Overview

This strategy combines the 5-day moving average channel and the mileage concept buy and sell signals to achieve both channel breakout and short-term trading functionalities. It first calculates the 5-day moving averages of highest high and lowest low as the channel bands, and then determines the entry and exit based on the channel breakout signals and mileage concept candlestick patterns.

Strategy Logic

  1. Calculate 5-day moving averages of highest high and lowest low as the upper and lower channel bands
  2. Generate buy signal when closing price crosses above the upper band
  3. Generate sell signal when closing price crosses below the lower band
  4. Combine with mileage concept patterns to determine if price action matches buy/sell features
    • Buy feature: Close > Open, High – Close < Close – Open, Open – Low < Close - Open
    • Sell feature: Open – Close > Previous Open – Close for 3 consecutive candles
  5. Final buy condition = Channel breakout signal AND Mileage buy pattern
  6. Final sell condition = Channel breakout signal AND Mileage sell pattern

Advantage Analysis

  1. Combines channel breakout and mileage concept strategies for multi-layer confirmation, avoiding false signals
  2. Channel breakout captures intermediate-term trends
  3. Mileage concept identifies short-term reversal opportunities
  4. Simple parameters easy to adjust for different market environments

Risk Analysis

  1. Whipsaws may generate false signals when price fluctuates violently within channel
  2. Inaccurate mileage concept pattern recognition may lead to premature entry or insufficient exit
  3. Improper parameter tuning impacts signal quality

Optimization Directions

  1. Test different parameter sets to find optimal channel bands
  2. Try different channel periods to see if shorter or longer durations perform better
  3. Optimize mileage concept rules to filter out noise
  4. Consider adding stop loss to control single trade loss

Conclusion

This strategy synthesizes channel breakout and mileage concept short-term trading, achieving multi-layer confirmation and risk control. Further optimizations may improve strategy performance. Note that parameter tuning and risk management significantly impact results, requiring thorough testing and validation.
