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:

  1. White Circle Alert: A white circle appears on the current candle. You know this is an indication that a signal might be forming.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
