Hey fellow traders! Today, I want to dive into an intriguing trading strategy called Semilong, specifically designed for MetaTrader 4. If you're looking to enhance your trading game, this might just be the tool you need!
The Semilong system operates by opening trades when the market moves against your position for a certain period, specifically 0-n1, and by a set number of points, p1. After that, it tracks the market's movement toward your trade for the period of n1-n2 and by p2 points. Closing trades happens either at your Take Profit (TP) or Stop Loss (SL).
Now, let’s talk results. I’ve been optimizing this strategy on the GBPUSD pair using the M15 timeframe, and I can confidently say the results are promising! One of the standout features of Semilong is that groups of similar parameters yield consistent outcomes. This is a refreshing change from traditional reoptimization methods, where just a tiny tweak in a parameter can lead to unpredictable results.
What’s even better? The optimal parameters you select for one timeframe—say, over six months—tend to work well in subsequent periods too. This consistency can really help streamline your trading approach.
Based on my optimization of the TP/SL ratio, I found that a ratio of 2:1 is the most effective for managing your money (MM). This means for every unit of risk, you're aiming to gain double that amount. Sounds good, right?
If you're eager to give this strategy a shot, remember to test it thoroughly on a demo account before diving in with real money. Happy trading!
