Trading with Python: Simple Scalping Strategy

Welcome again! In this video we will discuss a trading strategy that has shown remarkable potential. Our Python-based approach to this simple scalping system has yielded over 200% returns in just a three-month testing period, demonstrating its effectiveness and potential for both manual and algorithmic trading styles.
Our focus is on a trading strategy that can be easily optimized and adapted to your trading needs. The strategy is straightforward, making it ideal for both new and experienced traders. We use a 5-minute timeframe to accelerate trading and increase the number of trades, optimizing the risk-reward ratio and other key parameters through Python and numerical backtesting.
The Python code for this backtest is readily available for download from the link below,this allows you to follow along, experiment, and tailor the strategy to your trading preferences. We utilize two moving average curves to identify market trends: a fast moving average and a slow moving average. This helps in determining uptrends and downtrends, guiding our decision on whether to take long or short positions.
Additionally, we incorporate Bollinger bands to pinpoint entry points for positions.
We also discuss how to set stop-loss (SL) and take-profit (TP) distances by considering market volatility and using the Average True Range (ATR) indicator. The exact numerical values for the lengths of the moving averages and the parameters of the Bollinger bands will be detailed in the coding part of the video.

    First thank you so much for such amasing and excellent video. I propose to implement the long position scalping strategy using MACD as a signal for potential entry position, then wait until EMA 21 crosses EMA 50, price has to be on top of EMA 200 and VWAP, price hitting support line with red candles with acceptable body and long whicks, high body green candles and high trading volume to make sure the price will bounce to up trend, as higher number of confluence we have, higher is the probability to enter a good position. Additionall, it will be interesting to add market sentiment analysis to connect our technical analysis with fundamental analysis., stop loss and take profit same conditions you shiwed on the video.

  • @CodeTradingCafe

    @CodeTradingCafe

    5 ай бұрын

    The BB 1.5 is to increase the signal frequency, it's easier for the price to cross 1.5 than to cross 2, however 2 is more selective so maybe the win rate would be greater. for the length I usually compute it based on time so 5 min times 15 that't the time I want to consider for the signal, somehow answering the question, how much time/data should we consider for the signal?

    I think the calculation of the SL (Stop Loss) and TP (Take Profit) needs to be re-evaluated, as sometimes the TP/SL is less than 5 pips, which most brokers will not accept. With such low values, the probability of having a correct prediction increases, and the drawdown will be less, which might look impressive in backtesting. However, in reality, it may not meet expectations. Also, the ratio between the SL and the TP is low, ranging from 1.1 to 1.5. I believe this is bet low, especially when considering a 40% win rate. With that being said, the video is great.

  • @CodeTradingCafe

    Hey, thank you for your comment. I think you are right regarding TP/SL in live trading, mostly also because of the spread it will interfere with the TP and SL values and so the ratio... therefore the results will be different then the optimization results we obtained using the method from the previous video. It requires more work to tune it live and observe the results, kind of a slow mission but very much needed.

    It's interesting to see how you could get a relatively simple rule-based strategy like this to actually work. Personally I was never successful with that, well at least not in a way that would also make back trading fees. But admittedly I wasn't as rigorous as you when I first tried something like this (and I didn't know much at all about trading, so that didn't help either). I only started to get profitable results when I started applying machine learning (and started to learn more about trading as I went along). I already had some years of experience with machine learning under my belt (but in very different domains), but I have to say even with that experience it took me a lot of experimentation to get it to work to an acceptable agree with trading. It's perhaps the most difficult and counter-intuitive problem I ever worked on. But that makes it so interesting too :)

    In my opinion, this backtest is not representative of the validity of the strategy. This is a trend-following stragegy, and you backtested it only over three months when the market was mostly trending downward. So, no surprise that if you test a trend-following strategy on a trending market, the strategy will come out as profitable. However, if you use this strategy live, you will pour money down the drain when the market goes sideways. It is not a good strategy, in my opinion.
