The Triple Overlapping Stochastic Momentum strategy is a typical short-term trading strategy. It calculates three Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) indicators with different parameter settings and generates trading signals when all three show overbought or oversold conditions simultaneously. By combining multi-timeframe analysis, this strategy can effectively filter market noise and improve signal quality.
The core indicator of this strategy is the Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI). The SMI is calculated as follows:
SMI = 100 * EMA(EMA(Close - Midpoint of High-Low Range, N1), N2) / 0.5 * EMA(EMA(High - Low, N1), N2)
Where N1 and N2 are the parameter lengths. The SMI oscillates between -100 and 100. Values above 0 indicate the close is in the upper half of the daily range, while values below 0 indicate the close is in the lower half.
Similar to the traditional Stochastic Oscillator, overbought (e.g. 40)/oversold (e.g. -40) levels indicate potential reversal signals. Bullish and bearish signals are generated when the SMI crosses above/below its moving average line.
The strategy employs three SMI indicators with different parameter sets, specifically:
Trading signals are generated when all three SMIs concurrently show overbought or oversold conditions. This filters out false signals and improves reliability.
Risk Mitigations:
The Triple Overlapping Stochastic Momentum strategy combines robust signal generation across multiple timeframes by overlaying three SMI indicators with unique parameters. Compared to single oscillators, this multi-indicator approach filters more noise and improves consistency. Further refinements can be made going forward through parameter optimization, statistical validation, auxiliary indicators etc. to enhance strategy robustness.
