Overview

This strategy is a composite trading system that combines the momentum indicator RSI with the trend indicator EMA. Operating on both 1-minute and 5-minute timeframes, it makes trading decisions based on RSI overbought/oversold signals and triple EMA trend determination. The strategy incorporates both trend following and mean reversion characteristics, enabling it to capture trading opportunities in different market environments.

Strategy Principles

The strategy uses 21/50/200-day triple EMA as trend judgment benchmark, combined with a modified RSI indicator (calculated using Chebyshev method) to identify market overbought/oversold conditions. On the 1-minute timeframe, it initiates short positions when RSI breaks above 94 and closes when it falls below 4, with breakeven stops set when RSI returns to 50. On the 5-minute timeframe, it initiates long positions when price rebounds after falling below the 200-day EMA, closing positions when RSI is overbought or breaks below the median. Position management variables inPositionLong and inPositionShort prevent repeated entries.

Strategy Advantages

  1. Multi-timeframe analysis enhances signal reliability
  2. Combines trend and momentum indicators for complementary benefits
  3. Implements breakeven stop-loss mechanism for risk control
  4. Uses improved RSI calculation method for more accurate signals
  5. Prevents duplicate trades through position management
  6. Adaptable to different market environments

Strategy Risks

  1. Frequent trading may incur high transaction costs
  2. May trigger frequent stops in volatile markets
  3. RSI indicator may generate false signals under certain market conditions
  4. Multi-period strategy may have lag in signal confirmation
  5. EMA crossover signals may be misleading in ranging markets

Optimization Directions

  1. Introduce volatility filters to adjust parameters during high volatility periods
  2. Add volume confirmation mechanism
  3. Optimize RSI thresholds with potential dynamic adjustment
  4. Include additional technical indicators for cross-validation
  5. Implement adaptive parameter mechanisms
  6. Develop more sophisticated stop-loss mechanisms

Summary

The strategy enhances trading stability and reliability through the combination of multiple technical indicators and multi-timeframe analysis. While certain risks exist, they can be effectively controlled through proper position management and stop-loss mechanisms. The strategy has significant optimization potential, and its performance can be further improved by introducing additional technical indicators and optimizing parameters.
