Optimizing Confluence and Super Trends Strategies

Isolating Factions

If multiple factions are contributing to a strategy, each faction should be isolated and optimized individually before backtesting the complete strategy. See the Isolating Factions section for details.

It may also prove beneficial to Deactivate Risk Management Settings and Deactivate Volume Control, Price Control, and Volatility settings to simplify optimization initially.

Optimizing Confluence and Super Trends Strategies

It is best to optimize each Faction contributing to a strategy before combining them using the Confluence or Super Trend features.

For example, to use Rangers as a Super Trend confirmation with Vikings, implement the following steps:

1. Load Rangers as the primary Faction.

2. Ensure all boxes in the Confluence and Super Trends sections are unchecked

3. Optimize Rangers settings until the Strategy Tester Panel shows maximum Net Profit and minimal Max Drawdown.

4. Switch the primary Faction to Vikings.

5. Optimize Vikings settings until the Strategy Tester Panel shows maximum Net Profit and minimal Max Drawdown.

6. Select Rangers Confirmation in the Super Trends settings.
