Overview

This strategy combines ATR and T3 moving average for trend determination and tracking. ATR forms price channels to judge overall trend direction. T3 moving average gives entry signals and stop loss exit points. The strategy suits trend followers seeking steady profits.

Strategy Logic

  1. ATR forms price channels, channel direction determines main trend.

  2. T3 moving average helps determine specific entry timing, buying on price breaking T3 line.

  3. Price breaking below lower band triggers stop loss exit; breaking above upper band takes profit.

  4. Options for long-only or dual directional trading.

  5. Parameter optimization combined with indicator nature to find optimal settings.

Advantage Analysis

  1. ATR channels give clear trend identification and direction.

  2. Adjustable T3 parameters for capturing trends on different levels.

  3. Consistent stop loss and take profit rules avoid arbitrary exits.

  4. Low trade frequency suits long-term holding strategies.

Risk Analysis

  1. Indicator divergence can cause wrong trades.

  2. Not considering individual stock volatility patterns risks overfitting.

  3. Low trade frequency risks missing opportunities and limited profit potential.

  4. Heavy position holding brings end-of-day slippage risks.

Optimization Directions

  1. Add other indicators to ensure trade validity.

  2. Parameter tuning for different products improves adaptability.

  3. Optimize position sizing to balance frequency and risk.

  4. Consider dynamic trailing stop loss and profit taking to expand profit room.

  5. Add strategy-level FILTERS to improve robustness.

Summary

The strategy integrates ATR and T3 moving average for simple and effective trend tracking. But further enhancements in indicator logic and parameter optimization can lower errors and make it more practical.
