Description

(This description might be outdated!)

This is an "empty" strategy.

You can use it as a base to build your strategy from scratch.

Feel free to experiment!

You can set the opening and the closing point of the position, add opening or closing logic conditions, and adjust the strategy properties.

The "Opening Point of the Position" slot shows the price, at which the strategy enters the market and adds/removes from an open position. We enter the market at a price level determined by an indicator value or by time ("Bar Opening" for example). However, before we open position we need confirmation from the "Opening Logic Condition" slots.

The "Opening Logic Conditions" basically tell you whether to enter the market or not when the entry price has been reached. They also determine the position's direction (whether we enter short or long). There is no any "Opening Logic Condition" in this strategy and that leads to undetermined entry direction. Because of that the program doesn’t open positions during the backtest.

The "Closing Point of the Position" sets the exit price. If you set it at "Bar Closing", you can add "Closing Logic Conditions". They will block the exit until at least one of them is fulfilled. If you do not use "Closing Logic Conditions", the position will be closed when the "Closing Point" is reached.

The Strategy Overview explains the strategy logic in an additional window and can be exported to a file.

Look in the forum for help or more information on creating forex strategies.

Remember! The strategy slots describe the long position logic only. Forex Strategy Builder will set the short position logic automatically using the same logic but in the opposite direction.

Logic

Opening (Entry Signal)

Open a new long position at the beginning of the bar when all the following logic conditions are satisfied:

• Directional Indicators* (Exponential, Close, 50); the ADI+ crosses the ADI- line upward; and
• the price is higher than the Parabolic SAR (0,02, 0,02, 2,00).

Open a new short position at the beginning of the bar when all the following logic conditions are satisfied:

• Directional Indicators* (Exponential, Close, 50); the ADI+ crosses the ADI- line downward; and
• the price is lower than the Parabolic SAR (0,02, 0,02, 2,00).

Closing (Exit Signal)

Close an existing long position at the end of the bar when the following logic condition is satisfied:

• Directional Indicators (Exponential, Close, 50); the ADI+ crosses the ADI- line downward.

Close an existing short position at the end of the bar when the following logic condition is satisfied:

• Directional Indicators (Exponential, Close, 50); the ADI+ crosses the ADI- line upward.

Handling of Additional Entry Signals**

Entry signal in the direction of the present position:

• No averaging is allowed. Cancel any additional orders which are in the same direction.

Entry signal in the opposite direction:

• No modification of the present position is allowed. Cancel any additional orders which are in the opposite direction.

Trading Size

Always trade a constant number of lots.

• Opening of a new position - 1 lot.

Permanent Protection

The strategy does not provide a permanent loss limitation.

The strategy does not use a Permanent Take Profit.

--------------
* Use the indicator value from the previous bar for all asterisk-marked indicators!
** The averaging rules apply to the entry signals only. Exit signals close a position. They cannot open, add or reduce one.
