DAX 5 min automated trading by Andrea Unger

DAX 5 min automated trading by Andrea Unger

Good evening,
this is my first article in this beautiful community, so I hope you will appreciate the content and contribute by giving me suggestions for improvement in my trading!

The strategy based on the 5 min DAX is not mine but comes from a webinar of the famous Andrea Unger; It is based on the breakdown of the maximum or minimum of the first hour of trading (08: 00-09: 00 AM).

The strategy needs the “Dfactor” indicator which is attached at the end of the current post too.

    Hello and thanks for your article. As i have an import problem on my platform, could you copy/paste the dfactor.itf code in txt here ? So i can create the indicator.

  2. burghy17 (Andrea) • 06/10/2016 #

    Hi sofitech, thanks for your question, here is the code for the Dfactor indicator (really simple)

  3. burghy17 (Andrea) • 06/10/2016 #

    Dfact=0
    dayofw=0

    Dfact=(ABS(Dclose(1)-Dopen(1)))/(ABS(DHigh(1)-Dlow(1)))
    dayofw=Dayofweek

    Return Dfact as \"df\", dayofw as \"dayofw\"

    great code…
    also on Cac40 it works very well during the last month…but if you increase the time horizon tends to lose efficacy.I noticed that works well in the bullish phases, so with a filter as a short moving average could improve.
    maybe during weekend I do some testing
    Ciaooo

      Thanks Gianpiero for your comment,
      I’ll wait for your improvement !
      Have a nice Week End
      Ciao

    Hi. For some reason I do not get the same trades as you when I test this. What is your timezone set at as this would impact it dramatically? 

  7. burghy17 (Andrea) • 06/10/2016 #

    Hi davidp13,
    I don’t know for wich reason your backtest is so different from that one I posted here; the Time zone I used for this code is CET (Rome).

  8. alfredo • 06/10/2016 #

    Ciao, ma capita anche a voi che sul 5minuti si interrompe spesso e bisogna farlo ripartire?

  9. burghy17 (Andrea) • 06/10/2016 #

    Ciao Alfredo, il problema è nel codice di gestione del trailing stop , ti posto il codice che uso senza tale funzionalità (il backtest non cambia)
    DEFPARAM cumulateorders = false
    DEFPARAM Flatbefore = 090000
    DEFPARAM Flatafter = 220000

    ncontr=2 //n contratti da comprare o vendere per posizione
    x=1 //moltiplicatore della barra della prima ora
    y=0.5 //dailyfactor da utilizzare

    dailyfact, dayofw = CALL \"Dfactor\"
    //mytrailstop=Supertrend[5,20]

    //fiso valore moltiplicatore per determinare il livello di ingresso e del massimo/minimo della prima ora
    moltipl=x

    //individuo maz e minimo prima ora
    if time = 080000 then
    maxprimaora=High
    minprimaora=Low
    endif
    if time > 080000 and time <= 090000 then
    if High > maxprimaora then
    maxprimaora = High
    endif
    if Low < minprimaora then
    minprimaora = Low
    endif
    endif

    // determino i valori di ingresso Long e Short
    delta = moltipl*(maxprimaora-minprimaora)
    ingressolong=maxprimaora+delta
    ingressoshort=minprimaora-delta

    // determino i valori di STOP LOSS sia long che short
    stoplong = maxprimaora
    stopshort = minprimaora

    //verifico innanzitutto che il daily Factor sia minore di 0,75 e che non sia venerdì
    if time <= 100000 then
    if dailyfact < y and dayofw <> 5 then
    // verifico se ho rotto max o min della prima ora
    if High > ingressolong and not onmarket then
    stopl=stoplong
    buy ncontr contract at market
    SET STOP LOSS stopl
    elsif Low < ingressoshort and not onmarket then
    stopl=stopshort
    sellshort ncontr contract at market
    SET STOP LOSS stopl
    endif
    endif

    endif

    Grazie Andrea 

  11. alfredo • 06/10/2016 #

    Ciao Andrea, l’ho fatto partire con le modifiche che hai fatto ma mi ha aperto una posizione short oggi con uno stop loss a oltre 7000 punti di distanza, possibile?

    • burghy17 (Andrea) • 06/10/2016 #

      Ciao Alfredo, purtroppo ho notato anche io questo comportamento anomalo che in fase di backtest non mi risultava, devo verificare il motivo ….

  12. miguel33 • 06/10/2016 #

    il codice ha dato buoni risultati di guadagno  in reale sul 4 ore .

  13. burghy17 (Andrea) • 06/10/2016 #

    Ciao Miguel,
    si il codice è buono, ma soprattutto la strategia di Unger è molto robusta, purtroppo non ho molto tempo per dedicarmi alla programmazione, e ci sono ancora delle inesattezze nel posizionamento degli stop loss (i valori sono del tutto sballati) …..

  14. miguel33 • 06/10/2016 #

    Si come strategia è da approfondire per migliorarla . In reale per ora mi ha dato ottimi ritorni di gain ma può avere margini di miglioramento straordinari . Anche se mi ha fatto solo trade long . Allego risultato da quando l’ho inserita in reale. 
    Cerchiamo di migliorarla insieme. 
    Buon lavoro 
    miguel

    Salve a tutti, mi è stato segnalato questo post e ringrazio l’autore per il lavoro fatto sulla mia strategia. Ero già in contatto con PRT per avere una versione da far girare sulla loro piattaforma ed allego la versione da loro prodotta che corrisponde quasi in tutto ai risultati che ho con il mio codice originale (ci sono solo un paio di punti da verificare su cui i tecnici di PRT stanno lavorando). Per un utilizzo appropriato della strategia vi consiglierei di prendere visione del webinar gratuito dove viene spiegato il processo attraverso il cui è stato creato quel codice:
    versione italiana:  http://bit.ly/PRTIT-1
    Versione Inglese  http://bit.ly/PRTEN-1
     
    Grazie, ciao
    Hi all, this post was notified to me and I thank its author for the work done on my strategy. I was already in touch with PRT to get a version to use on their platform and I attach last version they produced which corresponds nearly completely with my original code (there are only some minor issues on which PRT experts are currently working). To use the strategy properly I would suggest to attend the free webinar where the process to get to that code is explained:
    Italian version http://bit.ly/PRTIT-1
    English version: http://bit.ly/PRTEN-1
     
    Thanks
    Cheers
    Andrea Unger

      Grazie Ing. Unger per il suo commento e per il suo post, il codice che ho caricato, un po’ più “elaborato” del suo :-)), in effetti nasce dalla visualizzazione del webinar free relativo alla sua strategia; purtroppo non sono un programmatore professionista pertanto ho qualche difficoltà a tradurre fedelmente le indicazioni da lei fornite in righe di codice per Pro Real Time …. il backtest mi da però dei buoni dati in termini di prestazioni; la sto infatti testando in demo …..
      Buona serata
      Andrea B.

  17. miguel33 • 06/10/2016 #

    Non mi sembra migliore il codice , anzi in backtest dal giugno 2012 mentre il precedente ha un guadagno del 122 % questa ha una perdita del 58% . Cosa mi sfugge se leggo che sono simili ?
    Ho tentato ieri di collegarmi al webinar dell’ ing Unger ma non è stato possibile.
    Grazie e buona giornata .
    miguel
     

  18. Andrea Unger • 06/10/2016 #

    Su quale strumento testi il tutto? A me sul future dicembre (ovviamente non dal 2012) da trade corrispondenti al modello originale

  19. miguel33 • 06/10/2016 #

    Ho fatto il backtest sul DAX cash mini  
    purtroppo con l’ipad non mi da la possibilità di inserire le foto dei test
     

  20. miguel33 • 06/10/2016 #

    dott. Unger e’ possibile avere il codice per la MT4 ?
    Grazie .

  21. volpiemanuele • 06/10/2016 #

    Dott. Unger, ma la versione pubblicata della strategia è quella corretta o i tecnici in seguito alle verifiche hanno apportato delle modifiche?
    Grazie

  22. Francesco78 • 06/10/2016 #

    Ciao a tutti, qualcuno sta ancora usando questa strategia? la ho appena testata e mi pare che da Agosto 2016 non stia performando…

    • Gianluca • 06/10/2016 #

      Pare anche a me che non vada un granchè

  23. Francesco78 • 06/10/2016 #

    gira sull 1hr non sul 5 minuti

  24. calefrago • 06/10/2016 #

    Salve,
    ho scaricato la strategia e ho provato a fare un test ma come risultato da 0, devo cambiare qualche impostazione?

  25. pippo999 • 06/10/2016 #

    Someone still using this strategy? Are there any results available?

  26. Valer Rob • 06/10/2016 #

    Andrea, are you still using expert advisor?
