GKD-E Fisher Transform [Loxx]

2023년 1월 21일

Giga Kaleidoscope Fisher Transform Exit is an Exit module included in Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System".

What is Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System"?

The Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System is a trading system built on the philosophy of the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) algorithmic trading.

What is an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy?

The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility. There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:

1. Volatility - price volatility; e.g., Average True Range, True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend (such as "Baseline" shown on the chart above)
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends. This should agree with the "Baseline"
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends. This filters/verifies the trend identified by "Baseline" and "Confirmation 1"
5. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown.
6. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted.

How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?

Loxx's GKD v1.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:

1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 module (Confirmation 1/2, Numbers 3 and 4 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)

(additional module types will added in future releases)

Each module interacts with every module by passing data between modules. Data is passed between each module as described below:

GKD-B => GKD-V => GKD-C(1) => GKD-C(2) => GKD-E => GKD-BT

That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.

This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.

What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?

Example trading system:

• Backtest: Strategy with 1-3 take profits, trailing stop loss, multiple types of PnL volatility, and 2 backtesting styles
  
• Baseline: Hull Moving Average
  
• Volatility/Volume: Volatility Ratio
  
• Confirmation 1: Vortex
  
• Confirmation 2: Fisher Transform
  
• Exit: Fisher Transform as shown on the chart above
  

Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD protocol chain.

Now that you have a general understanding of the NNFX algorithm and the GKD trading system. Let's go over what's inside the GKD-E Fisher Transform itself.

What is Fisher Transform?
The Fisher Transform is a technical indicator created by John F. Ehlers that converts prices into a Gaussian normal distribution. The indicator highlights when prices have moved to an extreme, based on recent prices. This may help in spotting turning points in the price of an asset.

What's different in this version?
This version also includes Loxx's Exotic Source Types. You can read about these sources here:

Exit signals
Exit Long type 1: Fisher is above zero and crosses down under the Fisher signal
Exit Long type 2: Fisher is above overbought level and crosses down the Fisher signal
Exit Short type 1: Fisher is below zero and crosses up over the Fisher signal
Exit Short type 2: Fisher is below oversold level and crosses up over the Fisher signal

Requirements
Input: Any Confirmation 2 indicator
Output: Export to "GKD-BT Backtest"

Other things to note
A GKD Exit indicator is required to complete the GKD trading system chain, but you are not requried to activate the Exits. You can turn on/off the exits inside this indicator, but an exit indiator is sitll required to be present in the GKD protocol chain.

Additional features will be added in future releases.

This indicator is only available to ALGX Trading VIP group members . You can see the Author's Instructions below to get more information on how to get access.
