  Thanks. I am certain there’s lots of room for improvement and optimization.

  BTW not sure I understood what part was wrong with the %TrailingStop – does it matter in these versions or does it only matter if you use breakeven?

  Here is the correct one :

  // trailing stop percentage once trailingstoptype2=1 if trailingstoptype2 then once trailingpercent = 1 once steppercent = (trailingpercent/10)*1 if onmarket then trailingstart = tradeprice(1)*(trailingpercent/100) trailingstep = tradeprice(1)*(steppercent/100) endif if not onmarket or ((longonmarket and shortonmarket[1]) or (longonmarket[1] and shortonmarket)) then newsl=0 endif if longonmarket then if newsl=0 and close-tradeprice(1)>=trailingstart then newsl = tradeprice(1)+trailingstep endif if newsl>0 and close-newsl>trailingstep then newsl = newsl+trailingstep endif endif if shortonmarket then if newsl=0 and tradeprice(1)-close>=trailingstart then newsl = tradeprice(1)-trailingstep endif if newsl>0 and newsl-close>trailingstep then newsl = newsl-trailingstep endif endif if barindex-tradeindex>1 then if longonmarket then if newsl>0 then sell at newsl stop endif if newsl>0 then if low crosses under newsl then sell at market endif endif endif if shortonmarket then if newsl>0 then exitshort at newsl stop endif if newsl>0 then if high crosses over newsl then exitshort at market endif endif endif endif endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52

  // trailing stop percentage once trailingstoptype2=1   if trailingstoptype2 then once trailingpercent = 1 once steppercent     = (trailingpercent/10)*1 if onmarket then trailingstart = tradeprice(1)*(trailingpercent/100) trailingstep = tradeprice(1)*(steppercent/100) endif if not onmarket or ((longonmarket and shortonmarket[1]) or (longonmarket[1] and shortonmarket)) then newsl=0 endif if longonmarket then if newsl=0 and close-tradeprice(1)>=trailingstart then newsl = tradeprice(1)+trailingstep endif if newsl>0 and close-newsl>trailingstep then newsl = newsl+trailingstep endif endif if shortonmarket then if newsl=0 and tradeprice(1)-close>=trailingstart then newsl = tradeprice(1)-trailingstep endif if newsl>0 and newsl-close>trailingstep then newsl = newsl-trailingstep endif endif if barindex-tradeindex>1 then if longonmarket then if newsl>0 then sell at newsl stop endif if newsl>0 then if low crosses under newsl then sell at market endif endif endif if shortonmarket then if newsl>0 then exitshort at newsl stop endif if newsl>0 then if high crosses over newsl then exitshort at market endif endif endif endif endif

  Hi Paul, your job is amazing. I’m using your last version (v3p3) on DJ 3minutes: last week really good, but yesterday a big lost with 3 loosing trades , do you think is it normal o is there something to optimize, for bettere performace?

  Thank you very much.

  I’m growing more and more determined that on average it’s safer to turn most strategies off around FED announcements and similar macroeconomic events, regardless of the strategies being supposed to be robust and backtested on many such events, I’ve seen them go bananas too often now and it’s not worth it.

  Since I had a profitable version of DJ3-strategy running already I took the risk of running the old one as well as the new ones, both with and without MM this week. Not the best idea I’ve had 😛

  I guess it would be a bit too early to say whether it should be optimized differently.

  Eh, I did the same…I changed the old one (slow but profitable) with the new one..and looking the past this is really the worst week…not very lucky:-O

  Everything is optimised on the vectorial settings, the stochastic rsi is added on top of that, that’s one way to use to WF.

  I’ve been sitting the whole week building different strategies just to get a feel for different indicators. Most have been crap and some has been ok, but nothing special.

  Today I got a decent one that needed something else and I thought of the vector in this one. Perfect, could work. Then the money management. Then… all of a sudden, it was almost a copy of it hehe. Oh well, back to square one 🙂

  Thank you Paul. I’m testing also DAX 3m Vectorial V3p4 on demo, but it has not the same behavior of backtest: total different trades. It seems that it does not close the positions, for example I’ve set weekendpostion=0 but Friday the script does not close the position. Could you help me? Maybe a new version? Thank you again for the great work.

  Maybe check your time zone, any problem GMT+2, the code (DAX 3m Vectorial V3p4)  is clear :

  if not weekendposition then if (dayofweek=5 and time>=215400) then exitshort at market sell at market endif endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6

  if not weekendposition then if (dayofweek=5 and time>=215400) then exitshort at market sell at market endif endif

  Even on backtest, every trades close before the week-end at 21h54min, if weekposition = 0

  With backtest works well, but in demo mode total different trades. Where can I check time zone? Thanks

  I had a short version too and it won also. Not so nice chart so I never realised it. Anybody created a short version?

  Hi Paul, time zone was oky, I can’t understand why DJ script works good and DAX version does not close positions in the right way and totally different from backtest:-(
