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

Sorry, changed the date, all started from october 13th but still discrepancies happened.

The live strategy did not get the two trades as the backtest did it…

Anyone any idea?

Thx.

what i noticed, if you stop the strategy and re-start it again for some time it works. maybe that helps us to find the problem

Not much to say… I should have taken theses losses for sure. Actually, I lossed 60 pts today with this one (stop triggered) … That’s a tough game… and painful 🙁

Proper money management helps going through these drawdowns.

I’ve started a thread to see what would be the solution to this issue.

Thx
