Bruno Trend Strategy

Overview

Bruno Trend Strategy is a StockSharp port of the MetaTrader expert advisor "Bruno_v1". The strategy trades on 30-minute candles and focuses on synchronized bullish signals from several classic trend-following and momentum indicators. Only long positions are opened, mimicking the original expert that concentrated on bullish breakouts confirmed by indicator alignment.

Trading Logic

  1. Timeframe: 30-minute candles.
  2. Indicators:
    • Simple Moving Average (SMA) with length 4 used as a short-term momentum gauge.
    • Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) with lengths 8 and 21 to define the primary trend direction.
    • Average Directional Index (ADX) with period 13 to ensure directional strength via +DI and -DI components.
    • Stochastic Oscillator with parameters %K=21, %D=3, slowing=3 to confirm momentum while avoiding overbought levels.
    • MACD (13, 34, 8) for histogram and signal line confirmation.
    • Parabolic SAR (step 0.055, maximum 0.21) to verify upward acceleration and manage exits.
  3. Entry Rules:
    • EMA(8) must be above EMA(21).
    • ADX filter: +DI greater than -DI and above 20.
    • Stochastic filter: %K above %D but still below 80 to stay out of overbought extremes.
    • MACD histogram above zero and above the signal line.
    • Parabolic SAR rising (current SAR higher than the previous reading).
    • Current position must be flat or short. Any short position is closed before entering the new long trade.
  4. Exit Rules:
    • Close the long position when the previous candle close falls below the previous Parabolic SAR value, replicating the MetaTrader exit trigger.

Risk Management

  • Default lot size: 0.1 lots.
  • Optional MetaTrader-style protection: 50 pip take-profit and 30 pip stop-loss, configured with StartProtection. Trailing stops are disabled by default to mirror the original script.

Notes

  • The strategy ignores the unused short setup from the MetaTrader code, matching the original behavior where short trades were effectively disabled.
  • Indicator values are processed via StockSharp's high-level API to avoid manual buffering and stay aligned with the project guidelines.
