The MasterMind Strategy

Strategy using Stochastic oscillator and Williams %R to capture extreme oversold and overbought conditions.

Overview

The strategy monitors two momentum indicators:

  • Stochastic Oscillator with base length 100 and smoothing 3/3.
  • Williams %R with length 100.

A long position is opened when the Stochastic %D value drops below 3 while Williams %R is under -99.9, indicating an oversold market. A short position is opened when Stochastic %D rises above 97 and Williams %R climbs above -0.1, signalling an overbought market.

After entering a trade, the algorithm manages risk through stop loss, take profit, trailing stop and optional break-even movement.

Parameters

  • StochasticLength – period for Stochastic and Williams %R calculations.
  • StopLoss – distance from entry price for stop loss in points.
  • TakeProfit – take profit distance in points.
  • TrailingStop – activation distance for trailing in points.
  • TrailingStep – step of trailing stop in points.
  • BreakEven – profit in points at which the stop is moved to entry.
  • CandleType – candle time frame for strategy calculations.

Indicators

  • StochasticOscillator
  • WilliamsR

Trading Rules

  1. Buy when %D < 3 and Williams %R < -99.9.
  2. Sell when %D > 97 and Williams %R > -0.1.
  3. After entry, apply stop loss and take profit.
  4. Move stop to break-even when price advances by BreakEven.
  5. Activate trailing stop after price moves by TrailingStop, shifting by TrailingStep.

Notes

The strategy uses the high-level API of StockSharp and is intended as an educational example.
