Free Strategy #02 (ES / SPY)This strategy was designed to be traded on daily data on the ES and SPY—the strategy was originally developed for NinjaTrader, which displays daily ES data based on RTH hours instead of 24 hours (1440 minute) like TradingView does, so we are presenting the results on the SPY until we figure out how to overcome this hurdle.

SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY)
Free Strategy #01 (ES / SPY)The strategy was designed to be traded based on daily data on the ES and SPY--the strategy was originally developed on NinjaTrader using approximately 50% out of sample data with a slippage of 1 tick on the ES. This is our first strategy that we converted from NinjaTrader to TradingView, so if you see any issues with our conversion, please let us know as we are still learning TradingView Pine Script.
SPY Master v1.0This is a simple swing trading algorithm that uses a fast RSI-EMA to trigger buy/cover signals and a slow RSI-EMA to trigger sell/short signals for SPY, an xchange-traded fund for the S&P 500.
The idea behind this strategy follows the premise that most profitable momentum trades usually occur during periods when price is trending up or down. Periods of flat price actions are usually where most unprofitable trades occur. Because we cannot predict exactly when trending periods will occur, the algorithm basically bets money on all trade opportunities during all market conditions. Despite an accuracy rate of only 40%, the algorithm's asymmetric risk/reward profile allows the average winner to be 2x the average loser. The end result is a positive (profitable) net payout.
TRADING RULES:
Buy/Cover = EMA3(RSI2) cross> 50
Sell/Short = EMA5(RSI2) cross< 50
BACKTEST SETTINGS:
- Period = March 2011 - Present
- Initial capital = $10,000
- Dividends excluded
- Trading costs excluded
PERFORMANCE COMPARISON:
There are 657 trades, which means 1,314 orders. Assuming each order costs $2 (what I pay for at Interactive Brokers), total trading costs should be $2,628.
-SPY (buy & hold) = 132.73 ---> 193.22 = +45.57% (dividends excluded)
-SPY Master v1.0 = $12,649 - $2,628 = $10,021 = +100.21%
