The strategy is based on identifying overbought and/or oversold
moments for the market entry. To do this, momentum indicators like
RSI
and ADX are used. At the same time, it is verified that the market in
the long and medium term has a compatible trend with the entry type
(BUY/SELL), for this purpose different moving averages are used with
varying timeframes (1 hour, 4 hours & daily). The strategy is
multi-instrument, this version is using the EUR/JPY & EUR/USD pairs
(plus GBP/USD in the second strategy, see below), but future versions
could use more & different pairs. The strategy uses money management
to determine the trade volume, but allows the entry of a fixed volume
thus disabling money management. The strategy is selective in terms
of
the time to trade. This version includes a second strategy inside the
main strategy, it is a trend strategy on the GBPUSD pair and uses Mov
average (H1), RSI and the last candles to trade following the trend,
it trade only when the main strategy does not trade, is symmetric of
course, but is very strict and could do very little or even no trades
during the month, the SL:TP ratio of this strategy is 9:5. Finally,
the strategy also uses a martingale to try to recover from a loss.
The
StopLoss:TakeProfit ratio of the main strategy is 9:1 except if the
martingale is used. The version 2 fixes a bug in the trade time range.
The strategy was designed exclusively for the
Dukascopy Strategy Contest in April 2015, so will not work correctly
in a different period. Remember that the use of a copied strategy
violates the (4.d) section of the official contest rules (RCR).
