Hello folks,
here is my very simple strategy on SP500 (spread 0.4). Long has been consistently working well for months, so I disabled short. I found the settings around September 2022, so I can say that the strategy has been working in the raw version for at least the last year. The main trend is none other than the MA20 from the TF M15. The MACD entries work in reverse, so the bot enters each mini-pullback and tries to make a profit. The tandem filter works as a trend filter, although it should be used with caution. Can easily be over-optimized. The strategy is also only positive with a MA20 filter and a very low drawdown. The TP/SL ratio is 1:1.1 and I’ve kept it that way since last year. The only thing I tweak from time to time is really the tandem filter.

@PeterSt Can you try it on PRT-IB how the curve looks there?
I would appreciate opinions and suggestions for improvement (perhaps a better filter?).

Sorry, I can’t see the “Insert code” option.
