/* Strategy example: MACD crossover with ADX trend-strength filter (Wickra C ABI). * * Long-only trend follower. Entries fire when the MACD line crosses above the * signal line while ADX(14) > 20 (a market with at least mild directional * strength); exits on the opposite MACD crossover regardless of ADX. 0.1% fees * per trade. The C counterpart of `examples/rust/src/bin/strategy_macd_adx.rs`. * * The ADX filter is the point: pure MACD on sideways markets chops in and out; * gating entries on directional strength cuts the worst losing streak. * * Educational example. NOT a live trading recommendation. Uses the checked-in * `examples/data/btcusdt-1h.csv` dataset. * * Build (after `cargo build -p wickra-c --release`): * cc examples/c/strategy_macd_adx.c -I bindings/c/include -L target/release -lwickra -lm -o strat_macd */ #define WICKRA_CSV_IMPL #define WICKRA_STRATEGY_IMPL #include "wickra.h" #include "wickra_csv.h" #include "wickra_strategy.h" #include #include #include #ifndef WICKRA_DATA_DIR #define WICKRA_DATA_DIR "../data" #endif #define FEE 0.001 #define ADX_FLOOR 20.0 int main(int argc, char **argv) { const char *path = (argc > 1) ? argv[1] : WICKRA_DATA_DIR "/btcusdt-1h.csv"; WickraBar *candles = NULL; size_t n = wickra_load_csv(path, &candles); if (n == 0) { fprintf(stderr, "CSV is empty: %s\n", path); return 1; } struct MacdIndicator *macd = wickra_macd_indicator_new(12, 26, 9); struct Adx *adx = wickra_adx_new(14); double *trades = (double *)malloc(n * sizeof(*trades)); double *equity_curve = (double *)malloc(n * sizeof(*equity_curve)); if (macd == NULL || adx == NULL || trades == NULL || equity_curve == NULL) { fprintf(stderr, "allocation failed\n"); return 1; } int in_position = 0; double entry_price = 0.0; size_t n_trades = 0; double equity = 1.0; /* Previous histogram sign to detect MACD-line crossovers: -1 unset, 0/1 sign. */ int prev_hist_sign = -1; for (size_t i = 0; i < n; ++i) { const WickraBar *c = &candles[i]; double price = c->close; WickraMacdOutput m; int macd_ready = wickra_macd_indicator_update(macd, price, &m); WickraAdxOutput a; int adx_ready = wickra_adx_update(adx, c->open, c->high, c->low, c->close, c->volume, c->timestamp, &a); equity_curve[i] = in_position ? equity * (price / entry_price) : equity; if (!macd_ready || !adx_ready) { continue; } int hist_sign = m.histogram > 0.0 ? 1 : 0; int cross_up = prev_hist_sign == 0 && hist_sign == 1; int cross_down = prev_hist_sign == 1 && hist_sign == 0; prev_hist_sign = hist_sign; if (!in_position && cross_up && a.adx > ADX_FLOOR) { entry_price = price; equity *= 1.0 - FEE; in_position = 1; } else if (in_position && cross_down) { double trade_ret = price / entry_price - 1.0; trades[n_trades++] = trade_ret; equity *= (1.0 + trade_ret) * (1.0 - FEE); in_position = 0; } } if (in_position) { double trade_ret = candles[n - 1].close / entry_price - 1.0; trades[n_trades++] = trade_ret; equity *= (1.0 + trade_ret) * (1.0 - FEE); } wickra_print_summary("MACD + ADX Trend Filter (1h, BTCUSDT)", candles[0].close, candles[n - 1].close, n, trades, n_trades, equity, equity_curve, n); wickra_macd_indicator_free(macd); wickra_adx_free(adx); free(trades); free(equity_curve); free(candles); return 0; }
