This strategy enters and exits trades at shifted prices to follow trends.
Calculate shifted prices based on previous close’s percentage.
Downward shifted price is buy line, upward shifted price is sell line.
Enter long when price hits buy line.
Exit when price hits sell line.
The strategy achieves auto trailing profit takes via shifted entry/exit levels. Further improvements through parameter optimization and logic enhancements can improve performance. But whipsaw risks need to be managed. Overall a simple and practical approach for trend following trading.
