Could someone test it please ? Because I am not sure about the Tradingcosts ( Spread )
Normaly there are not big costs ( Spread is only 1 Tick )
DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False // Kumulieren von Positionen deaktiviert
a1 = highest[20](high)
a2 = lowest[20](low)
buy 1 shares at a2[1] limit
sellshort 1 shares at a1[1] limit
i have use it in 5min 10y Tnote ZNxxxx
or is there a big mistake , what i not see ??

Why do you think there are “big costs”?
What do you see in the statistics that is not correct?
because it is so an easy program – but better then all i have written till now.
I think there a NOT big costs .. so I think it should work.
but could it be that easy

Okay, now I understand what you mean.
The above is the program you have written and you are shocked how well the program performs 😉 and because it generates a lot of positions (10,216) you want to know what the spread is of the relevant 10 years T-note.
I also tried your program with the available XL (Future 10-year T-note)
(see screenshot)
There are a lot of holes in my price data and I think less data than in your statistics.

Because the markets are currently closed, I can’t control the spread in real time and on the IG site I can’t find the spread very easily.
It looks like a promising idea…

Which T-note do you use exactly because I can’t find ZNxxxx, with me only XL with point values of 2$ and 10$.
yes )
you use the data from IB or IG .. I have used the data from Prorealtime. There are no gaps. ( maybe rollover ….. )
I tried it also on eur/usd , usd/jpy … it is the same. Only trendmarkets are the opposit.
sorry for me bad english
you have used the right symbol

I use the data from IG.
The data in ProRealTime comes from IG or IB, I think you use IB.
I’m going to find out what exactly happens, what I do want to warn about is that the results from a back test can be completely different from the results in real life…
don’t cheer too loudly yet 😉
i know ) i have had this …
but i think it could help ( to find a strategy ) .. when it is better to trade “antizyklisch” or “zyklisch”

I’m afraid the spread will kill your system…
With a low average profit and so many trades, the spread and other costs have a (too) big influence…
Put your system live in demo tomorrow, then you can see a bit more…
