1 Min Trading Strategy

juanj · Thu, 13 Jul 2017 11:29:26 +0000

Good Day, I have seen many people asking for a 1 min trading strategy so I decided to make one. I personally don’t like HFT type strategies as the spread can really eat away at profits compared to a nice trend following strategy. The strategy is based on candle formations, along with a Long/Near Moving Average Trend Check and a RSI[2] check. The trigger is made by a Bullish (or Bearish) candle formation and if the MA and RSI checks are valid a position is opened in the direction of the trend. Some candle patterns are counter intuitive and hence some should be commented out (this would require some testing). It is currently configured for long only trades (although the code is included for short trades). I don’t think it is exceptionally effective, but maybe someone here can make something worthwhile out of it. Results on 1min for thr EUR/USD with spread set to 0.8: Defparam cumulateorders = false If longonmarket and close < positionprice and (barindex-tradeindex) > 650 Then Sell at market ElsIf shortonmarket and close > positionprice and (barindex-tradeindex) > 60 then Exitshort at market EndIf body=close-open abody=abs(body) if range>0 then ratio=abody/range else ratio=0 endif

Might try to optimize for commodities, but I’m not sure about trading hours for them (gold for example). Is it 24/7?

Trading hours for commodities are usually not 24/7 and can vary. You must look it up for every single one. Corn for example trades 01:00-19:20.

@Despair: Strange, Corn (1 eu contract) on my IG page says 02:00-14:15 and 15:30-20:20 for Sweden. If I check Avista Guld Mini (10 oz) it doesn’t say… I can see the price moving and since it’s weekend it might be 24/7 on that one?

@ozz87: You can see the trading hours directly in PRT. There’s a “i” at the top of every chart. And yes, vista gold trades 24h. I’m not sure about weekends though.

What I see odd here is that some guys here set the stop loss larger than the profit target. Some had it 1 to 10, this means one loss will wipe out 10 wins! I never go for such large stops with small profit target. Think probability!

Nicolas…a question for you=)

If I attivate also the signals for the sell what happens?

For example…I’m on the market with a buy trade and the system finds a sell signal….

Does it close the long trade and open the sell trade or it leaves open both in opposite directions?

….many thanks as usul=)

Hi all,

I like the concept of scalping, I am trying different concepts myself.

I read the topic and you agree that some days are long and other short, for that I found a useful condition for trade and filter those days

I do not have the time for trying for your strategy because I’m working on another algorithm, please let me know if you use this concept.

Here is the condition

verylongperiod=2000

conditionlong= weightedaverage[verylongperiod](close) > average[verylongperiod](close)

conditionshort= weightedaverage[verylongperiod](close) < average[verylongperiod](close)

verylongperiod=2000

conditionlong= weightedaverage[verylongperiod](close) > average[verylongperiod](close)

conditionshort= weightedaverage[verylongperiod](close) < average[verylongperiod](close)
