Overview

This strategy combines various technical analysis tools such as moving averages, volatility indicators, volume weighted average price (VWAP) and parabolic SAR stop loss to implement a hybrid Turtle trading strategy with strong breakout identification and stop loss protection capabilities.

Strategy Logic

Use SMA combos of different periods to determine trend direction and potential breakout points
Apply Bollinger Bands based on volatility to identify short-term overbought/oversold situations
Utilize VWAP to determine mid-long term fair value price range
Parabolic SAR as stop loss indicator to cut losses
Turtle trading rules to generate trading signals

Advantage Analysis

More comprehensive judgment with integration of multiple indicators, more accurate signals
VWAP helps determine reasonable price range, avoid chasing highs blindly
SAR stop loss effectively controls loss for each position
Turtle trading rules ensure proper entry timing

Risk Analysis

Improper parameter settings may lead to too high trading frequency or signal misjudgment
Single stop loss method limits profit potential
Turtle signals need proper filtration to avoid conflicts

Optimization Directions

Fine tune SMA periods for better breakout identification
Adjust volatility parameters to make Bollinger Bands adhere closer to prices
Optimize parabolic parameters for more precise stop loss
Add other indicators to filter Turtle signals

Conclusion

This strategy forms a relatively accurate signaling, strong stop loss capability, and highly optimizable breakout style Turtle strategy through seamless integration of multiple indicators. With proper parameter tuning, its breakout identification and stop loss protection abilities can be further enhanced, making it a recommended quantitative trading strategy.
