Hi guys, this strategy is for those who trade STIXEX candlesticks. If you are not familiar with STIXEX, it allows you to place trades on whether the next candlestick will be red or green, its that simple. The interesting fact about candlesticks is that in the long run, there are always the same number of green and red candlesticks, regardless if the market is going up or down. So when the number of, for example, green candles rises above the mean (for example there are 55 green candles out of the last 100 candles), this gives us an opportunity to start placing trades on red candles in the anticipation that the number of red/green candles will revert back to the mean (50/50). And that’s what my simple indicator is showing at the moment, there are 55 green candles out of the last 100 candles. So now, every time when new red candle forms, I will place a trade that the next one will also be red. I will trade until I am up by 300% (STIXEX pays fixed 100% payouts on winning trades) or until red/green ratio of the last 100 candles goes back to 50/50 (50 red and 50 green candles out of the last 100). I will keep updating this post, so you can follow me along.

So, it took a while but I reached my goal of 300% profit. After my candle count indicator provided me with a signal to enter, I placed a trade every time red candle formed. I placed a trade not on a price move, but on the color of the next candlestick. So again, every time when red candle formed, I placed a trade that the next candle will also be red. As you can see, I had 12 winning and 9 losing trades, so my success rate was 57.14%, which was enough for me to make 300% profit (not including commissions).

As it always does, after I exited, the ratio of red green candles went back to 50/50.
@coingogo, I do not provide it, when it generates a signal I post it here on tradingview. So if you wish to be updated, you can follow me. Or you can do it manually, but it is time consuming since you have to update your moving indicator with every new candle.

I understand the logic, do you use that regardless of the lenght of the candlesticks? If you have a very long red one, beeing longer then 3 green?

@tamola, The length of the candle is irrelevant to me, all that matters is if its red or green. Just for fun, you can try to count last 1000 candles and see how many of them are red or green, and you will see that the number will be more or less 50/50, regardless of the candle length. In the bull market green candles will more likely be longer then red ones and vice versa, but the number of green/red will be distributed equally.
