The Zen Forex strategy

The Zen Forex strategy

Hello All,

I found a strategy on Internet, and tried to backtest us.

As it didn’t work, I did some modification to the rules.

Those ones are very simple, so I don’t detail them.

I set some interesting moving averages (5, 8, 89, some of the Fibonacci numbers).

The trades are closed at 21 PM.

This strategy plays the consolidations on trends.

It is very effective since 10 years, not before.
It works on EUR/USD and GBP/USD.

    There is an error with the code.As you see, there are no short positions.Because I did set “buy”, I should have written “sellshort”.
     
    But the results are worse with the sellshort !

    Hi Doc,
    thanks for the code, I tried his on backtest on Dax, and the result is like you. But that don’t work on ProOrder Auto trading. Could you say me why please?
    Other question, i tried to change code to have shorts positions but that simply replace all “buy positions” by all “shorts positions”. what line should i change? Have you repaired the code? 
    Thank you

    Hi Benjamin.
    do you have an IG account?…i have your same problem…don’t works in Pro Order…

    Hi all,
    I didn’t try it with ProOrder, as I don’t find this strategy very performing, compared to my own strategies.
    I don’t know why it doesn’t work on ProOrder, it should.
    You are right, there is a mistale on line 52.
    I will test it with ProOrder, and check the codeBest Regards,

    Ok thank you for your answers. Gianpiero, i have an Interactive brokers account. Noisette, i will test with modification. Doctrading, your strategy is with little drawdown, it’s interesting.

    It works on ProOrder – but  I don’t like the maxWin = MaxLoss.

    Just divise StopLoss /2 – Result is better
