The Single Side Trend Shock Breakout Strategy is a breakout strategy that utilizes price channels and trend judgment. It aims to identify trend direction, enter on breakouts during range-bound periods, and exit when a profit target is reached.
The strategy calculates upper and lower bands of a price channel using highest and lowest prices over a recent N periods. It then computes a price midline. Distances between prices and midline are averaged to obtain the channel bands.
For trend detection, the strategy checks if recent candles all close above (bullish) or below (bearish) the channel. Upon trend confirmation, it awaits price shocks near the bands and enters in reverse direction.
Body breakouts supplement the entry signals when body length exceeds a multiple of average body length. The strategy sets a profit target after entry and takes profit when price reaches it.
The main advantages of this strategy are:
There are also some risks:
These can be addressed via parameter tuning, avoiding reversals during strong trends, optimizing exit logic etc.
Some ways to improve the strategy:
The Single Side Trend Shock Breakout Strategy profits from breakouts against the trend in ranging periods. It has the advantage of trend identification and active profit-taking, but also has some risks. These risks can be reduced through multi-factor confirmation, parameter optimization etc. The strategy suits short-term trading and can complement trend-following strategies.
