18# Binary Arrow Backtest
Submit by Dimitri
Overview: The strategy is based on a custom indicator that provides an alert in the form of a white circle drawn on the chart. The alert anticipates a trading signal, and at the opening of the next candle, you enter a position—either a Buy or a Sell. After the trade is opened, an arrow appears, confirming the direction (Buy or Sell).
This strategy is designed to trade binary options with an expiration of 1 candle. The key is to understand the difference between the behavior of the indicator in backtests versus real-time trading.
Step-by-Step Strategy:
1. Understanding the Signal:
-
White Circle: This is an alert, not the final signal to enter a trade. The white circle draws on the current candle to suggest that a potential setup is forming.
-
Next Candle: You enter the trade at the opening of the candle following the white circle.
-
Arrow Confirmation: After entering the trade, an arrow appears, confirming the direction of the signal (either Buy or Sell).
2. Trading Rules:
-
Timeframe: Use a timeframe appropriate for short-term trading (e.g., 1 minute or 5 minutes) since the expiration is only 1 candle.
-
Expiration: Each trade will expire after 1 candle. If you’re trading a 1-minute chart, the expiration of each option is 1 minute.
-
Entry:
-
Wait for the white circle to appear during the current candle.
-
As soon as the next candle opens, enter the trade based on the anticipated signal (Buy or Sell).
-
Buy Signal: Enter a Buy position at the opening of the next candle.
-
Sell Signal: Enter a Sell position at the opening of the next candle.
-
3. Backtest Charts vs. Real-Time Behavior:
-
In backtests, the white circle and arrow might appear neatly, giving a visual understanding of how the trades would have worked in the past. This makes it easier to analyze historical performance.
-
In real-time, the behavior might be more dynamic. The white circle gives you advance notice, but the arrow confirming the direction may appear after you've already entered the trade.
-
Important: Backtests can show more perfect signals than you will experience in real-time trading. The goal is to familiarize yourself with how the indicator "paints" these signals in live conditions.
-
4. Managing Expectations in Real-Time:
-
Lag in Signal Confirmation: Be prepared that the arrow will only appear after entering the trade, and it can occasionally differ from what you anticipated based on the white circle.
-
Market Conditions: The indicator may behave differently under varying market conditions (ranging vs. trending markets), so understand its performance in both types of markets through backtesting and forward testing.
5. Risk Management:
-
Fixed Percentage Risk Per Trade: It’s advisable to use a fixed percentage of your account balance per trade (e.g., 1-2% of your capital) to avoid overexposure.
-
Loss Limitation: If the strategy results in consecutive losses (e.g., 3-5 in a row), stop trading and reassess market conditions or strategy performance.
Example of Strategy in Action:
-
White Circle Alert: A white circle appears on the current candle. You know this is an indication that a signal might be forming.
-
Next Candle (Opening): At the opening of the next candle (after the white circle), you immediately take action:
-
If the white circle suggests a potential upward move, you enter a Buy trade.
-
If the white circle suggests a potential downward move, you enter a Sell trade.
-
-
Arrow Confirmation: After you’ve entered the trade, an arrow appears to confirm the direction of the signal. This is a form of post-entry validation.
Market Conditions: Avoid trading in highly volatile or unpredictable market conditions (e.g., during major news releases).
-
Currency Pairs/Assets: Stick to assets that are stable and liquid (e.g., major forex pairs, high-volume stocks, or indices).
-
Practice on a Demo Account: Since the real-time indicator behaves differently, practice on a demo account to familiarize yourself with how the indicator operates in live market conditions.

The graphs I show are from backtest, so very real. The expected profitability in real varies from 45% to 60. It is not the one that the indicator shows when you insert the template. There is a need to find a filter, the basis is good.
