MACD Strategy [Trading Nerd]

27 mar 2022

This Strategy uses a EMA as a trend filter and MACD for entries. The stoploss can be calculated by the last highs/lows or by the ATR.

Entry Conditions
Long:

• close price must be above the EMA
  
• MACD-Line crossover MACD-Signal-Line
  
• MACD-Signal- Line mus be below 0
  

Short:

• close price must be below the EMA
  
• MACD-Line crossunder MACD-Signal-Line
  
• MACD-Signal- Line mus be above 0
  

Exit Conditions
The Stoploss can be set in two different ways:
1. By the calculated ATR value of the entry Candle. This Value can be multiplied with the ATR multiplier for SL.
For Longs: SL = entry Price - ATR * ATR-multiplier
For Shorts: SL = entry Price + ATR * ATR-multiplier

2. By the previous highest high or lowest low (also called Donchain Channels). The lookback length can be changed in the at Lookback length for HH/LL SL.
For Longs: SL = LL of the last X candles
For Shorts: SL = HH of the last X candles

Take Profit
The TP is calculated by the Risk * Risk Reward Ratio. The Risk Reward Ratio can be changed in the Settings. The Risk is the difference of entry price and stoploss price: Risk = absolute(entry price - stoploss price)
For Longs: TP = entry Price + Risk * Risk Reward Ratio.
For Shorts: TP = entry Price - Risk * Risk Reward Ratio.

Risk Management
You can set the Risk % per Trade in the settings. A Value of 2 means that the position size is calculated in a way that at a loosing trade the strategy will only loose 2% of the current capital (initial capital + net profit).
E.g.: The current capital is $1000 and a trade hits the SL. The strategy will only loose $20.
