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

@Juanj: I see there in your code commands like:

x=average[7,2](close)

I’m not familiar with this notation. What does the second parameter in the first bracket stand for. 7 is the period of the MA but what is this ,2 after the 7?

It’s the Moving Average Type

0 = Simple
1 = Exponential
2 = Weighted
3 = Wilder’s Smoothed
4 = Triangular
5 = End Point
6 =Time Series.

Results improve significantly if you omit trades on both mondays and thursdays. This is for the dax.

Interesting. Wonder why that would be.

I use to optimize all my strategies to only run on certain days (based on backtesting) but it always seemed to only work for a little while as the market ‘no-no’ days seem to change over time.

But suppose if you use WF and only a fraction of your data to confirm the bias it might be more relevant going forward.

I ran several OOS-tests with it and the bias was confirmed. Of course our history for 1min is so little that the bias can vanish whenever. At least it persisted to all history we have.

A german analyst I once had a chat with had the option that the Dax is always searching for its direction on mondays and usually tests on mondays both highs and lows. This would make the market prone to intraday reversals on mondays which than would cause losing trades.

This would be an attempt to explain why mondays are bad days but when I tested thursday were the worse (even worse than mondays) and actually the only weekday that lost money on average, mondays had a tiny plus (0.06%). For thursdays I have no explanation. But well, we don’t have to understand it to be able to trade it. 😛

Hallo

When I try to test the version you posted #47381 for DAX, strategy doesn’t take any position.

Do you know where the issue could be ?

Danke im Voraus

Hi everyone. Has anyone tried using a moving average of daily highs and lows as entry criteria for long or short trades? Example take the highest daily high of a long number of periods (roughly 10000) then take a moving average of this. If the price is above this then we know on a higher time frame the trend should be upwards.

I think if you are really determined to get the short side working, start by disabling all the bearish candle setups (//Bear = 1) and then enable them one by one, keeping only those that improve performance above the long-only version. Not all candlestick patterns are created equally. Maybe you stumble upon 2 or 3 that actually give good high-quality triggers.
