Internal Bar Strength Gold XAUUSD 2 hours TIMEFRAME

Internal Bar Strength Gold XAUUSD 2 hours TIMEFRAME

This strategy works on several markets but in this example I focused on gold.

The strategy is based on the Internal Bar Strength Indicator (IBS=(Close – Low) / (High – Low) * 100), and by using this indicator I’ve made a  mean reversion strategy which basically gives you a high win rate thanks to a large stop loss distance. To find out if this is good or bad you need to do some further testing.

Anyhow, the main rule is as follow:

  • Buy when the IBS closes below a certain value and exit when the price closes above yesterday’s high.
  • Sell when the IBS closes above a certain value and exit when the price closes below yesterday’s low.

Apart from the main rule, I have also added some extra stuff to boost the performance of this backtest. You can optimise all of this in the top section.

Enjoy!

    There is a huge drawdown from 2012 to 2013 after it keeps rising

    La fonction stoplossmulti ne change rien cela doit provenir de l’averagetruerange existe t il plusieurs versions de averagetruerange ???

    Bonjour Nicolas la formule du stop loss est elle vraiment valable ?? il n’y a pas au depart de calcul de différence entre tradeprice et atr??

    • Nicolas • 11/14/2017 #

      Il y a peut-être un erreur en effet, essayer avec:
      set stop ploss (averagetruerange[14] * stoplossmulti)/pointsize
      ou mieux
      set stop loss (averagetruerange[14] * stoplossmulti)

    ok merci Nicolas c’est avec /pipsize que ça fonctionne
