{quote} Hey These are some of the numbers I can see. Looks really nice for a simple BB model. I will try add some more features into this and show you the next test Any ideas as to what I could add into this? another filter maybe? {image}
Very nice work ICY.

 

  1. Different values of EMA could be tried.
  2. DBSDSUN are using Hull Moving Average 50 in stead of EMA50. Can you try that? I think it might improve. I know it is not easy to programme Hull. I have a robot somewhere where I could find the stuff.


I analysed all 28 pairs manually - I think it was monday this week. I found that:

  1. The strategy says that cross down EMA(50) must be within 5 bars from the cross down Bollinger sideband. That rule should maybe say "within 10 bars".
  2. I tested R/R at 1:1. Then it seemed that SL and TP could be 20 - 25 pips in general. Of cause it should be different for each instrument, but as a numbers game, that could maybe make a difference.

I expect that users of this strategy knows how to handle Stochastics as a support tool. And as I mention many place, you are wellcome to replace it with whatever tools you want.

I followed BK8 in the early days. And here is the thing. When he stopped, i had a short private conversation with him. And he said "I am profitable and is trading by a living". So the BK8 strategy were good.

I think the BMA is better ;O)

You can make any MA your trendline and I do know, that the 200 line is very popular. Just note, that when an instrument is trending nicely over some time, then half of the trend is gone for you, if you use MA200, because the direction of the trend often starts when the price is a long way from the 200 MA that it needs to cross for you to take the trade.

I never use 200 MA.

No it was just a short conversation and we have not seen him since january 2017.

I think that the BMA is a fantastic entry strategy. We just need to find the best exit.

I earlier have used the MACD. Rules: When you enter the signal then MACD must go in the same direction. Then you exit at the very first histogram bar that shift direction. Yes, often that shift is temporary and you could have got more pips - but hey, you got out with profit. Buy a new trade.

I will take a look at this during the coming week.

Edit: Nope, does not work with this strategy.

The above test using the Tradeview X platform was using a 20 TP and 20 SL, fairly simple, kinda works

I agree with you especially if the the trend is going for a long time , or distence between the candels and the 200ME is far

Yes. Risk/Reward = 1/1. And I also believe that 20 pips is aright amount of SL, TP.

Thank you for the reply, I'm busy automating the strategy with some added options for further testing, instead of having to go back. Just jammed up with work
