This strategy combines momentum indicators with moving average breakouts, entering trades when momentum aligns in a direction and price breaks the MA.
The trading logic is:
Compute short-term momentum, such as 5-day momentum
A long signal triggers when current and prior 2 momentum bars are above 50
Go long when price breaks above 5-day MA
A short signal triggers when current and prior 2 momentum bars are below 50
Go short when price breaks below 5-day MA
Use fixed profit target and trailing stop loss
The strategy capitalizes on momentum strength for trend identification, combining it with MA breakouts for high-probability signals to capture short-term price swings.
Momentum directionality strongly defines trend
MA breakout improves signal quality
Profit target and stop loss combined
Consecutive momentum can lag
Requires iterative parameter optimization
Profit targets and stops need prudence
This strategy synergizes momentum and MA breakout systems with prudent profit taking and risk controls. But parameter tuning and stop loss optimization are crucial for real-world effectiveness.
