inner works and I intend on adding more later on. Unfortunately I cannot upload screenshots of the bot… Will add them later!

Read the full script file carefully to understand what happens and why, I have written lots of comments to help with that.

Features:

1. Ease-of-Use – All trade commands have default values so no matter what skill-level you are, you can easily start using this blueprint! If you want to skip/use default input values of any trading commands, simply give it a nil as input.
2. Customizable “events” – Whether an order is open, filled, partially filled of cancelled, there is a built-in “even” function that fires accordingly. These functions are empty at the moment and be customized to update custom stats or to run any other actions you need.
3. Chart Plots – Depending if you are running a backtest in the editor or a live bot, the plots done by bot are not forgotten; they are transformed into log messages when running a live bot and plotted normally in editor backtests!
4. “You cannot exit more than you have” – The exit functions will check your position size before putting through the exit orders. Consider it as “automatic reduce-only”.

Missing features:

1. Built-in inputs
2. Wallet checks
3. TP and SL systems
4. Proper custom reports and useful stats

Example of use (also included at the end of the script):

-- init/load our 'testBot'
local testBot = bot('testBot')

-- prices and simple moving average with plotting
local c = ClosePrices()
local sma = SMA(c, 50)
testBot.PlotLine(0, 'sma', sma)

-- some simple strategy to control how bot trades
if CrossOver(c, sma) then
    -- enable long and disable short entries
    testBot.EnableLongs()
    testBot.DisableShorts()
    
    -- exit open short position
    testBot.ExitShort()
elseif CrossUnder(c, sma) then
    -- enable short and disable long entries
    testBot.DisableLongs()
    testBot.EnableShorts()

    -- exit open long position
    testBot.ExitLong()
end

-- run the inner works of the bot
testBot.Run()

-- just endlessly entry longs and shorts when allowed
testBot.GoLong()
testBot.GoShort()

-- save bot info for next update
testBot.SaveBot()

Another example:

-- init/load our 'testBot'
local testBot = bot('testBot')

-- prices and simple moving average with plotting
local c = ClosePrices()
local sma = SMA(c, 50)
testBot.PlotLine(0, 'sma', sma)

-- some simple strategy to control how bot trades
if CrossOver(c, sma) then
    -- entry long
    testBot.GoLong()

    -- exit open short position
    testBot.ExitShort()
elseif CrossUnder(c, sma) then
    -- entry short
    testBot.GoShort()

    -- exit open long position
    testBot.ExitLong()
end

-- run the inner works of the bot
testBot.Run()

-- save bot info for next update
testBot.SaveBot()
