This quantitative trading system uses polynomial regression analysis to identify potential trend reversals for entry signals. It aims to capitalize on momentum in a systematic, rules-based manner.

How it Works

The strategy fits polynomial regression lines to recent high and low prices. It tracks how many recent highs or lows exceed the regression forecast.

If a certain threshold of highs or lows breakout, a buy or sell signal is generated indicating an emerging trend. Stops and targets are set based on input percentages.

Positions are entered when the volatility angle exceeds a minimum to avoid choppy markets. Trades are managed based on the defined risk parameters.

Advantages and Drawbacks

By automating trend signals based on mathematical analysis, the strategy provides an objective approach to discretionary trading. Optimization can improve performance.

However, curve-fitting can lead to overoptimization. As with any technical system, performance depends heavily on market conditions. No strategy replaces prudent risk management.

Careful testing across different timeframes, asset classes and market environments is key to evaluate robustness. No strategy is foolproof, so managing risk is critical.

Overall, quantitative strategies offer a rules-based methodology for identifying potential trades. Blending mathematical and technical techniques can improve timing and risk calibration.
