Systems created with Zero Code beta 1

[Belzebut]

I created this thread to gather all systems and backtests make with Zero Code beta 1


So there is a simple system (long term system, 31 trades in 4 years) :

For eurusd 4h

- Price crosses ma 20
- Stochastic crosses up or down
- Macd crosses up or down

No stop loss
No take profit
100 pips trailing stop

Backtest start 26/04/2001 with 10000 dollars

Best result : 428 %

But the metatrader backtester close the last trade at - 8290 dollars so it reduce the result at 245 % (normally the trade will be always open but the backtesting processus close it)






Without my customs indicators, and my pivots i can't do anything
However i don't know how we can do to make the pivots on automatic trade, because it's a very discretionary system

I just post an idea and to say that we can create system that works with the amazing Zero Code, but this program need little update


We can try this system on shorter time frames, by adding an adx filter (you enter long and short only when adx is rising)

Please give many systems in this thread

Hi Belzebut,

wow! great system!

Sorry for this silly question. I'm a big zero when it comes to programming!

how can I write a logic that will open a trade when the price closes above

MA 'x' and close the trade when price closes below MA 'y'?

Thanks in advance,

Yasir.

I can tell you the last trade thing. You see, when you are ttrading without a stoploss, and ( or ) without any exit criteria , there will be some positions , which just wont be profitable. They are summed up in the last trade. So they were opened, but never got to the 100 pips, so trailing stop could not been enabled. Possible solutions:


-Add a stop loss
-Add some closing position criteria ( for example , macd is crossing back, or stochastic is closing back and so on )
- Lower the trailing stop level, from say 100 pips to 50 pips.

I would prefer a combination of an exit criteria and reduced trailing stop. Only to get the best exit criteria you have to do some research. Let us know how it goes.

[Belzebut]

Ok Ravique, i wasn't know that all unprofitable trades are summed up in last trade, thanks

But as i say, it's just a little try of Zero Code beta 1.

Because without our customs indicators we are poor guys

[Belzebut]

Yasirdxb, this is for you :



I think this is right, but i ask confirmation to old members

Actually I think Zero Code can recognize when the price crosses with ma, and not when he closes up or down the ma ????

[scorpion]

Ok, below code is to Buy when bid price closes above MA(1) and Close the position when bid price closes below MA(1).

Note that I use "Volume < 10" to check for a new candle.

Is that a bug of MetaTrader Backtester? I don't know that thing before.

[Ravique]

Well, it is not a bug. C for yourself. If an expert open positions , and has no exit criteria or stopp loss , then theese positions would be open until they will reack take profit , or until they will eat your account up. So the backtester just closes them at the end of backtesting and this last trade shows the actual opened position loss. Maybe someday they will be profitable, they say that the market goes up and down always.

Thank you very much Guys

I created a simple trend following strategy! but when i tried to include both buying and selling logic to one expert, it was not working correct. may be I am wrong.

please check this for me.

Here is what I wanted,

Buy when price closes above 89 ema high

close when price closes below 21 em low
-------------------------------------
Sell when price closes below 89 ema low

close when price closes above 21 ema high
==============================
I have attached the expert and screenshots. Please tell me how can I include both logics to one expert.

Hi bezlebut,

Can you post the equity curve of the system?
For me the smoothness of that curve is very important.

About closing the last open trade.
I agree with you it shouldn't be in the calulations.
We would need and extra 'unrealized p/l' entry.
But the report is medicore are best anyway.
Everything is calculated with the amount of cash in your account.
($10000)
But in reality the system only uses $1000 + required margin.
