Discussing the strategy VECTORIAL DAX (M5)

Hi Fifi, that concept can be expanded in multiple ways.

with above example, i.e. when lowest[barindex-tradeindex](close) was below another line, which means there was a fast run-up where you prevent buying near the top. If prevented buying on the top, it could still be considered to close a short position.

Also for exits, although then it’s best to have the code below the entry , something like this

if tradeprice(1)>fibobear62b and highest[barindex-tradeindex](close)<fibobull62b then
if close crosses under fibobear62b then
sell at market
endif
endif
if tradeprice(1)<fibobull62b and lowest[barindex-tradeindex](close)>fibobear62b then
if close crosses over fibobull62b then
exitshort at market
endif
endif

Although all this would not give a greater equitycurve, maybe if programmed well could results in an algo with a smaller stoploss like 0.5 to 1%.

i’am was optimistic 🙂 lowering it to 1% would be nice for this timeframe. For now I keep it for testing at 2%.

I did had a look at the reversal exit code.

While I splitted short in 3 sections, there are all the same.

The problem was long which didn’t work before, there splitting worked. Ofcourse all curvefitting after the fact.

It’s not robust, because i.e. slippage & high spread could influence this too. But I always like to try something new even if it fails.

The idea; if the position doesn’t gain ground after opening,  the criteria for the range is lower which increases the chance for an early exit.

Also a gap rewrite.

This setup is working very unklucky the last 7 days. Every time switching the position on low/high and turn into the other side. 9 SL in a row is not normal for that strategy. Hope it will work  better the next days.

Attached the new itf.

Hi, I have added a routine that close position if loss or profit aftert X bar and I have optimize the variable longexit (for reversal)…it seems to have some improvement. Thanks

@Paul

Its 10s yes, but on DJ, not DAX right?

no loaded on the dax 10s, the dj version for 3 min v3p5

@volpiemanuele, thanks for all yours algos. I launch the DJ-3m-Vectorial-V3p5_v1, but it crashed.

@Nicoeni1: I was wrong to share the file … this is the correct one that I also use in real. Thanks
