Simple Moving Average Crossover Strategy
-
Have added a volatility filter to the original 15 min version, which was optimized over the last 50k bars. Reduces draw down and increases performance so net happy with this minor addition. Will rerun the Walk Forward process but expect little change.
Am also testing the 5 min version which kindly posted as this too looks very promising.
Quick update – strategy has stayed out of the market since Jan 20th and good job too for a long only strategy.
here’s a revised 5m version – better long term performance with lower drawdown, positionsize = 1
altered the 4h filter and added StochasticRSI
took one loss in Feb, but otherwise managed the Ukraine mess fairly well (so far)
GraHal, Roger, ProfitAlgos and Fabiano thanked this postthe 3 functions after the trail are standard bits of code that i add to most algos, the effect varies from one to the next. In this case they collectively add about 3%
If you’d rather not have an extra 3% then I suggest you switch them off immediately 😁
Attached are the results with a constant exposure value of €10k, gives a better visual on the histogram and the curve.
monkeys nuts, ProfitAlgos and Souhail Sam thanked this post@nonetheless Here is my backtest for the same period and Position size 1 MM off so you can see the huge difference :’D . I added also the parametres. Thanks for you help.
Thank you, it ads a bit of amelioration but still not that great performance that you have.
This is my code, no spread for this backtest, no MM, parametres are the same.
I’m ready to change the time zone for PRT if it will improve my results.If you can’t see any solution. I will not be a problem. I am already grateful for your contribution.
