Trading strategy (SAR + MACD + STOCH)

Hi!

Just registered to share my strategy. I'm not a goblin, so I felt I wanted to share this. ;)
It's a simple strategy that follow strong trends but also gets it's claws on the swings inside.
You might want to test it out thoroughly before investing.

Timeframes: >=30 min
Indicators:
- SAR (0.012, 0.175)
- MACD (10, 24, 9)
- FULL STOCH (21, 9, 9)

Entry rules for long:
SAR is below close, MACD above it's signal (historic > 0), STOCH %K above it's %D. ALL of these must be valid before entering.

Entry rules for short:
SAR is above close, MACD below it's signal (historic < 0), STOCH %K below it's %D. ALL of these too must be valid before entering.


Pretty simple and annually rewarding. Did some backtesting with this and got nice returns, but you still want to monitor it or at least have a stop-loss.
I used a simple rule-set for a stop-loss which has 3% space for small swings:
- When entering long, set stop-loss to 3% below your buy price. If prices go up, you move your stop-loss up the same rate (but 3% below it). NEVER bring it back down during long position.
- When entering short, set stop-loss to 3% above your buy price. If prices go down, you move your stop-loss down the same rate (but 3% above it). NEVER bring it back up during short position.


Good luck and great pips.
