Short
BITSTAMP:BTCUSD   Bitcoin
Short position from $18,180 is in a loss of $270 (-1.4%) however still an open short
There is a sharp divergence on all oscillators at this point, so let's see, finger crossed!
MAX DrawDown was at ~37%
Success Rate for Short: 63%
Last Trade Profit: +95%
Sharpe Ratio: 0.29

Notes: Sharpe ratio is low so this is considered a risky strategy, however I'm not concerned about sharpe ratio, because I'm still validating the technical analysis behind it, so this should be a very basic verification for the setup if it actually works! :)
I've been validating this version since Feb 2019

In chart
- Oscillators chart
This allows you to combine 5 differential oscillators in one chart -
- Duot oscillator
Mcguinly moving average of the 5 normalized oscillators and william's vix fix bars, the 3 waves are customisable smoothed McG averages.
- Duot strategy
Instead of trading individual oscillators it smooths decisions by averaging the 5 oscillators into one, we found that gives higher success rate than trading individual oscillators. this is based on the idea that most traders will actually use 2-3 of these oscillators manually and their decisions will always be maximums or minimums of a subset of these oscillators. So argument is trading their average would give slightly better and smoothed out results. as you can see the final oscillators have fewer rectified smooth cycles visible in their combined average.
The main decision point is divergence of the price line trend from the average oscillator, this indicate lag in price response, accompanied by a confirmation with wiliam's vix fix,
