Bollinger & MA

{quote} As per definition price touched Bollinger band and crossed the MA. If so, following trades are per rules but ended in a loss. The green circle is a buy The red circle is a sell Is that correct @RiskFighter?

red dots at buy and sell. Two dots on each
please read and find the dots before you ask
Thank you for this great idea, RiskFighter.
I try to replace the EMA50 with Hull Moving Average 50. Please see the picture. Welcome your comments.

Hull Moving Average is more responsive and smooth.

I attach the hull moving average coded by myself.
The setting is as following

This is a very fine idea. I am not sure though how it works compared to EMA50. It might catch more trades because the HULL is quicker to react than normal MA's. I will try it on back trading to see the difference.

Thanks for that exiting input. I have used Hull myself a lot. Also did programe a robot that traded full automatic, but it lent data from the original indicator. Never got it to be the great winner, but I think that I am not done yet.

Now I made a walk through of your chart.

 

  1. According to rules this is not a trade. At least a wick must have been on the out side of the bollinger sideband within the last 5 bars. I know, the is a week spot of the strategy. On the other hand it does filter a lot of bad signals.
  2. Perfect. The Hull provide signal 1 bar before EMA and thereby gives a nice extra profit.
  3. Hull provide a signal which EMA50 does not give.
  4. Not a real signal because EMA is outside the bollinger band. I don't like that.
  5. Hull gives signal, but because of small signal bar it should not be traded.
  6. Nice signal from Hull which EMA did not give.
  7. Fake signal from Hull.
  8. Nice signal from both.
  9. Nice signal from Hull.

So Hull does in this case give more signals. Profit depends of the exit strategy.

So how can we use this?
It provides more signals. I am trading M30 in order to get many signals every day in order to be able to choose the best signals. But I think that H1 or greater TF is more reliable. So using Hull it would be possible to go to higher timeframes. I will try and follow that for some time.

7. Fake signal from Hull.
the second red bar touch lower band, we shouldn't short when the signal bar touch lower band, should we?
lower band means lower extreme.

You are of cause right. And I also wrote that in Post #1. So this is not a trade.

However in practise I take a look at confluensers and if it is strongly supported, a nice trend etc. I take the trade anyway.

{quote} Hi Aranneera In post 209 I said, that you made a fine trade, but there were no BMA signal. And that is still true. But I have today updated Post #1 and discovered a flaw in the text. I can see, that you are doing how Post #1 tells, so this is my fault. The line I have edited is this: EMA50 Must be crossed within 3 - 5 bars after crossing over the Bollinger side band. Otherwise find another trade. I think that you should read post 1 again. Because of this requirement there are many, many signals that BMA doesn't get, but on the other side,...
Thank you for posting the clarification. Godwilling will trade accordingly as per the new update.

The line I have edited is this:

 

  1. EMA50 Must be crossed within 3 - 5 bars after crossing over the Bollinger side band. Otherwise find another trade.

    Is it mandatory to be from 3 bars, if you cut at bar 1 or 2, is there any trade?

Every trade that appears until the 5th. bar is valid. 1 to 3 is just better.

@RiskFigher ...Today made overall $80 profit on my demo testing. This strategy is doing good. Only thing is when to exit/target. As you kept it open for us to decide... What I do is whenever I see $10+ total profit I close all trades manually. And wait for 'Robot' to give the next signal. Some trade I do close in negative. But overall on 0.1 Lot size - in few hrs of trading average $80 is great! Thank you Sir - May God bless.

That is a very fine exit strategy. Nice that you get some profit.

You know that I take only 1-3 trades and close for the day when I have a small profit. This is working so I will continue that. See the chart which is the trade today.
I could have taken much more profit, but it works like everyday is in posive profit.
But I will now open a new account with a new exit strategy. When I take a trade, it will exit whenever a bar closes outside one of the sidebands. I think most time it will be positive profit.

So it looks like you trade all the signals is that right? You do not analyze the signals in order to only trade the best? Nothing wrong in that approach. I think it will work fine.

Yes true I take all trades.. sometimes I do check... but 90% of times I just take the trade without thinking much!
Hello Riskfighter,

I've been testing on the 1 minute chart for the past two days
With amazing results, you can easily secure 30-50 pips and you get lots of signals as well. But you have to be fast so close the deal in less than 5 minutes

Did you get to try it?

I see you don't set stoplose, so if the price goes against the direction, how do you handle it. If I forget to close the order, my account can be burned?
This way sounds interesting, I will try this way, but close the order with EA

Very interesting!

  1. Are you taking all trades or selecting the best?
  2. What are your exit criteria?

Read post #1 !! Then read it again 10 more times before you ask.
Thread status.

  1. Many people have tried the robot / strategy, and they all seem to get profit.
  2. People have started sharing their way of using the robot. And it is most interesting and very valuable for me and everybody else.

Please keep reporting!!! Profitable? RiskReward, number of trades, Timeframe, exit criteria, supporting indicators or Price Action, anything else of interest??
