What is the “TREND BY TREND” strategy ?

This is a mid-long term strategy based on DAX 40 and timeframe 15 minutes. The purpose of this strategy is based on two points:

• Take all the up-trend and down-trend during the DAX cash market (9:00 – 17:30). Exit all positions as per target profit during open/close cash market.
• Minimize the loss of the capital with tigh stop loss on all positions.

Since more than 10 years on backtesting, this strategy has succeeded in catching the main trends and avoiding the market traps.

How to start ?

After installation on the ProRealTime platform, you will have to :

• NB –> set the number of orders according to your starting capital.
• REINVEST –> activate the option for reinvest the gains.
• MARGIN –> Set the margin for reinvest
• MAXCAPITALLOSS –> set the stop loss capital based on the starting capital.

The minimum capital for this strategy is 2.000 Euro for 1 contract on the CFD Dax40 1€/point.

What is the RE-INVEST option ?

The REINVEST option allows you to automatically reinvest the gains. Reinvestment only works if the gain / loss ratio is positive.

By default this option is set to NO (REINVEST = 0). To use it, you have to put 1.

A second option is available to configure the reinvestment margin. Be careful, the lower the rate, the greater the leverage effect on the reinvestment. A rate of 100% corresponds to leverage 1.

By default, the margin is set to 10%.

The formula is: (Gain-loss) / (price closing * (MARGIN / 100)) if the Gain / Loss ratio is positive.

Please note that the MARGIN option is useful only if REINVEST option is set to 1

What Is MAXCAPITALLOSS ?

Even if a strategy has been working for a long time, a change in the market can make it lose. To protect your capital, you have to set the capital and the maximum of capital you are ready to lose. By default, the MAXCAPITALLOSS is set to 20%.

For example, if you have a capital of 2.000€ and the maxcapitalloss is set to 20%, the strategy will stop automatically if the capital drops to 1.600€ (-20%).
