The Orion trading strategy integrates multiple technical indicators for quantitative trading. It aims to identify market tops and bottoms early so traders can make timely buy and sell decisions. The strategy uses a unique prediction curve mechanism to try generating trading signals before actual price reversals occur.
The core of the strategy is the proprietary Orion signal curve. This curve synthesizes multiple indicators including MACD, WPR, Stoch, RSI etc to generate a composite signal. It is then processed by supersmoothing to create the final curve.
Critically, the curve also incorporates a prediction model, which analyzes the slope changes of the curve to try forecasting potential reversals 1-2 bars ahead. When the prediction curve diverges from the actual curve, early trading signals can be generated.
In addition, a momentum wave indicator is used to determine the trend direction on a larger timeframe. When the wave changes direction, it suggests a larger degree reversal may be upcoming.
Finally, the strategy provides buy and sell suggestions when signals are triggered. Traders can decide whether to follow them.
Multiple indicators improve accuracy Combining indicators helps confirm trends and spot reversals, avoiding single indicator pitfalls.
Prediction model provides early reversal alerts The prediction curve may front-run actual signals, granting trading decisions a head start.
Momentum wave judges overall trend direction Incorporating higher timeframe momentum wave avoids trading against major trends.
Customizable parameters suit different products Users can tune indicator parameters to suit characteristics of different trading products.
Prediction model may cause over-trading The prediction model can generate false signals. Blindly following it may lead to over-trading.
Difficult optimization with multiple parameters With numerous parameters, finding the optimum combination requires extensive datasets and prolonged testing.
Indicator effectiveness needs prudent assessment The actual incremental benefit of each indicator needs careful evaluation to avoid redundancy.
Real-world trading costs should be considered Frequent trading incurs higher costs. Real-world costs need incorporating into backtests.
Evaluate and adjust prediction model
Assess prediction accuracy and optimize parameters to improve reliability.
Simplify model by reducing redundancy Adopt indicator effectiveness evaluation and model simplification to remove unnecessary complexity.
Robustness test across markets Conduct multi-market backtests to verify optimization results and robustness.
Adjust strategy based on real-world costs Introduce real-world costs into backtest to adjust strategy parameters for lower trade frequency.
The Orion strategy synthesizes multiple indicators and a unique prediction curve to try identifying turns early. It has merits but scalability is also limited. Cautious attitude is needed. Continuous optimizations from aspects like signal efficacy and cost effectiveness are required to achieve steady long-term gains in automated trading.
