This strategy is developed based on the Donchian price channel indicator. The indicator forms a price channel by calculating the highest and lowest prices over a certain period. The strategy utilizes the price channel to implement two-way trading and sets stop loss and take profit prices. The stop loss price is fixed to the middle line of the price channel, and the take profit price is set to a certain percentage beyond the upper and lower limits of the price channel. The strategy also implements tracking of stop loss and take profit.
Firstly, the strategy calculates the upper limit h and lower limit l of the price channel based on the parameter pclen. The middle line center is the average of the upper and lower limits of the price channel. Then, take profit prices tpl and tps are calculated according to the take profit parameters tp for long and short positions. The stop loss price is fixed to the middle line center of the price channel. When the price breaks through the price channel, trading positions of different directions are calculated according to the risk sizes risklong and riskshort. The strategy will close positions when the price re-enters the channel. In addition, time filtering is set to only trade within the specified date range.
The specific trading logic is:
Long entry signal: open long when price is greater than the channel upper limit h and falls back into the channel
Long exit signal: close long when price is lower than the channel middle line center (stop loss) or higher than take profit price tpl (take profit)
Short entry signal: open short when price is less than the channel lower limit l and falls back into the channel
Short exit signal: close short when price is higher than the channel middle line center (stop loss) or lower than take profit price tps (take profit)
The advantages of this strategy are:
There are also some risks in this strategy:
These risks can be reduced and controlled by adjusting parameters and manual monitoring.
This strategy can also be optimized in the following aspects:
In conclusion, this is an effective strategy to implement two-way trading using price channel indicators. With proper stop loss, take profit, and position sizing control modules, risks can be well controlled. With some optimizations and adjustments, it can become a powerful quantitative trading strategy.
