XAUUSD ZZ Breakout MACD Filter (no martingale)

Avatar
  • updated

hello together

I would like to present you my CP Gold set.

It is based on a 15 minute zigzag breakout strategy with 2 MACD filters and trailing stop.

Stoploss is set to 15% per 0.1 lot. for 0.2 lots accordingly 30%.

DD should be basically maximum the 30% respectively 60% (2 stoploss in a row). The set has a super recovery after a loss.

Once the ADX indicator is in place, I should bring the DD even further down...

I recommend a minimum of 1000k to start. but probably also works with 100 dollars :P

The Set is backtestes since 01.2017

Inital 4000 (0.1 Lots /1000)

result:

The profit margin in your setup is too short. 

So I used [Use closed bars only] to extend the profit period a bit.


However, the profit is still too small.


Is there a way to get as much profit as the red box as shown in the picture above?
Please give me some advice.

Hi Joel. Have you figured out a way to gain the profits in the red boxes?

I think the trailing stop size, the trailing step and the trailing stop start needs to be adjusted for us to achieve those gains I am just not sure of the exact parameter.

Perhaps we should try a few combinations and see what we get.

Alright so, that we must find another friendly broker to XAU or give up this set? 

You can try to find a Broker but i think it is no easy... Try always with a small Account first.

it doesn't seem to work in the real market... the set is very spread and latency sensitive. The tick quality from IC Markets is also poor for XAUUSD. In the backtest normal ticks are taken instead of real ones, because no real ones are available. the strategy tester logs this at the beginning of the test.
Thus, I have decided to give up the live test.

Why is that? Can you explain more detail as an author?
