Seasonal QQE Strategy for Hourly DAX CFDs

Summary

The document describes a multi-day strategy for DAX contracts for difference using hourly signals. A QQE indicator supplies long and short triggers, while a Universal indicator acts as a directional filter. Separate month-specific multipliers scale long and short positions, and the rules include indicator-based exits, trailing stops, a time-based loss exit for shorts, and fixed stop-loss and profit-target settings. The post attributes the seasonal optimization idea to Reiner and notes that the strategy depends on three modified technical indicators.

It reports a historical test on a one-euro mini DAX instrument with a stated spread, over a period beginning in 2006 and ending in 2016. No performance metrics or robustness checks are supplied in the text. The strategy is therefore difficult to assess: the seasonal multipliers may be sample-specific, and the stated test does not establish out-of-sample performance, realistic execution, or current effectiveness.

Key ideas

• The strategy trades DAX CFDs on an hourly timeframe using QQE signals and a Universal indicator filter.
• Month-specific long and short multipliers adjust position size according to seasonality.
• Trade management combines indicator exits, trailing stops, and fixed loss and profit levels.
• The post reports a historical test period and spread but gives no performance statistics or robustness analysis.
• The approach relies on three modified indicators whose definitions are not included in the description.
