Hi Guys!

 

I am new here and keep trying different strategies on Demo as well as couple of times tried Real account.

 

Currently I am using these chart configuration:

 

  • MACD + Williams %R
  • Daily Resolution

 

For my testing I used Popular markets under £50 margin for £0.5 only.

 

My strategy was easy: as I see uptrend on both indicators (set by default) I would buy and if downtrend then sell.

 

Stop level guaranteed always 100 pips down. No limits.

 

So far after a month of using this strategy on Demo I found some patterns:

 

  • Indices downtrend is almost always profitable
  • Indicies uptrend never profitable
  • Forex works in both ways but more volatile
  • Because of above not profitable with my stops

To close the positions I used simple method (probably stupid but worked) as once I see profit >£20 I would close the position. Otherwise stops would eat everything. Usually that would take max 2 working days to close. 

 

As I have read and logically profit vs loss should be ideally 3:1, I have tried 2:1 and even 1.5:1. However, something went wrong.

 

Currently I set up again to 2:1 just for test.

 

What do you think, guys, and what would you suggest to change/add or just kill it?

    • I've developed an initial version of a market sentiment checker, which utilizes the concept of weighted log returns to gauge the mood of the financial markets. This tool is designed to simplify the complex task of assessing market sentiment by analyzing fluctuations in price data. By applying weights to log returns, it emphasizes the significance of certain data points over others, offering a more nuanced view of market dynamics. This approach allows for a fundamental analysis of market sentiment and provides insights into the current state of the market at any given moment. It serves as a valuable tool for investors and traders looking to make informed decisions based on the underlying sentiment driving market movements. sentiment-sleuth - Github Link
    • Demo account: Please note that conditions on demo accounts may differ from real accounts. Some brokers may only provide overnight loans on real accounts and not on demo accounts.
    • Swap Rate: Check the swap rates for your open positions. Overnight loans are calculated based on the difference between the interest rates of a currency pair, and if the difference is small or negative, you will not receive a loan.
