  Ciao Francesco, here’s a second version if you wouldn’t mind backtesting on 200k. MM is disabled but the DrawdownNeededToQuit might still be operative … not sure.

  I added another layer of filters at the 15m level. It performs better than v1 over 100k — higher profit from fewer trades — so curious to know if it’s still just fit it to that data set.

  Dita incrociate…

  nonetheless – could you post the code so that we don’t have to download the ITF file please?

  Thanks Francesco … sadly not any better than the first one. Only really works for 2019.

  May need to rethink this. We all know how it ended for the mother of dragons.

  Least it wouldn’t have blown the Account in the 1st 100k bars (as many Systems do for OOS periods).

  Maybe a Filter to prevent trading when Price is ranging and also in a downtrend.

  If you look at the equity curve … in 2017 when price was rising (from Sep 17 to Jan 18) your System made money then lost it when price was in a downtrend (Feb 18 to May 18) then hovered around zero when price was ranging from May 18 until 2019 when it got going again.

  It is worth trying a few tweaks and then if  Franseco tests again over 200k bars.

  But really you need tweak then  optimise else you not know if the tweak worked. How about trying it on 100k x 10 min TF as then back to June 2017 should be included??

  Just a few thoughts anyway.

  TBH, I’m inclined to give it a rest until we get v11. 100k just isn’t enough data to work with unless you’re using +1h TFs.

  I changed line
  61
  74
  131
  Add a stop from the line
  113
  I would do well a multi position if the position wins.

  Hey Fifi, a few tweaks and suddenly it looks so much better – thanks for that!

  Your backtest is 200k, yes? How does the curve look for 2017, 2018? The previous version only really came alive in 2019.

  That is a much better line, steady increase over almost the whole period. I tried to break it into separate long and short but the result is worse; your version works better as one code going both ways. A couple of big losses in Jan/Feb 2020 but over the long term looks like it could work – génial!

  This is another version I had been working on, with a couple of extra filters in the 2h TF to help confirm the primary trend. What do you think? My guess is that yours is probably more stable…

  For me that would start ringing an alarm bell. If an entry condition and exit condition are good then they should be good whether you have opposite direction trades in the strategy or not.
