GBP/USD 87% Profit since 2020

Unread post by immy »

This is a swing trading strategy based on the banana signal 1 and 2 only. 

Max target is 200 pips

Stop Loss is 25 pips 

The lot size is always 1

Account size 10,000

Trailing stop based on Fractals (not the BOX since fractals are made of 4 bars in mt4 shit coding) 

Win Rate: 37%  

Profit Factor: 1.48 (Looks pretty healthy).

225% No Compounding Growth GBP/USD 2012 - 2021

Unread post by immy »

Here is something interesting 

If you traded the GU wince 2012 with the banana indicator and took trades based on only 1 lot positions and let them run until stopped out trailing boxes, you'd be up 225% :) 


What kind of trades did the EA take? Here, have a look

How to Improve your Trading using this Data?

If you study the trades the EA has taken, you can learn more. We know there are trades you and I won't take due to several reasons. Here is a set of data for you to check your knowledge against. This is solid concert proof, now you go ahead and see if your filter rules will improve the game or make it worse?

I have for you a template that you can download and hopefully be able to see all the trades taken. You can add the current banana indicator on top of it and see which trades you would take and which you won'.t I am 100% sure a lot can be learned from this exercise. 

The MT4 Template with all the trades?

Impulse vs No Impulse Filter

Unread post by immy »

What if we test the data based on the 3 bar impulse filter we introduced in Version 8 of the banana indicator? 

Check the two tests side by side. 
Impulse vs No Impulse Filter.png
 
The Differences: 
  1. Trade Number is halved.
  2. Profit Factor went up from 1.13 to 1.36, massive.
  3. Drawdown 42% reduced to 37%.
  4. yet, profit went from 15868 to 18928.
  5. The Equity curve looks a lot smoother.

The Human Factor: Model vs Reality

Unread post by immy »

The Human Factor: 

Remember though the Human Factor: No matter how objective and elegant the code, The BOT (the trading expert advisor, script or algorithm) can’t really figure out the 4 Most Important Questions.

The first being, Is there an impulse move? The Banana Indicator comes with a flow chart of 4 Questions. We only take signals that have 4 YES answers to 4 Questions. It is hard to code some logic.

The pullback pattern that gives us the highest probability of winning occurs during trending markets. The pullback method is NOT to be used within tight ranges. The testing bot, (at least the one we are using for now) can’t do certain things such as;
  • It can’t figure out “Is there an impulse move?”
  • It can’t figure out “Is the move climactic”
  • It can’t figure out, “Is the pullback Impulsive?”
  • It can’t figure out, “Trend vs Range”; is the entry within the trading range or out of the trading range?
  • It can’t figure out, “Filter Tight Ranges”; How to Only take entries within trends?
And this, above, The Human Factor, if you like, makes the System HIGHLY Effective.

When the “human eye” or “observation”, assuming the trader exercises at least an 80% discipline, meaning being objective, can eliminate a lot of unnecessary losses. Because we can assess quality.

When you do this then the system goes from 35% Win rate to 66% win rate. And that makes it an extraordinary method to trade. Models are simple and robust. We can make them better when we are disciplined and worse when we trade with emotions.

The EA certainly has some fantastic potential if it can stop trading the ranges!  :wd
