Overview

This is a quantitative trading strategy that utilizes RSI and T3 indicators to determine trends and sets stop-loss lines based on ATR indicators to implement adaptive PMax breakouts. Its main idea is to optimize trend determination and stop-loss settings to control risks while improving profitability.

Strategy Logic

  1. Determine trends using RSI and T3 indicators

    • Use RSI indicator to judge overbought/oversold of stocks
    • Calculate T3 indicator based on RSI to determine trends
  2. Set adaptive PMax stop-loss lines based on ATR indicator

    • Use ATR as a representative of volatility
    • Set stop-loss lines above and below T3 indicator, with width of a multiple of ATR
    • Realize adaptive adjustment of stop-loss lines
  3. Buy on crossover and exit on stop-loss

    • Consider price crossover above T3 as buy signal
    • Exit position when price crosses below stop-loss line

Advantages

The main advantages of this strategy:

  1. RSI + T3 combination improves trend determination
  2. PMax adaptive stop-loss controls risks
  3. ATR as volatility index rationalizes stop-loss width
  4. Balance between drawdown and profitability

Risks

The main risks:

  1. Reversal risk

    Short-term reversals may trigger stop-loss and cause loss. Can loosen stop-loss to reduce impact.

  2. Trend determination failure risk

    RSI+T3’s trend determination not 100% reliable. Wrong judgement may cause loss. Can optimize parameters or add other indicators.

Improvements

Some directions for further optimization:

  1. Add other indicators like moving average for trend assistance
  2. Optimize length parameters for RSI and T3
  3. Test different ATR multipliers for stop-loss width
  4. Adjust stop-loss looseness based on different markets

Conclusion

This strategy integrates the strengths of RSI, T3 and ATR indicators, achieving a combination of trend determination and risk control. Compared to single indicators, it has higher accuracy and drawdown control, making it a reliable trend tracking strategy. Still room for optimizing parameters and risk control. Overall a recommended quantitative trading strategy worth promoting.
