BBands Trend Follower / cTrader platform - Automatic Trading System New release "BBands Trend Follower 02.21" In the new release we have added and implemented the following parameters: - Strategy Auto Select: with the cBot running, change automatically the strategy (Reverse or Breakout) after a certain number of losses specifying from the parameters after how many losing trades will be applied. - Gap/Spike Protection: It protects against opening "Gaps" and sudden "Spikes" that can generate continuous opening and closing of positions. - Solo SL/TP exit: if selected, it uses StopLoss or TakeProfit as the only exit strategy. - SL/TP & BreakEven: if selected, it helps the main exit strategy or the "Solo SL / TP exit" in bringing the StopLoss above EntryPrice as soon as you are in profit. - Money Management (Position Sizing) on winning and loosing trade. If the previous position was closed with a profit, increase the volume of the next position. If, on the other hand, the previous position was closed at a loss, it decreases the volume of the next position. From the parameters you can set the amount of volume to increase or decrease by setting the number of trades where to apply it. Gap/Spike Protection: Opening Gap Spike Equity Line with "Gap/Spike Protection OFF"   Equity Line with "Gap/Spike Protection ON" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Trading System uses Bollinger Bands for volatility, but is used in a different way than usual, with long periods and Standard Deviation from 0.1 to 1 with a weighted moving average (it looks like a river). The Bollinger Bands serve mainly as a filter in entering the market avoiding periods of laterality. cBot can be set as Reverse or Breakout strategy, the optimization will indicate the best strategy for each particular Currencies Cross, indices, Metals, Crypto Currencies. Exit strategy is Trend Follower. This strategy is characterized by more trades in loss of small amounts and less trades in gain with larger amounts, the ratio is 55/60% trades in loss and 45/40% trades in gain. The strategy exploits the evolution of the trend while cutting losing positions if the market moves against. Money Management with Position Sizing on winning and loosing trades. In the event that there is a series of loss trades, Position Sizing (on Lose) is very effective as it reduces the amount of volume (lots) after each losing trade. If you have a series of winning trades the Position Sizing (on gain) increases the volume (lots) quantity after each winning trade. Money Management can be activated or deactivated. STRATEGIES DO NOT USE ANY GRID SYSTEM OR MARTINGALE In the markets of the major Forex Currencies Crosses, Metals, oil, Indices and Crypto some of them adapt better on Reverse/Breakout strategies and you can find it out through optimization. DOWNLOAD DEMO VERSION In the strategy:(All positions are protected with StopLoss) - Select Reverse/Breakout strategy - Strategy Auto Select - Gap/Spike Protection - Solo SL/TP exit - SL/TP & BreakEven - StopLoss & TakeProfit are automatically assigned. (Depending on volatility and volume traded in the book) - Money Management (Position Sizing) on winning and loosing trade.  - Exit Strategy: Trend Follow (TakeProfit is floating and is used only as security in case the bot is no more controllable due to connection failure or other causes. When the Bot is active the position is closed only by the StopLoss which Trails). - As soon as you enter the market if the price moves against your position, the Position is closed before the stop Loss is touched. As soon as the Trend Follower is automatically activated, the position is closed only by the Trailing Stop Loss. The Trading System has been designed to work at the best with all types of Forex Cross Currencies, Metals, Oil, Indices, futures and Crypto Currencies that are sensible to Reverse or Breakout strategies. Pay attention to the Trade volume for each instrument as it changes from Forex to CFD (Indices, Metals, Oil, Futures and Crypto Currencies). Some Brokers for CFDs give you the opportunity to trade all of them with micro lots. Others use different Lotsize (example for Indices minimum 1 contract, Gold 0.1 / 1 Oz). In the Trading System, if you enter a wrong Volume value, the Bot will automatically use the minimum tradable volume. Warning: when trading CFDs the results can vary widely between one broker and another. The suggestion is to operate on CFDs using the same broker in which the optimization was made. Backtest and optimization must be done considering the following parameters at best (lined up in sequence of importance and priority): - SharpRatio: (which is a reward to risk ratio) minimum value 0.13 - Max Balance Drawdown & Max Equity Drawdown: Max 15% better under 10%. Discard higher values. Rather than earning, you should consider what you can lose. If you don't pay attention to Drawdown, working with a high leverage is very easy to lose the whole capital. With high leverage you can earn a lot compared to the capital but you can also easily drain the whole account. Using Position Sizing (on gain) you can double or triple the earnings and in this case the Drawdown can go up to max 23%. Do it only if it is worth on increasing the gain. To reduce the Drawdown use Position Sizing (on lose) the gain in this case will be slightly reduced. - Profit Factor: minimum value 1.40 - better if it is higher than 1.50 - Net Profit - Trades number: all optimizations must be done over a minimum of 8/9 years period to have reliable results. - Average Trade: The average earnings for each individual trade. Considering an initial capital of $ 10,000, 200 leverage, (Forex) ordersize (bet) 0.10 lots (10,000 volume). The Average Trade must be more then 20.00 $ per Trade P.S .: When you optimize or backtest put Commission to 50 (x million) and Spread to 2 for major Forex crosses and more for minor crosses. This is used to amortize slippage. - The parameters attached to the bot have been optimized using ICMarket Broker from 08/02/2011 to 01/03/2020. (with some parameters the Drawdown comes out higher then 15% because it was worth pushing on the Money Management (Position Sizing on gain). Initial capital of $ 10,000, 200 leverage - Forex Currencies: ordersize (bet) 0.10 lots (10,000 volume), Commission 50(x million) and Spread to 2. - BitCoin/USD: ordersize (bet) 0.30 lots, Commission 50(x million) and Spread to 167.   To avoid "Over-Fitting": - Optimizations and Backtests must be performed for at least 8/9 or more years for reliable results. The optimization done on short periods is not absolutely reliable. Professional traders optimize and backtest their automatic systems using very long periods (10/15/20 years) of data feeds with paid Data Feeds providers. All Brokers who use cTrader platform for Forex give a free set of Data Feeds of about 8/9 years and for CFDs 5/6 years. - To test if the parameters obtained are robust, do backtests by varying them slightly (do not change REVERSE/BREAKOUT selection). If you get positive results, even if qualitatively lower than the optimized ones, this means that the parameter set is robust and not "Overfitted". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DOWNLOAD DEMO VERSION Active.cTrader.Bot HomePage Contacts write to: active.ctrader.bot@gmail.com ======================================================          

BIAS Weekly Time cBot 1.21  Chart on Daily TimeFrame cTrader Platform Trading System based on BIAS IntraWeek Strategy. The "Bias" is a recurring / repeated inefficiency of the market from which we can take advantage. A Bias is an inefficiency that reappears on the market with a certain systematicity: it can be linked to specific time slots, or to certain days of the week, but it can also extend to several weeks, and in these cases we are talking about seasonal trends. It is a fairly simple analysis to conduct, but it can give very useful information, both to the discretionary trader and to the systematic trader. The "Bias Weekly Time cBot", through the optimization on daily time bands, analyzes the market of a specific Forex Currency Cross, CFDs (Indices, Futures, Crypto Currencies, Metals ...), to identify the presence of Bias on a weekly basis and detecting the repeated trend over time of a symbol going Short / Long in a weekly time slot. THE STRATEGY DO NOT USE ANY GRID SYSTEM OR MARTINGALA Buy & Sell must be optimized separately. In the strategy: - Use Daily TimeFrame - UTC Time (time zone): Date and time are based on "Utc Server Time". UTC (country time difference) can be set from the parameters section from -12 to +14 - Daylight saving time (where applied) is set automatically. - Different Parameters for Long & Short, they work autonomously. - Automatic adjustment for opening / closing time: During the optimization process if the opening time is greater than the closing time the last one will be moved towards the maximum allowed closing time. The same for CFDs for opening hours. - Symbol Market Hours (Open / Close): for CFDs (Indices, Futures, Crypto Currencies, Metals ...) are already set up for ICMarket and Pepperstone brokers. By sending us an email we can set them up for different brokers. - StopLoss & TakeProfit can be set as Price or Equity percentage. The optimization process will choose the percentage that best suits the price range of the analyzed symbol. - 4 indicators to filter market entry: MACD Crossover, Triangular Mov. Average, SMA_TRMA_Ind, Sma_Bull_Bear_Ind. (The last 2 indicators are setted for Daily TimeFrame and will be downloaded together with the cBot) - 18 variable combinations, using indicators, to filter market entry. From -7 to 10. Negative numbers indicate a reversal bias (mean reverting propensity). With the variable set to 0 (zero) all filters are excluded and the cBot will only work on the time bands. The optimization process will choose the filters that best suit the analyzed symbol. - Buy/Sell Consecutive Loss Protection. - Optimization Criteria (GetFitness), you can set it to "Custom" with the following Criteria: Chart on Daily TimeFrame NetProfit SharpeRatio ProfitFactor/ minimize MaxEquityDrawDownPercentage TotalTrades AverageTrade - Money Management on winning and loosing trade (Position Sizing).

New release "BIAS Daily Time 2.21" Chart on Daily TimeFrame In the new release we have enhanced Money Management (Position Sizing) with the ability to reduce the amount of volume in consecutive losses by choosing the number of losses and how much the volume should be reduced. Money Management is applied differently on Buy / Sell and optimization must be done separately for Buy / Sell for each day of the week. This protection is particularly suitable in case of high volatility due to global political and macroeconomic factors where prices can undergo strong fluctuations creating considerable volatility by upsetting the natural price trend that creates the possibility of exploiting the market BIAS. The general optimization must be done by leaving the default values for StopLoss / TakeProfit and excluding the Money Management then optimize the basic parameters (Start hour / minutes, Stop hour / minutes, variables) for the first day of the week (Monday) for Buy and then for Sell. When the basic parameters are optimized, using the same parameters proceed to optimize the Money Management separately (Buy / Sell). To speed up optimization we advise you to open a new cTrader instance in "Settings / Startup / Multiple profiles / Create new profile" where on one you optimize Buy and the other Sell on the same day of the week. Once you have optimized all days of the week (Monday to Friday), including Money Management, enter the values obtained on all days in the cBot and then optimize StopLoss / TakeProfit, (it will only take a few minutes). BIAS Daily Time cBot cTrader Platform Trading System based on BIAS Strategy Intraday. This strategy is characterized by very low DrawDowns from 1 to 5% maximum. The "Bias" is a recurring / repeated inefficiency of the market from which we can take advantage. A Bias is an inefficiency that reappears on the market with a certain systematicity: it can be linked to specific time slots, or to certain days of the week, but it can also extend to several weeks, and in these cases we are talking about seasonal trends.

The "Bias Daily Time cBot", through the optimization on daily time bands, analyzes the market of a specific Forex Currency Cross, CFDs (Indices, Futures, Crypto Currencies, Metals ...), to identify the presence of Bias and detecting the repeated trend over time of a symbol going Short / Long in a daily time slot on a particular day of the week. The Advantages to operate IntraDay are more than one: - the higher frequency of operations (which are able to intercept minor but more frequent trends compared to a Multi-Day strategy). - the possibility of working with tighter stops and managing the position more precisely. - less exposure to upcoming external events due to global macroeconomic factors that can hit the overnight market and create discontinuity in prices. - up to a more efficient use of the available capital, being able to "fit together" strategies that work at different times of the day during the days of the week.

The Bollinger Bands serve mainly as a filter in entering the market avoiding periods of laterality. cBot can be set as Reverse or Breakout strategy, the optimization will indicate the best strategy for each particular Currencies Cross, indices, Metals, Crypto Currencies. Exit strategy is Trend Follower. This strategy is characterized by more trades in loss of small amounts and less trades in gain with larger amounts, the ratio is 55/60% trades in loss and 45/40% trades in gain. The strategy exploits the evolution of the trend while cutting losing positions if the market moves against. Money Management with Position Sizing on winning and loosing trades. In the event that there is a series of loss trades, Position Sizing (on Lose) is very effective as it reduces the amount of volume (lots) after each losing trade. If you have a series of winning trades the Position Sizing (on gain) increases the volume (lots) quantity after each winning trade. Money Management can be activated or deactivated. STRATEGIES DO NOT USE ANY GRID SYSTEM OR MARTINGALE In the markets of the major Forex Currencies Crosses, Metals, oil, Indices and Crypto some of them adapt better on Reverse/Breakout strategies and you can find it out through optimization. DOWNLOAD DEMO VERSION In the strategy:(All positions are protected with StopLoss) - Select Reverse/Breakout strategy - StopLoss & TakeProfit are automatically assigned. (Depending on volatility and volume traded in the book) - Money Management (Position Sizing) on winning and loosing trade. - Exit Strategy: Trend Follow (TakeProfit is floating and is used only as security in case the bot is no more controllable due to connection failure or other causes. When the Bot is active the position is closed only by the StopLoss which Trails). - As soon as you enter the market if the price moves against your position, the Position is closed before the stop Loss is touched. As soon as the Trend Follower is automatically activated, the position is closed only by the Trailing Stop Loss. The Trading System has been designed to work at the best with all types of Forex Cross Currencies, Metals, Oil, Indices, futures and Crypto Currencies that are sensible to Reverse or Breakout strategies. Pay attention to the Trade volume for each instrument as it changes from Forex to CFD (Indices, Metals, Oil, Futures and Crypto Currencies). Some Brokers for CFDs give you the opportunity to trade all of them with micro lots. Others use different Lotsize (example for Indices minimum 1 contract, Gold 0.1 / 1 Oz). In the Trading System, if you enter a wrong Volume value, the Bot will automatically use the minimum tradable volume. Warning: when trading CFDs the results can vary widely between one broker and another. The suggestion is to operate on CFDs using the same broker in which the optimization was made. Backtest and optimization must be done considering the following parameters at best (lined up in sequence of importance and priority): - SharpRatio: (which is a reward to risk ratio) minimum value 0.13 - Max Balance Drawdown & Max Equity Drawdown: Max 15% better under 10%. Discard higher values. Rather than earning, you should consider what you can lose. If you don't pay attention to Drawdown, working with a high leverage is very easy to lose the whole capital. With high leverage you can earn a lot compared to the capital but you can also easily drain the whole account. Using Position Sizing (on gain) you can double or triple the earnings and in this case the Drawdown can go up to max 23%. Do it only if it is worth on increasing the gain. To reduce the Drawdown use Position Sizing (on lose) the gain in this case will be slightly reduced. - Profit Factor: minimum value 1.40 - better if it is higher than 1.50 - Net Profit - Trades number: all optimizations must be done over a minimum of 8/9 years period to have reliable results. - Average Trade: The average earnings for each individual trade. Considering an initial capital of $ 10,000, 200 leverage, (Forex) ordersize (bet) 0.10 lots (10,000 volume). The Average Trade must be more then 20.00 $ per Trade P.S .: When you optimize or backtest put Commission to 50 (x million) and Spread to 2 for major Forex crosses and more for minor crosses. This is used to amortize slippage. - The parameters attached to the bot have been optimized using ICMarket Broker from 08/02/2011 to 01/03/2020. (with some parameters the Drawdown comes out higher then 15% because it was worth pushing on the Money Management (Position Sizing on gain). Initial capital of $ 10,000, 200 leverage - Forex Currencies: ordersize (bet) 0.10 lots (10,000 volume), Commission 50(x million) and Spread to 2. - BitCoin/USD: ordersize (bet) 0.30 lots, Commission 50(x million) and Spread to 167.   To avoid "Over-Fitting": - Optimizations and Backtests must be performed for at least 8/9 or more years for reliable results. The optimization done on short periods is not absolutely reliable. Professional traders optimize and backtest their automatic systems using very long periods (10/15/20 years) of data feeds with paid Data Feeds providers. All Brokers who use cTrader platform for Forex give a free set of Data Feeds of about 8/9 years and for CFDs 5/6 years. - To test if the parameters obtained are robust, do backtests by varying them slightly (do not change REVERSE/BREAKOUT selection). If you get positive results, even if qualitatively lower than the optimized ones, this means that the parameter set is robust and not "Overfitted". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DOWNLOAD DEMO VERSION Active.cTrader.Bot HomePage Contacts write to: active.ctrader.bot@gmail.com ======================================================            

Trading system based on Reverse price action which consider supports and resistances by calculating the maximum and minimum prices on a certain number of bars. STRATEGIES DO NOT USE ANY GRID SYSTEM OR MARTINGALE In the markets of the major currencies crosses, Metals, oil and Indices some of them adapt better on Reverse strategies and you can find it out through optimization. However the Reverse and main reverting strategy fits very well on the major Currencies Crossies. It fits less for Indices. In the strategy: (All positions are protected with StopLoss) - OnTick or OnBar option (higher Timeframe works better OnTick from H2 on) - StopLoss & TakeProfit are automatically assigned (Depending on volatility and volume traded in the book) - Option to Cut DrawDawn (when it is appropriate to use it), separate for Buy & Sell - Money Management on winning and loosing trade, separate for Buy & Sell DEMO VERSION AVAILABLE The Backtest and optimization must be done considering the following parameters at best: - SharpRatio: (which is a reward to risk ratio) minimum value 0.13 - Max Balance Drawdown & Max Equity Drawdown: Max 15% better under 10%.

 Multi TimeFrame program uses 5 different strategies based on supports and resistances by calculating the maximum and minimum prices on a certain number of bars on 5 different Timeframes. The 5 strategies work independently and in each strategy the Buy & Sell parameters are different and work autonomously. In the event that all the strategies are open with the Buy & Sell operating, there may be a maximum of 10 open positions. However, the case in which all strategies are used with activated Buy & Sell is rare. STRATEGIES DO NOT USE ANY GRID SYSTEM OR MARTINGALA In the markets of the major currencies crosses, Metals, oil and Indices some of them adapt better on Breakout strategies and others on Reverse strategies and you can understand it by doing optimization. For example, the major currencies cross adapt better on Reverse and mean reverting strategies. American indices such as S&P500 and also the DAX in Europe fit better on Breakout strategies. Each strategy must be optimized independently of the others. Buy & Sell as well in each strategy must be optimized separately. However in each strategy there are at most 3 main parameters to be optimized. DEMO VERSION AVAILABLE Strategies:  Breakout  Reverse  Reverse On Livel  Trend Breakout  Trend Reverse Exit Strategies: (All positions are protected with StopLoss) - Strategy logic exit - Trail & Strategy - StopLoss & Breakeven / TakeProfit - Trend Follow (TakeProfit is floating and is used only as security in the case where the bot is no longer controllable due to connection failure or other causes. The position is closed only by the StopLoss which Trails) - Solo StopLoss & Take Profit - Solo Trailing (TakeProfit is floating and is used only as security in the case where the bot is no longer controllable due to connection failure or other causes. The position is closed only by the StopLoss which Trails)   In each strategy: - 5 different Timeframes - Different Parametrs for Long & Short, they work autonomously. - StopLoss & TakeProfit are automatically assigned (Depending on volatility and volume traded in the book) - Trailing Stop is automatically assigned. - 1 single entry strategy - 6 different exit strategies. Optimization will indicate the best exit strategy. - Option to Cut DrawDown (when it's appropriate to use) - Money Management on winning and loosing trade. Optimization: The optimization process, must be done for each strategy excluding the others and separately on a single strategy first Buy and then Sell), on a normal computer, it can take longer (consider that you are working on 5 TimeFrame) but in the end it is worth as you will get very satisfying results and succeeding also to understand where the symbol moves better on Buy (long) or Sell (short) in Breakout or in Reverse. When the optimization of a strategy ends, set aside the best parameters. When has been done for all strategies, manually enter the parameters of each strategy in the bot.  The Trading System has been designed to work at the best on all types of Forex cross currencies, Metals, Oil, Indices, futures and Crypto Currencies.
