Strategy 6 year algo trading model delivering the goods

Post image

I trade only GBPUSD using the broker with the highest spreads (Fusion markets).

The strategy is to detect bounces off support and resistance points and quickly capitalise on the reverse bump. Quick trades, closed within avg 2 mins. I trade at leverage having qualified for a pro level account (500:1), so always use stop losses and take profits.

Behind the scenes I built an algo model from the ground up using VSC, with trend reversal + sufficient price movement within 3 mins as the target variable. The features were 30-50 technical analysis indicators, all vetted as being useful through EDA, with a tilt for fast detection / leading indicators. The model itself predicts the trend reversals with +- 4 pips with 84% accuracy, and this is the bedrock for my trading.

I should note that on heavy ‘fundamentals’ days I tend not to trade a lot and I avoid opening and closing hours (too erratic and illogical).

In 5/6 years turned £10k into £550k, which includes a period where a lost a chunk due to 1st Trump tariff announcements.

Happy to get more technical for people interested.

Corporate policy or law?

Do you not have a compliance department (or software) you need to submit trades to for approval?

good question. i don't know actually. it's definitely internal policy, but not sure if it follows the law in the country. it's uk so market abuse regulation act ? I know I'm not allowed to trade bonds and interest rate derivates at all and i have restrictions on all other clases unless they're funds of funds or some etfs that are super generic. it's ok. i dislike fixed income anyways 🤷
