Overview

The Peanut 123 Reversal and Breakout Range Short-term Trading Strategy is a combination strategy that incorporates the signals from a reversal strategy and a breakout strategy sub-strategies to generate more powerful trading signals.

Strategy Logic

The strategy consists of two sub-strategies:

  1. Peanut 123 Reversal Strategy

    It is an adapted reversal strategy based on the system introduced on P183 of Ulf Jensen’s book. It goes long when the close price rises for 2 consecutive days and the 9-day Stochastic Slow line is below 50; It goes short when the close price falls for 2 consecutive days and the 9-day Stochastic Fast line is above 50.

  2. Breakout Range Short Strategy

    It is a short-term strategy that uses the breakout of the lowest price in a certain look_bak period as the signal. It goes short when the price breaks below the lowest low in the look_bak period.

The combination strategy takes into account the signals from both sub-strategies. It generates actual trading signals only when the two sub-strategies give signals in the same direction. No trading signals will be generated if the two sub-strategies give opposite signals.

Advantage Analysis

The strategy combines the advantages of both reversal and breakout sub-strategies and considers more factors. It can filter out some noise trades and improve win rate.

  1. The reversal strategy captures short-term reversal opportunities and makes profit during fluctuations.

  2. The breakout strategy catches the short-term trend after the breakout.

  3. By combining the signals of two sub-strategies, more effective trading signals can be generated and noise can be filtered out.

Risk Analysis

The strategy also has the following risks:

  1. Reversals may not happen, there are risks of failed reversals.

  2. Breakouts can also be false breakouts, there are risks of chasing highs and lows.

  3. Neither of the sub-strategies can ensure effectiveness when used alone, combining them may also fail.

To address these risks, methods like optimizing parameters, adjusting the weighting of sub-strategies, choosing different products for arbitrage can be used to reduce risks.

Optimization Directions

There is room for further optimization of the strategy:

  1. Optimize the parameters of the two sub-strategies to better adapt to different cycles and different products.

  2. Increase other types of sub-strategies, such as machine learning prediction strategies, to incorporate more factors.

  3. Dynamically adjust the weighting of the two sub-strategies to give more weight to the better-performed one in different market environments.

  4. Conduct combination arbitrage by selecting products with little correlation but certain commonality.

Summary

The Peanut 123 Reversal and Breakout Range Short-term Trading Strategy integrates the reversal and breakout sub-strategies at the strategy level. To some extent, it combines the advantages of the two sub-strategies while having space for further optimization. It provides new ideas for strategy design - conducting integration and combination at the strategy level while preserving the independence of sub-strategies, in order to discover more effective trading opportunities.
