XPloRR MA-Buy ATR-Trailing-Stop Long Term Strategy Beating B&HXPloRR MA-Buy ATR-MA-Trailing-Stop Strategy Long term MA Trailing Stop strategy to beat Buy&Hold strategy None of the strategies that I tested can beat the long term Buy&Hold strategy. That's the reason why I wrote this strategy. Purpose: beat Buy&Hold strategy with around 10 trades. 100% capitalize sold trade into new trade. My buy strategy is triggered by the EMA(blue) crossing over the SMA curve(orange). My sell strategy is triggered by another EMA(lime) of the close value crossing the trailing stop(green) value. The trailing stop value(green) is set to a multiple of the ATR(15) value. ATR(15) is the SMA(15) value of the difference between high and low values. Every stock has it's own "DNA", so first thing to do is find the right parameters to get the best strategy values voor EMA, SMA and Trailing Stop. Then keep using these parameter for future buy/sell signals only for that particular stock. Do the same for other stocks. Here are the parameters: Exponential MA: buy trigger when crossing over the SMA value (use values between 11-50) Simple MA: buy trigger when EMA crosses over the SMA value (use values between 20 and 200) Stop EMA: sell trigger when Stop EMA of close value crosses under the trailing stop value (use values between 8 and 16) Trailing Stop #ATR: defines the trailing stop value as a multiple of the ATR(15) value Example parameters for different stocks (Start capital: 1000, Order=100% of equity, Period 1/1/2005 to now): BAR(Barco): EMA=11, SMA=82, StopEMA=12, Stop#ATR=9 Buy&HoldProfit: 45.82%, NetProfit: 294.7%, #Trades:8, %Profit:62.5%, ProfitFactor: 12.539 AAPL(Apple): EMA=12, SMA=45, StopEMA=12, Stop#ATR=6 Buy&HoldProfit: 2925.86%, NetProfit: 4035.92%, #Trades:10, %Profit:60%, ProfitFactor: 6.36 BEKB(Bekaert): EMA=12, SMA=42, StopEMA=12, Stop#ATR=7 Buy&HoldProfit: 81.11%, NetProfit: 521.37%, #Trades:10, %Profit:60%, ProfitFactor: 2.617 SOLB(Solvay): EMA=12, SMA=63, StopEMA=11, Stop#ATR=8 Buy&HoldProfit: 43.61%, NetProfit: 151.4%, #Trades:8, %Profit:75%, ProfitFactor: 3.794 PHIA(Philips): EMA=11, SMA=80, StopEMA=8, Stop#ATR=10 Buy&HoldProfit: 56.79%, NetProfit: 198.46%, #Trades:6, %Profit:83.33%, ProfitFactor: 23.07 I am very curious to see the parameters for your stocks and please make suggestions to improve this strategy.

ATR+ (Stop Loss Indicator)This script is designed to aid in back-testing and trade execution. It displays three sets of values - the teal colored value is the current ATR, the green colored value is your stop loss distance (in pips) below the most recent swing low for long trades , and the red colored value is your stop loss distance (in pips) above the most recent swing high for short trades . You can change the stop loss settings to base your stop loss on a set pip amount or by however many multiples of the current ATR as you wish (eg. 1.5x ATR). Feel free to ask any questions or edit the script without permission :) - Matt.

Parabolic GlitterThis indicator overlays a series of Parabolic Stop And Reverses (SARs) to continuously illustrate trends as they form in addition to a range of good possible levels at which to place stop orders. The Initial Start argument gives the minimum value for the SAR function's "Start" argument. The Increment/Start Ratio argument gives the ratio of the SAR function's "Increment" and "Start" arguments (i.e. SAR default is Start = 0.02, Increment = 0.02, therefore Increment/Start Ratio = 1). The same logic applies to the Max/Start Ratio Argument (i.e. SAR default is Start = 0.02, Max = 0.2, therefore Max/Start Ratio = 10). The Adaptive Coloring argument determines whether the plotting points are red in downtrends and green in uptrends, or if all the plotted points are given the same color (defaults to silver).
