which parameters would you then optimise?

There are many parameters, but with walk forward I focussed on the rsi stochastic, only 2 parameters, 10-50k bars, unlinked with 3 repeats. Whatever you try, likely the last week will be neutral to very bad.

@ichimoku18 yes your right that was the intend, changing it would make it worse, so I leave it at current & previous bar and removed the last part. It could be better written too.

Hi,

only the first 2. Having said that i’am just a bit experimenting.

lengthrsi   = 2 // rsi period
lengthstoch = 6 // stochastic period
smoothk     = 4 // smooth signal of stochastic a
smoothd     = 8 // smooth signal of smoothed stochastic

dax 10s today. I know it’s not realistic with the stops etc and a lot would needs to be changed, but still.

I use Stoch/RSI a lot, it’s one of my favourite indicators, but I find that you really have to optimise all the variables as each one reacts to other changes. With most indicators you usually have a reasonable expectation that if a value of 14 is good, then 12 or 16 will be a bit better or a bit worse. With Stoch/RSI values of 12, 14, 8, 2 could look good one minute then suddenly something like 8,6,8,4 is miles better – impossible to predict the optimal result. Default values are 14,14,10,3 as a theoretical starting point.

I usually run it with variations of 4 to 16 by 2 for the first 3, and 2 to 5 by 1 for smoothd  (must be >1). Unfortunately that makes +1000 permutations so it’s time consuming, but almost always worth it – can massively improve almost any algo if you get it right.

@tanou: The last entry was this morning at 5am and still in progress … my live account

Restart the platform because it works, I just made a BT

Do not hesitate to give me your feedback. I’ve worked on this, I haven’t fully optimize it for now, just had a look at the mistakes it was doing and try to eliminate them with a simple Ichimoku.

@Nonetheless & @Paul, hope you see something interesting, I think it is
