SuperTrend + Bollinger + MACD

Hello forex buddies,

I am trying this system but I might need some suggestions

The system is based on the following indicators:

  • Bollinger Bands 100,2, this helps to exclude ranging periods
  • SuperTrend 5,3.0 (but this might change depending on the currency and chart
  • MACD 10,34,5

Buy signal

  • Current MACD signal higher than previous
  • Price over upper bollinger band
  • Price above Supertrend line
  • Time in the session for the pair

Sell signal

  • Current MACD signal lower than previous
  • Price lower than lower bollinger band
  • Price lower than Supertrend line
  • Time in the session for the pair

Stop Loss

  • Previous value of the supertrend line (since the current one is still in formation)
  • the Stop Loss follows the SuperTrend line
  • Call x the pips between price and the SL

Take Profit

  • 2*x
  • Close half of the order when the gain is x, TP incresed to 4*x, leave the rest of the order till SL is hit

The system works ok during a trend but I find difficult to stop it when the price is ranging, any suggestion?

I already wrote an EA and can change parameters quickly, however the SuperTrend indicator is really slow to compute during the backtesting

Thanks guyz
