Momentum Finding Strategy

Overview

This strategy uses multiple indicators such as Bollinger Bands, KC channels, and candlestick colors to determine market squeezes and releases, and combines establishment trend judgments based on moving averages to make transactions when trend reversals occur.

Strategy Principle

1. Calculate Bollinger Bands. The middle rail of Bollinger Bands is the simple moving average of N-day closing prices, the upper rail is the middle rail + M times the N-day true range volatility of the KC channel, and the lower rail is the middle rail - M times the N-day true range volatility of the KC channel.

2. Calculate the KC channel. The middle rail of the KC channel is the simple moving average of N-day closing prices, the upper rail is the middle rail + M times the N-day true range volatility, and the lower rail is the middle rail - M times the N-day true range volatility.

3. Judge squeeze and release. When the Bollinger Band upper rail is below the KC channel upper rail and the Bollinger Band lower rail is above the KC channel lower rail, it is a squeeze. When the Bollinger Band upper rail is above the KC channel upper rail and the Bollinger Band lower rail is below the KC The channel lower rail is released.

4. Calculate the establishment trend. Take the N-day closing price-average of the highest and lowest prices of N days as input, calculate the N-day linear regression, and its value greater than 0 indicates an upward establishment trend, and less than 0 indicates establishment downward trend.

5. Trading signals. When the establishment is rising, short yang lines and releases are long signals; when the establishment is falling, short yin lines and squeezes are short signals.

Strategy Advantages

1. Multi-indicator judgment improves signal accuracy. Combining Bollinger Bands, KC channels and candlesticks to judge market trends avoids false signals.

2. Establishment trend judgment, trade according to the trend. Use establishment to determine the main trend and avoid trading against the trend.

3. Automatic stop loss to control risks. When the price touches the stop loss line, automatically close the position to stop loss.

Strategy Risks

1. Improper parameter settings for Bollinger Bands and KC channels may result in erroneous judgments of squeezes and releases.

2. The establishment trend judgment lags, which may miss trend reversal points.

3. Sudden events cause huge moves that cannot be stopped, with considerable loss risks.

Optimization methods: Adjust Bollinger Band and KC channel parameters, use ADX and other indicators to assist in judging; Update the establishment moving average cycle in time to reduce lag; Add a buffer zone when setting the stop loss line.

Strategy Optimization Directions

1. Combine more technical indicators to improve the accuracy of opening positions signals. Such as KDJ, MACD, etc.

2. Optimize the cycle parameters of the establishment moving average to make it better capture new trends.

3. Add trading volume indicators to avoid false breakouts. Such as Energy tide indicator, Accumulation/Distribution, etc.

4. Multi-timeframe judgments distinguish between medium-and-long-term and short-term signals. Avoid being trapped.

5. AI ​​optimization parameters, exhaustive search and optimal parameter combination searched. Reduce overfitting.

Summary

The main idea of ​​this strategy is: using Bollinger Bands to determine the compression and release of the market; auxiliary use establishment trend to determine the main trend direction; operate in the opposite direction of the establishment at the turning point of compression and release. The advantages of the strategy are accurate signals, stop losses, and avoiding false signals. The directions for optimizing the strategy include: multi-indicator combinations, trend judgment parameter optimization, adding momentum indicators, multi-timeframe judgments, AI ​​search optimization, etc. Overall, this strategy is based on the self-similarity and periodic operation rules of the market, depicting the rhythm changes of the market through indicators, and trading at the critical points when the market changes from energy storage to energy release, which belongs to a typical cycle trading strategy.
