Dynamic Momentum Index Strategy
Strategy Logic
This strategy trades based on the Dynamic Momentum Index (DMI). DMI measures the percentage deviation between price and moving averages of different lengths to determine trend.
The trading logic is:
-
Calculate percentage deviation of price from a long MA (e.g. 200-day) as 1st DMI
-
Calculate deviation from a medium MA (e.g. 50-day) as 2nd DMI
-
Calculate deviation from a short MA (e.g. 20-day) as 3rd DMI
-
When 3rd DMI is higher than 1st DMI, bearish. When 3rd DMI is lower than 2nd DMI, bullish.
-
Trade signals generated based on DMI relationship
By comparing relative strength dynamically across MA periods, DMI aims to identify trend turning points. Parameters can be optimized for different cycles.
Advantages
-
DMI combines multi-period lookback for robustness
-
Compares relative strength vs. absolute levels
-
Flexible MA periods for market adaption
Risks
-
DMI has lag and may miss reversals
-
Careful optimization of period parameters
-
Prone to multiple false signals
Summary
DMI judges turning points by comparing multi-MA period strength dynamics. Optimization can suit different market environments. But lag limitations necessitate additional filters.
