SyncTrend DAX is an automated trading strategy for ProRealTime based on the SyncTrend setup, which uses price crossing a moving average on the 1-hour timeframe.
When a SyncTrend signal is detected and the strategy's different filters validate the signal, a Long or Short position is automatically opened on Mini DAX (DXM) or Micro DAX (DXS).
Several signal validation filters are used to avoid certain unfavourable market conditions, including volatility on a higher timeframe, excessive price movement on a lower timeframe and the underlying market trend.
As soon as a position is opened, it is protected by an initial stop placed automatically. The stop then evolves into a trailing stop according to the trading algorithm's rules. The trade is normally closed by the trailing stop, or following an opposite signal.
A position may be held for several days when the strategy's conditions are met. No positions are held over the weekend: any positions still open on Friday evening are closed one hour before the end of the session.
The strategy was developed and optimised using nearly 6 years of historical data, then monitored outside the development period and in live trading. Detailed results are presented below.
The backtest results shown below are based on 1 Mini DAX (DXM) contract, without reinvesting profits, including commissions and a 2-point spread.
The live trading results shown below are based on 2 Micro DAX (DXS) contracts, without reinvesting profits, including commissions and a 2-point spread.
⚠️ The best performance is achieved on Mini DAX (DXM), while remaining close on Micro DAX (DXS). The “point value / cost per contract” ratio is more favourable on DXM.
