Multi-Indicator Combo Trading Strategy

Author: ChaoZhang, Date: 2023-09-13 12:18:05
Tags:

This strategy combines multiple technical indicators like moving averages, RSI and Stochastics to assess price trend and overbought/oversold levels for trade signals. It harnesses the strengths of multiple indicators for more reliable decisions.

Strategy Logic:

  1. Use multiple EMAs to determine overall price trend.

  2. Calculate RSI and Stochastics for overbought/oversold levels.

  3. Enter long when EMAs give bull signal, RSI not overbought and Stoch not overbought.

  4. Enter short when EMAs give bear signal, RSI not oversold and Stoch not oversold.

  5. Exit when any indicator gives opposite signal.

Advantages:

  1. Multi-indicator verification improves accuracy.

  2. Indicators complement each other for better market assessment.

  3. Clear trading rules ease backtesting and execution.

Risks:

  1. Avoid excessive redundancy across indicators.

  2. Complex multi-indicator optimization.

  3. More indicators does not necessarily improve performance.

In summary, the multi-indicator approach can improve decisions to some extent but requires balancing optimization difficulty and redundancy for simple, reliable strategies.
