Overview

Principles

S/R identification
- When the close price is higher than the close of 4 days ago for 4 consecutive days, mark the point as a downside support
- When the close price is lower than the close of 4 days ago for 4 consecutive days, mark the point as a upside resistance
Signal generation
- After identifying a support level, if the up bar count reaches the threshold (default 9 days), generate long signal
- After identifying a resistance level, if the down bar count reaches the threshold (default 9 days), generate short signal
MA filter and stop loss
- Require price to cross the MA line on entry, to filter signals
- Set stop loss to the MA line at entry

Advantages

Judgment based on S/R is relatively reliable, not easily misled by short-term fluctuations
Combining MA filter can reduce false signals
Go both long and short to improve frequency and profit opportunities
Parameters adjustable, can be optimized for different products and market situations

Risks and Solutions

May suffer consecutive losses in trending markets
- Increase MA period to reduce trade frequency
Probability of wrong S/R judgement
- Fine tune thresholds for S/R identification
Stop loss may be triggered too often in whipsaw markets
- Loosen stop loss range
- Add trend indicator

Optimization Directions

Add more technical indicators to improve robustness
- Trend, momentum etc.
Optimize S/R identification logic
- Test impact of different parameters
Parameter tuning for specific products and timeframes
- Adjustable range varies across products
Develop adaptive stop loss mechanism
- Dynamically adjust stop loss based on market volatility

Conclusion

The strategy is relatively simple and reliable. By correctly identifying S/R levels it captures price reversal opportunities with high probability. Combining with MA ensures proper entry timing and avoids traps. Finally, the directional judgement is conservative but adaptable. Users can optimize parameters according to their market understanding and achieve even better results.
