FOREX AND EQUITY TRADING SYSTEM / STRATEGIES

Hope you forgive me on this one. I am basically making this as a "journal entry" on this blog and their is a lot of code on my part. For those of you who don't trade as of yet, I would just pass on this submission and move on to the one below.

System 1: 7/20/50 Cross Rules

BUY: when 7 day EMA crosses over 20 day EMA if both are above 50 day EMA

SELL: when 7 day EMA crosses below 20 day EMA if both are below 50 day EMA.

Goal is 5% profit

System 2: ADX(14) Crosses PDI/MDI

BUY: Buy when ADX(14) crosses MDI(14) and ADX<30

SELL: Sell when ADX(14) crosses PDI(14) and ADX<30

Goal is 20% profit or if 20% gain in 3 weeks, hold for at least 8 weeks

System 3: MACD Histo

BUY: MACD Histo crosses ABOVE zero and equity is ABOVE 30 day EMA.

SELL: MACD Histo crosses BELOW zero and equity is BELOW 30 day EMA.

Goal is only 5%

System 4: Cross PDI/MDI and 3 day WMA & 22 day EMA

BUY: Cross PDI/MDI and 3 day WMA > 22 day EMA

SELL: Cross mDI/pDI and 3 day WMA <>

Goal is 10%

System I haven't tested yet:

ADX + MACD HISTO (Trending)

GOAL - capture 40 to 100 pip moves in forex, or 5% in equities

Stop loss is latest low for forex and 10 day EMA for equities
ADX14 cross MDI/PDI and MACD HISTO >0/<0 = go long/go short
Best time frame is 4 hour or daily.
Some modify to ADX9.




Here is a different example of a trading system / strategy:
Buy when: Fx pair is ABOVE 30 day EMA and MACD Histo crosses above zero.
Sell when: Fx pair is BELOW 30 day EMA and MACD Histo crosses below zero.

(MACD Histo settings are 8,17,9)

Goal is 50 to 100 pips.
