  jebus89: Final? I doubt it, but it’s the latest 🙂 I think many people are running it live.

  Does anyone know what parameters to change for different account size?

  DAX V7-2

  e.g for a 20k account?

  @Roxxuz: You can see how many contracts the system will buy every month when the conditions are right. Best way to reduce risk/drawdown is to lower the amount of contracts.

  @ozz87

  Thank you.

  But when I change this:

  ONCE positionSize = 1 // default start size ONCE trendMultiplier = 2 // >1 with dynamic position sizing; 1 without ONCE maxPositionSizePerTrade = 10 // maximum size per trade ONCE maxPositionSizeLong = 10 // maximu size for a long position ONCE maxPositionSizeShort = 10 // maximum size for a short position

  1 2 3 4 5

  ONCE positionSize = 1             // default start size ONCE trendMultiplier = 2          // >1 with dynamic position sizing; 1 without ONCE maxPositionSizePerTrade = 10 // maximum size per trade ONCE maxPositionSizeLong = 10     // maximu size for a long position ONCE maxPositionSizeShort = 10    // maximum size for a short position

  to this:

  ONCE positionSize = 2 // default start size ONCE trendMultiplier = 4 // >1 with dynamic position sizing; 1 without ONCE maxPositionSizePerTrade = 20 // maximum size per trade ONCE maxPositionSizeLong = 20 // maximu size for a long position ONCE maxPositionSizeShort = 20 // maximum size for a short position

  1 2 3 4 5

  ONCE positionSize = 2             // default start size ONCE trendMultiplier = 4          // >1 with dynamic position sizing; 1 without ONCE maxPositionSizePerTrade = 20 // maximum size per trade ONCE maxPositionSizeLong = 20     // maximu size for a long position ONCE maxPositionSizeShort = 20    // maximum size for a short position

  … then I expect double gain and drawdown in backtest, but I don’t get that.

  Is there some parameter I am missing to use double account size (20k).

  Why don’t run two time the same strategy ?

  @reb

  Thank you. I tried your code, but I get an error.

  Undefined variable: MaxPositionSizePerTrade

  I used the latest version (DAX 7-2) and replaced with your code.

  ONCE positionSize = 1 // default start size ONCE trendMultiplier = 2*positionSize // >1 with dynamic position sizing; 1 without ONCE maxPositionSizePerTrade = 10*positionSize // maximum size per trade ONCE maxPositionSizeLong = 10 *positionSize // maximu size for a long position ONCE maxPositionSizeShort = 10 *positionSize // maximum size for a short position

  1 2 3 4 5

  ONCE positionSize = 1             // default start size ONCE trendMultiplier = 2*positionSize          // >1 with dynamic position sizing; 1 without ONCE maxPositionSizePerTrade = 10*positionSize // maximum size per trade ONCE maxPositionSizeLong = 10 *positionSize    // maximu size for a long position ONCE maxPositionSizeShort = 10 *positionSize   // maximum size for a short position

  and then

  ONCE profitLastWeek = 0 IF DayOfWeek <> DayOfWeek[1] and DayOfWeek = 1 THEN IF StrategyProfit > profitLastWeek + 1 THEN positionSize = min(trendMultiplier, positionSize + 1) // increase risk ELSE positionSize = max(1*positionSize, positionSize - 1) // decrease risk ENDIF profitLastWeek = strategyProfit ENDIF

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

  ONCE profitLastWeek = 0 IF DayOfWeek <> DayOfWeek[1] and DayOfWeek = 1 THEN IF StrategyProfit > profitLastWeek + 1  THEN positionSize = min(trendMultiplier, positionSize + 1) // increase risk ELSE positionSize = max(1*positionSize, positionSize - 1) // decrease risk ENDIF profitLastWeek = strategyProfit ENDIF

  Is that better now ?

  @reb

  Thank you.

  I tried backtest with the original code and with your code on DAX V.7-2 with 10000 units.

  Original code has a gain of: 594,25%  and a max drawdown of: 2273€.

  Your code has a gain of: 583,67% and a max drawdown of: 3668€.

  Hi everybody,

   

  first of all I have to say thanks @reiner for sharing the code!

  “My real money” HS went short this morning at 5 am – anyone who can confirm this?

  Short question… where (IF) can I get access to the dropbox? I found the url but I would need the password. Thanks in advance!
