Confirmation of Trend using Neural Networks (by kind permission of Leo)

TOPIC SPLITTED FROM “Neural Networks programming” discussion: https://www.prorealcode.com/topic/neural-networks-programming-with-prorealtime/ to discuss the strategy made by GraHal about Leo’s classifier code snippet. Leo wrote: which function do you use for the output neurons? Nicolas wrote: how did GraHal use the code to trigger trades in this case? I’m far from expert at coding, so I couldn’t understand your code fully, but I do like experimenting so … (rightly or wrongly?) I did below to trigger the trades! 🙂 System is doing good so far on Fwd Test … current trade at £128 profit and past trades results attached IF classifier=1 and close > Average[60](close) then Buy 2 Contracts at Market Edit / PS Bear in mind results are on 5 min TF, so maybe the good results so far are a fluke and a misuse of the code intention?? Strategy using the neural network made by Leo starts from this post: https://www.prorealcode.com/topic/long-only-trading-with-trend-confirmation-on-5-minutes-timeframe/page/3/#post-79578

this would be nice for the dax. Because of the Margin. It´s the half of Dow. Anyone tried?

Mmm thought it was a bit too good to be true! Just a bit though! 🙂

I have done a pessimistic calculation / check of results and £300 – £400 of profit is due to the spike we have had to endure at 21:15 on the Dow for the last 5 nights or so.

4 trades have been affected at 21:15, 1 lost around 350 due to the spike and 3 gained 200 due to the spike!

The 4 spiked tradess may have gone on to be gainers anyway if the spike hadn’t triggered the SL and TP. I guess I could work this out, but the coffee hasn’t worked through yet! 🙂

Results are still good though as v1.0 is currently trading at a genuine around £600 profit over 6 days (950 – 350 due to IG spikes! ).

I will put a time filter on the strategy when I get chance.

Why 4 pips? The SP500 spread is never that big.

Hey Everyone!!

Such a nice work!! Amazing results from the beginning, Congrats guys!!!

I would like my little idea to improve the results. Months ago I added an indicator to the library. I think this indicator can prevent fake entries, basiclly I added two more conditions to the original code:

AverageVolumeBuy > AverageVolumeSell and AverageVolumeBuy > 50

1	AverageVolumeBuy > AverageVolumeSell and AverageVolumeBuy > 50

It is only a little bit improve, and please guys please to share your opinion. I hope you like.

Saludos!!

I forgot, I forgot okay!? We all make mistakes!? 🙂

Also Lot size = 2 on my results above.
S&P500 is min Lot size 5, so more mistakes on my part! 🙁

@Stefanb @Xusto @anybody … got any tweaks / fixes for that big drawdown shown on Stefanb screenshot over 200k bars above??

Please post your tweaked / fixed code on here with screen shot of equity curve and performance results.

Equity curve stagnation and lose come from ranging market. This seems normal for a strategy that detects market movements and bets on their continuity 🙂

Well we need code to keep out of the market when ranging?

Above is for Xusto version with the volume tweak in post 79312.

( @stefanb in case you don’t know and for others … if you select part of the text of a post and THEN click on Quote on the right above the post then the selected text displays as a quote … very useful).

Here is a code that I will start live soon.

Have run it om demo for a while and it seems to be working ok.

Spread=1

Op 75%

DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False
DEFPARAM PRELOADBARS = 200

indicator1 = SuperTrend[1,8]
c1 = (close <= indicator1)
indicator4 = SuperTrend[1,4]
c4 = (close <= indicator4)
c2 =  DIplus[6](close) >  DIminus[3](close)

HL = 14 // Hour of Long Entry
HLS = 12 // Hour of Long Exit
HS = 7 // Hour of Short Entry
HSS = 15 // Hour of Short Exit
LATR = 9// Number of ATRs for Stop Loss
PATR = 21 // Number of ATRs for Take Profit
ATR = 18 // ATR period

IF Hour=HL and c1 THEN
BUY 1 CONTRACTS AT MARKET
ENDIF

If LongOnMarket AND Hour=HLS THEN//
SELL AT MARKET
ENDIF

IF Hour=HS and c2 and c4 THEN
SELLSHORT 1 CONTRACTS AT MARKET
ENDIF

IF ShortOnMarket AND Hour=HSS THEN
EXITSHORT AT MARKET
ENDIF

SET STOP LOSS LATR*AverageTrueRange[ATR](close)
SET TARGET PROFIT PATR*AverageTrueRange[ATR](close)

IF Hour=HS and c2 and c4 THEN
SELLSHORT 1 CONTRACTS AT MARKET
ENDIF

IF ShortOnMarket AND Hour=HSS THEN
EXITSHORT AT MARKET
ENDIF

SET STOP LOSS LATR*AverageTrueRange[ATR](close)
SET TARGET PROFIT PATR*AverageTrueRange[ATR](close)

DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False

DEFPARAM PRELOADBARS = 200

indicator1 = SuperTrend[1,8]

c1 = (close <= indicator1)

indicator4 = SuperTrend[1,4]

c4 = (close <= indicator4)

c2 = DIplus[6](close) > DIminus[3](close)

HL = 14 // Hour of Long Entry

HS = 7 // Hour of Short Entry

HSS = 15 // Hour of Short Exit

LATR = 9// Number of ATRs for Stop Loss

PATR = 21 // Number of ATRs for Take Profit

ATR = 18 // ATR period

IF Hour=HL and c1 THEN

BUY 1 CONTRACTS AT MARKET

ENDIF

If LongOnMarket AND Hour=HLS THEN//

SELL AT MARKET

ENDIF

IF Hour=HS and c2 and c4 THEN

SELLSHORT 1 CONTRACTS AT MARKET

ENDIF

IF ShortOnMarket AND Hour=HSS THEN

Lines 34-35 are duplicate and you may remove them.

Moreover, your SL & TP will change each new candle, while they should not while on market, I think you should use line 44 to write

If Not OnMarket then

1	If Not OnMarket then

and add line 47 with ENDIF

Lines 37 to 46 are all duplicated?

I guess maybe finger trouble with copy and paste??
