Overview
This strategy enters and exits trades at shifted prices to follow trends.
How it Works
Calculate shifted prices based on previous close’s percentage.
Downward shifted price is buy line, upward shifted price is sell line.
Enter long when price hits buy line.
Exit when price hits sell line.
Advantages
- Auto trailing stop loss/profit take without manual intervention
- Customizable shift percentage for parameter optimization
- Long only reduces trade frequency
- Can limit trading time range
Risks
- Unable to effectively determine trend end
- Time lag, may miss quick reversals
Optimization Directions
- Test different shift percentage parameters
- Optimize incremental setting of parameters
- Incorporate dynamic shifts based on trend
- Consider pyramiding on new highs
Conclusion
The strategy achieves auto trailing profit takes via shifted entry/exit levels. Further improvements through parameter optimization and logic enhancements can improve performance. But whipsaw risks need to be managed. Overall a simple and practical approach for trend following trading.
