From theory to practice - page 91

 
Dmitriy Skub:
Alexander, does your system have stops? And another question - are you fixing on the middle of the channel (green line), or?

Greetings, Dimitri! Absolutely and precisely when the moving average is crossed.

If you carefully draw a histogram of price deviations from a moving average in Excel with a VERY large number of measurements, you will see a nice picture - with different sample amounts this histogram is very similar to the incremental histogram. And it reaches maximum similarity when the sample volume is calculated according to the formula given in this branch.

Therefore, when the price reaches the average line - it is necessary to leave the trade, because further on we cannot say in what direction the price will go - the chances are 50/50.

As for stop-losses or take-profits - I'll not set them out as a matter of principle - I fully trust the theory of probability. I believe in it like a devout parishioner :))))))))

 

For example, for AUDCAD the histogram of deviations from the moving average looks as follows:

It's nice, isn't it?

The only thing - I draw your attention that this data is obtained by taking tick data in exponential time intervals!

In principle, the system seems to be working. Another thing is the performance and risks (minus overheads). At least the ts on Bollinger is one of the few "crazy" working systems.

I call "crazy" those TSs, which assume, that price tends to the average price, and not vice versa).

About the stops - wrong. "The Black Swan has never been cancelled. You know the saying: "What is the probability of meeting 50 men in a row"?)))

Yes, I agree - there are and will be negative trades. For example, concerning the EURCHF pair I met an unbelievable fall in the model about a month and a half ago - when the price went through all possible limits - both through historical and current ones and nonparametric skew was up to -0,75 at that moment! (Normally modulo - 0 to 0.4) Just fantastic! And there's nothing you can do about it, alas... It's that 0.1% out of 100% that's out of sample.

Hence there is a similar task - to determine the parameters of stop, so as not to kill productivity. This will be more difficult. That's what my friend Stirlitz was talking about.)

All this is IMHO, of course.

Hmm... And the notorious moneymanagement? If the deposit has, for example, 100$, and we set an order only for 0.01 lots? Then the deposit will not go to zero, for sure. And such "black swans" are extremely rare.

If I am not interested in earning, then yes, it is a good way (perhaps the only one). There is also academic interest.

Interested, interested :)))) Still, I think Forex is not originally a toy for poor people. Money for money, as they say. To exclude risks and to have good income you have to have not less than $1000 on your account IMHO.

But, poor as mice, but clever people should not despair - we should create a great, profitable TS and sell it to foreign fools on English forums. Again, IMHO.

 
Why foreigners? There are enough fools of our own here. In my opinion, our fools are the country's only inexhaustible resource...
