Hi Nicole,

Just following up here after our email back and fourth in case others find it helpful...

You should be able to create alerts in a similar way to how you did them on the Gold plan - the main difference is that you don't need the webhook to be configured at all (you can uncheck it) since we're not sending the alert to SignalStack for automation.  You can use the other notification settings to decide how you;d like to be alerted.

Also, have a look at these videos in the community section that might help:

Hope that helps!

When using the "Restrict Entry Time Window" functionality in the PRX Strategy on TradingView, the times entered are inclusive. Here's an example of how that works.

Calculating the Value of R: How the PRX Strategy Determines Position Size

A look at how the PRX Strategy calculates the value of 1 R when determining position size. As Dr Van Tharp taught, position sizing is what allows us to meet our objectives. As such, this is an important detail if you want your own trading to match the strategy backtests.

This was great help! My next question was how to do multiple times window, but you shown it, didnt realise there was such option to use. that is awesome!

Think I want to start collecting data once you release the slippage and comission video. But just currious in binance site they showing 0.1000%. When I input that in, the system will be a very negative returns. so im not 100% sure that is correct.

Hi Ludovic,

I'm happy you found this so helpful! It was a great question on your part and I think it will serve many other traders to follow who are interested in the same topic.

The slippage and commissions video comes out tomorrow. One note for you... in the video I talk about using prototyping as a way to gauge slippage. That can also be a good way to research the actual commissions as well in case you're not sure about the accuracy of what finance is saying on their site.

Hi all,

This video covers how to create, delete, and manage alerts for the PRX Indicator on TradingView. Note that I also cover how to update your alerts given the recent uplisting of GBTC to official ETF status.

Also, just a quick heads up of a couple other options on the alerts:

  1. If you want the alert to continue indefinitely rather than only just the next time the condition occurs you'll need to set the trigger to "Once Per Bar"

  2. If you're only interested in bullish moves you can select "Crossing Up" rather than "Crossing" when you set the condition

Hi Roland, thanks for the compliment and the question. I know it would be possible to set an alert for the PSAR flipping to the short side, but I don't know about an exit. I'm going to flag this for Jeff's attention, as he's got more knowledge in this area than I do. Thanks and cheers - Bill

GBTC Intraday with PRX Strategy v2.0

Hi All,

In this video we're highlighting how you can apply the new v2.0 version of the PRX Strategy to create some shorter term intraday flavors of the PRX System on GBTC like those we've been demonstrating on the community. We think you're gonna like the results and want to dive in deeper yourself!

We're making use of many of the new features in v2.0 like restricting the entries to only certain times of the day, setting the amount of leverage available on the account, ensuring we're not holding positions overnight, and more. These are available now to all Silver level subscribers so be sure to check it out or you can upgrade your subscription.

To get v2.0 you can simply create a new chart or layout and add the TSL: PRX Strategy and the new version will load by default. For more details on this check out the earlier post here: https://www.thesystemslabinc.com/community/topics/82339/posts/370458-prx-indicator-strategy-v2-0-released

Cheers,
