This strategy first calculates ADX and SMA on higher timeframes to identify trend direction and changes. Then RSI is calculated on lower timeframes to identify overbought and oversold conditions to generate trading signals.
ADX on higher timeframes judges the strength of the trend. Rising ADX represents strengthening trend.
SMA on higher timeframes judges the direction of the trend. Rising SMA represents rising prices, falling SMA represents falling prices.
RSI on lower timeframes judges overbought and oversold conditions. RSI above threshold means overbought, RSI below threshold means oversold.
When ADX rises, SMA rises, and RSI overbought on lower timeframe, it’s considered the uptrend is strengthening, go short here.
When ADX rises, SMA falls, and RSI oversold on lower timeframe, it’s considered the downtrend is strengthening, go long here.
Combines trend judgment and reversal trading, can capture reversal opportunities in major trends.
Utilizes indicators across timeframes, improves reliability of signals.
RSI strategy is simple to understand and implement.
Potential for false RSI signals, causing losing trades. Can optimize parameters to reduce false signals.
Major cycle trend judgment can be wrong, making strategy not suitable for market condition. Can consider more indicators for trend judgment.
Potentially high trading frequency, impacting profitability due to transaction costs. Can adjust RSI parameters to reduce number of trades.
Test more parameter combinations to find optimal match between RSI and ADX, SMA parameters.
Add stop loss mechanism to control single trade loss.
Consider volatility indicator to reduce position size when volatility is low.
Optimize specific entry and exit prices, like entering short upon breaking previous bar’s high.
This strategy combines trend judgment and reversal signals to find local reversals within major trends. Compared to solely using RSI, it is more reliable and avoids being trapped. Overall a relatively conservative strategy suitable for investors looking to reduce false signals. Further parameter testing and mechanism optimization can improve strategy performance.
