Strategy Test
Worked on strategies based on fractals, time cycle and pure price based
triggers for trading
Fractals are part of our daily life and are as much part of markets i.e. similar
patterns are repeated in each time frame be it minutes, hours, days or weeks
Time cycle similar to fractals act as points of important reversal or continuation of
trend
Volatility is used to identify opportunities which can payoff faster in terms of time
Pure price based methods rely on absolute price levels for entry and exit thus
have little room for bias
Tested various fractals (that can be coded) and derived list of fractals which
have strong advantages in terms of RR (Risk:Reward) and success ratio
Time cycle is used to identify the fractal pattern with a time cycle pattern
and tested in terms of Risk:Reward and success ratio
Each pattern and strategy was tested for last 20-30 years various index
data (national and international). Observation
Has significant advantages over trend/momentum based strategies
Strategies doesnt get whipsawed as its able to capture every big move (Long or
Short)
Strategy is used to identify trailing Stop Loss as well as Stop Loss, thus acts as
automatic filter for profit booking too
All the test results are purely based on fractals and time . It doesnt contain
filters based on any technical. Filters improve the winning percentage and
profit factors significantly
Tests prove statistically using these strategies have a strong edge over
other rules
