There are just so many effective trading-signal combinations for Bitcoin, and here is another one! 6 signals are involved in entry conditions. Each is actually what traders commonly use in live trading, but, together they are not very effective until being optimized. Similar to Part 10, Part 9, the exit conditions are mostly simple trading rules.
In the result section, you can easily see the significance of the parameter optimization phase. The winning rate, as well as the magnitude of each winning trade, improves a lot. Sharp ratio even doubles! I think this is a good trading-signal combination to put in living trading!
