A forex trend breakout code

A forex trend breakout code

Hello,

At the request of Ashley, I tried to backtest a strategy.

It was a failure on M15 and H1.
But the code works well for these conditions :

  • H4 timeframe
  • EUR/USD
  • only long positions (works not great with shorts)

On H1, we must use “sell limit” instead of “buy stop”, it works with it !

So this code isn’t my best strategy of course, but the equity curve is sexy 🙂

    Hello,
    Someone asked me something (his results seemed to be different) on my email, but it was a “donotreply” adress.
     
    Here is my answer :
    Hello,
    There is no error, your backtest is true.
    But you backtested it from april 2012, my backtest begins before 2000.
    So the equity curved seemed to be different, but it’s the same for the same period.
     
    See my picture here :

    Best regards,
    Marc
