    The world’s simplest strategy but which is proven to make money in the long run.

    Breakout of the DAX index

    • Observe DAX pre-market from 7am until 07.59am.
    • Mark the high and the low of those 59 minutes of trading.
    • Place a BUY order at the high of the 59 minutes observation period.
    • Place a SELL SHORT order at the low of the 59 minutes observation period.
    • This obviously needs to be done in the minute before the market opens.You need to be quick.
    • You risk 9 points.
    • Your target is to make 6 points.If one order is filled, I cancel the other. Some do not. I do.

     

    Breakout of Dow Open

    • Observe Dow pre-market from 13:30 until 14:29.
    • Mark the high and the low of those 59 minutes of trading.
    • Place a BUY order at the high of the 59 minutes observation period.
    • Place a SELL SHORT order at the low of the 59 minutes observation period.
    • This obviously needs to be done in the minute before the market opens. You need to be quick.
    • You risk 9 points.
    • Your target is to make 6 points, but I always go for more.

    Would this be possible to code?

    Murre,

    This is a good system with the same idea, you can change the parameters as you please… for instance you can set the range from 7 to 7.59, the target profit and so on…

    Good Luck

    Hi, I tested the strategy as written on the DAX and it does not seem to work!  I moved the hour to the open and it wins 100% of the time with a tweak using a 5 mon bar for direction backtested 100,000 units.  See attached.

    I will try a premarket tweak and see what tI can do!

    Hi, murre87  I thought I would write you a tweaked BOT, modified around stop and entry to improve with a little 5 min direction to help!

    Anyone feel free to use or improve, I am going to post this to the library

    Some small changes

     

    #181345

    Can that work or is the DAX slippage tearing a hole in the account?

    #181350

    Values like this is not allowed by IG?

     

    #181352

    Does ptrailing and ploss be minimum 5?

    #181355

    The 3 lines are allowed, but the first one is immediately overridden by the second line, as only one STOP can be used and it’s always the last one executed.

    Lines are read and executed sequentially.

    ptrailing does not work in Live and the minimum stop on the Dax is at least 5 points.
