Overview
This strategy uses the trend judging indicator ADX and moving averages to determine and track trends. When a trend reversal is identified, it uses breakout operations for short-term trading.
Strategy Logic
- Use ADX to judge the trend direction. ADX above 20 indicates a trending market.
- Use EMA crossovers to determine uptrends and downtrends. Golden cross for uptrend and death cross for downtrend.
- Use VWAP as an important reference price level. Price above VWAP indicates bullish sentiment and below indicates bearish sentiment.
- Enter positions based on the comprehensive trend analysis from the indicators when a trend reversal is identified. Track the new trend using short-term trading.
Advantage Analysis
