-----Description of the Trading System BALIAN-----

The Trading System BALIAN places trades both long and short. Trades can be opened and closed at any time during the session and can be held overnight into the next session. Trades are scaled into with up to 2 entries but are closed with one single order. A long trade can be directly swinged into a short trade and vice versa.

The Trading System BALIAN works on the basis of waiting for the price to move below the Long (above the Short) Entry Trigger Level, where it then searches for a Long (Short) entry. The Entry Trigger Levels are derived via Pivot Points and S/R Levels.
Once a position is entered, one of 4 scenarios can play out:

• SL is being hit. The trade is exited
  
• TP is being hit. The trade is exited
  
• A second position in the same direction is entered
  
• An opposing entry signal is generated. The trade is swinged in the opposite direction
  

-----Settings of the Trading System BALIAN-----

The Trading System BALIAN generates buy and sell signals based on our proprietary Trading Framework consisting of many parameters. The Parameters are structured into the following groups.

• Account Parameters
  
• Long Entry, SL, TP
  
• Long Optimisation
  
• Long Filter
  
• Short Entry, SL, TP
  
• Short Optimisation
  
• Short Filter
  
• Long/Short Optimisation
  

The parameters are either price/indicator-based, %-based or length-based (number of historic bars).

Here is an overview of the Parameters used. Further parameters may be added in future versions or parameters may be removed from future versions.

• Leverage
  
• Limit Risk
  
• Risk Amount %
  
• Trade Amount %
  
• Reduce Tradeamount on losing trade
  
• Trade Amount Reduction %
  
• #Trade Amount Reductions
  
• Compound Returns
  
• Protect Profits
  
• Maximum Time (Candles) in Trade
  
  
• Long/Short Entry Trigger Level
  
• Long/Short Entry Trigger %
  
• Long/Short SL Level
  
• Long/Short SL %
  
• Minimum Distance to SL Long/Short
  
• Long/Short TP Level
  
• Long/Short TP %
  
  
• Long/Short Protect Profits
  
  
• Long/Short Entry Filter 1
  
• Maximum Pivot Gap Long/Short
  
  
• Volatility Restriction
  
• GRI Length
  
• GRI Threshold Short to Long Entry Filter
  
• GRI Threshold Long to Short Entry Filter
  

For the Parameters Long/Short Entry Trigger Level, Long/Short SL Level and Long/Short TP Level Pivot Points and Levels, as well as the Daily Open Price and the Position Entry Price are being used. For the Pivot Points and Levels, the following Pivot Types are used: Camarilla, Woodie, DM and Fibonacci. Pivot Mid Points, as well as Support & Resistance Points, are used: S1/R1, S2/R2, and S3/R3 for Camarilla and Fibonacci. S1/R1 for DM. S1/R1, S2/R2, S3/R3 and S4/R4 for Woodie.

Additionally, the distance between Pivot Mid-Points is measured, which is used to derive long/short entry filters that construct the parameters Long/Short Entry Filter 1 and Maximum Pivot GAP Long/Short. The following distances are measured: DM-Woodie, DM-Camarilla and Woodie-Camarilla.

The GRI is a proprietary indicator that counts how many green and red candles were in the last n candles and calculates the green candles as a % of all n candles. It is then used as a restriction to prevent long positions to be swinged into short positions and vice versa.

The Trading System BALIAN is optimised for the symbol BTCBUSD Perpetual Futures (Binance), 15 minutes Interval, with its default parameter settings. However, the Trading System can be applied to a wide variety of markets by evaluating new optimum parameter values for each market.

Optimum parameter values for a given market are derived utilising a statistical research platform on which trillions of different parameter settings are calculated and applied to a market.
