"TREND" is a new Function that monitors the ATS-ZB32
while it is trading to make sure that it is always
trading in the direction of the market.

TREND has a new function; The TREND STOP

The TREND STOP has been implemented to protect the profits from the REVERSE function of TREND if the market turned against the trade.

If the REVERSE Function starts making over $7000 in profits,
TREND places a stop of $2000 above or below the CLOSE.

For example on: 09SEP22:
The REVERSE Functio was making a profit of $7750: RV-SELL 7750
TREND placed a BUY Stop $2000 above the CLOSE at: 134-30

On 21OCT22 The stop was placed at: 121-04
On 28OCT22, the CLOSE was at: 121-08, 4 ticks higher than B-Stop.
The system got out of the trade and a new LONG trade started.

_____________________________________

The TREND Function is very new and I am always trying to make it better, with better and simpler algorithms and better parameters.

The new "TREND" Function detects WHEN a trade goes wrong and takes the system out of the market with a smaller loss.

The function "TREND" has the following objectives:

  • To GET OUT OF losing trades ASAP with a smaller loss.
  • To reduce the maximum drawdown.

If a trade starts losing money, "TREND" checks the direction of the market.

If the market is moving in the opposite direction, "TREND" gives you a signal to TRD-EXIT the trade with a smaller loss.

The REVERSE Function of TREND will also give you a 'RV-SELL' or a 'RV-BUY' signal to reverse the position, which means:

1. If the system is 'LONG' you will get 'RV-SELL' signal to go 'SHORT'.
2. If the system is 'SHORT' you will get 'RV-BUY' signal to go 'LONG'.
3. Both 'RV-SELL' and the 'RV-BUY' signals are followed by a 'GET-OUT' signal.

The signal TRD-EXIT from TREND is shown on:

  • 1. The Trend Detail Report
  • 2. The System Detail Report.

You also get a message on the Control Panel to check the TREND signal.

  1. When you get the "T-EXIT" signal from "TREND" close the trade and Cancel the STOP.
  2. When the signal "T-EXIT" goes away resume the trade.
  3. If a trade is closed while "T-EXIT" is still on, follow the new signal from the system.

When TREND is active you get a signal on the Control Panel

The correct way to Trade the Trend signal.
