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.

MoD for NDQ

Been trying to make this work on other indices for ages, most of which have failed. This one has done well for the past few months in forward testing so could be worth a try, all suggestions welcome.

Long only – still working on a short version but it doesn’t look so promising.

Hi @nonetheless, the NAS-5m-MoD-v4S.itf version breaks the bill. There is something wrong? Thanks again

Hey Nonetheless !

Could you explain how do you procede do adapt this strategy on a new instrument ?

I tried like this by exemple for Nas Long :

-First optimise c1 and c3 and c5 with our defined sl/tp, and add one by one or two by two other conditions c7, c9 atc… with optimisation/wf on 100k units. At the end i add market analyse.

But didn’t obtain same variables as you… Could you explain your procedure ?

Thanks!

Also, it looks like 5.a is broken somewhere – I haven’t looked for the failure yet but it gives this result.
