Simple MACD Strategy

By adr_adr
Updated
This simple MACD strategy takes in account a given a time frame and the basic MACD parameters ( short, long, signal values).
The current implementation does not takes persistance or thresholds in accounts.
Release Notes
EMA open instead of close value in calculation
Release Notes
Option for choosing open / close for ema calculation function
Release Notes
Custom label in for EMA input switch
Release Notes
Strategy update:
  • after the long trade closed it automatically opens a short trade until the next MACD crossover, when short is closed and long is opened.
Release Notes
Updated switch for Short and Long strategy options
Release Notes
Long Short switch update
Release Notes
"Short only" option added to strategy types
Release Notes
Multiple updates issued:
  • Threshold values implementation, which can offset the MACD histogram crossing value. Eg.: thresholdUp: +10 => Long open triggers at MACD histogram value 20
  • Persistance implementation, which sets a history offset after crossing over threshold
  • Gekko strategy mode for using thresholdUp/thresholdDown and persistence
  • Plotting persistance - last bar since cross
Release Notes
This update merges the previously developed threshold and persistence values into the basic Long/Short/Long&Short strategies.

All strategy types are currently supporting the original Gekko MACD strategy parameters. If you don't need threshold and persistence values use zero values in those parameters.

Changelog:
  • Pyramiding OFF by default
  • Initial capital set to 6500 by default
  • Long/Short/Long&Short final startegies implemented
  • Bars since buy/sell are calculated and plotted based on threshold and persistence
