Overview

Strategy Logic

Calculate the CMO indicator to determine price trend
Calculate rate of change Var to reflect price change trend
Plot support line based on rate of change
Calculate optimized stop loss lines longStop and shortStop
Generate trading signals when price breaks support line

Advantage Analysis

Use CMO indicator to determine price trend and avoid false breakouts
Support line clearly indicates trend direction
Optimized stop loss locks in more profits
Clear and simple trading signals, easy to follow

Risk Analysis

CMO indicator has lagging effect, may miss price turning points
Breaks of support line may generate false signals
Improper stop loss optimization may lead to larger losses

Risk Solutions:

Adjust CMO parameters properly to reduce lagging
Add more filters with other indicators to avoid false signals
Test to determine suitable stop loss optimization ratio

Optimization Directions

Add more indicators to filter out false signals
AI automated optimization of stop loss range
Auto adjust trading size

Summary

Overall this strategy works well, using support line to clearly determine trend direction. Combined with CMO indicator and optimized stop loss it achieves good results. But there are some risks of false signals, which can be improved by combining more indicators.
