This strategy attempts to replicate the PowerX strategy as described in the book by by Markus Heitkoetter
Three indicators are used: RSI (7) - An RSI above 50 indicates and uptrend. An RSI below 50 indicates a downtrend. Slow Stochastics (14, 3, 3) - A %K above 50 indicates an uptrend. A %K below 50 indicates a downtrend. MACD (12, 26, 9) - A MACD above the signal line indicates an uptrend. A MACD below the signal line indicates a downtrend In addition, multiples of ADR (7) is used for setting the stops and profit targets
Setup: When all 3 indicators are indicating an uptrend, the OHLC bar is green. When all 3 indicators are indicating a downtrend, the OHLC bar is red. When one or more indicators are conflicting, the OHLC bar is black
The basic rules are: When the OHLC bar is green and the preceding bar is black or Red, enter a long stop-limit order .01 above the high of the first green bar When the OHLC bar is red and the preceding bar is black or green, enter a short stop-limit order .01 below the low of the first red bar If a red or black bar is encountered while in a long trade, or a green or black bar for a short trade, exit the trade at the close of that bar with a market order. Stop losses are set by default at a multiple of 1.5 times the ADR. Profit targets are set by default at a multiple of 3 times the ADR.
Options: You can adjust the start and end dates for the trading range You can configure this strategy for long only, short only, or both long and short. You can adjust the multiples used to set the stop losses and profit targets. There is an option to use a money management system very similar to the one described in the PowerX book. Some assumptions had to be made for cases where the equity is underwater as those cases are not clearly defined in the book. There is an option to override this behavior and keep the risk at or above the set point (2% by default), rather than further reduce the risk when equity is underwater. Position sizing is limited when using money management so as not to exceed the current strategy equity. The starting risk can be adjusted from the default of 2%.
Final notes: If you find any errors, have any questions, or have suggestions for improvements, please leave your message in the comments. Happy trading!
