  I found this strategy from below website, made some minor modification, and add a MA filter, 240 per unit to simulate a daily MA.

  Walk forward by MA filter, stop loss and target profit screen capture attached.

  Please enjoy and comment.

  Unfortunately this is quite often the way. Some of the best strategies place very few trades – but good trades, unfortunately the lack of trades makes them tough to test for robustness. A portfolio of many strategies that place few trades but good trades is a desirable thing to have but achieving this can be difficult due to the time required to prove robustness on this type of strategy. Also lots of strategies means the potential of lots of positions open at the same time so a big bank is needed to avoid ruin in this scenario.

  Sometimes it just seems easier to buy an ETF and open a beer and just get on with life!

  Hi Bin

  Thanks for sharing I like this strategy much! This one is pretty similar as my trading habit as I always look for the opportunities of BB reversal.

  Apart from RSI, Stochastic is one of my favorite indicator combining with BB for determining a reversal e.g. <20 go long, >80 go short. Could be a good filter maybe : P

  Best

  Hang
