NDQ mean reversion 5 min Strategy

  Hi crew,

  Here I have taken a 1 min trade to a 5 min version that looks ok. It was a challenge to myself to create something with less limitations ie. time, hard stops etc. I cannot get it to run however and believe it’s to do with the MTF. I have used this feature to filter many trades but never had a problem.

  I can have it in my live portfolio but does not execute or get rejected, can someone please take a look? It should be trading in this environment.

  There is further work to be done on it’s entry, but for the most part seems ok.

  Line 10 should read:

  c1 = (close < indicator1[1]) //instead of c1 = (close < indicator2[1])

  1	c1 = (close < indicator1[1])  //instead of c1 = (close < indicator2[1])

  and line 47 should read:

  IF OnMarket AND (c6 OR c7 AND c8) THEN

  1	IF OnMarket AND (c6 OR c7 AND c8) THEN

  Thanks, and thanks for the MAX loss code I use it in everything and it has kept me safe.

  I liked the back test results with the failed code much better!

  Uh, back to the drawing board…I’ll poke around with it a bit longer. The 1 min version has been in profit for 6 months so I’m sure there is something in the concept of this counter trend trade.

  The 30min TF filter is neither here nor there to be honest. If I code the bot correctly it’s for the bin.

  Regards the Exit conditions of my inactive code (c6 OR c7 AND c8), without correct format of “IF OnMarket THEN” What exactly have I asked it to do?

  Because it does something which makes it amazing = 10%DD and 60%WR, 50% Annualized. It goes ballistic in a ‘bear mrkt’ and holds itself  in a grinding trend.

  Be honest, is this fools gold? Anyone?

   

  Cheers CC

   

  File attached is incorrect code and what I thought I was building!

  “IF OnMarket THEN” simply makes SELL (which means exit from a Long position) only IF ONMARKET, otherwise your code will end up BUYing in line 36, then SELLing immediately in line 48 before any position is even opened (and you will be returned empty reports).

  Beear in mind that backtests are only based (and optimized for) the past. There’s no forecasting skill in it!

  So, it’s wise to let any code run in autotradimg on a demo account for several months before letting it manage real money!
