    I coded a strategy that works quite well when markets are sideways or mildly trend, but fail when the market start to trend with significant strenght. That behaviour seems systematic so I’m a bit optimistic (!) as it could mean that an automated solution can be found in theory. Any suggestion?

    Thanks

    Keep working on it and, possibly, other new strategies.

    Even when something seems right there can be ways to make it better.

    Browsing the tons of code in the forum you may find, even if not complete strategies that you like AS IS, many ideas to write new ones or change some that you already wrote.

    Some people complain, at times, due to their poor outcome when their strategies ar run, so it’s a pleasure to hear you feel your code runs fairly good. 🙂

    Thanks Roberto,

    I had already looked at many indicators but I didn’t find any that it’s fast enough (not lagging) and at the same time with “low noise”. I would need something that is able to indicate as soon as possible a probable new trend and after indicating it the indicator should stay “silent” until the next important movement. Yes, I’m happy about my code even if is still not providing profit, I see that it is stable and uniform in terms of performance. It would really be great if I would succeed this time because I have been trying to find a profitable system in trading for almost 5 years!!!…Discrectional trading before and now (since a couple of years) automated trading. I tested several tens of failing strategies so far but this last one sound promising….maybe just a last piece is missing to the code.

    All indicators lag which use averages and are bound to be curve-fitted. Maybe the fastest way is to use candlesticks patterns. Using i.e. daily timeframe to signal strong reversals patterns which can be used intraday in your strategy.

    Volume could also be used as filter.
