Another interesting but buried topic. I’m actually cleaning my subscribed topics and stumbled on this one, so that’s why I’m posting here. I think open range breakout is still of interest of course and this strategy, part of the prorealtime documentation, still deserves investigation.
Now that Walk Forward Analysis is available, did someone tried to use it for the optimization of the 4 variables of the strategy? It should help a lot determining how to proceed with these values in ranging markets. Another topic in my favorite list 🙂
Can someone post the link to the original version for the CAC please?
This is the original code: CAC40 Breakout system
Just started a WFA of the DAX version but with all 4 variables this will take all day.
Haha I had to leave the house for some other business. The results I got so far were not really useless but not outstanding either. I will try to do better and come back if I get a result worth showing.
The best is the enemy of good 🙂 This strategy afford to loose quickly, it results to have sometimes many losing trades in the same row, so equity curve could be not so “sexy” (not straight upward).
That’s it. The winning percentage is quite low. Something like 30%. I will try to incorporate some trades handling false breakouts.
