I've written an alpha stage algorithm to trade the Autochartist technical analysis chartpattern signals provided with a live account through Oanda. It makes API calls and places bracket trades for the resulting signals. Backtesting requires entering your own unique access token provided by Oanda in the algorithim's respective parameter at <enter>.

Tollan Renner, just out of curiosity, how did you made the develop? Did you have an API manual? Or it was just trial an error?

kept only major fxds, removed symbols with higher spreads
added Cfds
Calculate units based on risk,and not assign fixed lots. Patterns with higher propability are granted higher account risks
Only trade patterns with >65% probability
ony trade pattterns with interval lower or equals than 4H
Fixed some .Net code incompatible with .net mono, so I can run on local Mac OS server
The stoploss I changed to 1:1 in risk
I want to download keylevel patterns from autochartist, to create other strategies on horizontal levels, but for whatever reason it is not returning any. do you have any other improvement ideas?
Those are great ideas, Erik, and broadly applicable to the different approaches you could take with the Autochartist patterns. I'm thinking of trying out some additional chartpattern screening with technical indicators, but have been working on a different algo recently. The Oanda Autochartist key levels API you mention is another strategy I'd like to test out in the future. Thanks for sharing and I'm glad you were able to make use of the Autochartist API template I posted!
Awesome work Tollan. I've been meaning to do this as well for a while now, but now that I've found this I decided to register here and follow the project. There's a very good chance this will work in the market place.
What has the results been like on the demo so far ?
Thanks, Elkart Coetzee! I appreciate the enthusiasm. Actually, I haven't worked on this algo recently and mine is still a template in beta testing, though I can find some more time to gather results since it has potential.
I cloned it and tried to run it, but it keeps on getting runtime errors. I see in the code you call v1 which has been deprecated. Is there any possibility of updating it for a V20 account ? I'm not even sure Oanda has a current version of this running in V20. I've been looking for V20 information but the website just goes around in circles. I can't find the inormation, all I get is the V1 has been deprecated page. It might be better to get the Autochartist information directly from Autochartist and not Oanda. But that requires another login. But this is awesome. I'd really love to know if this works or not. Been thinking about it for a while.
