How does the ichimoku Masters Backtester Light strategy work ?
The Ichimoku Masters Backtester Light is a configurable indicator allowing traders to create bespoke strategies. You will select entry points in the "Static Enter" Section, while the "Enter Candle" section refines entry conditions with 14 distinct checkboxes, like candle size and color, and Ichimoku line criteria. Positions are opened based on the chosen options, and backtesting results are displayed.
The "Open Section" defines entry triggers, such as simultaneous Ichimoku cloud, conversion, and base line crosses, or breaks of pre-defined Ichimoku boxes over 26 or 52 periods. The "Box Section" outlines how and where these boxes are set, influenced by factors like conversion and base line crosses over various timeframes.
Exit strategies are defined in the "Static Exit (SL & TP)" section where you can select from six stop loss options and target profits based on fixed multiples or logarithmic scaling. The "Multiple Enter" and "Multiple Exit" sections allow for complex order layering and step exits based on the proportion of a box and equity percentage.
Risk-free trades can be implemented using the RF settings, adjusting stop placement to the opening candle once a box target is reached. Finally, "Ichi Numbers" customize Ichimoku settings, while "Visual Settings" enable you to visualize elements like the cloud, conversion line, and more on your chart.
