QUIET CANDLE

DIARY

What about the others?

ADX, CCI, Supertrend, Heikin Ashi, Parabolic SAR and more.

RESULTConclusion

  • None of the 10 tests was positive after costs.
  • The worst, Heikin Ashi flip, traded 129,167 times for −222.8%. The more a method trades, the more it pays.
  • Changing the indicator's name barely changed the shape of the result.
