This strategy combines the Weis Wave indicator and Bollinger Bands to determine market trend, trading breakouts at key support/resistance levels. It is a typical trend-following breakout system.
Strategy Logic:
Calculate Weis Wave and use column trend to determine price trend.
Compute BB upper/lower bands, entering trades when price breaks bands.
Go long when Weis Wave shows bullish trend and price breaks above BB top.
Go short when Weis Wave shows bearish trend and price breaks below BB bottom.
Use profit/loss exits when reverse trend appears.
Advantages:
Weis Wave accurately assesses major trend direction.
BB identifies key support/resistance levels.
Combining indicators improves accuracy.
Risks:
Both Weis Wave and BB lag, causing poor entry timing.
Breakouts prone to traps, requiring stops.
Hard to find persistent trends and clear breaks in ranging markets.
In summary, this strategy combines Weis Wave and BB for trend bias and trades breakouts. It can improve accuracy somewhat but requires caution on lags and ranging price action.
