Today I had been doing some testing... looks like having entries on the original range has better performance (not the +5 pips)... also stops would not be triggered that easy if using oposite range... +15 target has made RRR much better and makes possible using so far away stops... thats at this points my inputs... nothing formal yet, just looking from a very general perspectives....

 

in resume what I actually looked at is :

 

Entry: 1 pip above/below break of Range (real one)

 

Exit : +15 pips

 

Stop : oposite range +/- pip

 

 

So far the + performance comes from the amount of positive days vs negative days.... cheers Walter.

Yes Thats a good idea ¡¡... it will give us diferent results and we can see where its the edge on this stats... I dont have much data... I wanted to test 1 year, but dont have that much... I understand you have at least one worth of data, could that be the case ? also what pair will you be testing ? cheers Walter.

Ok ¡¡ I will recap What I am going to do this weekend then :

 

I will manually backtest the following strategy :

 

Entry: 1 pip above/below break of Range (3 hour range before london open)

 

Exit : +15 pips net (will be a +13 pips gain after EFX comissions and spread)

 

Stop : oposite range +/- 1 pip and -2 pip costs

 

 

I will test USD/JPY since january 11 2005

 

I will only take one break per day.

 

So far this little set rules will be implemented on my backtest... with stats being on my hands after this plus an overall discretionary overlook.. then I will know what details can be changed to curve the results into a better performance... I hope I get this done before monday, we will see... cheers Walter.

Just a quick question Walter

 

How come you're using the 3 hour range before London Open and not just the 1 hour before as previously discussed.

 

eg 5am-8am rather than 7am-8am BST.

 

 

Cheers......Blu-Ray

Well that was an interesting modification Don did... i think it makes more robust and harder to break areas of the pre-london open so if you get a break there you will be more biased to expect some more action on that direction at least a sure foot 10 to 15 pip move... thats what this test its all about... so far at hindsight lots of positive days... cheers Walter.

Ok you got it ¡¡ thats the information we needed...

 

I will be trying this procedure I will update you how it went...

 

By the way I am planing to do a paralel test with this simple rules :

 

Entry: 1 pip above/below range (3 hours previous to london open)

 

Exit : 10 pips

 

Stop: -10 pips

 

wich means that once you got in is + or - 10 that would give us a 1:1 RRR and the edge would be the amount of positive days vs negative days...

 

 

Thanks Don for this great information ¡¡¡ cheers Walter.

    • Date: 26th November 2024. Trump’s tariff threats boosted Dollar; Peso, Loonie, Gold & Oil Lower. The Trump trade picked up steam as investors cheered his pick for Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent. Beliefs he will be a steadying voice in the administration’s fiscal measures, while still following President-elect Trump’s tariff and tax commitments, underpinned. Asia & European Sessions:   Trump threatened on Monday to impose sweeping new tariffs on China, Canada and Mexico on his first day as US President to crack down on illegal immigration and drugs. He would impose a 25% tax on all products entering the country from Canada and Mexico, and an additional 10% tariff on goods from China as one of his first acts as president of the US. Bessent’s 3-3-3 plan aims to cut the deficit to 3% of GDP, boost growth to 3%, and increase oil production to 3 mln barrels. Treasury yields dove in a curve flattener, extending their drops through the session, on expectations inflation will decelerate. A strong 2-year auction also supported. The Dow led the charge, climbing 0.99% to 44,736, a new record peak as the rally broadens. The S&P500 climbed to 6020, a session peak, but finished with a 0.3% gain to 5987. The NASDAQ closed 0.27% higher. Today, stock markets in Europe are posting broad losses, with the DAX down -0.6%, the FTSE 100 0.4%, after a largely weaker close across Asia. ECB: Lane suggests ECB must be open-minded on speed of rate cuts. The ECB’s Chief Economist said in a speech on Monday evening that “remaining open-minded about the speed and scale of adjustments is in fact a valuable strategy across various environments, as different situations may necessitate distinct approaches.” This careful, step-by-step strategy enables us to observe the responses of the economy to our decisions and continuously refine our understanding of their impacts.” The comments leave the door open to a 50 bp move in December, but also tie in with our expectation that the central bank will deliver a 25 bp while tweaking the forward guidance and commit to additional moves. Financial Markets Performance: The USDIndex hit a session high of 107.50 and is currently lower at 106.85. Mexican peso and Canadian dollar slumped as the dollar is being viewed as a haven after the comments of President-elect Donald Trump on tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China. USDCAD spiked to 1.4177 and USDMXN rallied to 20.74. Oil and Gold lost ground, in part on cooling geopolitical risks, and on Trump trades. Oil dropped -3.03% to $69.09 per barrel, in part on the Trump trade and on talk of a potential cease fire between Israel and Hezbollah. Similarly, gold fell -3.26% to $2605 per ounce.
