Meanward · trading systems for TradingView

Trading systems you configure, backtest and understand yourself.

For people with a day job and a risk budget. I build them, and I trade them on my own account.

How it makes money

The mechanics

Where the money comes from: price that runs far from its average tends to come back. The strategy enters on that stretch, adds if price keeps going (the averaging cascade) and exits at a take-profit measured from the average entry. Every rule is a setting you can read and change. What it costs you: when price doesn't come back, the adds pile into a stuck position. That's the drawdown, and it's on every card below.

Built and backtested on crypto perpetuals. The logic doesn't depend on the market, and Binance and Bybit also list perpetuals on stocks, ETFs and commodities, 200+ on each. I haven't backtested those yet, and the connector hasn't traded them. Backtests are next.

CONSENSUS 500 (500)CONSENSUS 2000 (2500)TP
Fig. 1. One trade. Price stretches into the lower zone of the channel and CONSENSUS fires (FADE plus at least 2 more confirmations): the strategy opens a long with 500 USDT. Price drops further, the next CONSENSUS adds 2,000, and the take-profit (the purple line) moves down with the average entry. Price bounces, the position closes. Order sizes, the number of adds, the distance between them, the take-profit: all settings.

Drawings, not market data. They show the idea when it works. When price doesn't bounce, the adds leave you in a stuck position. That's the drawdown, and I write about those too.

Backtests

How they were run: the TradingView strategy tester with Deep Backtesting, Meanward Revert Strategy v1.48. 78 Binance USDT perpetuals traded as one account: 100 USDT first order, 10x leverage, 0.04% fees per order, 1 tick slippage. Return includes positions still open on the last day, at that day's price. Drawdown is the whole account's equity, minute by minute, open positions included.

My picks, so yes, the good ones. A backtest isn't a forecast. How I backtest, and what a backtest can't tell you

How to get it

The connector

It's a separate subscription: Platform or Platform Expert. The strategy decides, the connector runs your alerts exactly as sent, on your own exchange account. My own account runs through it every day.

connector: early access, set up from your account

  1. 1. Alert

    Your strategy fires an alert from your own TradingView account to your personal connector URL.

  2. 2. Order

    The connector checks your plan and position limits, then sends a market order.

  3. 3. Your exchange

    The order fills on your own account. The take-profit goes there too, as a regular order, so it stays put even if the connector goes down.

  4. 4. Telegram

    Every order and the exchange's answer land in your Telegram. The full log is in your account under Trades.

What it never does

  • Withdraw or transfer. The key you give it has no rights for that.
  • Trade on its own. No alert, no order.
  • Show your keys. They're stored encrypted and never displayed again, to you or to me.

Your off switch is the API key: revoke it on the exchange and nothing trades.

Exchanges

  • Binance · USDT-M futuresI run mine herelive
  • Bybit · USDT perpetualscoming
  • Hyperliquid · USDC perpetualscoming

Hyperliquid holds one net position per symbol, so Expert hedging doesn't run there.

Limits by plan

  • Platform: every order goes out at the size the strategy sends. No hedging.
  • Platform Expert: the same. Hedging of a stuck position ships with the next connector release.

How the connector works

Set it up on TradingView

About 30 minutes of your time, plus the wait for access to the scripts. Each step has a page in the docs.

  1. Step 1: Request access2 min

    Message me on Telegram with your exact TradingView username. Access to the scripts is granted by hand.

    In the docs: Request access

  2. Step 2: Add the strategy8 min

    Indicators → Invite-only scripts → Meanward Revert Strategy. The defaults are the Balanced preset, what I run; Conservative is the same at half the order size. Set Start time to today. The risk is yours to set: pick the cascade your account can carry.

    In the docs: Add the strategy

  3. Step 3: Read the drawdown5 min

    The strategy tester shows the backtest on your pair. Max drawdown (equity) on the dashboard is the number to size your account against. The net isn't.

    In the docs: Read the drawdown

  4. Step 4: Create one alert3 min

    The step most people haven't done before. One alert per chart: condition "Any alert() function call", the webhook URL from your account, message left as is. An alert is a snapshot of the settings: change an input and you create the alert again.

    In the docs: Create one alert

  5. Step 5: Connect the exchange10 min

    Subscribe to Platform, then in your account: exchange keys with withdrawals off, then Telegram. When the first signal fires, compare the label on the chart with the position on the exchange.

    In the docs: Connect the exchange

Indicator only? Steps 1 and 2 with Meanward Revert Signals, and you're done. Its alerts notify you, they don't trade. Indicator setup

What you need on TradingView

  • Indicator: any TradingView plan, free Basic included. Its alerts need a paid plan.
  • Strategy with the connector: a plan with webhook alerts, Essential or higher, with two-factor authentication on.
  • One alert runs one symbol, so your plan sets how many: 20 on Essential, 100 on Plus, 400 on Premium. On Essential and Plus an alert expires after 2 months.
  • I use Premium: alerts don't expire, and Deep Backtesting is what my backtests run on.

TradingView plans as of Oct 15, 2026. They change; the current list is on tradingview.com/pricing.

Why I built it

I lost $17,000 trading by hand after 20 years in the markets. So I moved my rules into code.

It was October 2025. No black swan, no exchange outage. Just me, trading by hand and breaking my own money management rules. And yes, that's after 20 years in the markets.

The first lesson was cheaper, by the way. 2005, forex, x100 leverage, a $500 deposit that was all the money I had. Gone. Clearly it didn't stick, hehe.

What I finally admitted after October is a bit embarrassing: knowing the rules was never my problem. I know them fine. I'm just exactly the guy who breaks them.

So I took the buttons away from myself. The rules live in code now, and my own algorithmic systems do the clicking on my real account, around the clock. I still decide what the rules are. I just don't get to improvise in the middle of a trade anymore.

A bit about who's writing this. I'm not a finance guy: no degree in it, nothing formal. I've been running IT businesses for 21 years, and today it's an e-commerce company in solar energy. Sitting at charts all day was never an option, which is the other reason everything is automated.

I treat trading as venture risk: a capped slice of capital, systematic, automated. My cap for high-risk stuff is 15%. That's my number, not advice. Your age, income and nerves are different from mine.

At some point the systems got a name: Meanward. The first one is Meanward Revert, a mean-reversion indicator and strategy for TradingView, and it's the one trading my account right now.
