Overview

This strategy is based on the Supertrend indicator, combined with multiple timeframe market trend analysis, and adopts the oscillation channel method to identify entry opportunities.

Strategy Principle

  • Use the traditional Supertrend indicator to determine the trend direction
  • Add Supertrend of higher timeframe to ensure there is a trend in higher timeframe too
  • Determine the overall trend direction based on the Supertrend indicators of two timeframes
  • Identify specific entry opportunities based on the price breakout of the upper and lower rails of the oscillation channel

Advantage Analysis

  • Multi-timeframe analysis makes trend judgment more reliable
  • Combining high and low timeframes ensures catching the major trend while being able to capture short-term opportunities
  • The oscillation channel setting stops loss points which helps risk control

Risks and Solutions

  • The Supertrend itself has some lagging phenomenon, which may miss trend reversal points
  • The lagging risk can be reduced by optimizing parameters or incorporating other indicators to assist in identifying trend changes

Optimization Directions

  • Optimize Supertrend parameters to reduce lagging
  • Add trend filtering indicators to ensure catching the major trend more accurately
  • Test and select more appropriate stop loss methods

Summary

This strategy integrates multi-timeframe analysis and trend tracking indicators to grasp the major trend while seeking specific entry opportunities. With continuous optimization, it is expected to achieve long-term steady excess returns.
