General Discussion / What is your best strategy to solve these trading problems?

« on: November 20, 2017, 07:25:34 AM »

Buy low sell high are easy to say, but we all know these are the 2 problems for everyone when trading:

1. bought and the price goes even lower
2. sell and the price goes even higher

So, please share what is your best strategy to solve these?
'TSSL' vs. 'stepgain'

Why one better than another?

General Discussion / Re: EMA1 and EMA2 settings?

I found some answers here:

https://github.com/GuntharDeNiro/BTCT/wiki/Candlestick-period

The PERIOD you set for candlesticks in your strategy is very important, since it has a big effect on how EMA1 and EMA2 are calculated. This article provides a really quick overview of what the impact of PERIOD is.

A single candlestick is a visualization of the opening, closing, high and low prices within a certain timeframe. The most common used values for this timeframe (PERIOD) are 5 minutes, 15 minutes and 30 minutes. The closing price of each candlestick is used for calculating EMA1 and EMA2.

Using shorter candlesticks results in more price movement around EMA, this can be great for trading, but also be risky because you are fixated on short term trends only.

In the image below, you can see the effect on EMA (the green and red lines) when using different candlestick sizes, while keeping other variables the same.

I hope someone would help answer this. I think many people are confused too. Nobody really knows for sure how much EMA1 and EMA2 matter.
