Overview

This strategy constructs dual triangle channels combined with Super Trend indicators to identify breakout directions for high-winrate chasing operations. It also uses EMA to determine overall market trend to avoid ineffective trades in ranging markets.

Strategy Logic

  1. Build 3 Super Trends with different parameters to judge short-term, medium-term and long-term trend directions of the price.

  2. Use the dual triangle channel to determine if the price breaks out the upper or lower channel as entry and exit signals.

  3. Combine the 233-period EMA to determine overall trend direction. Go long when price breaks out the upper channel in an uptrend market and go short when breaking out the lower channel in a downtrend market judged by EMA.

  4. Use the crossover signals of the 3 Super Trends to determine take profit and stop loss. Close positions when 2 or more indicators change color.

Advantages

  1. The dual triangle channel combined with multiple timeframes can accurately capture trending breakouts.

  2. Multi-layer screening avoids ineffective trades and improves win rate.

  3. Dynamic trailing stop loss reduces drawdown risk.

  4. Simple parameter setup makes it easy to use.

Risks & Optimization

  1. Frequent position opening and stop loss in ranging markets. Adjust ATR periods to reduce trade frequency.

  2. EMA period too short fails to catch the trend, too long lags the trend change. Optimize EMA parameter through backtest.

  3. Static stop loss fails to adapt dynamic market volatility. Consider using ATR to trail stop levels.

Conclusion

The Moonshot Dual Triangle Breakout Strategy precisely captures strong breakouts through the combination of Super Trend and dual triangle channel. Multi-layer filters avoid bad signals and achieve high win rate. Simple parameter setup makes it easy to use. Further enhancements on ATR periods and stop loss design can improve its chasing and risk control capabilities.

// This is a well knowen strategy by using 3 different Supertrends and a trend-defining EMA,
// feel free to play around with the settings, a backtest on 8h ETHUSDT pair brought some good results using 
// the 233EMA and investing 75% of a 10k start capital
//
// the idea is to have at least 2 supertrnds going green above the trend-EMA to go long and exit by turning 
// 2 supertrends red (idea: 1 supertrend in red could initialize a take profit)
// shorts work vice versa
// The EMA shows in green for uptrends and in red for downtrends, if it is blue no Signal will be taken because 
// the 3 supertrends are not all above or below the trendline(EMA)
