This strategy identifies bullish hammer candlestick patterns and uses the MACD indicator to determine trend direction for trend following trades. During a bull market, go long when a bullish hammer appears while MACD is bullish. Close position when MACD turns bearish.
Identify bullish hammer by calculating body-to-range ratio. Use MACD to determine trend direction. When MACD is bullish, go long when a bullish hammer signal appears. Set stop loss and position sizing. Exit when MACD turns bearish.
Risks can be mitigated by relaxing pattern criteria, shortening MACD parameters, adding secondary indicators etc.
This strategy integrates pattern and indicator analysis for trend determination, enabling steady profits. Further refinements like parameter optimization can make it a practical quant trading strategy.
