Mother of Dragons trading strategy…

nonetheless · Tue, 21 Jan 2020 10:47:18 +0000

Well, I had to call it something, right? Attached is the first code I’ve put together that ‘seems to work’. Survives all manner of WF tests: 70-30, 50-50, 30-70 – however you want to chop it. Also does well in Vonasi’s robustness tester, Random 10-10. I tried hitting it with a very big hammer but still performs well. Uses a combination of HullMA and Supertrend on the 2h TF to define the primary trend, then another HullMA + trailing stop on a 5m TF to control entry and exit. The 5m TF doesn’t give us much in the backtest but it does well in clear uptrends and downtrends. Just that choppy bit in March 2019 where it couldn’t cope. I hate to see whole month where a strategy doesn’t come good, but one out of 16 is not too shabby. It runs around the clock so I’ve allowed for a spread of 3.3, calculated for IG as: (6.5 x 2.4 + 6.5 x 1.6 + 2 x 9.8 + 9 x 3.8)/24 All backtesting was done with MM disabled but I ran the final optimization with it turned on just to demonstrate the boost it gives. Starts with position size = 1 and by the end of the run when equity has trebled, it’s placing position size of ~3.4, so more or less in keeping with standard practise. Also reduces position size in bad patches. Credit where credit is due: Vonasi wrote the Money Management part and coded the HullMA for me. The trailing stop I believe is Nicolas’ work – big thanks to both! But the really cool thing about this strategy is that the equity graph draws a perfect profile of Daenerys Targaryen! You might have to squint a bit, but if you can’t see Daenerys then you haven’t optimized correctly.

Interesting, I’ve not had that problem. I was holding a long position on US100 on the weekend of Feb 22,23 and took a big loss when it gapped down Sunday evening. You can see it on any chart, last candle of the week will close Fri 23:00 and the next candle to open will be Sunday 23:00

(with American Daylight Saving Time it’s Sunday 22:00)

@Bona25, FIFI not lovable? I have never seen someone so friendly, he always answers our problems on the forums.
He simply asked once again to respect the rules of the forum because on several occasions you wrote in “INSERT CODE PRT” …
Sorry but don’t take the FIFi message wrong 🙂

if you are Friday you bring your stop closer

Yes, that’s a good idea.

And of course, I wish I had had a guaranteed stop. But in that case (Feb 23) it was a manual trade so no coding involved, just hi-risk stupidity.

~~Fin de l’histoire.~~

@ FIFI for you in French.

The problem is how to answer and moreover without giving an explanation.

No need for your rude comments.

End of the story.

@nonetheless Now do you understand why that time I thought I had found the perfect strategy I was reluctant to make it public?
Knowing that these rude and pretentious people are there to take advantages from our work makes me mad, even if it goes against the principle of public community.

Nicolas

Hello everyone, I have been following this topic since it opened and I must say that I really like what I have read there since. I am surprised by the content of the last exchanges, which it seems to me, should not exist in view of what we all form here, a superb community of enthusiasts of trading and programming 🙂

In the current context, there are many of you on the forums and our workload (to us the moderators) has considerably increased. To this end, I would ask you to please, all of you, behave correctly and avoid wanting to shout louder than the others (difficult on a forum you will agree).

A big thank you to @nonetheless for his work and his sense of sharing, to @fifi743 for his availability and patience.

I would like to remind you of a few simple rules which allow us to keep a forum clean and tidy and which saves us a lot of time: avoid using excessive quotes from other messages; always be courteous and polite; write in the language of the forum. A big thank you to everyone, have a great Sunday despite the confinement.
