3 Candle Strategy

Marc · Wed, 25 Jul 2018 11:20:31 +0000

Hi together, here is another system which works like bullish / bearish harami pattern. In the End for a long position 3 lower highs and lower lows have to follow immediately. Close of current candle must be higher than open if first candle is bearish or close of current candle must be higher if first candle is bullish. TP is high of first candle. For Short vice versa. Perhaps somebody can check if this code seems to be okay? DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False //Buy-Condition l1: Kerze vor 3 Perioden muss bullish sein und es müssen 3 Kerzen mit tieferen Hochs und tieferen Tiefs folgen und der Schlusskurs der vorherigen Kerze muss größer sein als der Schlusskurs der ersten Kerze l1 = OPEN[3] < CLOSE[3] AND High[3] > High [2] AND High[2] > High[1] AND Low[3] > Low[2] AND Low[2] > Low[1] AND Close[1] >= Close[3] //Buy-Condition l2: Kerze vor 3 Perioden muss bearish sein und es müssen 3 Kerzen mit tieferen Hochs und tieferen Tiefs folgen und der Schlusskurs der vorherigen Kerze ist größer als das Open der ersten Kerze l2 = OPEN[3] > CLOSE[3] AND High[3] > High [2] AND High[2] > High[1] AND Low[3] > Low[2] AND Low[2] > Low[1] AND Close[1] >= Open[3] //Sell-Condition s1: Kerze vor 3 Perioden muss bullish sein und es müssen 3 Kerzen mit höheren Hochs und höheren Tiefs und der SK der vorherigen Kerze ist kleiner als der SK's der ersten Kerze, wenn der SK von Kerze 1 kleiner als das Close ist s1 = OPEN[3] < CLOSE[3] AND High[3] < High [2] AND High[2] < High[1] AND Low[3] < Low[2] AND Low[2] < Low[1] AND Close[1] <= Close[3] //Sell-Condition s2: Kerze vor 3 Perioden muss bearish sein und es müssen 3 Kerzen mit höheren hoch und hheren Tiefs und der SK der vorherigen Kerze ist kleiner als der SK's der ersten Kerze, wenn der SK von Kerze 1 kleiner als das Close ist s2 =OPEN[3] > CLOSE[3] AND High[3] < High [2] AND High[2] < High[1] AND Low[3] < Low[2] AND Low[2] < Low[1] AND Close[1] <= Open[3] //Kauforder zur Eröffnung der nächsten Kerze wenn Konditionen l1 oder l2 erfüllt sind IF l1 OR l2 THEN BUY 1 SHARES AT MARKET NextBarOpen ENDIF //Verkauforder zur Eröffnung der nächsten Kerze wenn Konditionen s1 oder s2 erfüllt sind IF s1 OR s2 THEN SELLSHORT 1 SHARE AT MARKET NextBarOpen ENDIF //TP und SL-Definition SET TARGET %Profit 1 SET STOP %Loss 1

Well by your rule of thumb Vonasi it more or less passes!

More or less it passes – but then more rather than less you need enough start capital to fund it and then as it is on a 5 minute chart your back test data is so very limited that you have to take the results as potentially being an over optimised pile of poop! So multiply draw down by 100!

Hi all,

I am being met with the following message when trying to implement my back testing using the above code (a newbie to coding FYI) – ” Syntax Error in assignment”

I am sure that its probably something really simple, but any advice would be great,

many thanks

I just copied the code above and pasted and backtested and I don’t get any syntax error.

Try copying and pasting the code again and let us know.

Attachments are with Spread = 4 and 3 min TF.

Thank you, I have re-run the code and its now working.

However, I noticed that you Back-tested it on DJI, so I followed suit, but my back test results were different to yours (please see attached screen shot)

Why set-up was a 3 minute timeframe with a 4 spread – but came back with far more results at a much higher loss?

You backtested on a $10 contract for 1,000 bars.

I backtested on a £1 contract for 10,000 bars.

Re far more trades …

I suspect you have below?

DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = True

1	DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = True

I have below, same as the code I posted above …

DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = false

1	DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = false
