An AWESOME Cryptocurrency Intraday Trading strategy YOU shouldn't miss [built and tested in Python]

[@2k10clarky]

I love the simplicity of this algo, honestly I think there is very limited alpha (nil after fees and slipage) in strategies that use popular indicators but this is something I don't see any ppl using. Potentially promising as Elon would say

[@deniszhuravlev9874]

So, I took your strategy, spent few days to write a bot, and understood, that 1) this is the same, as Bolinger Bands indicator strategy. 2) When you have some weeks/monthes with down trends this strategy without SL generates big minuses. So, you have to use StopLoses. 3) Period for High, low rolling for testing should be from 10 to 450.

Just discovered your KZbin channel and this is the first video I watched. I really like your style and approach - easy to follow, well explained and very logical. I learned a lot from just this video and I would definitely appreciate watching the follow-up video on the parameter optimization. I will definitely become a Tier-2 member - you are a quality provider of valuable content. Thank you.

[@Algovibes]

Thank you very much Shaun. Really appreciate your kind words and your support being an Algovibes channel member :-)

[@FireFly969]

It's a great strategy I think it still can be optimised using stoploss takeprofit, add short and long sell, try other intervals, using leverage so the fees will be small(that's if it's profitable on the long term) and if it's not profitable and give a lot of losses we can reverse the buy and the sell conditions

[@hamzavictor2385]

I love the idea of the next video already. The optimisation will be a practical lesson to learn.

I think You can automate optimization for your parameters(backtesting window,...) using algorithms such as DE which has a very simple implementation in scipy library to optimize your profits.

Cool idea. Anyhow for the next one we are pretty much just using a brute force approach passing a range of parameters and finding the window with the best return.

[@willsandiford5345]

@@Algovibes I know I probably sound annoying, but seriously use testing data before turning it into a bot. You could make serious losses otherwise. You probably already knew that but just saying in case (:

Hey, I made a MetaTrader4 script with this strategy with a little change - I made it two sided since I can have both sell and buy orders simoultaneously. I'm opening a sell market order when the price crossing the mid line from above to below and closing this position when the price touches the minimum low line, and vice versa. And it shows suspiciously good results. In order to avoid the looking forward in history, I didn't use 0 indices on bar hisory.

[@waqarhaq5280]

what is accuracy ?

[@muggzzzzz]

@@waqarhaq5280 didn't get your question honestly. What accuracy? Backtest accuracy?

[@2k10clarky]

Sounds like over fitting, have you tried changing the params and lots of different assets? Uptrending, ranging and down trending assets?

[@muggzzzzz]

@@2k10clarky it definitely is not an overfitting because it does the same thing on other currencies without any tweaks, I didnt do any optimization.

[@diegojorda2600]

hi bro, binance doesnt charge for selling the asset. Great video, its helping a lot.

[@eastwesttrading269]

Hi! I think an interesting angle you can pursue is to try and write an algo that uses multiple profit levels. For example, we buy when price closes above the 50 MA, sell 50% at the 100 MA and the other 50% at the 150 MA all OCO a stop with a close below the 25 MA. I seriously doubt that would work as a strategy, but I have been trying to code a system that uses multiple profits and have found it more challenging than it should have been to execute. I would love to see how your expertise would work around and solve this problem! Thankyou for all your awesome videos!

By logic buy order will fire at mid point value and cover order on highpoint value. This will be correct depiction of trades else it os showing 0 profit on your 1st trade which is not the case.

[@davidmilligan4751]

very interesting idea but would it have not been more profitable to buy below the average line? this is similar to the BB strategy that the big banks use in that below the average is a cheap buy in and above the average line is a good sell point and as long as the algo is checking to make sure the price is higher than the original buy price this could be done on a very frequent basis making for a profitable system if im correct? please let me know your thoughts on this idea

[@Algovibes]

Interesting thoughts - thanks a lot for sharing them. What does backtesting this yield?

[@vaaronka]

So I just started learning algorithmic trading and I had a complete plan how to achieve that I prepared books, articles, courses etc ... but I ended up a "one fit for all" channel with you ! So million thanks for making easier this path :D I'm also wondering, about what Strategies and which technical indicators do you prefer and why (maybe you can make a video about that also :) ) So thanks a lot !

[@alivarfan1009]

Great video. Can you try to adapt this strategy to trade in both directions? Both opening buy and short positions?

[@deniszhuravlev9874]

Add df[lowapproach] = ... Colse < df.rolling... Add df[close_a_mid_2] = ... Close < df.mid... Add df[midcross_2] = (the same code, but with [close_a_mid_2]) And you can use sells too. P.s. If you don't understand his code, It won't help u.

[@willsandiford5345]

A warning about optimising. I used a genetic algorithm to optimise 3 parameters on this strategy and got over 100% return over the time interval. When I tried those parameters on data it hasn't seen I got a 10% loss ): Just make sure you use testing data before turning it into a bot.

[@ianholloway9493]

Yeah I was testing the DE algo as well and got somewhat simular results. It seems as though the algo favors the 100% gain in the influencing the of the rolling average values even though that not what creates the most gains on average.

[@fernandopereira3580]

@@ianholloway9493 What is DE?

[@tc8557]

That's overfitting. Should use several assets, several different timeframes, run it, aggregate and compare data and select the best one on average

[@willsandiford5345]

@@tc8557 I know what overfitting is. I used 70 different coins and trained it on 4 years of data and tested it on 1 year. Multiple epochs of randomly selected yearly time periods within those 4 years. So many methods to avoid and reduce overfitting. But the results were either it did really well or really bad and averaged -10% return on all coins.

[@c0nfuser]

hey, when you mean Close price it is actually current price right? I guess running this in real time are you checking the previous close price or checking the current price? Also regarding highapproach you mentioned in the beggining "near rolling max" but you actually checking if is greater than that? (and not checking if is also lower?) Do I miss something? Cheers

[@Algovibes]

It is the last available close price, not the current price. In a realtime environment you would take the realtime price from e.g. a live data stream (covered topics like that in the cryptobot playlist). No I am checking if it is near the rolling max, that's why I am using this discount factor (0.996).

Hi mate, i was using Spyder for python but it keep saying "getdata" is not defined. Any idea?

[@Algovibes]

Hello! You need to make sure you defined the getdata function in your script.

[@ayush2626]

Any reason why you decided to go with for loop rather than vector based? Also if I am not wrong, that too is based on for loop with range len? Surprisingly this loop is working much faster than the previous versions.

[@Algovibes]

More intuitive and easier to implement in that case.

[@christosck]

Hi mate, having some trouble getting the loop to work, not sure why. It just executes the first buy/datetime and then stops there. Have you tried executing this recently ?

[@christosck]

I also tried turning the high approach to True/False, but still the same result.

[@christosck]

got it to work, thanks for the material btw. great stuff !!

[@Algovibes]

Thanks mate :-) Awesome that you solved it on your own.

[@christosck]

@Algovibes btw something i noted actually running it on binance. if your starting balance on spot is 0, the script fails. cause purchased and then into wallet quantity ends up being less. i.e. 4000 becomes 3976. i understand it's the binance take. so have to set sell side quantity to spot holdings whoch currently I'm working on OR, just have excess spot in wallet for particular pair. I used the principles from another one of your videos to set up the trading strat to work woth logic from this video. perhaps you can revisit that other video and see kzbin.info/www/bejne/on_Ze4uBjbqElbc

Dear god, thank you for your insights and for all your ideas that make a new path spring up in us ;-) I'm trying to automate a strategy, based on what I've learned from your videos, but nothing works spectacularly: I have a small SQL database on MSAccess for organization, task sequencing, and logging for transactions analysis that were carried out, and statistics in order to create new ideas. I also have 3 Pyhtons scripts for the implementation of a framework that can use all the strategies you talk about in your videos... I'm really not very good at dev, you can call me a newbie, to be honest, but I always find a solution to what I want to do. In short, I come to what I want to say: I can do all the strategies, in the short or long term, by changing the parameters on the left and on the right, nothing works asit should in the end, no strategy is winning... and worse, when I backtest it and it seems really great, I put it in Prod and directly after, I only have false start with small losses but no more gains... HELP ;-) :-( If you can give me something profitable in the long and in the short...? ... the shorter and more profitable the best, of course :-))))) I wonder also if there is a possibility to interract with 'tradingview 'from which we could retreive so many information, so many indicators that can help in our strategies ... Have already worked on that ? Have everyone a nice day
