Strategy Overview

The multi-factor reversal tracking strategy generates trading signals by incorporating price reversal patterns and overbought-oversold indicators. It synthesizes multiple factors to identify market highs and lows and produces trade signals at reversal points to capture medium-short term price reversals.

Strategy Logic

The strategy consists of two modules:

  1. 123 Reversal Pattern Module
  • Go short when seeing 2-day new high but pullback on 3rd day, indicating potential short-term high.

  • Go long when seeing 2-day new low but bounce on 3rd day, indicating potential short-term low.

  1. Reverse Engineered RSI Module
  • Identify reversal points by dynamically adjusting RSI overbought and oversold lines.

  • Go short when RSI above adjusted overbought line, go long when RSI below adjusted oversold line.

Trading signals are only generated when both modules align.

The biggest advantage is incorporating multiple factors to determine structural highs and lows, filtering some false signals from individual factors, and improving actual trading win rate.

Advantages of the Strategy

  • Multi-factor synthesis for comprehensive high/low identification

  • Combines reversal patterns and overbought/oversold indicators

  • Filters false reversals, improves accuracy

  • Optimizable backtest parameters adaptable to different markets

  • Easy to implement for quick replication

Risk Warnings

  • Reversal signals may lag, parameter update needed

  • Prevent overtrading to avoid more commissions

  • Fundamentals of individual stocks still need to be considered

  • Reversal strategies more suitable for indexes and hot stocks

Conclusion

The multi-factor reversal tracking strategy perfectly combines the strengths of quant tools and manual analysis experience by considering multiple perspectives for trade signals. Compared to single indicator strategies, it significantly enhances actual trading stability and win rate. The strategy is worth verifying and optimizing in backtests first, then gradually implementing in live trading, with very pronounced practical value.
