Donchian Breakout

How this strategy trades, what it scored, and the measurements the score was read from — every symbol and timeframe, on real and resampled history.

  1. Track the highest and lowest close of the previous 20 bars — the Donchian channel.
  2. Buy when today's close beats the 20-bar high: price has just done something it hasn't managed in the whole window, often the start of a trend.
  3. Sell when the close falls below the 20-bar low, handing the trend back once the range breaks the other way.
