In this video we automate and test the most viewed Trading Rush video on Youtube called 'MACD Strategy 100x'. On the video the channel tests a well know MACD strategy, by manually taking 100 trades.
But how difficult is it to automate and code this strategy and then really put it to the test?
What would be the performance? Would it still be profitable longer term and what can we do to improve on its performance..
Watch the video to understand the strategy, how we automate such a system, see us really test driving its performance and ultimately improving the system more than 20 fold.
If you are interested, you can purchase the original version of the strategy and the enhanced version. Both versions come with an executable file (EX4/5) as well as MQ4/5 source files (fxDreema). In both EAs we used variable inputs, you can backtest and optimize the parameters to your liking.
With the source file you view and edit the, as well as import it into fxDreema and change, add or delete filters as you see fit.
I hope you enjoy our video and if you have any suggestions on what to build and test next, please let us know by leaving a comment on the Youtube video!
All of our testing is done using 99,9% reliable tickdata from Tickdatasuit (Dukascopy) including variable spread, slippage and commissions enabled. This is they only way to get a reliable test that reflects real live trading conditions.
Strategy description
This Strategy is based on the widely used MACD indicator to determine when a pullback is over and we continue the trend.
To determine the direction of the trend, a moving average indicator is used.
The combination should enable a trade to time the markets with and edge, and in the video the results are indeed very impressive.
