Moving Average Price Based Trading Strategy
Overview
The core idea of this strategy is to generate trading signals based on moving average price. It combines three Super Trend indicators with different parameters and offers flexible stop loss settings.
The advantage lies in improving signal accuracy through multiple Super Trend systems and providing adjustable stop loss options.
How The Strategy Works
-
Calculate three Super Trend indicators: the Super Trend lines are calculated based on the product of ATR indicator and price average. When price breaks above the Super Trend line, it is a bullish signal. When price breaks below the line, it is a bearish signal.
-
Use the upper and lower bands of Bollinger Bands to determine if price breaks through. Breaking above upper band signals bullishness. Breaking below lower band signals bearishness.
-
Combine the buy and sell signals from the three Super Trend indicators to determine if criteria are met for long or short entry.
-
Set up various stop loss mechanisms like ATR trailing stop, anchor stop loss, percentage stop loss and pip stop loss for risk management.
-
Judge if to enter positions based on ATR indicator value. This filters out erroneous signals in low volatility environments.
Advantages
-
Combining multiple Super Trend indicators with different parameters improves signal accuracy.
-
Using Bollinger Bands to determine upper/lower band breaks avoids false breaks.
-
Multiple stop loss options provide effective risk control to maximize loss affordability.
-
ATR filters help avoid misleading signals.
Risks
-
Multiple signal criteria may cause missing some good opportunities.
-
Improper stop loss setups can lead to unexpected big losses.
-
Poor BB parameter tuning makes signals lag.
-
Overly strict ATR filters omit too many valid signals.
Enhancement Guidelines
-
Tune ATR period of Super Trend to optimize indicator sensitivity.
-
Test different price average sources as Super Trend input, like WMA.
-
Optimize BB parameters for better trend responsiveness.
-
Adjust ATR filter threshold based on market volatility.
-
Backtest to find optimum stop loss level for highest return.
Conclusion
This strategy filters noises and controls risks to some extent by combining signals from multiple indicators and flexible stop loss mechanisms. Fine tuning parameters can lead to better performance. However, multiple signal criteria may also cause missing opportunities. Generally speaking, this strategy suits medium-long term investment for steady returns.
