This strategy identifies trends by expanding the interval between moving averages. When an upward trend is identified, it gradually builds up long positions to profit from the trend. At the same time, stop loss points are set to control risks.
Set two moving averages, EMA1 and EMA2, with slightly different periods, e.g. 55 and 89. This creates a wider range between the MAs.
When price breaks above the MAs, it signals an upward trend. Long positions can then be gradually built up.
After taking a position, continue pyramiding when price keeps rising. This allows higher profits from the trend.
Set a stop loss point below the MAs. When price drops below the MA, close longs to stop loss. The stop loss floats up with entry price.
This allows pyramiding positions to profit from a trend, while setting a stop loss to control risks.
The wider MA range helps clearly identify trends.
Pyramiding creates higher returns from trends.
Dynamic stop loss takes profits from trends while limiting losses.
Suitable for long-term trend trading.
Trend must be correctly identified, otherwise losses accelerate.
Pyramiding must be controlled to avoid margin call risks.
Stop loss must be reasonably set, too wide may expand losses, too tight may cause whipsaws.
Liquidity must be considered, low liquidity assets are unsuitable.
Add more indicators like RSI, KD to confirm trends and avoid false breakouts.
Optimize MA periods based on asset characteristics to find best combinations.
Research optimal pyramiding models to control position sizing risks.
Consider partial profit taking to lock in gains and reduce drawdowns.
Set stop loss based on asset volatility to balance protection and avoiding whipsaws.
This strategy identifies trends with wider MA range, pyramids positions to profit from trends, and sets a floating stop loss to control risks. It can achieve good returns in trends, but needs further optimization on entry signals, pyramiding, stop loss etc. to become more robust across different assets.
