Color JSatl Digit Strategy

This strategy converts the MQL5 expert "Exp_ColorJSatl_Digit" into StockSharp. It digitizes the slope of the Jurik Moving Average (JMA) to classify each bar as up or down. A shift from state 0 to 1 marks an emerging uptrend, while a change from 1 to 0 signals a downtrend.

The algorithm subscribes to candles of a chosen timeframe and binds a JMA indicator. When the JMA turns upward the strategy opens a long position and closes any short. When the JMA turns downward it opens a short and closes any long. The optional DirectMode parameter inverts the signals to trade counter-trend.

Positions are protected by percentage-based stop loss and take profit levels. All parameters are defined through StrategyParam and can be optimized.

Details

  • Entry Criteria
    • Long: JMA turns upward (prev > prevPrev && current >= prev) and DirectMode is true. In reverse mode a downward turn opens the long.
    • Short: JMA turns downward (prev < prevPrev && current <= prev) and DirectMode is true. In reverse mode an upward turn opens the short.
  • Exit Criteria: Opposite signal triggers an immediate market order in the other direction. Protective orders may also exit positions.
  • Stops: Percentage stop loss and take profit via StartProtection.
  • Default Values
    • JMA Length = 30
    • Candle Type = 4-hour candles
    • Stop Loss % = 1
    • Take Profit % = 2
    • Direct Mode = true
  • Filters
    • Category: Trend following
    • Direction: Both (reversible)
    • Indicators: Jurik Moving Average
    • Stops: Yes
    • Complexity: Medium
    • Timeframe: Medium-term
    • Seasonality: No
    • Neural networks: No
    • Divergence: No
    • Risk level: Moderate
