On 15m EURUSD, sell when price is below the Ichimoku cloud and the base line (red) is above the conversion line (green), entering contrarian on a Parabolic SAR BUY signal; buy is the mirror (above the cloud, conversion above base, PSAR sell signal). Stop at the ATR stop-loss-finder line (14, 2.5x), target 1.5R.
The exact rules we tested
- 01Instrument: EURUSD | Signal timeframe: 15m | Direction: both
- 02LONG when: [sar > high] just became true this bar
- 03SHORT when: [sar < low] just became true this bar
- 04Long filter: (close > cloud_top) AND (conv.mid > base.mid)
- 05Short filter: (close < cloud_bot) AND (conv.mid < base.mid)
- 06Entry: market at next bar open
- 07Stop: 2.5 x ATR(14)
- 08Target: 1.5R (risk-multiple of stop)
- 09Where cb = conv.mid plus base.mid
- 10Where spana = cb times 0.5
- 11Where cloud_top = the higher of spana and spanb_raw.mid
- 12Where cloud_bot = the lower of spana and spanb_raw.mid
