  Bad CCI Donkey works weel today +20 % (OOS results as always)

  Win/loss : 3.17 is very good

  Still one day tomorrow to have results after one week

  Well, end of Week test. The system stopped for today because of Goal Reach : 1000 USD today = + 10 % today

  After one week of testing, we have + 59 % of gain in OOS results. I think we can say it could be a racehorse 🙂

  Now I will let the system continue, to see how it evolves (How do we need to reevaluate variables with backtest on IS) but the test is concluant

  Now, I will do some tests with others Donkeys (I already think about some improvments)

  But as you can see, the answer is not the strategy but the money management, the code, the market structure and so on …

  Keep It Always Simple !

  Hi zilliq

  Thanks for sharing, always interesting to read new ideas.

  Out of interest, what is the Target Profit and Stop Loss that you have on this particular strategy in terms of risk to reqrds?

   

  Thanks very much,

  S

  Hi @samsampop

  Dynamic Target and Stop loss based on crossing of the CCI and change of market structure. That’s why lost can vary but is limited

  Well,

  As could be expected, performance diminish with time if we don’t update the parameters with backtests

  The first backtest was on 100 000 bars and the performance was still good after 9 days*1440=12 960 = 12960/100 000 =  13 % of the length of the period of backtest +/- 1/8 of the period

  We should update but I won’t (Because of time and others trials to do)

  But very interesting

  NOW I know what you mean. I understood what you meant, but had to see it for myself.

  I tried the most simple strategy from the library that had a regular stop and target profit. Result was quite bad. Switched it out to Ale’s logic trailing stop and there we go. From a loser to a winner (also switched 1h to 15min).

  So much learnt from this. Thank you!

  Thank you once again for the intellectual exercise, and the recommendation of some good literature.  I read Quantitative Trading by E. Chan, one of your recommendations, and it was extremely useful.  The Exit strategy and Money Management are now on a par with the Entry Signals.

  You posts in this topic have inspired me to test a range of strategies with renewed focus on Risk, Exit and MM methodology.  Start of a new and exciting journey!
