DSS Bressert Strategy

This strategy uses the Double Smoothed Stochastic (DSS) Bressert indicator. Two lines are calculated:

  • DSS line – stochastic value smoothed twice with exponential moving average.
  • MIT line – intermediate value after the first smoothing.

A trade is opened when these lines cross:

  • Buy when the DSS line crosses below the MIT line after being above it.
  • Sell when the MIT line crosses below the DSS line after being above it.

Parameters

Parameter Description
EmaPeriod EMA smoothing period (default: 8)
StoPeriod Stochastic calculation period (default: 13)
TakeProfitPercent Take profit percentage for protective orders (default: 2)
StopLossPercent Stop loss percentage for protective orders (default: 1)
CandleType Timeframe used for calculations (default: 4 hours)

Notes

  • Strategy works on closed candles only.
  • Protection uses percentage based stop loss and take profit.
