Strategy DayOpen Straddle for DAX
-
Oddly enough I was looking at this strategy last night, it only works well for long positions

@RoboFuturesTrader
Tested on 200k on 3min and 1min timeframe, does not look good as the last paul’s version
Please ignore the first 2 screenshots I hadn’t changed the opening time
The systems side by side at 3 mins over 100k bars are shown in images 5 & 6 and I have turned off the money management so that we are both using one point per pip
I chose the parameters that allowed for a smoother curve so you can see that my system has taken around 1/3 of the trades of Pauls system
Mine is based from Pauls original posting so I am keen to test the new code and new time frames
They are really two versions of the same system and when I looked down the optimisation report I preferred this version of the system, I have around 20 systems running now so I prefer to have fewer trades with a higher Gain/Loss ratio to help with management of capital
More great work from @Paul for the community
Paul thanked this post
