The main idea of this strategy is to detect multiple common candlestick patterns simultaneously, including hammer, morning star and [10] other patterns. When these patterns are detected, it is judged as a price reversal signal to make corresponding buy or sell operations.

Strategy Principle

The main principles of this strategy are:

  1. Use candlestick patterns to judge price trends and key reversal points. Candlestick charts can clearly display the open, close, highest and lowest prices, from which many important price patterns can be identified to judge price trends and key reversal points.

  2. Judge multiple candlestick patterns simultaneously. Any single candlestick pattern may have misjudgements, so this strategy comprehensively judges more than 10 patterns including morning star, evening star, etc. to improve judgement accuracy.

  3. Determine long and short directions based on pattern types. After identifying different candlestick patterns, corresponding long or short signals are generated according to their bullish or bearish implications.

Specifically, this strategy mainly runs according to the following process:

  1. Input parameters: First input some parameters to judge candlestick patterns, such as threshold values for the size of the real body and shadow.

  2. Trend judgement: Calculate the SMAs of different cycles to judge whether the overall price is in an upward or downward trend, which is very important for interpreting the meaning of candlestick patterns.

  3. Candlestick pattern scanning: Scan the data to determine whether bullish patterns (such as morning star, hammer, etc.) or bearish patterns (such as evening star, hanging man, etc.) appear.

  4. Trading signals: When bullish patterns appear, long signals are generated; when bearish patterns appear, short signals are generated.

  5. Position management: Set stop loss position to control risks.

Strategy Advantages

The main advantages of this strategy are:

  1. Accurately judge key price points using candlestick patterns;

  2. Improve judgment accuracy and reduce misjudgements by combining multiple candlestick patterns;

  3. Automatically scan patterns and quickly capture trading opportunities;

  4. Convenient to optimize parameters to improve profitability.

Strategy Risks

There are also some risks with this strategy:

  1. There are misjudgement risks with single candlestick patterns, requiring combination judgements to reduce;

  2. Extreme market volatility that causes huge losses cannot be completely avoided;

  3. Input parameters need to be optimized for the best trading results.

The countermeasures are:

  1. Use combined judgements of multiple candlestick patterns to reduce misjudgement probability;

  2. Set stop loss position to strictly control the size of single losses;

  3. Test impacts of different parameters on trading results comprehensively, and optimize parameters to reduce losses and increase returns.

Strategy Optimization Directions

The main optimization directions for this strategy are:

  1. Increase or reduce the types of candlestick patterns to judge. Patterns that have more misjudgements can be removed while patterns that are newly added and perform well can be kept.

  2. Optimize the threshold values of candlestick pattern parameters. Test modifying the parameters for real body and shadow to find the optimal judgement threshold values.

  3. Optimize stop loss position. Test different stop loss positions to find the optimal point that maximally reduces single losses.

  4. Test different indicators to judge price trends, such as SMA, EMA etc.

  5. Add parameter combination optimization functions. Build parameter space to automatically test trading results under different parameter combinations.

Through the above optimization directions, the trading performance of the strategy can be continuously improved.

Summary

This strategy comprehensively judges multiple candlestick patterns, automatically scans price data, utilizes different patterns to judge price trends and key reversal points, and makes profits via long and short operations. It reacts sensitively and can quickly capture trading opportunities with high degree of automation. Easy to use, it is an efficient quantitative trading strategy.

This strategy can be further enhanced by adjusting determination patterns and parameters, optimizing stop loss points and improving trend determination indicators. It is an effective quantitative strategy worth continuous modifications and long term usage.
