ok chaps, lets try a trend following strategy...


been doing some serious work evasion this morning guys, and found a slight improvement to the SIBKISS method over on moneytec.

sod putting order levels in, this literally should only take 5 minutes per week, and if you can then switch the pooter off and collect your profits on a friday, then we could be in business.

firstly here are the stats.. (no stops at the moment.. just wanted to share the idea first.)


since jan 03 trading the GBP/USD fx cross.

Points 6,064
Trades 89
Wins 52
Win% 58.4%
Ave Win 266.63
Ave Loss -210.84
Profit Factor 1.78
Drawdown 798
pts per trade 68.13



a bit better than the standard sibkiss method which i think had about 45-50pts per trade over a similar period, and the equity curve was a bit on the spiky side.

all in all, i think this a lot more robust than earlier methods. will attempt to fwd test it with fresh data.

could someone please verify my results?

the rules are.....

take the price of cable at Midday GMT on a tuesday (my spreadsheet is 3 hours ahead, so 1400 is actually 11am. using the close of this bar gives midday)

if the price at midday is greater than the price at 8am (1000 on my data) then go long, else go short.

close positions out on the 2nd friday. eg 8 trading days later.


looks to be a winner to me. and stops will doubtless improve the drawdown and profit stats, since for once we are trading with the trend.


comments, as usual, will be ignored lol
