In same way, SL is moved down shorts to last weeks high if last weeks high is lower than current SL. When one position is opened, no more positions will be opened until the open position is closed. On the test period, this system would have made with fixed lot of 0.

The full system can be downloaded from his blog at http: In fact the total result was very surprisingly high. On sidenote, the trading environment changed about at that time so these might be too old results to count in or then not. Image from the tester below.

Note that while position size is calculated this way, no SL is used in trades as said in the rules. Last edited by mikkom, Dec 7, 5: Dec 7, 4: I got pm about the results posted here.

All results are in dollars, not pips. For example by weighting certain trades by using bigger lot size for them, you would get totally different results from the above. Even using fixed lot would mean skew the results because risk for each trade would be different - for tighter stoploss orders trade risk calculated by account balance would be much less than for those with larger stop. All the results are for the full test period for each currency from to I want to see if anyone else is willing to give away their secrets about working systems because I know how rare and valuable this information is.

Some people think that a system is profitable when they have traded with it for a year with one pair.

Profitable, tested mechanical trading systems THIS THREAD IS CLOSED AND REQUEST TO DELETE IT HAS BEEN SENT I would like to start a thread that is dedicated to testable, mechanical trading systems that really work. With tested results for each system. The definition of a "mechanical system" in this thread is that the system must not have any "discretionary" element, ie.

That covers most of the volume of the market. Other pairs tend to be just aggregated moves of these pairs ie, technical analysis works worse with them.

If the position size would be calculated to current account balance, the results would be better on profitable systems. However the results would always weight the later data to be more important than the begin data. I open this thread mainly to gain knowledge about different methods that work so it would be possible to evaluate what kind of systems work on longer term, ie.

If you have a system that you would like to contribute, please post it. Note that the system must be mechanically testable per abpove rules. I start the thread with one actually profitable system. Backtesting does not necessarily reflect future results. You must understand risks and whys before you can trust any backtesting results. Member Since Dec 2, Posts.
