VTTrader: Rich's Trading Systems and Indicators

Here is the T3 slope trading system that uses the T3 indicator's slope for trading - when the slope of the line is up it buys and when down it sells. The profit display on the bottom is updated every bar and currently shows 1050 pips in a 1 hr chart for GBP US.

It includes 3 types of stops:
ATR trailing stop that is always on (orange lines)
Initial stop that will execute at each entry if enabled
Trailing stop based on pips (off by default)

It also has a timer for entry, a counter that allows you to enter a trade (and not wait for the slope cross) and then set the counter to 1, and a profit target limit. I have included the TS plus a small screen and a zipped large screen shot. The slope periods' setting uses past data to prevent too many small unprofitable trades. You can experiment with different settings and view the profit to see the results.

Here is the T3 cross trading system that uses 2 T3s. It uses similar code tp the slope TS with various stops, a limit, and timer and gives you the cross option. Testing it on GBP 10min with 7 blue and 9 red and a timer of 2am-1500 shows 450 pips and kicks in before the FOMC news reversal on Thursday.

Here is my version of the Guppy MMA (which is a mod of the Bemac fantail indicator that removes some of the MA lines) and shows the difference between the long and short trend lines as described in the enclosed pdf.

Here is the Guppy MMA spread indicator that shows the difference between guppy MA 14 and 30 and gives clear signals for trading. A large positive reading is a good buy and a large negative is a good sell. It works on all time charts down to 10mins.

Here is the Guppy MMA spread Trading system that I have been testing for a few days. It uses the cross of 2 Guppy MMAs for trading and shows the difference in a window. The cross at 0 up is buy and the cross down is sell and exit from buy. An StDev line can be used for filtering and an ATR trailing stop is enabled by default (set ATR trailing period to 5 to disable). The timer is very important for lower time frames and is set on at 2am-12. The blue bar at the bottom shows when the timer is on. Limit is available for those wanting say 50 pips only and can be turned on. A counter setting is available so you can set it to buy 1, enter a buy trade, and then turn on the TS.

I have been testing it in 5min charts and during trends like today you can make 100 pips. During choppy trading like yesterday usually you can hope to break even or have small losses. It is set to JPY US (100 pips today) and GBP US (90 pips today) according to the profit display which is very accurate. JPY results must be divided by 100. All testing should be on a demo account only.

It can be made into an MT4 EA by using the cross of GMMAs for buy sell and have included an MMA indicator.

The Guppy MMA spread Trading system was a loser today in choppy trading in 5 min charts so I have made some changes and switched to 10 min charts now (5 min charts are always finicky so that a winner today may be a loser tomorrow). I try to stay in the smaller times if possible and am testing it in 10 min charts for now. The timer is very important in lower timeframes and is set on. Since most good trading is 3am-11am I have set the end time so that a trade will always exit on the hour/minute chosen. The revised TS is set for GBP US 10 min and has no losses with a profit display of 400 pips now.

Hi Rich, I just downloaded the above T3 Slope TS, yet coming up with some pretty scary results with default settings. I experimented a bit and results got even worse. Could you tell me what properties you've selected for all of your settings? Please be as specific as possible and list them out 1 by 1?

Thanks!

Let me explain the background for T3 slope. There was a lot of discussion about using it in MT4 on 4 hour charts, and I made this as an experiment to see if it would be a good TS to port to that platform. T3 is like many other TSs that are good at times and terrible at others and works best only in trends. This TS was doing well at the time, but overall the performance isn't that good. It uses a stop and reverse system along with a trailing stop that is always on. I don't recommend using this TS, but if you do trade with 4 hr charts. The slope periods use previous data to average out choppy trading, and higher values will prevent too many bad trades.

I have enclosed the TS with revised settings for 4 hour charts and shows 2200 pips profit using 800 bars history that goes back to April. It shows better results than any EA I've seen in MT4 so far. I have some TSs that do much better than this one like the Triangular TS in this link (shows almost 900 pips in 2 weeks trading) and will post them later. You have to be logged in to use this forum.

Just wondering if this is available for MT4??

Thanks!

Not that I know of. Similar results can be made from a T3 cross EA.

Trading systems are nice for long term trading but do not do well consistently in smaller time frames. For those who trade live during EUR US morning hours here is a simple manual system that will give good profits in 15 min GBP charts. It uses linear regression indicator set to 12 periods and 5 smooth triangular along with linear regression slope set to 21 periods and 5 smooth triangular on the bottom. They compliment each other in colors and slopes. During major news you may need to use 5 min charts but may not get filled.

The new version 1.81 works quite well for me so far. If there is a slowdown you may need to limit the trading systems windows and the bar history.

Thanks Rich!
Do you have the TS for the above?

Here is the Guppy MMA Deluxe TS 25 that uses 2 GMMAs crossing for trading along with a timer, stops, and a target limit. I have it in a 15min GBP US chart showing 320 pips profit going back 1 week to start you off.

Thanks Rich however i wish i could follow your system, i am new and looking for a system to demo trade for live trading latter, could you let me have the beginers guide to your trading system.
I appreciate

The best way to learn VTrader is to spend a lot of time studying the help manuals here:

http://www.cmsfx.com/en/platform/manual/

and reading the forums here:

Here is the Lin Reg EMA cross TS that uses LinReg and Exponential MA crossing to trade. It shows the profit display (currently at 320 pips) with Linreg slope on the bottom in a 15min GBP US chart. TSs will lose in flat choppy trading (like August) and will only profit in trending periods. All Trading systems should be tested in a demo first.

Kaufman's Adaptive MA is a good indicator to use in trading and has built in smoothing which helps in TSs. This system uses the KAMA slope to trade with up buying and down selling. KAMA is the blue chart line and the histogram is the difference in the current bar and the previous bar so that a positive value would mean an up line and a buy. It includes slope smoothing which averages out previous bars to prevent too many bad trades with small movement. The profit display is on the bottom. Like all TSs it works best in trending periods only and will lose in choppy trading. Test it in a demo only. The zip file is a full screen shot of the TS - forum rules allow only 600x600 pixels in jpgs.

Bump.
