Trendfollowing strategy working on the 2 min timeframe on US Tech 100. Optimized for 70% of the bars (IS) and 30% of the bars (OOS). Walk-forward tested with good WF-efficiency.  The algo has been running live for a couple of months. 
 
As it is a trendfollowing strategy you will not see hitting the perfect bottom or the perfect top, but you will see trades taking big profits following big movements within the trend.

The name Prime comes from the mathematical term; to denote variable names in the optimization process. Vague but still a clue to the characteristics of the hidden code.
​
Introduction
Our first algo type is called Prime and is based on a trendfollowing strategy. It's our most simple strategies in terms of code complexity  but still very effective. The conditions and parameters used in in this strategy are universal meaning that an algo that has been developed for one market may very well work good on a couple of other markets too. That, in our opinion together with the strong Out-of-sample periods, tells us that the fundamentals of the strategy is very strong.
 
Characteristics
As with most trendfollowing strategy, it uses a medium to large stoploss, meaning that the you will see a high winrate (around 80%) but you will not see the algo hitting the perfect bottom or the perfect top. The trades you will see are following big movements within the current trend. 
 
All prime algos have been developed with 20-30% In-Sample period and 60-70% Out-of-sample period ensuring that the algos are not overly optimized.
