Hi Jr.
One must define his own risk- but need to know how. If you trade 4 position with a 48 point SL, you are risking 192/5000*100=3,84%. it will continue until until your equity allow you to risk 3% with min 4 position, or you get a margin call.

Is the difference between V3 and V4 only the trailing stop settings?
05/12/2017 at 2:07 PM #35323Hey guys! Here are two new versions: one is for AUDUSD 30M and the other one is for Bund 30M.
I have gone down in periods for the fractal which generates a lot more trades than in previous systems. The AUDUSD doesn’t pass the WFR in current stage and needs some more love. I anyone of you find a solutions please let me know! The Bund version is more solid but there are still things left to try!

05/12/2017 at 2:21 PM #3533105/13/2017 at 6:31 PM #35443in V3 version I tried to use 3 different fractal level, CP 113 of the original version not filtered, while the others CP 108 and 100 filtered by a body>30 pip of the signal candles. I also added second take profit after 050000 PM. I’ve also enalrged trailing stop to 10
In v4 version I’ve added the possibility to open 2 contract instead 1 of the original version. Second contract open if the body>30 signal candles.
to this strategy on EURUSD, everything can be added.. 20 versions could be made..
My version Are only examples, nothing of perfect..

05/15/2017 at 10:36 AM #35564Thanks for your explanation Ale. Have you tried to change the variables depending on if the system is taking a long or short trade?
I have worked a bit more on the FBS on Bund and decided to split the system in long and short which gave a better combined return. New ideas on how to improve my versions are most appreciated.

05/15/2017 at 4:02 PM #3560805/16/2017 at 9:11 AM #35673@ Maz – I’ve taken your advise. Now when I’ve started to split long and short I understand why system developers do this. The possibilities to see (understand) your systems weaknesses and improve them are insane..
05/16/2017 at 12:29 PM #35701Yep, not only do you get better optimization ability you can also manage risk better too. You also get separate equity curves – a quick and easy snapshot of which side is performing better and what market conditions are better to what side.

05/27/2017 at 4:29 PM #36785FYI I have tried to use a short moving average as training stop for this type of strategy and it works better for some markets.

On 100 000 bars I have a promising result on bund 30 min and 1 h. The long side is however much better than the short due to resent market behaviour. I think I’ve also found a way to improve the audusd. Will check tomorrow when I get back to work. I have put my focus on shorter periods for the fractal which gives a lower hit rate but a more frequent trading. I don’t know what’s best. Hard to tell without 200k bars.
