The Trend Catcher Strategy is a strategy that detects trend formations using its own unique method and opens positions in the direction of the trend. It calculates a percentage value called the “limit” by dividing the difference between the highest and lowest prices in a certain range by the sum of the lengths of the candles in that range. The closer this value is to 100, the stronger the trend. When this value exceeds a set limit and the moving average is rising, the strategy opens a long position; when this value exceeds a set limit and the moving average is falling, the strategy opens a short position. After opening a position, the strategy closes a part of the position when the price reaches a certain level and moves the remaining position to a point where it believes the trend is over.
The Trend Catcher Strategy uses a unique method to detect trend formations and opens positions in the direction of the trend. It calculates the limit value to determine the strength of the trend and uses the crossing of the moving average to determine the end of the trend. The strategy controls risk by closing a part of the position and moving the stop loss level after opening a position. However, the strategy may face certain risks when opening positions at the beginning of the trend, using fixed take profit and stop loss levels may not be flexible enough, and only using the moving average to determine trends may miss some opportunities. In the future, we can consider introducing other indicators, dynamically adjusting take profit and stop loss levels, and opening positions only after the trend is confirmed to optimize the strategy.
