Bollinger Buddy

[yamantaka]

Since I'm the OP, I have to tell you my experience with this is like 90+% of everything else sold to the retail trader; that is to say 100% garbage. Don't waste your time and delete it from your machine.

[lipe.fx]

I agree with it

[yamantaka]

Results are better with a 1 minute chart, but maybe not good to go live.

[yamantaka]

Sim trades from 9:30 to 12:00 EST. Very good results.

SIM trades with the Buddy today. Minute charts seem to perform better than Range and you can backtest with confidence, too.

Yamantaka-

Maybe you can filter the signals by using another method on top of the bollinger buddy ----- like the new jay signal-7 ?

Its just an idea- you can give it a shot.

Hi yamantaka

 

Thanks for uploading this, just a quick question, bollingerbuddy made $2,490.00 on CL the same day as you, but I noticed on pic you made $0.00. Why is that? I'm not being rude, just curious I am.

 

Thanks

Perhaps, but this is an auto strategy as you know and adding that indicator will require the work of a skilled coder.

I don't have enough information to answer your question, but I'd guess the discrepancy starts with a different data series.

The ES Buddy made a profit today. I didn't trade any other markets because all the backtests indicate Friday (and Wednesday) are net losers.

A decent day for ES Buddy given the range and pace of market. Thus far, ES is the most consistent market for Buddy.

Yesterday was very choppy, not an usual day.

Hi

 

Does anyone know how this system works? What rules are they using.

 

thanks

[yamantaka]

Overall, a good day for the buddy. Remember, buddy quits trading at 12:00.

The settings are revealed in the training video--I think the last one. I change the start time to the Pit open.

[energetic]

Thanks, The pit open is 9:30am UTC -6 time zone, right?

ES-->9:30 - 16:15 EST .

 

CL-->9:00 - 14:30 EST

 

I didn't trade the ES today because of rollover, but crude did turn in another $900+ performance.

I backtest with default setting on ES 1 min, big loss as result.

Those results may be somewhat accurate but I have doubts, just like when I see fantastic backtests.

 

Backtesting with NT StrategyAnalyzer is an exercise in futility because all results are COBC=TRUE and other obstacles. You need custom code to overcome these constraints.

 

Best to trade live or use Market Replay for history.

Somehow I'm not surprised... I wonder only if you should change the hours of session in the case you are not living in EST timezone.

btw: If you are going to present a performance screenshot, before that - please replace the mode: percent on currency. Thanks in advance - numbers are also talking.
