This strategy uses moving average crossovers between different timeframes to generate trading signals. It allows observing longer timeframe MAs on current chart to detect larger trends. This belongs to inter-timeframe trend following strategies.
The strategy uses two moving averages calculated on separate timeframes.
For example on 15min chart it uses 20MA and 50MA:
When 15min 20MA crosses above daily 50MA, it goes long. When 15min 20MA crosses below daily 50MA, it goes short.
This achieves the effect of observing longer timeframe trends on current period. Custom MA lengths are also allowed.
Crossover points can be marked for clear trade signals.
Risks can be reduced by:
The strategy can be improved by:
Testing more MA period combinations for optimization
Adding secondary confirmation when crossover happens
e.g. check MACD momentum
Optimizing stops to avoid premature exit
Consider Post123 evidence to decide exits
Different filters for short and long TF
More strict for short TF, more relaxed for long TF
Consider different parameter sets for different sessions
Market conditions vary by sessions
This strategy observes crossovers between MAs of multiple timeframes to determine trend direction and uncover larger trends. This filters out short-term noises and focuses on larger price moves. However, challenges like timeframe tuning and lagging signals exist. Enhancements can be made via rigorous backtesting and optimization for robust parameters, adding filters for confirmation, live validation for continuous improvements according to market feedback. Persistent learning and optimization is key to adaptivity.
