Scalping EURUSD

  I have been reading about mean reverting strategies for intra days and in one article I red the author claimed that it’s actually easier to do it in the second half of the day when the movements are a bit smoother. To test this I made a simple bollinger band strategy and the result looks nice, but does anyone know if this is actually can perform on a longer period of time? I have only optimised the stop loss. Everything else is untouched.

  Defparam Cumulateorders = false n = 1 Starttime = 100000 Endtime = 220000 // Indicators blow = Bollingerdown[20] bhigh = Bollingerup[20] MA1 = Average[8] MA2 = Average[200] // LONG cb1 = (low < blow and close < blow) cb2 = (MA1 > MA2) cb3 = (currenttime > Starttime and currenttime < Endtime) IF NOT Longonmarket and cb1 and cb2 and cb3 THEN BUY n SHARES AT MARKET ENDIF cb4 = high > bhigh and close > bhigh IF cb4 Then sell n shares at market endif // SHORT cs1 = (high > bhigh and close > bhigh) cs2 = (MA1 < MA2) cs3 = (currenttime > Starttime and currenttime < Endtime) IF NOT Shortonmarket and cs1 and cs2 and cs3 THEN SELLSHORT n SHARES AT MARKET ENDIF cs4 = low < blow and close < blow IF cs4 Then Exitshort n shares at market endif SET STOP pLOSS 50

  Hi Eric!

  I’ve done the same. You can also change the exit conditions to only include the “close”. Including the other command makes no difference to the result.

  Here is a quick version for USDJPY (5min) spread 0.8. I have not worked on optimisation yet. I hav added the ADX indicator.

  Defparam Cumulateorders = false Starttime = 100000 Endtime = 240000 // Indicators blow = Bollingerdown[20] bhigh = Bollingerup[20] MA1 = Average[8] MA2 = Average[200] ad = adx[21] adlevel = 23 // LONG cb1 = (low < blow and close < blow) cb2 = (MA1 > MA2) cb3 = (currenttime > Starttime and currenttime < Endtime) cb4 = (ad > adlevel) IF NOT Longonmarket and cb1 and cb2 and cb3 and cb4 THEN BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET ENDIF cb8 = close > bhigh cb9 = LONGONMARKET AND DAYOFWEEK=5 AND TIME>=235000 IF cb8 OR cb9 Then sell at market endif // SHORT cs1 = (high > bhigh and close > bhigh) cs2 = (MA1 < MA2) cs3 = (currenttime > Starttime and currenttime < Endtime) cs4 = (ad > adlevel) IF NOT Shortonmarket and cs1 and cs2 and cs3 and cs4 THEN SELLSHORT 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET ENDIF cs8 = close < blow cs9 = SHORTONMARKET AND DAYOFWEEK=5 AND TIME>=235000 IF cs8 OR cs9 Then Exitshort at market endif SET STOP pLOSS 70

  Here is an updated version on the EURUSD. The major improvement is with focus on a lower draw down.

  Just a quick run.- It Looks like if only going short on the udsjpy ver- it gets better statistic. Long only provide 1.5%

  Hi Kasper!

  Where do you find the 1,5% gain? In my backtest (100 000 bars) I have the split 53,86%/87,5% between Long/short.

  1,5% would make sense on a 100 000  bars backtest because only about 3 months are positive trend, the rest is negative.

  Hi guys,

  I like this one so if you don’t mind me contributing, I’ve made some modifications and thought I’d share.

  1. Logic optimization: The system is quite slow over many bars so I’ve made some logic optimizations to have it perform a bit faster. It makes a considerable difference during optimization. It could be further optimized, but keeping it as readable as possible for now.
  2. As people from all over might be working on this I’ve introduced a GMT timezone offset variable so that you can keep the same times and just change it to +1 (if in the EU)  or have fun with it. It’s a clean way to shift trading time constrains forward of back with 1 number
  3. Stop loss selection framework – currently I’ve just got 2 options there: a static stop loss or (the one selected currently) a ATR based dynamic stop loss. This seems to perform better on USD/JPY – haven’t tested any more yet.
  4. Variable optimization selection framework so you can keep the same code base and dump different variable sets. (I haven’t optimized all the variables yet)

  // ADX-Bollinger Mean Reversion v 1.12 // Version 0.22 // DEFPARAM cumulateOrders = false DEFPARAM preloadBars = 300 once positionSize = 1 once GMTOffset = 0 // Your time zone reletive to +/- GMT (in hours) 1=gmt | 2=cet once optimization = 1 // -- Optimizations selection -- if optimization = 1 then // USD_JPY :: M5 (Jan 2016- Apr 2017) startTime = 090000 // 100000 endTime = 230000 // 240000 fridayEndTime = 225000 // bolUpPeriod = 20 bolDnPeriod = 20 maShrtPeriod = 8 maLongPeriod = 200 adxPeriod = 21 adxThreshold = 22 stopLossMode = 2 // 1: Static | 2: Dynamic stopLoss = 70 // For Static stop slATRmultiple = 6 // For Dynamic stop elsif optimization = 2 then // Add your optimizations here // elsif optimization = 3 then // ... and so on endif // -- Time zone adjustments -- startTime = startTime + ( GMTOffset * 10000 ) endTime = endTime + ( GMTOffset * 10000 ) fridayEndTime = fridayEndTime + ( GMTOffset * 10000 ) // -- Indicators ----- bLow = BollingerDown[bolUpPeriod] bHigh = BollingerUp[bolDnPeriod] MA1 = average[maShrtPeriod] MA2 = average[maLongPeriod] ad = adx[adxPeriod] atr = averageTrueRange[40] // -- Entry conditions ----- // -- Common Conditions (for both long and short) -- isTradingTime = (currenttime > startTime and currenttime < endTime) atADXLevel = (ad > adxThreshold) isLateFriday = (dayOfWeek = 5 and time >= fridayEndTime) if isTradingTime and atADXLevel then // -- long conditions only -- bc1 = not longOnMarket //and isTradingTime and atADXLevel bc1 = bc1 and (max(low, close) < bLow) //(low < bLow and close < bLow) bc1 = bc1 and (MA1 > MA2) //and (MA2 > MA2[1]) // -- Short conditions only -- sc1 = not shortOnMarket //and isTradingTime and atADXLevel sc1 = sc1 and (min(high, close) > bHigh) //(high > bHigh and close > bHigh) sc1 = sc1 and (MA1 < MA2) //and (MA2 < MA2[1]) else bc1 = 0 sc1 = 0 endif if onMarket then // -- Long EXIT conditions only -- le1 = longOnMarket and ( (close > bHigh) or isLateFriday ) // -- Short EXIT conditions only -- se1 = shortOnMarket and ( (close < bLow) or isLateFriday ) else le1 = 0 se1 = 0 endif // -- Execution Handlers ----- if bc1 then buy positionSize contract at market elsif sc1 then sellShort positionSize contract at market elsif le1 then sell at market elsif se1 then exitshort at market endif if stopLossMode = 1 then // static stop loss SET STOP pLOSS stopLoss elsif stopLossMode = 2 then // dynamic ATR based stop loss SET STOP pLOSS (atr * slATRmultiple) elsif stopLossMode = 3 then // Time based stop // - na - elsif stopLossMode = 4 then // trailing stop // - na - endif

  Hi Victor, I still get the same result on 100000 unit- However I had a 0 more in the initial capital- but it still off your results- what timezone are you in?

  Hi Maz- I don’t get our result at all? 🙁

  If I am correct you are 1 hour behind me(?) I’m at +1 GMT

  here is my results from your ITF file.

  what could be wrong?

  Not sure, Kasper. I have tried playing with the time zones and here are 3 different results attached. I see from the screen shot your results are displayed in Yen? Not sure what data feed or vehicle to market you are using or if that has something to do with it?  I’m sure it’s something simple.
