Simple Moving Average Crossover Strategy

deletedaccount051022 · Wed, 26 Jan 2022 12:56:52 +0000

Hello, Enclosed is a very simple long only moving average cross over strategy. There are more sophisticated MA strategies elsewhere on this forum however, I have opted to keep it simple in this version. It uses a higher time frame filter to to identify an upward trending market and trades on the 15 min time frame based on an MA cross. It has been developed and optimized on 50k bars as part of a limited feasibility test, then run without any alterations on the full 200k bars and it’s still standing which shows some promise. Needs further development, draw down remains a challenge. With thanks to robertogozzi for his break even trailing stop logic, grazie mille – https://www.prorealcode.com/topic/breakeeven-trailing-profit/ Welcome all feedback, edits and expertise – thank you and happy testing.

Reason no trades after 17 Feb 22 is due to the variable settings shown below.

Re-optimise and trades are taken during 2022 and 2023

Timeframe(4 hour) //Long Entry Criteria MA1=average[p3,t3](typicalprice) MA2=average[p4,t3](typicalprice) cb3 = MA1 crosses over MA2

Timeframe(4 hour)
//Long Entry Criteria
MA1=average[p3,t3](typicalprice)
MA2=average[p4,t3](typicalprice)
cb3 = MA1 crosses over MA2

etc

Ha … it just clicked … maybe it shows / proves how much market structure has changed since the war started (24 Feb 2022)?

Optimising over long periods may not be the best?

I recognize the coding style immediately. 😁 This version is by Nonethless. I would rather guess Positionsize=0.5…?

I must assume you do not know how to use the PRT Platform Optimiser?

If above is correct then please watch the video on the link below …
