I've been playing around with the Coral Filter that @Fat Tails coded (thanks mate). I wanted to create a trend following system that was simple, like the three ducks system to see if it would work. Here I use three data series and two coral filters, one on each, both set to 10,30. I use a 5 minute, 60 minute and 420 min data series. The Coral filter on the 5 minute is just for information, not for signals
The rules are simple, enter a short when both Coral Filters on the 60 and 240 turn red. Exit once one goes green. For a long then enter once both are green and exit once one goes red. You can use a break of the entry and exit candle as the exact entries and exits.
I can't code and I've got too much work at the coders now, so i thought i throw this one out for discussion and maybe some of the systematic guys can have some fun with it.
It's just a trend indicator that work on slope....I was really thinking someone experienced with systematic trading would comment on it, not at thinking they would code it. If I wanted it coded I would get it coded....
Its not a system, just thought it was fun to play with and wondered if anyone had been using the filters...
@hermes777 , yes i was using 4 hour time frames....
I now have a better use for the Coral Filters. I put the 240 min AUD, the Yen, the DX, US Bonds and notes, the bund and the bobl, on a chart with a Coral Filter for each, hide the price and it becomes my sentiment or fear index...green is good red is fear. You have to color the right trend direction of course. So far its pretty handy and saves all that space on my screens too...
