EminiSP500 approach
The «failure» of classical trendfollowing is mostly due to higher efficiency of markets.
MiniSP500 is one of the most efficient markets.
The 5 periods time showed up to be the choppiest for breakout strategies so let’s do the opposite!
16
EminiSP500 approach
We refer to day session to build our setup
We trade only long as Indexes have a long BIAS
Our setup is a close 10% of last range below the lowest low of previous 5 daily session’s lows
We don’t enter on Fridays
We don’t enter in case of recent loss
17
EminiSP500 approach
Once the setup is verified we enter on a limit order at most recent low level.
Worst case exit is 600 USD Stop Loss
Time exit market on close after 12 bars in trade
18
EminiSP500 approach
19
EminiSP500 approach
Results are not bad for a very simple approach like this
20
EminiSP500 approach
The equity line shows a nice behavior
21
EminiSP500 approach – Position Sizing at work!
Fixed Ratio with delta 10.000 USD lets profits boost
22
Another way to face challenging conditions
We focus on «day session» only as there we find higher volumes
We study intraday entries on a 15 minutes charts
23
Another way to face challenging conditions
We have a time window to take the trades
We have patterns filtering the decision to take a directional trade
24
Another way to face challenging conditions
25
Another way to face challenging conditions
The results with a single contract approach are positive, 15 USD RT commissions have been included
26
Another way to face challenging conditions
Equity line shows a good behavior
27
Another way to face challenging conditions
Yearly report shows constant gains and trade analyses is also positive
28
Another way to face challenging conditions
Now position sizing is applied with a 2% risk model on 25.000 USD starting capital
29
Another way to face challenging conditions
Equity line still shows a good behavior and drawdown figures are within «normal» limits
30
Another way to face challenging conditions
Now same starting capital of 25.000 USD but risk of 5% pro trade, results jump to really high levels
31
Another way to face challenging conditions
Equity line here starts showing some strong falls and this approach might be too aggressive for most risk profiles

Let’s have a look at some currencies
British Pound future Donchian channel breakout test on 5 Bars

Let’s have a look at some currencies
British Pound future Donchian channel breakout test on 20 Bars
34
Let’s have a look at some currencies
British Pound future Donchian channel breakout test on 50 BarsIn all cases we see a bad behavior in last years!
35
Let’s have a look at some currencies
Considering the increasing number of «false breakouts» we build a strategy where the entries are on fake breakouts so we enter long once we first had a break of last day’s low and then a recovery to the upside and we enter short when there was first a breakout of last day’s high and then a return below that level.
To do so we work on 60 minutes bars and we add the only condition that yesterday the total range was smaller than the day before
36
Let’s have a look at some currencies
The condition related to BarOfDay is to avoid entries accross different days
All we use in conjunction with these rules is a 100 ticks stop loss
37
Let’s have a look at some currencies
These are the results after 2008 on British Pound future with 30 USD RT commissions
38
Let’s have a look at some currencies
The equity line also shows a very nice behavior

Let’s have a look at some currencies
Let’s now apply this strategy on a basket of currency futures with no change in the rules.We trade:
