Overview

The strategy is named “Double Exponential Moving Average RSI Trading Strategy”. It uses Double EMA and Relative Strength Index (RSI) as the main trading indicators to implement automated trading.

Strategy Principle

The strategy first calculates the Double Exponential Moving Average (MA) of the price, then calculates the RSI based on MA, and further calculates the Exponential Moving Average of RSI (Smooth). It generates buy signals when RSI crosses above its moving average and sell signals when RSI crosses below its moving average. Optionally, the strategy also sets parameters for maximum number of trades per day, trade size as percentage of equity, trading time session, take profit and stop loss in points, and trailing stop in points for risk control.

Strategy Strengths

  1. Double EMA responds faster to price changes and filters out some noise.
  2. Calculating RSI based on MA makes it more stable and avoids false trades.
  3. The moving average of RSI helps confirming trading signals and avoiding false breakouts.
  4. Setting maximum number of trades per day helps controlling daily risk.
  5. Setting trade size as percentage of equity avoids oversized single trade loss.
  6. Setting trading time session avoids key time nodes and controls liquidity risk.
  7. Take profit and stop loss in points help limiting single trade P&L.
  8. Trailing stop in points helps locking in floating profits and reducing drawdowns.

Strategy Risks

  1. Double EMA responds slower to market events, missing short-term trading opportunities.
  2. RSI is prone to forming false death/golden cross signals. Needs confirming with other indicators for prudent trading.
  3. Fixed percentage of equity cannot adapt to varying market volatility, risks insufficient fund utilization.
  4. Fixed stop loss/profit targets fail to adapt to different products and market conditions, risks premature exit.
  5. Trailing stop tends to trigger too often in choppy markets.

Counter measures:

  1. Shorten MA periods to improve sensitivity.
  2. Add other indicators like volume to filter signals.
  3. Dynamically adjust trade size.
  4. Adapt stop loss/profit targets based on market volatility.
  5. Relax trailing stop loss points appropriately.

Optimization Directions

  1. Test different short/long period Double EMA combinations to find optimum parameters.
  2. Test RSI calculation period parameters to improve death/golden cross signal reliability.
  3. Add indicators like volume, Bollinger Bands to filter signal noise.
  4. Dynamically adjust trade size and stop loss/profit targets based on daily close price, volatility etc.
  5. Optimize trailing stop mechanisms for different products and market environments.

Summary

The strategy has clear mechanical rules and high reliability overall, suitable for medium-to-long-term trending products. When optimized, it can become a basic trend following mechanical strategy with controllable risks, worth further evaluation on live performance.
