Algorithm Builer CRYPTO - XBTUSD - Review Oct 20th, 2019Hello traders
I. Daily tutorial publishing challenge officially begins
Starting today, I'll be publishing every night what were the setups given by the Algorithm Builder CRYPTO
II. Why a 5-minutes chart?
The indicator won't give more than 3/5 trades per day even. This is not a scalping trading method, it's intraday and based on smoothed indicators for entering in a strong trend only.
Those are the most secure trades possible because:
- the Algo Builder waits for a strong confirmation and will avoid the fakeouts
- the 5 minute allows to enter very early. This point is crucial.
We made it so that to enter early but with a minimum of security.
III. Signal of the day
1. We had a first LONG position invalidated with a small loss.
The signal was given against the leading trend (red background/green signal) and in front of multi timeframes resistances.
I always wait for a pullback near the EMA 15/20 to be invalidated with a minimal loss. I made the trading method so that to be invalidated with a minimal loss
2. The second trade was fabulous !!!
Signal given, in front of resistances so not easy but a pullback near the EMA 15/20 was mandatory. It even gave a better entry than the signal on the chart - allowing to enter 50 USD lower for that LONG.
Those resistance lines are my take profits zones. Then, the Algorithm Builder CRYPTO users should take the first take-profit at the first resistance (here the daily SMA(7)) for a 150 USD move upwards.
The second take-profit was at the second big resistance - namely the Daily SMA(20).
I generally let a bit of money on the table from there, as the stop-loss is already trailed by the indicator automatically. I do it, in case, there would be another upwards move that I could catch, and for free.
For free because, the stop-loss is already moved to the TP1 level at that point, and I can't lose anymore on that particular trade setup.
Total trade distance: 261 USD
All the best,
Dave
Profitable RSI optimizes 3 parameters!Well, it's just a small public announcement.
I went to this for a long time and now it has become possible. Profitable RSI now handles 3 parameters of the standard RSI indicator to find the best tuple of settings. So, additionally to period setting, the optimizer takes under consideration different Overbought (from 60 to 70 ) and Oversold levels (from 30 to 40 ) for each RSI period.
Four main conclusions from my research (if you gonna trade with RSI):
The OB/OS levels are not necessary to be the standard 70/30 ones. With all my respect to J. Welles Wilder, but those bounds cannot be considered optimal.
The OB/OS levels can be asymmetric. So OB can be 65 while OS is 39. Not 70/30, not 60/40 and not 75/25. Asymmetric ones.
There is no efficient trading with period setting higher than 50.
We can make a feast even from the old indicator
And the last thing I wanted to add - let's not live in the old paradigms. The world is changing, trading is changing and we must change too. Don't be afraid to experiment with something new for you.
The tool I talked about, the Profitable RSI, is here
Good luck, Good health, God bless you
Expecting a Bearish Impulse (STA)All these predictions are made by Quantitative Analysis Algorithms following short term trends. These Quantitative Analysis Algorithms will calculate maximum correction relative to previous impulses.
Relative to previous bearish impulse we are now in a bullish correction. So algorithm expecting a short term bearish impulse.
Long Term Active Bearish Algo TargetActive bearish algo target pointing all the way down to 2100 . I think these pivots are very likely in use by many algos because of the reactions we got multiple times at the .236 (none of the other pulls from other pivots before the drop below 6K have any fib lines that line up in that 4140-4150 resistance area). We also got a pretty strong reaction so far at the 0.5 (multiple rejections). This algo pattern is based on assuming algo's will buy at the 0.5, defend to the 0.618, and flip or stop out at the 0.65 (other side of the golden pocket). Do the bulls have one more push up to get over 5930? I kind of doubt it, but you never know. I will be a big seller at 5790.

A SMA pair that still being the most profitable for 13 years!Hey there!
This is an example of how you can improve and simplify your trading decisions using algorithmic approaches.
Watching this video you can see that SMA 15/16 crossover trading system still being the most profitable combination for the last 13 years on daily AUDCAD.
The most profitable combination of the periods was obtained using Profitable SMA Crossover . You can see this indicator below the price chart. What is intresting is that it uses a decision tree-based algorithm under the hood to find and plot the most profitable SMA combination and that makes it stand out from other technical analysis indicators.
As I promised, this year I will work a lot on optimizing classical indicators and strategies.
Good luck and Happy Trading!
BCH - Algorithmic Entry and Target hit beautifully!I realise it's easy to state after the fact, but BCH has produced a clear example of fibonacci entry and first target hit.
I just missed my entry as I noticed this a little late, highlighting the difference between trading and TA.
However, its impossible to miss the confluence with the entry, RSI moving above 30, divergence appearing on the EWO and the entry at the Golden Pocket.
Stops just outside the 65 needed to be careful as a cheeky wick could have caught them.
Its also satisfying to see my automatic algo, written using pine script, producing a fantastic trade set up in seconds.

BIOS ModelBIOS hit strong resistance at the 3.00 level and came off pretty hard. Beware, if it falls into the red triangle it could end up in the lower quadrant. However if it can get some traction and push through 3.02 it has plenty of upside imo
NK Fib Setup 6-19-17NK flying through the 200 MA in the last few days, has reached the top of its symmetric trend. If it proves divergent it may run up to the 9.00 area.
