system based on multi waves

TP : 1000 pips
SL : 500 pips

when %80 profit reached for a trade EA set trade BE

thats simple.

no indicators used including MA s.
so basicly NO optimization Possible. which what it should be.

1H CT & Bar Open BT. which is rough enough to get better forward results.
actual BT start Balance 1000$
with %0,25 Risk 1:400 leveraged account

Hi steve,

I wish you well with this

a couple of points jump out....

looks like you would have sat on your hands for the first 300 trades (4 years ish) waiting for some profit - you could get bored

more to the point it did not appear to lose in the period but did not make money either so must of hit a lot of BE trades, now your BE is set to 80% = 800 pips so I would suggest that

1. You are giving up too much hard earned profit
2. the system only works well in certain markets (last few years)
hi max

detailed report here

2000 - today
1H CT bar open BT.

yes system works with trending MKT.
when Chop it fails.
the issue is overall result is good without any curve fitting. NEUTRAL WINNER.
NO OPTIMIZATION. Coded & tested.

system basicly looking 3 depth waves.

this will improve. I am coding to test new algos to improve my manual trading. & if it works well I use it

there will be some improvments soon.

the main point is
NO GRID
NO MARTINGALE:

TREND TRADİNG

It says that there was a 1969.90% loss in June 2002. How can that be?
no clue
MFB report
dont how they calculate Loss
but şif there would be BT would stop
there should be something wrong with MFB calculation
as they are not able to calculate correct %DD too

yes clue
you must consider that this sytem has Equity > Balance
& MFB looking balance
but Equity is in profit

Thanks for posting the strategy here, Stevewalker.

I’m curious about a few things, first is the time for holding a position. As MaxDoom pointed out, there’s not a lot of activity the first few years, but also each position is held for weeks/months and sometimes a year or more! Seems more like an investment strategy rather than a trading strategy J. What would it do on a shorter timeframe, maybe with tighter stops/limits?

Also, when talking about the markets that it should perform better in, what if the next few years are choppy? I hope they aren’t, volatility is usually good for trading!

Thanks!

BB
correct
this may be called as an investment strategy & what I am trying to do is convert it to lower TFs if possible

Great! I hope to see updates about a new version, once available. Also, question on the leverage, I’m sure there are others of us out there, but I am restricted to the US max leverage of 50:1, 1/8th of the leverage used on the MFB results. Do you think this would require changing the logic?

Noticed you close many trades at same time without sit and wait for the SL & TP. What is the entry and exit signal ?
guys
I created this thread to share my experience & exchance experience with others.

at the end there may be a profitable system created. I actually trading manually & doin good. but as every bussines FX also needs improvments.

1st.

bar close in any condition means nothing. you can believe it or not.
when I had started trading read alot. one of the odds is codition of closing bar.
with my experience it means nothing.

the only we should look for is high s & low s

anything built as an strategy/system has to be based on high s & low s

Hey bud! Just saw this tread......interesting.....
ok. apart from the one for a long term strategy now I have a very simple SMA 150 strategy works great for 1999-today
original code works for both GBPUSD & EURUSD for 10 years.
I had imporevd the EURUSD little with better entry points with more zig-zags.

no optimizations. only more smaller zigzags.

now I am planning to merge to system long & short term togather.

long term
TP 1000 pips
SL 500 pips

short term
TP 20 pips
SL 95 pips
