NASDAQ Mean Reversion

Hello,
A work in progress strategy based on a simple mean reversion idea inspired by Kevin Davey that I have adapted from a daily to a 15 minute timeframe. It looks for low volume and low price over N bars, then goes long. Only two entry criteria and one initial filter, and works well but needs improving.
The focus at this stage is to work on reducing the Drawdown, and potentially the number of trades, by use of an entry filter. Thought I would share this early version in the hope that people might have some useful ideas for a suitable filter.

Thank you,

One thing you might want to look at is the section starting at line 73 above. In a 10 year backtest no trades have gone to 1600 bars so those values are doing nothing. This is also the case for the Breakout code you posted.
This is the snippet I use for that function, closes very long-running positions whether they’re winning or losing. You have to optimise for b1 and b2 (b3, b4 for short).

b1 if it’s winning, b2 if it’s losing.
but I should add that this isn’t always advantageous, you should also try switching it off, with some algos it’s better to just let them run.

B1 is for pp > 0 and B2 is for pp < 0.
I have successfully used above on several of my Algos from my early coding days, I will get back on it again, now I see you’re using it Nonetheless! 🙂
I also optimised using broad values for positionperf (in lieu of 0 as above).

Thank you very much, I shall add this in and retest. Much appreciated.

I played a bit with the strategy, on DAX 1€, 200K units, 5 min-TF (mtf), changing just TP & SL and slightly the Trailing Stop to use PointsToKeep as sort of a trailing step. Performance is nice and WF is around 25%. I also commented out exiting on RSI:

I put the source for the original link at the top of the code, it’s pretty decent but I tend not to trade algos on a daily basis, only US OTC stocks.
