A. Aldrovandi

I wrote the code below a couple of years ago tickled by Alessandro Aldrovandi who uses this strategy for his discretionary trading Supertrend and vWap together with teaching purpose forming a new “recipe” baptized by Alessandro “Supervolume” where entries are given by Supertrend and exits from vWap to which a stop profit exit is added after 5 bars from the entry.
You can see the gross equity line on the left and the net equity line (commissions and slippage included) on the right.
We include the tests carried out at the time (in 2013) on the Dax30 futures at 60 minutes (eSignal data), also showing the difference between the equity line without considering slippage and th equity line with 35 € slippage + trade commissions.
As always, the spirit of these articles is not to provide a ready-to-use formula but a search and study base for advanced enthusiasts, neophytes and traders. There are many improvements that can be made to this strategy but sensitivity and experience are needed …
Good study and good trading !!
