Overview

This strategy is a trend tracking strategy driven by a multi-factor model with adaptive trailing stoploss. It incorporates multiple indicators like RSI, MACD, Stochastics to build a multi-factor model to determine the trend direction. Meanwhile, it features an adaptive trailing stoploss mechanism that dynamically adjusts stoploss price based on ATR to realize risk control.

Principles

This strategy leverages multiple indicators to build a model for judging trend. Firstly, it combines RSI and MACD to determine trend direction; then it uses Stochastics to filter excessively overbought or oversold signals. After entering orders, it utilizes ATR to calculate risk parameter and implement adaptive stoploss.

Specifically, it generates buy signal when RSI is above 52 and MACD golden cross happens; it generates sell signal when RSI is below 48 and MACD dead cross occurs. To filter fake signals, it also detects whether Stochastics is overbought or oversold. For stoploss, it calculates parameter based on ATR to realize adaptive stoploss, which can effectively control single stoploss risk.

Advantages

The biggest advantage of this strategy lies in its strong risk control capability. By judging trend direction with multi-factor model, it can filter some noise and improve signal quality. Meanwhile, the adaptive stoploss mechanism can adjust stoploss range based on market volatility to effectively control single loss.

In addition, parameters of this strategy are reasonably set with good backtesting results. Different cycle assets can achieve optimization through parameter tuning. It can fit more market environments through parameter optimization.

Risks

The main risk of this strategy is the quality of multi-factor model construction. If the model fails to effectively determine the trend, it would generate massive fake signals. Also, stoploss strategies inherently bear the risk of being hunted.

To mitigate these risks, improvements can be made from aspects like adjusting model weight, optimizing parameter settings, combining with other stoploss strategies. Manual intervention is also necessary when abnormal market occurs.

Optimization Directions

This strategy can be optimized from the following aspects:

Adjust weights of indicators in the multi-factor model to find optimal combination
Test more indicators like CCI, volatility etc to enrich the multi-factor model
Optimize parameter settings to fit more products and cycles
Try different stoploss strategies to find optimal combination
Add model training and strategy assessment modules to enable machine learning drive

Summary

This strategy integrates multi-factor model and adaptive stoploss mechanism to achieve organic combination of trend judgment and risk control. It has good backtesting results and scalability. With continuous optimization, it can become a quantitative strategy worthwhile for long term holding.

// While @Yo_adriiiiaan mentions it works best on a 4-hour timeframe or above, 
// I am  happy to share here this working on a 15-minute chart on e-mini S&P 500 Index (using the KeyValue setting at 10)
// I am sure different people would discover different settings that work best for their preferred instrumnet/timeframe etc. 
// Play with it and enjoy! And, don't forget to share any positive results you might get! Good luck with your trading!
