Bull Trend Riding Strategy Based on Stochastic RSI with Special Rules for Heavy Bullish Bias

Overview

This is a long-only trend following strategy. It utilizes Donchian Channel and StochRSI indicator to identify strong bull trends and participate with low risk.

Strategy Logic

This strategy uses the following two indicators for trend identification:

1. Donchian Channel: Calculates 6-day EMA of recent 30 bar’s highest high, as the channel’s upper band. If close is above upper band, it indicates a bull trend currently.

2. StochRSI indicator: Including %K line and %D line. This strategy adds a lower band on %K line, default is 35. When %K line crosses below lower band, it signals an end of the bull trend.

Specifically, the trading logic is:

1. When close is above Donchian upper band, it shows a green background, indicating a bull trend.

2. When StochRSI %K is above the default lower band 35, go long.

3. When %K crosses below lower band, close long position.

As we can see, this strategy utilizes both trend filter and oscillator indicator, to participate in bull trends with low risk. Donchian Channel filters non-trending markets, ensuring only taking long in a bull trend. StochRSI identifies overbought/oversold status, to close position in a timely manner.

Advantages

The advantages of this strategy include:

1. Only long, avoiding losses in bear markets.

2. Using Donchian Channel to identify trends, filtering non-trending markets.
