  How come PF-4H-2018-STXE has:

  maxPositionSizePerTrade = 6

  maxPositionSizeLong = 10

  maxPositionSizeShort = 1

   

  But on the backtest, there are some positions with 15 contracts?

   

  How do I know what to enter as ”Max position size” when I go live?

  Good Mornig everybody,

  I realized that there were several big losses in PF DAX, DOW and HS during the last days. Maybe the problem is the huge volatility in this time. Has anyone tried a filter to stop trading during very high and/or low volatility?

  Something like an ATR filter could disable trading when below x or above y. Reiner, did you test something like this?

  I’ve tried some change, and we can put some filter like “macd” “volatility” or “AVT”;

  for now in my test best results are with volatility filter, try to insert this at the beginning of the code like var.

  vol=(HistoricVolatility[20](close))*100//20 filtrolong=vol < 56 filtroshort = vol < 24

  1 2 3

  vol=(HistoricVolatility[20](close))*100//20 filtrolong=vol < 56 filtroshort = vol < 24

  and change line of the entry like this

  // long entry with order cumulation IF ( l1 OR l4 OR l2 OR (l3 AND f2) ) and filtrolong AND NOT alreadyReducedLongPosition THEN

  1 2	// long entry with order cumulation IF ( l1 OR l4 OR l2 OR (l3 AND f2) ) and filtrolong AND NOT alreadyReducedLongPosition THEN

  and this

  // short entry with order cumulation IF ( (s1 AND f3) OR (s2 AND f1) OR (s3 AND f3) )and filtroshort AND NOT alreadyReducedShortPosition THEN

  1 2	// short entry with order cumulation IF ( (s1 AND f3) OR (s2 AND f1) OR (s3 AND f3) )and filtroshort AND NOT alreadyReducedShortPosition THEN

  these value are optimized for PATH DOW, meaning change are only for the long trade (of course we are in long trend from 2010…)

  but change are impressive in my DOW opt look the foto, don’t look at the value the multiplier is too aggressive for a real account 😀

  this is with macd as filter

  mac= MACDline[12,26,9](close) filtrolong= (mac > -50) and (mac < 115) filtroshort= (mac > -70) and (mac<70)

  1 2 3

  mac= MACDline[12,26,9](close) filtrolong= (mac > -50) and (mac < 115) filtroshort= (mac > -70) and (mac<70)

  same as before, look the photo for results

  HS50 came in with a nice €2k profit this morning!
  But I still have to recoup the losses from two Wall Street (€1.6k + €1.3k) and one Australia-200 (€1.6k) trade.

  I also urge everyone here to get a summary from IG for the last year (email to support is enough).
  I was really surprised that my fees exceeded over €3k while my credited dividends only came to €1.5k.
  Always good to have exact numbers, for your own profit calculation.

  Reiner sent me 3 new 2018 algos: US500, NASDAQ and SILVER. I have updated the dropbox with screenshots.

  US500 and NASDAQ are great, but I can’t get SILVER to work properly.
  Maybe you guys can help me out, what I am doing wrong (wrong instrument?, not enough candles?).

  @Pfeiler,

  Regarding Silver. In line 5 of the code it says AG $5 mini. There is only one instrument available with $5 per pip value. The other ones are 5000 oz and futures.

  So it looks like you are using the right instrument. Maybe you do not have enough history available or you have to increase your units.

  Attached also a report with a history from 2010 in tick mode. Without tick mode it goes even back to 2006.
