This strategy combines multiple technical indicators to identify price reversals, making it a multi-factor driven reversal trading strategy. It integrates the 123 pattern with the Polarized Fractal Efficiency (PFE) indicator, entering trades only when both agree on the signal to filter out false signals and improve win rate.
The strategy consists of two main components:
123 pattern identification: A buy signal is generated when the close is up for 2 consecutive days and then down on the 3rd day, with Stochastic fast line below slow line. A sell signal is generated when the opposite occurs.
PFE indicator threshold: PFE above upper limit indicates sell signals, PFE below lower limit indicates buy signals.
Trades are entered only when both 123 pattern and PFE indicator agree. If not, position is flat.
The 123 pattern identifies potential reversals. PFE measures trend efficiency to avoid false breakouts. Together they improve accuracy through multi-factor confirmation.
Mitigations:
The strategy can be enhanced through:
This strategy combines multiple factors to identify reversal points, providing theoretical soundness and ease of implementation. The multi-factor approach improves accuracy over single indicators. Further improvements can come through parameter optimization, stop loss management, portfolio combinations and more.

// 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
// The Polarized Fractal Efficiency (PFE) indicator measures the efficiency
// of price movements by drawing on concepts from fractal geometry and chaos
// theory. The more linear and efficient the price movement, the shorter the
// distance the prices must travel between two points and thus the more efficient
// the price movement.
