Perfect Trend Indicator with automatic trading

  Hi All,

  This concept really caught my eye – I actually downloaded this as an indicator a while ago. I think it has some real use. On using it for shorter periods, it has an acceptable success rate – which is exciting as usually, you have to tweak parameters etc.

  I wondered why it doesn’t also include short opportunities. Was there a specific reason?  What would need to be added if that was feasible?

  It also doesn’t follow the indicator sometimes (even when I tweak operational hours, pips etc), posting trades on ‘grey zones’ (occasionally after a ‘downward zone’) – is that correct and part of the strategy?

  Of course as reference, I am using this indicator https://www.prorealcode.com/prorealtime-indicators/perfect-trend-line/

  Best, Tom

  Please find below the strategy that trade both long and short orders. I added stoploss and takeprofit as parameters. There is no longer bars wait between 2 orders of the same time. You might want to adapt the flatbefore and flatafter time too.

  Hi Nicholas,

  Thanks so much for your reply –  especially with your busy schedule.

  I have moved forward with the code (learning as I go). I also have upped the period for the MAs as I wanted to trade over a higher timeframe (Daily) and increased the take profit etc. This will only trade on the GBPUSD.

  It made sense to add trend detection to the code to try and steer clear of any ranging markets and found a simple logic (that I believe you may have made yourself a long time ago).

  It works well in theory, and will require further tweaking, but it seems to only trade short positions! I have tweaked the MAs as I thought it could be misaligned with the cross of the perfect trend, but it still doesn’t seem to work!

  I’d love to get your take on it.

  Best,

  Tom
