Hi all,

I hope you are fine, since the last time.
Here is a simple strategy using 3 trend indicators :
– a moving average
– Bollinger bands
– the chikou of Ichimoku

The rules are simple :
LONG if :
– close > the simple moving average
– close crosses over the upper Bollinger limit
– chikou crosses over the upper Bollinger
SHORT if : inverted conditions

For closing the trades :
– 1st option : you are always in position, you go long or short, that’s all
– 2nd option : you close the trade earlier, if the close crosses under the upper Bollinger

As this stratety uses 3 trend indicators, it’s obvious that it’s performing well with trending markets.
The results are better with optimized variables :
– period of the Bollinger (B)
– standard deviation of the Bollinger (D)
– period of the moving average (M)

Results are quite good on some stocks / index / forex pairs. It works best on high timeframes, but can be efficient on smaller timeframes.

The screenshot shows the result on EUR/USD, daily timeframe (with optimized variables, and the 2nd option for closing the trades)
Nice profit factor > 4,2

Of course, you can say (and you should be right) that it could be overoptimized.
But this strategy shows that it can work well on most of the markets tested.

You can test and adapt it, I’m sure that some other work can make it a very profitable strategy.

Best regards
