Custom Support/Resistance Round 1

[mackieben]

Hi all,

So myself, Ricardomax84 and OldMan51 have been putting our heads together to come up with a safe strategy which would not rely so much on exits like what everyone is crying out for. So our thinking was to trade from a support/resistance and use low risk and multiple pairs to help a broken support or resistance zone. Since it is such low risk, and such a high trading frequency, profit seems to be quite a bit.

UPDATE (26/10/17) - There was a bug in the hedge settings which Steve has fixed in version 4.71 which is a BETA so please use this version for Ricardo set files.

OLDMAN51

Oldman51's accounts are testing Ricardomax84's accounts on different leverage, as follows:
Mackieben SR 1:500

Strategy 3 1:400
Strategy 4 1:400
Strategy 5 1:400

The idea behind this is to get a different aspect of the strategies in different leverages.

Hey guys,

All cashcow strats have the hedge setting ON at 85% of the basket and 100% dd stop loss to give time for the pair to recover if things go wrong, or to do multiple close by, mannually, if needed with other pairs. We have not seen anyone using it so far, so we gave it a try. 

This crazy bad trade was done on purpose in backtesting and it recovered without blowing the account. You never know what might happen when you are not looking...

   

Also the cashcow strats running 2 strats on the same pair allow the margin not to be eaten by a deep trade basket since their margin usage is canceled by the other.

Notice also the news filters: The reverse strats dont have this on so you can profit with a news that triggers a big move, and after 2 hours the counter trend strategy can enter (normal set files, have news filters on)

Just give it a try in demo accounts and all feedback and questions are more than welcome

Excellent efforts Ben and his team, all the very best!

[bentera]

thanks for all the effort and for sharing!
Let's see, fingers crossed!
Did it easily survive when backtesting?

[nwesterhuijs]

I will give them a shot in backtesting. Just a question: Any reason RICARDOMAX84_CASHCOW_1_NORMAL_H4.set has VT set to 6 while RICARDOMAX84_CASHCOW_1_REVERSE_H4.set has VT set to 0?

Additionally, would it be wise to start these on a Sunday, given that it uses VT and therefore that would give you the best chance of 2 charts for the same pair aligning? Likely if you do it during trading hours, the VT will not be in sync and your idea of hedging will not work out as planned. Is that the reason why in myfxbook for these pairs I am missing either the normal trade or the reverse (only one direction of a pair is open), but maybe I am missing something, since I yet need to dive into these settings a bit more.

Regards,

Norbert

Hi,

Yes the normal with VT acts as the normal flex way to enter the market. 

If things go bad, like the GBPUSD the other week, the reverse set file will open and hedge the position until both can close,  so virtual trades are not needed because this will open when needed.

They have VT like that on purpose. One i want it to trade at the SR ( VT=0 ) and the other i want the SR to be a no trade filter (VT=6)

Thanks Guys for these strategies...I'm taking a look, and noticed that in the CashCow Strategy1 for  4hr charts, the two set files you would put on the same pair have different magic numbers.  Should they have the same magic number so we can use the Global Equity trail to manage profit when hedge trades need to be opened on 'reverse' charts?   Or is the idea here to manage profit on the 'normal' and 'reverse' charts separately?

Thanks, great work guys!

Hi,

Yes the idea is to have 2 different magic numbers
