This is version 2 of my Forex Master algorithm originally posted here: BACKTEST CONDITIONS: Initial equity = $100,000 (no leverage) Order size = 100% of equity Pyramiding = disabled TRADING RULES: Long entry = EMA5(RSI20) cross> 50 Profit limit = 50 pips Stop loss = 50 pips Short entry = EMA5(RSI20) cross< 50 Profit limit = 50 pips Stop loss =...
This is a simple swing trading algorithm that uses a fast RSI-EMA to trigger buy/cover signals and a slow RSI-EMA to trigger sell/short signals for SPY, an xchange-traded fund for the S&P 500. The idea behind this strategy follows the premise that most profitable momentum trades usually occur during periods when price is trending up or down. Periods of flat price...
This strategy combines the classic stochastic strategy to buy when the stochastic is oversold with a classic MACD strategy to buy when the MACD histogram value goes above the zero line. Only difference to the classic stochastic is a default setting of 71 for overbought (classic setting 80) and 29 for oversold (classic setting 20). Therefore this strategy goes...
ATTENTION: This is a symmetrical algorithm designed only for trading EUR/USD on the 1h time frame. For other currency pairs and time frames, you need to re-calibrate the RSI-EMAs as well as the profit targets and stop losses. BACKTEST CONDITIONS: Initial equity = $100,000 (no leverage) Order size = 100% of equity Pyramiding = disabled TRADING RULES: Long...
This is only a slight modification to the existing "MACD Strategy" strategy plugin! found the default MACD strategy to be lacking, although impressive for its simplicity. I added "year>2014" to the IF buy/sell conditions so it will only backtest from 2015 and beyond ** . I also had a problem with the standard MACD trading late, per se. To that end I modified the...
Here is a combination of the classic MACD (moving average convergence divergence indicator) with the classic slow moving average SMA with period 200 together as a strategy. This strategy goes long if the MACD histogram and the MACD momentum are both above zero and the fast MACD moving average is above the slow MACD moving average. As additional long filter the...
This simple RSI-MA long/short algorithm beats the Dow by a FREAKING HUGE margin over the past century (excluding dividends and trading costs). The algorithm uses a fast SMA of the RSI as a buy/cover signal and a slow SMA of the RSI as a sell/short signal. Backtest period = 09/17/1916 - 11/02/2015 Dow = 98 --> 17,830 = +18,094% = 5.38% CAGR Algorithm = net...
Included adaptive lot size based on ATR, and also ATR based stop and take profit levels. Risk/reward increased to 1:2 and should work in all ranging FX pairs as long as they are not trending. Once the market starts trending it'll eat this bot alive. Cheers, Ivan Labrie Time at Mode FX
Here's the last version...quick hack job. I'm sure it can be improved, but this is a rough sketch, code wise. The strategy works in range bound enviroments, so cointegrated pairs like AUDCAD will shine with it. Cheers, Ivan Labrie Time at Mode FX
Still working on fixing the code 100%. Will update with a new version soon. This one's fine tuned for gold (tp and sl size, and contract size for a 100k account) Cheers, Ivan Labrie Time at Mode FX
Just a test...I'm not sure this will work 100%. I think the backtest is flawed (the exit parameters look suspicious) Anyway, the strategy does make sense, maybe in live trading it'll toss good signals. Can we apply it to our demo account here? (trading panl) Anyone?
