Germany 30 Strategy Using Moving-Average Trend, Momentum, and RSI

Article ProRealCode

Summary

This intraday Germany 30 strategy combines the direction of a 20-period moving average with 12-period momentum and a 20-period RSI. It opens long positions when price is above the average, momentum is rising across recent readings, and RSI crosses above 70. It opens short positions when price is below the average, momentum is falling, and RSI crosses below 30. Exit conditions use RSI thresholds or a change in moving-average direction, with fixed stop-loss and profit-target settings. The code also limits trading hours and disables order accumulation.

The author reports testing the rules on 100,000 bars and asks for a longer test, but provides no performance metrics or market conditions for evaluating the result. Although presented as used with real money, this is not evidence of robustness. The entry logic treats RSI threshold crosses as trend-confirmation triggers, so results may depend heavily on instrument behavior, bar size, execution costs, and the specified thresholds. The document describes a concrete rule set, not a complete validation or risk assessment.
