Romeo & Juliet

Hi all… i want to show you my trading journal with my strategy, i name it “Romeo & Juliet”.

Details about it you can see in my thread, in “Holy Grails”.

Time frame i use is M15.

If i say Romeo, it refers to Black Bold line - this is SMA 4.

If i say Juliet, it refers to Bollinger Band. In here am using 2 bands, BB 60 ( the red ) and BB 160 ( the blue ), with sd +/-2.

Above numbers i used is based on my backtesting result, which can give 2383 pips ( for bb 60 ) and 1250 pips for bb 160 with 100% profit !!!.

Lets start…

Note : my maximum volume is 1 lot, and am using micro.

Price touch the upper Juliet, so i’ll start to jump, but not full because Romeo still below upper Juliet.

Sell - 0.1 lot - 1.3388


Now there were 3 position sell have been placed :

Pos 1 : Sell - 0.1 lot - 1.3388
Pos 2 : Sell - 0.1 lot - 1.3398
Pos 3 : Sell - 0.1 lot - 1.3408

PT placed at 1.3371


hi, arvi:
can you explain what your rationale is for opening multiple positions? For the 2nd and 3rd positions in post #2, Romeo didn’t cross Juliet, Did it?
Thx for your time!

Romeo just crossed Juliet on 1.3389 so i close all position on 1.3389.

Pos 1 : -1
Pos 2 : +9
Pos 3 : +19
Total Day 1 : +27


Hehehe…it is because i wanna go sleep so i put sell limit at the upper juliet and for every +10 pips from it, cause i dont wanna lose the opportunity :slight_smile:

Hi… i ad another Juliet to see the trend, now i have :
ROMEO : SMA 4

JULIET 1 : BB 60 - RED, its represent the short term trend

JULIET 2 : BB 100 - GREEN, its represent the mid term trend

JULIET 3 : BB 160 - BLUE, its represent the long term trend

If juliet 1 > juliet 2 > juliet 3 it means strong up trend

If juliet 1< juliet 2 < juliet 3 it means strong down trend

Picture attached, now we still wait…


How many trade setup do you find in a day? How many pairs do you trade?

Based on back tested, in 5 months there will be around 97 signal, 70 signal win and 20 signal lose.

So it means 0.9 open position per day, thanks.

Hi Arvi,

I really like Your idea, its seem`s to be a really simpel and clean system. I am definitely gonna try it out. I already did some manual backtest and going to continue with that.
So some questions:

1.SL- do You use any?
(I add fractals on the chart, and put the SL above the last highest fractal before the SMA break back inside the Bollinger)
2.Have You dry the other pairs?
( I belive it can do well on most of the majors)
3. how to You use the biger bollingers (100,160), just to confirm the overal trend or for the setups also?
4. Just to make sure I understand You right, the SMA have to cross out of the band first to be valid signal and then close inside the band to take the trade, right?
5.For the TP, do You let the price close or you will took the profit right after the price cross the middle band?

Thank You so much for the answers.

See…even in the little swing it still works… 10 pips is enough…

Red circle : sell, romeo crossed down upper juliet 1

Blue circle : close, romeo crossed down midle juliet 1

Total Day 2 : +10


[QUOTE=“Zmilko”]Hi Arvi,

I really like Your idea, its seem`s to be a really simpel and clean system. I am definitely gonna try it out. I already did some manual backtest and going to continue with that.
So some questions:

1.SL- do You use any?
(I add fractals on the chart, and put the SL above the last highest fractal before the SMA break back inside the Bollinger) -> I dont use SL, close position only applied when romeo crossed down midle juliet or romeo back to crossed up upper / crossed down lower juliet.

2.Have You try the other pairs?
( I belive it can do well on most of the majors) -> Not yet, currently i only try this on eurusd.

  1. how to You use the biger bollingers (100,160), just to confirm the overal trend or for the setups also? -> I also use BB 100 & 160 as a signal, besides as trend indicator.

  2. Just to make sure I understand You right, the SMA have to cross out of the band first to be valid signal and then close inside the band to take the trade, right? -> Right. But sometimes i put pending execution at the upper / lower juliet, only 10% from my power - means 0.1 lot, and add 10% for every +10 pips from it until 10 times, because my full power is only 1 lor.

5.For the TP, do You let the price close or you will took the profit right after the price cross the middle band? -> i’ll take profit only half when price cross the middle and the rest after the romeo cross the midle juliet.

Thank You so much for the answer.
-> you are welcome :slight_smile:
