This strategy combines 123 reversal patterns and money flow indicator to identify trend reversals.
Firstly, 123 reversal patterns are used to detect potential reversal points. Specifically, a buy signal is generated when prices close down in the first two days and then close up on the third day, with stochastic oscillator below the threshold. A sell signal is generated when prices close up in the first two days and then close down on the third day, with stochastic oscillator above the threshold.
Secondly, fast and slow lines of money flow indicator are calculated. The fast line consists of short period exponential moving average of money flow, while the slow line is longer period EMA. When the fast line is above the slow line, it indicates money inflow and generates a buy signal. The opposite suggests money outflow and generates a sell signal.
Finally, when both the 123 reversal and money flow signals agree, a trading signal is generated.
Risks can be managed by improving reversal reliability, tuning money flow sensitivity, implementing stop loss, etc.
The strategy integrates the advantages of reversal trading and trend following. It can effectively identify market turning points. However, parameter tuning and risk control are necessary to avoid excessive false signals when tracking trends. If used properly, it can become an efficient trading strategy.

// This is combo strategies for get a cumulative signal.
//
// First strategy
// This System was created from the Book "How I Tripled My Money In The
// Futures Market" by Ulf Jensen, Page 183. This is reverse type of strategies.
// The strategy buys at market, if close price is higher than the previous close
// during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Slow Oscillator is lower than 50.
// The strategy sells at market, if close price is lower than the previous close price
// during 2 days and the meaning of 9-days Stochastic Fast Oscillator is higher than 50.
//
// Second strategy
// Indicator plots Money Flow Indicator (Chaikin). This indicator looks
// to improve on Larry William's Accumulation Distribution formula that
// compared the closing price with the opening price. In the early 1970's,
// opening prices for stocks stopped being transmitted by the exchanges.
// This made it difficult to calculate Williams' formula. The Chaikin
// Oscillator uses the average price of the bar calculated as follows
// (High + Low) /2 instead of the Open.
// The indicator subtracts a 10 period exponential moving average of the
// AccumDist function from a 3 period exponential moving average of the
// AccumDist function.
//
// WARNING:
// - For purpose educate only
