RSI and earnings filtering
« on: October 01, 2014, 09:56:48 am »
Hi Karel,
It would be interting you add a RSI filter caluclated on the ratio. for exemple enter the pair long if we are bellow  stddev AND RSI<30.

You could also add a filter to don't trade pairs arround earnings.

thank for tour fantastic work.

Yes, this is a good idea. Adding to TODO list, for both PTL Trader and backtester.

You could also add a filter to don't trade pairs arround earnings.

We may think about this. Do you know a good source of earnings data (preferably with API)?

Karel,
Could you also avoid the problem that the system re-enter in trade after cutting the 20 days stop loss?

RSI filter is now online (in backtester). Example:

Hello Karel,

I see in the Wiki that the default value for the RSI = 15, but on the web, the default value usually used for the RSI is 14.

From your experience, is there really a noticeable difference between the two?
Which one is supposed to give better results as default value?

The difference is negligible. You should determine optimal parameters yourself by making multiple backtests.

Thanks, Karel  :)

About the RSI Threshold, what would be the default value?

I can't seem to find it in the wiki  :(
