One year after

Aloysius · Thu, 29 Mar 2018 15:52:05 +0000

As the idea has come in Pathfinder topic, I open a new thread to make a review of old codes published here that have well passed the “real market” test. So the idea is to consider, one year after, or a few months for code with short timeframes, this non tested period, to see if they are interesting. Unfortunatly we see that most of them fail in the real market, but some succeed, and it would be very useful to list them. As a first contribution, I present the one I have in live trading now, and which is in gain for some time: it seems to come from Francesco (thanks!) but sorry I can not find the initial post. The instrument is EUR/USD with a 1h timeframe. //------------------------------------------------------------------------- // Code principal : ATR EURUSD francesco 1h //------------------------------------------------------------------------- // EUR/USD(mini) - IG MARKETS// TIME FRAME 1H// SPREAD 2.0 PIPS DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False DEFPARAM FLATBEFORE =080000 DEFPARAM FLATAFTER =210000 indicator1 = Average[200](close) indicator2 = Average[50](close) c1 = (indicator2-indicator1)/close c2= abs(c1)<0.012 atr = AverageTrueRange[30] if c2 then m = 2 profits = 70//100//130 losses = 40//40//40 // LONG IF (abs(open-close) > (atr*m) and close > open) THEN buy 1 CONTRACTS AT MARKET SET STOP pLOSS losses SET TARGET pPROFIT profits ENDIF //SHORT IF (abs(open-close) > (atr*m) and close < open) THEN sellshort 1 CONTRACTS AT MARKET SET STOP pLOSS losses SET TARGET pPROFIT profits ENDIF endif One Year After library: (list of all strategies reported in this thread) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sVas9Tz5gA94nwu-dYWgeGKY1cud7HwvqKkeqjP1aIo/edit?usp=sharing

Mmm tweak looked good over 10k bars … as in less trades, but very similar overall gain etc.

However the verdi tweak over 100k bars looks worse … but this is with my optimised version, so my findings may be misleading??

@Verdi55 on the Charts you posted, isn’t the difference 104,799 – 104,091 = 708 (not 1503+ as you say?)

Ah my mistake you are stating in euros, mine is in £’s.

I optimized nothing, I just took out the logical error.

No optimizing in hindsight here, please ! It is like sitting in the casino and telling yourself : If I had known the ball would have hit the fence here and a second later there, I could have known I should have placed everything on 17.

I just ran the corrected version starting on November 1st, 2017, and the result is + 1593€, then.

I was reading the above values direct off your charts that you posted. anyway no biggie thanks for telling us about your tweak.

Probably my mistake with me diving in and out too quick and making comments while watching my trades etc?

Aloysius was asking here : Which systems have performed well one year after the end of the optimization period ?

Not : Do you have a system that works well over all times and all circumstances ? We all know that there is no such system.

A good system works well under certain circumstances and has only small losses under others. Like your lower curve, I’d say.

And as Vonasi said before : position sizing does not seem to add much in this case. Only the system’s volatility gets higher, then.

@GraHal – I would say we are better to stick on this thread to the original code that has survived one year otherwise we could end up with 200 discussions about 200 different strategies and then another 200 discussions about another 200 optimized/modified versions of them! It would become very confusing or just get taken over by one strategy.

If someone wants to discuss or share an updated version then it would be much better to start another thread about it or add it on to any original thread regarding that particular strategy. Posting a link here to say where the discussion is happening may be helpful to some who are interested.

This thread then just becomes a place to come and look for potentially proven strategies with links to where to find out more about new developments of them. Maybe in a years time the new versions can get posted here as proven working updated versions!

Thanks to all for these contributions. I agree with Verdi and Vonasi about the fact that we should limit our discussion to systems that have succeeded, and not those that could with optimization. Anyway, it is possible to propose some minor adjustments on the existant variables, but creating new modules, like a filter to eliminate bad trades, might lead to over-optimization. For new propositions about these codes, it is possible to reactivate old threads dedicated to them, or it is also possible to create new threads for new ideas coming from this one. Thanks Grahal for the link for the sheet, that should be useful. I will search again for the initial post of Francesco’s strategy.

I hope my conclusions from 151 days ago were correct, I did not think about them once again now.

Anybody have any thoughts or conclusions re the Verdi55 tweak in the post above?

Have you incorporated it in the version you are testing out?

Or is it too much adultery for you from the purist original version? 🙂

Or maybe, like me, you can’t work out what that bit of the code is doing anyway (and lots of the rest of the code?) 🙂

GraHal
PS I do agree re the group decision to keep this Thread ‘purist’ and to post – optimised code and / or suggestions for changes – to the Thread from which the original code was sourced.

Report of FBS strategy on Eur/usd habe been made, but not yet on GBP/USD, very good too: here are my results for the last 6 months in demo : no loss.

I have been running a variant of this on M30 live (GBPUSD). I stopped it for a period when exploring Ninjatrader (..), but is back and have started it again.

Also on EURUSD H1. To confirm earlier posts.
