La estrategia Follow The Bear (FTB) es una estrategia de negociación de divisas diseñada para capturar un patrón recurrente en la acción del precio del EUR/USD
La premisa central de la estrategia de FTB se basa en la suposición de que los alcistas del euro y los algoritmos que empujan el precio del EUR/USD hacia arriba quedarán atrapados cuando la tendencia alcista se detenga o se invierta poco después de que el mercado europeo/londrino se abra.
La estrategia tiene como objetivo capitalizar esta teoría bajista observando los patrones de velas de inversión durante la zona horaria europea (por ejemplo, 2am-7am).
Cuando se forma una vela de este tipo, indica que las operaciones en la trampa se enfrentan a la liquidación.
Al pasar todos los filtros, la estrategia entra en posiciones cortas en el cierre de la vela con un stop loss situado justo por encima del máximo y un objetivo de ganancia calculado en función de una relación riesgo/recompensación de 1: 1 (configurable).
Un detalle clave es que la estrategia solo opera durante la sesión europea.
Como estrategia sencilla de inversión de la media a corto plazo, el enfoque de la FTB tiene varias fortalezas clave:
En general, como estrategia de scalping nocturno de baja frecuencia, la estabilidad y fiabilidad de FTB es bastante atractiva.
Si bien la estrategia tiene méritos, como con cualquier sistema de negociación, existen riesgos que incluyen:
Algunas maneras de abordar los riesgos:
Dado el carácter básico de la estrategia y los riesgos que conlleva, algunos ámbitos a considerar para mejorar:
La estrategia Follow the Bear proporciona un enfoque sencillo para la venta corta a corto plazo mediante la capitalización de los retracements impulsados por los toros del euro atrapados.
