The strategy is named “Detrended Price Oscillator Quantitative Trading Strategy”. It generates trading signals based on the Detrended Price Oscillator indicator, which is a typical technical indicator strategy.
The core of this strategy is the Detrended Price Oscillator (DPO) indicator. DPO is similar to moving average, which can filter out longer-term trends in prices to make cyclical fluctuations more pronounced. Specifically, DPO compares prices with their N-day simple moving average. When the price is above the moving average, DPO is positive; when the price is below the moving average, DPO is negative. This results in an oscillator fluctuating around the 0 axis. We can use the positive/negative of DPO to judge the rise/fall of prices relative to the trend.
This strategy sets the parameter N to 14 and constructs a 14-day DPO indicator. When DPO is positive, a long signal is issued. When DPO is negative, a short signal is issued.
To mitigate risks, optimization can be considered in the following aspects:
Add stop loss mechanisms to control single loss.
Adjust the value of parameter N to find the optimal parameter.
Incorporate trend indicators to avoid trading against significant trends.
This strategy generates trading signals based on the Detrended Price Oscillator indicator. By comparing with moving averages, this indicator filters out long-term trends in prices to make price cyclic characteristics more pronounced. This helps to discover some concealed trading opportunities. At the same time, it also faces problems like parameter sensitivity, filtering, etc. There is still large room for efficacy improvement through continuous optimization.

// The Detrend Price Osc indicator is similar to a moving average,
// in that it filters out trends in prices to more easily identify
// cycles. The indicator is an attempt to define cycles in a trend
// by drawing a moving average as a horizontal straight line and
// placing prices along the line according to their relation to a
// moving average. It provides a means of identifying underlying
// cycles not apparent when the moving average is viewed within a
// price chart. Cycles of a longer duration than the Length (number
// of bars used to calculate the Detrend Price Osc) are effectively
// filtered or removed by the oscillator.
//
// You can change long to short in the Input Settings
// Please, use it only for learning or paper trading. Do not for real trading.
