  I developed / expanded on Roberto code from link below.

  Which Equity Curve / Performance (v1.o, v1.1 or v 1.2) would you set going on Live and why … easy / friendly bit of weekend discussion? 🙂

  I’d go for version 1.2, since it has the lowest drawdown still having a fairly good gain.

  What scares me a bit is that the max consecutive number of losses outperforms max consecutive wins in ALL cases!

  Did you demo it for some time?

  No I just knocked them up while eating my breakfast this morning! 🙂  I’ll work on them more.

  If anybody wants the code as a basis for further development together then just shout up … I enjoy a bit of collaboration and light-hearted discussion! 🙂

  I think we would need the code for all three to compare what you have added/taken away to smooth out the equity curves and increase the returns. Often the best results are the most curve fitted.

  Thanks Guys, sorry for delay … been on my daughter’s house extension since this morning!

  Below are the results over 100k bars with spread = 4  (spread = 4 was also used on the 10k screen shots above.

  I will post the code and the .itf in a separate post (with opto settings) for each version.

  This will be child’s play for you two guys to improve the results!? 🙂

  In version 1.2 your target and stoploss levels will not be set until you have been on the market for one bar. Better to place them at the same time as you place the buy and sellshort orders.

  For what my opinion is worth…. when I see optimized stop loss and take profit levels my brain screams ‘curve fit’ so v1.2 is the worst for me.

  v1.2 and v1.1 both short on the DJI which I would never do as the strategy would be swimming against the tide. Shorting would be OK if we had identified that we were in a major recession – the news is the best indicator of this!

  The addition of optimized levels for Up3 and Dn3 conditions adds one more level of curve fitting but as the equity curve on v1.0 is so poor we need something to improve the strategy!

  Have you tried the v1.0 with just the Up3 condition added and optimized?

  Maybe using MTF in a slower time frame to identify good days to enter might be an improvement by testing whether it is a strategy that is better when buying in dips or when buying in trends.

  Re suggestions made on this Thread … if anybody wants to code them up into a System then feel free.

  Please then increment the version number and post on here  …

  • Old and new version Equity Curve.
  • Old and new Performance stats.
  • New version code.

  Thank You

  Use stochastic to buy the dip and sell the top is the best idea, but what happen when the indicator desync from price is a common problem 😐  Dynamic/adaptive period calculation could be something interesting to test here. There are many different ways to adapt period, one example for stochastic: John Ehlers Adaptive Stochastic
