Overview

This is an automated trading strategy that generates long/short/close signals on the target crypto currency based on the calculated trend of a benchmark crypto currency considered correlated with it, using the Wall Street Chasing Ring Index.

With default parameters and ETH/USDT as base symbol, the strategy shows good backtest results on symbols like DENT/USDT, BTT/USDT, FTT/USDT, DOT/USDT etc. This makes sense as ETH is quite influential in crypto markets so many cryptos tend to follow ETH’s major movements.

Note: The strategy with default parameters is intended for 4h timeframe. On other timeframes, try different support length.

How The Strategy Works

  1. A WMA is calculated on the base symbol, with length 200 by default.

  2. When WMA is rising, go long. When falling go short.

  3. TakeProfit for Long/Short and StopLoss for Long/Short are calculated percentages so 0.05 = 5% etc. Also, TakeProfit/StopLoss are calculated on the base symbol not chart’s symbol.

  4. The strategy uses market orders for entry and exit based on following logic:

    • When WMA rising and no position, long entry

    • When WMA falling and no position, short entry

    • When long position profit >= TakeProfitLong percent, close long

    • When short position profit >= TakeProfitShort percent, close short

    • When long position loss >= StopLossLong percent, close long

    • When short position loss >= StopLossShort percent, close short

  5. TakeProfit and StopLoss prices are updated in realtime based on base symbol price changes.

Advantage Analysis

  1. The strategy is highly adaptable for use on multiple crypto currencies by tuning parameters.

  2. Using Wall Street CCI to determine trend avoids noise-led wrong trades. CCI has lag in breakouts helping avoid false breakout losses.

  3. Incorporating TakeProfit and StopLoss allows trend following while controlling loss per trade.

  4. Fully automated trading without manual intervention allows 24/7 runtime.

Risk Analysis

  1. Risk of target crypto price decoupling from base crypto, leading to failure of strategy. Can optimize by using multiple base cryptos and choosing the highest correlated one.

  2. Risk of sudden volatility stopping out positions. Can adjust StopLoss percent or use trailing stops.

  3. Risk of TakeProfit percent too small to capture sufficient trend gains. Can incorporate trend tracking or dynamic take profit.

  4. Risk of false breakout leading to stop loss exit. Can tune CCI parameters or add re-entry logic.

Optimization Directions

  1. Use correlation analysis across multiple base cryptos and combine indicators to reduce single base crypto risk.

  2. Add trend tracking to dynamically adjust TakeProfit/StopLoss based on volatility.

  3. Add staged stops to prevent extreme moves stopping out positions.

  4. Add re-entry logic to avoid missing further trends after stop loss exit.

  5. Optimize CCI parameters and settings to improve signal effectiveness.

  6. Optimize parameters separately for each target crypto to improve adaptability.

  7. Optimize position sizing based on account size.

Summary

Overall this is a typical trend following strategy. The core idea is to determine the trend direction of a benchmark crypto using Wall Street CCI and trade the target crypto accordingly. The strategy has some advantages but also risks to note. Further enhancements in tuning, trend tracking, risk control etc. can improve stability and profitability. In summary, the strategy provides ideas and reference for automated systematic crypto trading.
