Optimisation for BTCUSD Oscillator and trading settings. I have just ran some optimisations under the following parameters

BTCUSD, M1, (for the year to date). I first ran complete optimisation on the signal, type and timeframe for the signal. Then, using the one which had the most trades, I would then use that for the next optimisation, which was for the 2nd oscillator.

Test 1

ReportOptimizer-26546_1.xml

Set the signal 1 oscillator to cross out, cci and 3hrs

Test 2

ReportOptimizer-26546_1.xml

So taking the 1st Report, using the 3rd option which had 282 trades, I have the following single report

ReportTester-26546.xlsx

Then picking the best one here, I ran the following single test.

ReportTester-26546.xlsx

From the graph, it shows a good recovery in periods of massive turmoil. It also shows a high percentage on winning trades, about 64-72%, S/L. And these are profitable ones. The av holding time is 25hrs, so you might end up paying holding costs to your broker, so this is what you will have to factor in.

Hi,

BTCUSD.M5.01012020-12092020.set

Some further research I did with IC markets on a very high leverage. Please test yourself on your own broker.

Here is an .opt file with some settings to play with.

I would suggest that you run these scenarios yourself. Then see how it works with your own broker. At least it may save you some time or give you ideas of what oscillators or filters to play with.

Hello,

I have the following opt files for consideration and for opinions. I was able to make relatively strong profits but with large losses in some cases. But overall, given that BTCUSD is massively unstable, messing around with the risk parameters yields some new insight I suppose. Curiously, when calculating in pips and GBP, there was a massive difference in running single tests! So I post the full reports, but also, the 1 result that gave a good profit over time. But with a 34% drawdown! Just goes to show how mental BTCUSD is and the turbulence in trading in the covid era!

Thanks for the set file. But think of the situation of a person who starts in Feb or in May. They will be losing 600-800$! Let us work to optimize further.
