1 Min Trading Strategy

juanj · Thu, 13 Jul 2017 11:29:26 +0000

Good Day, I have seen many people asking for a 1 min trading strategy so I decided to make one. I personally don’t like HFT type strategies as the spread can really eat away at profits compared to a nice trend following strategy. The strategy is based on candle formations, along with a Long/Near Moving Average Trend Check and a RSI[2] check. The trigger is made by a Bullish (or Bearish) candle formation and if the MA and RSI checks are valid a position is opened in the direction of the trend. Some candle patterns are counter intuitive and hence some should be commented out (this would require some testing). It is currently configured for long only trades (although the code is included for short trades). I don’t think it is exceptionally effective, but maybe someone here can make something worthwhile out of it. Results on 1min for thr EUR/USD with spread set to 0.8: Defparam cumulateorders = false If longonmarket and close < positionprice and (barindex-tradeindex) > 650 Then Sell at market ElsIf shortonmarket and close > positionprice and (barindex-tradeindex) > 60 then Exitshort at market EndIf body=close-open abody=abs(body) if range>0 then ratio=abody/range else ratio=0 endif

Strategyprofit gives you the profit of the system so far. The rest should be easy.

Nice, along with some of my other scalpers I’m actually running adapted versions of this specific strategy on EUR/USD and USD/JPY as well.

Hey guys, strategy works quite good. But I would like to give it a function:

If the first two trades of a day are higher than 0 (or lets better say if they are won), than no trade at this day anymore.

Why? Because we are only in long direction, and often the third or fourth trade is getting lost, because the dax is correcting. This is in my realtest. So can anybody help me? I tried to do myself but it didn´t work.

Thanks a lot!

I noticed it myself, added a variable called AllowTrade that resets every morning at say 01h00 to = 0

Then I placed the Buy command in an If statement saying;

If AllowTrade <= 2 Then

Buy possize contract at market

If positionperf(1) > 0 Then

AllowTrade = AllowTrade + 1

EndIF

@juanj

That is why the condition states positionperf(1) > 0 (only increment the AllowTrade counter for a won condition).

If you only want to stop trading after two consecutive wins then change the condition to;

If AllowTrade <= 2 Then

Buy possize contract at market

If positionperf(1) > 0 and positionperf(2) > 0 Then

AllowTrade = 3

EndIF

If positionperf(1) > 0 and positionperf(2) > 0 is not working, because the system is stopping the complete strategy after winning two trades in a row… maybe I´m on the wrong way. But I don´t know how to reset the counting of winning positions each day.

//Just add at the top of your code;

If hour = 1 Then

AllowTrade = 0

EndIf

//This will reset the AllowTrade variable every morning

Then add the If statement I already provided above to increment the AllowTrade variable upon a winning trade.

not working… sorry. I think it´s because of positionperf(1) > 0 and positionperf(2) > 0

the system only counts the first two won positions in a row and stops the strategy

I don’t have access to PRT right now have been trying to code it without looking at the exact way I did it, but I think I remember now;

This code should fix the issue.

If hour = 1 Then

Trade = 0 //resets the variable every morning

EndIf

If Trade = 0 Then

possize = 1 //the day will always start allowing the first trade

ElsIf Trade >= 2 and positionperf(1) > 0 and positionperf(2) > 0 Then

possize = 0

EndIf

If hour = 1 Then

Trade = 0 //resets the variable every morning

EndIf

If Trade = 0 Then

possize = 1 //the day will always start allowing the first trade

ElsIf Trade >= 2 and positionperf(1) > 0 and positionperf(2) > 0 Then

possize = 0

EndIf

Then just below the Buy command add the trade counter;

If countofposition = 0 and Bull = 1 and NearMA[1] > NearMA[3] and RSI[2](close) > 75 and NearMA > Average[150,2](close) Then
Buy possize contract at market
Trade = Trade + 1
EndIf

If countofposition = 0 and Bull = 1 and NearMA[1] > NearMA[3] and RSI[2](close) > 75 and NearMA > Average[150,2](close) Then

Buy possize contract at market

Trade = Trade + 1

EndIf
