Discussing the strategy VECTORIAL DAX (M5)

  Here’s the code I was thinking about. In general I don’t like to keep a position over the weekend, but if there is one. Put the gap 50 to 0 to have it always active with or without positionperformance.

  if onmarket then if dayofweek=0 and (hour=0 and minute>=57) and abs(dopen(0)-dclose(1))>50 and positionperf(0)>0 then if shortonmarket and close>dopen(0) then exitshort at market endif if longonmarket and close<dopen(0) then sell at market endif endif endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

  if onmarket then if dayofweek=0 and (hour=0 and minute>=57) and abs(dopen(0)-dclose(1))>50 and positionperf(0)>0 then if shortonmarket and close>dopen(0) then exitshort at market endif if longonmarket and close<dopen(0) then sell at market endif endif endif

  I think this could be very useful! This fraiday I had an order that starts at 20:10 and was about to get an over weekend position so I cuted i in the positive as I didn’t want to keep it!

   

  
  @Paul, do you have any ideas that you’d like to test or changes to make that you think of and that I could try and give you feedback on to get more gain. I run out of ideas…

  well atm I ran out of idea’s too. What I wonder instead of increasing the gains, not to prevent a bad entry, but how to react to a bad entry such as today. Just to watch the market going opposite and al you can do is hope it will reverse course.

  Something like if there are no certain gains made after the position is entered, close after xx bars=time.

  here’s something to test 🙂

  So you need to see a gain of atleast 20 points in 3 hours after a position is taken or else close it.

  I don’t know if I want to go down this road with curvefitting. There’s already plenty!

  if longonmarket and highest[barindex-tradeindex(1)](high)-tradeprice(1)<20 and barindex-tradeindex>80 then sell at market endif if shortonmarket and tradeprice(1)-lowest[barindex-tradeindex(1)](low)<20 and barindex-tradeindex>80 then //exitshort at market endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6

  if longonmarket and highest[barindex-tradeindex(1)](high)-tradeprice(1)<20 and barindex-tradeindex>80 then sell at market endif if shortonmarket and tradeprice(1)-lowest[barindex-tradeindex(1)](low)<20 and barindex-tradeindex>80 then //exitshort at market endif

  THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS TRYING NOW! 😀

   

  I think it could be a great way to cut some positions sooner to prvent losses 🙂

  I am also trying to get this system with a stochastic momentum index more than bars, I’ll try both and see 😉

  And in you’re code you wrote 80 bars which is 4 hours and not 3 just ! 😉

  I tried this, bit better ratio but less gain obviously….

  //SL above 0 if more than X hours and positive SLafterXhours=0 if longonmarket and barindex-tradeindex>60 then if close-tradeprice(1)>=2 then sell at SLafterXhours STOP endif endif if shortonmarket and barindex-tradeindex>40 then if tradeprice(1)-close>=2 then EXITSHORT at SLafterXhours STOP endif endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

  //SL above 0 if more than X hours and positive   SLafterXhours=0   if longonmarket and barindex-tradeindex>60 then if close-tradeprice(1)>=2 then sell at SLafterXhours STOP endif endif   if shortonmarket and barindex-tradeindex>40 then if tradeprice(1)-close>=2 then EXITSHORT at SLafterXhours STOP endif endif

  I would refrain from using stop orders and use market, especially on fast timeframe. Then you don’t have to mess with rejections etc.

  Actually there is already an already exit available in the code but it wasn’t used. (spreaking v3p5)

  Maybe this one can be improved? Short was already active but for long was not used.  If it was active with value minrangedistL=1 it would h’ve exit long way earlier.

  Using it as is, with addition that if there is not enough gains, the minrangedistance gets reduced. So start at 3 and reducing it to 1.

  // reversal exit once longexit =1 once shortexit=1 if longexit then if longonmarket then minrangedistL=1 cl1=close<open and close[1]<open[1] and close[2]<open[2] cl2=(close=low or close[1]=low[1] or close[2]=low[2]) cl3=(range>(close/1000)*minrangedistL or range[1]>(close[1]/1000)*minrangedistL or range[1]>(close[1]/1000)*minrangedistL) if cl1 and cl2 and cl3 then sell at market endif endif endif if shortexit then if shortonmarket then minrangedistS=1.5 cs1=close>open and close[1]>open[1] and close[2]>open[2] cs2=(close=high or close[1]=high[1] or close[2]=high[2]) cs3=(range>(close/1000)*minrangedistS or range[1]>(close[1]/1000)*minrangedistS or range[1]>(close[1]/1000)*minrangedistS) if cs1 and cs2 and cs3 then exitshort at market 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

  // reversal exit once longexit =1 once shortexit=1 if longexit then if longonmarket then minrangedistL=1 cl1=close<open and close[1]<open[1] and close[2]<open[2] cl2=(close=low or close[1]=low[1] or close[2]=low[2]) cl3=(range>(close/1000)*minrangedistL or range[1]>(close[1]/1000)*minrangedistL or range[1]>(close[1]/1000)*minrangedistL) if  cl1 and cl2 and cl3 then sell at market endif endif endif   if shortexit then if shortonmarket then minrangedistS=1.5 cs1=close>open and close[1]>open[1] and close[2]>open[2] cs2=(close=high or close[1]=high[1] or close[2]=high[2]) cs3=(range>(close/1000)*minrangedistS or range[1]>(close[1]/1000)*minrangedistS or range[1]>(close[1]/1000)*minrangedistS) if  cs1 and cs2 and cs3 then exitshort at market endif endif endif

  Just replaced the trailing stops with an ordinary trailing stop, and added a new profit taking routine to the old version Vectorial Dax V3 (04/13/2019, #96328). Code is shorter, and after some nice curve fitting, gain has doubled.

  an ordinary trailing-stop is not a ptrailing stop used in one strategy as in general it’s not recommended. But it’s good to take a step back sometimes and have a short & effective code. Whatever works!

  LR = LinearRegression[1] LRslope = LR[0] - LR[1] LRslopebuy = LRsplope > 0

  1 2 3

  LR = LinearRegression[1] LRslope = LR[0] - LR[1] LRslopebuy = LRsplope > 0

  I added this condition for the uptrend. Yesterday’s trade was really catastrophic..

  It’s another version of Vectorial .. but maybe an idea around that

  The yesterdays SL was the 4th full SL (2%) and the 8th SL bigger than 1% this year. Actually the profit rate in October is bad. To many small winners on one side, and to many loosing trades on the other side. But up to now, this month ist not negativ. But also, it don´t needs one more big looser again.

  Hello Paul,

  You mean like that? Because implementing it this way didn’t get pretty good results…

  I just tried both of your versions with 200k . It’s looking quite good but I wouldn’t let it alone in real. The profit factor is too small for a 45% winning strategie…!

   

  I tried to change few things but doesn’t work 🙁

  Tanou something like that, but using long didn’t work. How’s short only?

  ps nobody uses WF or HE?

  In the code that I put above both long and short were active if I’m not wrong!

   

  What do you mean by WF and HE?
