D.I.+RSIOMA Trend Following on Dax
-
Hi guys,
I was trying to figure out some strategies with a mtf trend background and entry in direction of it, and I found this out:
a double-Directional Movement to set the direction of the trend, and RSIOMA crossing overbought or oversold for entry signal.
A little bit of money management (to improve possibly with your help) optimization and here an interesting result on 100k backtest.

This is obviously at the cost of less trades which in real life is a good thing but for a back test result is a bad thing as you have a smaller data sample to build confidence in the results.
I used a spread of 2 and my equity curve with your code was much uglier than yours – what spread did you use? My trading time may be different too – what time are you trading on?
I got these results with that simple addition:

Ooops – just realised that I posted only images for 10K bars!
Here are the right ones:

Removing the trendlong and trendshort conditions from the second buy conditions helps a lot:
