Guppy and Darvas Combo modules - how they work together in OmniTrader                                                                              

This duo strategy is a  combination of a breakout via Darvas and a confirmation of trend via Guppy.

The conditions which need to be satisfied to go long on a breakout trend up  are..

  • [Slide 1] The share has to break out via Darvas Box first and The Gams Osc at the bottom – has to be green at the same time - meaning it has passed the filter  – so even if blue moving average line (traders) is above red moving average line (investors) this filter has to be passed before a signal fires as well. [The Gams Osc is the test which checks for the guppy moving averages]. The vote line only fires when all conditions are met at the same time - if Darvas did not fire then this strategy will not fire

  • [Slide 2] Each strategy has a series of tests which is must pass

  • [Slide 3] The three related Guppy and Darvas strategies use multiple systems to determine if the vote should be fired (of course you can use each strategy in isolation if you wish)

Slide 1  - showing FMG with Guppy-Darvas strategy - the  signal has fired on break out of the Darvas Box and Gams test has also passed
 
Slide 2 -  The Strategy Module - determines how the systems are voted - each signal is run via  series of tests and filters to determine if an order is placed  - here is part of the module which you can view and edit - this shows just the systems part of the Guppy-Darvas strategy module
Note that you can set the option to fire buys/longs only
 
Slide 3-  The following vote line example is for PDN - it show 3 different but related strategies - Darvas, GMMA, and the Guppy-Darvas combo (all are activated) - you will note that the votes are firing at different times. This is because each strategy is using a different set of trading systems. Each can be examined as shown in the above slide.
As user it is important that you decide which strategy is the most profitable for you - this is often done by using back testing  or the hot strategy finder module
