Overview
This strategy identifies bullish hammer candlestick patterns and uses the MACD indicator to determine trend direction for trend following trades. During a bull market, go long when a bullish hammer appears while MACD is bullish. Close position when MACD turns bearish.
Strategy Logic
Identify bullish hammer by calculating body-to-range ratio. Use MACD to determine trend direction. When MACD is bullish, go long when a bullish hammer signal appears. Set stop loss and position sizing. Exit when MACD turns bearish.
Advantages
- Bullish hammer recognition is simple and clear
- MACD effectively identifies trend reversals
- Following trends avoids whipsaws
- Simple and straightforward logic, easy to implement
Risks
- Pattern recognition is imperfect, signals can be missed
- MACD trend reversal identification has lag
- Low trade frequency unsuitable for high frequency trading
- Exact reversal points cannot be determined, risks losses
Risks can be mitigated by relaxing pattern criteria, shortening MACD parameters, adding secondary indicators etc.
Enhancements
- Optimize hammer pattern identification rules
- Test different MACD parameter settings
- Consider adding other indicators to determine reversals
- Test robustness across different products
Conclusion
This strategy integrates pattern and indicator analysis for trend determination, enabling steady profits. Further refinements like parameter optimization can make it a practical quant trading strategy.
