The "Reversi 4" strategy

Hi all,

Here is a little strategy of my own. It will not give you millions of dollars, buy it is very simple (no indicators), and effective on much forex pairs and timeframes.

As we can see, performance can be done with simple things.

A picture worths a long description.

Here is a “Bullish Reversi” : 2 bearish candles, followed by 2 bearish candles

Reversi haussier

Here is a “Bearish Reversi” : 2 bullish candles, followed by 2 bullish candlesReversi baissier

The trade rules are very simple :

“LONG” entry when we have a bullish Reversi

“SHORT” entry when we have a bearish Reversi

Stop loss : at the lowest / highest of the previous candle.
Take profit : equal to the stop loss.

Defparam cumulateorders = false

// REVERSI HAUSSIER
ca1 = close > open and close[1] > open[1] and close[2] < open[2] and close[3] < open[3]

IF ca1 THEN
 buy at market nextbaropen
 amplitude = close - low
ENDIF

// REVERSI BAISSIER
cv1 = close < open and close[1] < open[1] and close[2] > open[2] and close[3] > open[3]

IF cv1 THEN
 sellshort at market nextbaropen
 amplitude = high - close
ENDIF

// STOP LOSS & OBJECTIF
set stop loss amplitude
set target profit amplitude

This code is the work of a simple genius! Profitability lies in simplicity and repetition.

Adding spread, it only generates losses. The idea is good, I see use for this algo in combination with a price level reversal strategy. Unfortunately IG does give us volume in PRT to identify those price levels, even if we use l2 data there.

Hello,

I didn't make the calculation, it should be true.
Best regards,

Hi @Doc,

If my calculations are correct, your example above, over 40 years, made 1.88% per year (CAGR%), or $280 per year on average.

Is that correct? Also, did you include trade costs/spread? How much?

Regards
