Breakeven- en trailingstop on different securities & indexes & forex

  Use breakeven- en trailingstop on different securities & indexes & forex

  I want it to work well in every scenario, regardless of forex, shares etc.

  So i’am testing one variable extra and called it underlaying.

  It seems I got it to work for SL & PT & BE.

  Underlaying1 is not meant to optimize. It’s either 0.01 0.1 1 10 100 depending on forex, index etc.

  With the right value the lines match the SL and PT. If that’s correct the BE value is correct too.

  i.e. use for gdpusd underlaying1=0.01 but for the dax underlaying1=100 and for shares 1.

  And so far no need to touch underlaying2

  I’am open for suggestions, for a cleaner code and a solution for the TS.

  // test trailingstop and breakeven on the dax defparam cumulateorders = false once enableSL = 1 // stop loss once enablePT = 1 // profit target once enableTS = 0 // trailing stop once enableBE = 1 // breakeven stop once displaySL = 1 // stop loss once displayPT = 1 // profit target once displayTS = 0 // trailing stop once displayBE = 1 // breakeven stop SL = 0.75 // % stop loss PT = 0.50 // % profit target TS = 0.35 // % trailing stop BESG = 0.25 // % break even stop gain BESL = 0.00 // % break even stop level // underlaying security / index / forex // profittargets and stoploss have to match the lines // 0.01 FOREX [i.e. GBPUSD=0.01] // 1.00 SECURITIES [i.e. aapl=1 ; // 100.00 INDEXES [i.e. dax=100] // XAUUSD = 100 // CL US Crude = 100 underlaying1=1 // SL & PT underlaying2=underlaying1/100 // BE [ don't change] //underlaying3=1 // reset at start if intradaybarindex=0 then longtradecounter=0 shorttradecounter=0 endif pclong = longtradecounter<1 pcshort = shorttradecounter<1 shortma = average[sm](close) longma = average[lm](close) // conditions to enter long positions l1 = (shortma crosses over longma) // conditions to enter short s1 = (shortma crosses under longma) if pclong and l1 then buy 1 contract at market longtradecounter=longtradecounter+1 endif if pcshort and s1 then sellshort 1 contract at market shorttradecounter=shorttradecounter+1 endif // trailing stop if enableTS then trailingstop = (tradeprice/100)*TS*pointsize if not onmarket then maxprice=0 minprice=close priceexit=0 endif if ((longonmarket and shortonmarket[1]) or (longonmarket[1] and shortonmarket)) then maxprice=0 minprice=close priceexit=0 endif if longonmarket then maxprice=max(maxprice,close) if maxprice-tradeprice(1)>=trailingstop*pointsize then priceexit=maxprice-trailingstop*pointsize endif endif if shortonmarket then minprice=min(minprice,close) if tradeprice(1)-minprice>=trailingstop*pointsize then priceexit=minprice+trailingstop*pointsize endif endif if longonmarket and priceexit>0 then sell at priceexit stop endif if shortonmarket and priceexit>0 then exitshort at priceexit stop endif if displayTS then graphonprice priceexit coloured(0,0,255,255) as "trailingstop" endif endif // break even stop if enableBE then if not onmarket then newsl=0 endif if ((longonmarket and shortonmarket[1]) or (longonmarket[1] and shortonmarket)) then newsl=0 endif if longonmarket then if close-tradeprice(1)>=(((tradeprice(1)/100)*BESG)/underlaying2)*pointsize then newsl=tradeprice(1)+(((tradeprice(1)/100)*BESL)/underlaying2)*pointsize endif endif if shortonmarket then if tradeprice(1)-close>=(((tradeprice(1)/100)*BESG)/underlaying2)*pointsize then newsl=tradeprice(1)-(((tradeprice(1)/100)*BESL)/underlaying2)*pointsize endif endif if longonmarket and newsl>0 then sell at newsl stop endif if shortonmarket and newsl>0 then exitshort at newsl stop endif if displayBE then graphonprice newsl coloured(244,102,27,255) as "breakevenstop" endif endif // to set & display profittarget if enablePT then set target %profit PT if displaypt then if not onmarket then ptarget=0 elsif ((longonmarket and shortonmarket[1]) or (longonmarket[1] and shortonmarket)) then ptarget=0 endif if onmarket then if longonmarket then ptarget=tradeprice(1)+((tradeprice(1)*PT)/underlaying1)*pointsize endif if shortonmarket then ptarget=tradeprice(1)-((tradeprice(1)*PT)/underlaying1)*pointsize endif endif graphonprice ptarget coloured(121,141,35,255) as "profittarget" endif endif // to set & display stoploss if enableSL then set stop %loss SL if displaysl then if not onmarket then sloss=0 elsif ((longonmarket and shortonmarket[1]) or (longonmarket[1] and shortonmarket)) then sloss=0 endif if onmarket then if longonmarket then sloss=tradeprice(1)-((tradeprice(1)*SL)/underlaying1)*pointsize endif if shortonmarket then sloss=tradeprice(1)+((tradeprice(1)*SL)/underlaying1)*pointsize endif endif graphonprice sloss coloured(255,0,0,255) as "stoploss" endif endif graph (positionperf*100)coloured(0,0,0,255) as "positionperformance"

  Just a bit more info on the above code;

  If the first position (long i.e.) goes down and a second position is added, it has the same exit trailing stop strategy as the first trade.

  Resulting in a smaller loss when hitting stoploss (not included here)  and a greater result when the 1st position reaches the trailing stop criteria.

   

  1st leg 0.35% gain to 0.45% and trailing-stop 0.35% is activated and uses default close

  2nd leg 0.45% gain to 0.60% and trailing-stop 0.25% is activated and uses high/low instead of close for better results

  3rd leg 0.60% gain or higher and trailing-stop 0.20% is activated and uses high/low instead of close for better results

   

  the switch levels are calculated from the trailing-stop values to reduce parameters.

  just some comparison test

  1% stoploss, trailing stop and no profit target

   

  running 2 positions everything the same

  VS

  1 position and adding another one only when 1st reached -.20% loss; stoploss both positions based on first position and trailing stop based on second position

   

  Bit less profit, but less drawdown, better gain/loss ratio and balanced average gain of winning and losing trades.

  Sounds great Paul, thank you for your time and skills and for sharing!

  Please forgive the daft question, but what is the 1st, 2nd and 3rd … anybody?

  there’s nothing to it. Some things on top, below and on the bottom in the strategy.

   

  With a trailing stop and stoploss working nicely, the only thing left is a good entry 🙂

  Function ghaph

  Hello, sorry for the ignorance on the subject, but I can’t understand what to remove in the ghaph function to make the strategy work automatically. I did tests but without success. Thanks for your help.

  Hi Fabiano

  You disabled too much.

  for real trading use this;

  //graphonprice sloss coloured(255,0,0,255) as "stoploss" sloss=sloss

  1 2	//graphonprice sloss coloured(255,0,0,255) as "stoploss" sloss=sloss

  same for the profittarget

  add  // before graphonprice for trailingstop and breakeven

  add // before graph

   

  Now for backtesting you wan to see the lines, so

  graphonprice sloss coloured(255,0,0,255) as "stoploss" //sloss=sloss

  1 2	graphonprice sloss coloured(255,0,0,255) as "stoploss" //sloss=sloss

  same for the profittarget.

  remove // before graphonprice for trailingstop and breakeven

  remove // before graph

  I attached 2 codes as example for real and the backtest to see the differences.

  just what I’am using now.

  Ditched the Breakeven strategy and use a 3 level trailing stop.

  same code, one for backtest and to see the difference one for real.
