Overview

Strategy Logic

Calculate Heiken Ashi close price and plot Ichimoku indicators like conversion line, base line etc. Go long when close is higher than previous two days and above Ichimoku top edge and lagging line. Go short when close is lower than previous two days and below Ichimoku bottom edge and lagging line. Conversion and base line crosses also provide secondary signals.

Advantages

Heiken Ashi filters false breakouts improving signal quality
Ichimoku uses multiple validating signals
Lagging line avoids whipsaws ensuring profit taking
Following the trend leads to longer holding and bigger profits

Risks

Heiken Ashi smoothing cannot be perfectly optimized
Ichimoku parameters significantly impact results
Long holding risks increasing losses
Lower trade frequency unsuitable for short term

Risks can be controlled by adjusting smoothness, holding period, optimizing Ichimoku parameters etc.

Enhancements

Test different Heiken Ashi smoothing parameters
Optimize Ichimoku period parameters
Strategize re-entry rules after exit
Test robustness across different products

Conclusion

This strategy comprehensively uses multiple indicators to determine trend direction with controlled drawdowns. Performance can be further improved via tuning parameters etc.
