Overview

The Super Trend Triple strategy is a trend following strategy based on multiple time frame Super Trend indicators and moving average. It can effectively identify trend direction, enter timely when a trend is forming, and exit timely when a trend is reversing, thus profiting. Compared with single Super Trend strategies, the Super Trend Triple strategy can depict market trends more accurately and avoid losses caused by false breakouts.

Strategy Logic

The strategy adopts three Super Trend indicators with different parameter settings at the same time: Super Trend 1, Super Trend 2 and Super Trend 3. Their periods range from long to short, which are input parameters supertrend1_period, supertrend2_period and supertrend3_period respectively. The three Super Trend indicators work with the moving average line EMA. The specific logic is:

Long entry signal: when close price is higher than all three Super Trend lines and the moving average line, go long.
Short entry signal: when close price is lower than all three Super Trend lines and the moving average line, go short.

Thus, Super Trend indicators with different periods can verify each other to avoid misinterpreting market trends. The addition of the moving average line EMA can filter out some false breakouts.

Strategy Strengths

Using a triple Super Trend system can judge trends more accurately and avoid being misled by false breakouts.
Super Trend indicators with different parameter settings verify each other, making the strategy more reliable.
Adding a moving average line filter can further avoid noise from small cycles.
The strategy participates reasonably, can both follow trends to profit and exit in time to control risks.

Strategy Risks and Solutions

Super Trend indicators have lagging effect, which may lead to slightly late entry timing. Parameters can be adjusted accordingly or other leading indicators can be added.
Moving average lines as filters also have lagging issues. Other smoothing indicators such as EMA and momentum indicators can be tested to replace.
Potential larger losses during trend reversal. Stop loss can be set or additional indicators can be added to judge potential reversal.
Improper parameter settings may also affect strategy performance. Sufficient backtesting and optimization is needed to find the optimal parameter combination.

Directions for Strategy Optimization

Test adding other trend judging indicators such as MACD, DMI etc to verify the accuracy of trend judgment.
Try auto optimizing parameters to make the periods and multipliers of Super Trends self-adaptive to different market environments.
Set dynamic stop loss and take profit criteria so that the strategy can automatically adjust risk-reward ratio according to real-time fluctuations.
Optimize parameters of moving average line or introduce other indicators to filter false breakout signals.
Test running strategies over longer time frames (daily, weekly etc) to judge its effectiveness in capturing major trends.

Conclusion

The Super Trend Triple strategy adopts three Super Trend indicators with different parameters simultaneously to verify the trend direction, and combines moving average lines for filtration. It can effectively identify trends, enter timely, avoid false breakouts and is hence a reliable trend following strategy. The strategy can be upgraded in various ways including parameter optimization, stop loss mechanism improvements and integrating other indicators. By controlling risks while capturing mid-to-long term trends with optimization space, it has broad room for optimization.
