This strategy combines multiple reversal indicators to take counter directional positions when price reversal signals emerge. It belongs to mean reversion algorithmic trading strategies.
Firstly, the 123 reversal system is used to identify price reversal signals, based on price action of two consecutive bars and the Stochastic indicator.
Secondly, the Fast and Slow Kurtosis (FSK) indicator judges sentiment reversal based on momentum acceleration.
The 123 reversal system and FSK reversal indicator are combined as a combo. Counter directional positions are taken when both produce reversal signals.
Reverse trading can be enabled, taking short when original signal is long, and vice versa.
Combining multiple factors can improve signal accuracy and avoid false signals.
The 123 system and FSK indicator are complementary in catching reversals across timeframes.
Reverse trading allows profiting from sharp reversals.
Using multiple reversal factors enhances strategy robustness.
Easy to understand and implement, suitable for quant trading beginners.
Reversal signals may produce false signals resulting in losses.
Poor timing of reversals can lead to chasing tops and bottoms.
Reverse trading can produce losses in persistent trends.
Improper parameter optimization leads to overfitting.
High trading frequency may incur more transaction costs.
Test adding other reversal factors like RSI, KD to enrich the combo.
Optimize parameters for better indicator sensitivity.
Add trend filter to avoid counter-trend trades.
Use dynamic position sizing to optimize capital efficiency.
Optimize stop loss to limit losses per trade.
Evaluate transaction costs impact to avoid over-trading.
This strategy combines the 123 reversal system and FSK indicator to trade price reversals in counter direction. It can filter out false signals and improve accuracy. But reversal strategies face the risk of uncertain reversals. Continual parameter tuning, position sizing and trade frequency controls are needed to reduce risks and enhance robustness.

// 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
// This indicator plots the Fast & Slow Kurtosis. The Kurtosis is a market
// sentiment indicator. The Kurtosis is constructed from three different parts.
// The Kurtosis, the Fast Kurtosis(FK), and the Fast/Slow Kurtosis(FSK).
