  Today, I would like to share with you a strategy developed for the US 500 index
  This one relies on Ichimoku to validate the trend and give the signals to enter

  Its objective is to follow the evolution of the price rise or fall in order to benefit from it.
  It also aims to exit the position at the most favorable time to cash out regularly.

  However, the objective remains a long-term one for annual performance.

  The success of the backtest is based on the optimisation of the stop loss and the clear upward trend in the price.

  Also, money management is in place to ensure that a crack addict does not destroy the entire portfolio.

  Thanks for the strategy, however I think like for this other strategy: Long US Tech 100 Ichimoku strategy that there might be something wrong in the stoploss calculation at line 18?

  Thanks for sharing.

  I have some doubt about the interest of it because the index curve and the equity curve are very similar, and it is a long only strategy on a bull market index… so why not just buy and hold ?

  And the algo often exits a position and enters a new position a few time after, so the exit orders are useless most of the time.

  Hello Nicolas, indeed, it is not conventional…

  However, it is a method I use to use a %Stop
  In limited risk CFD account, this kind of stop are not accessible, surprisingly, if I place a normal stop then a %stop it works…

  It’s adapting to the limited risk account.

  This message will also be on this post like that x)

  Hello Roger,

  Indeed, this is correct.
  That was also the goal of this strategy, closed to cash in regularly.
  In this way, a reinvestment of the profits can be envisaged.

  Otherwise indeed, the performances are almost identical without closing.

  However, the code can be modified and improved and shared again, it remains a “basic” idea.

  This type of strategy remains simple and profitable over the long term with high potential markets.

  Useless with hindsight, but if price had gone against the exited position then not useless?

  I don’t mind a strategy that exits often as long as the exit is at a logical place that warrants an exit … price is showing signs of reversing.

  Actually the exit condition is :

  if close < kijun and close > positionprice then sell at market endif

  1 2 3

  if close < kijun and close > positionprice then sell at market endif

  So you are right, it may be a “good reason” to exit. My bad !

  What i said could be relevant if there was a target price, and in this case a trailing stop could avoid paying the broker spread so many times.

  The problem with setting a shorter stop on this value is that the backtest would not be efficient.

  But it is fresh that closing so many times necessarily increases the costs…
