This strategy identifies trading opportunities by calculating candlestick body/wick ratios and combining RSI indicators to detect overbought/oversold market conditions. It aims to capture potential reversals in the price momentum over short-to-medium term timeframes.
The core logic of this strategy is based on the following:
Calculate body/wick percentage of candlesticks: By computing open, close, high and low prices, derive the percentage occupied by candle body and wicks. Wick percentage below 20% indicates a strong candle.
Compute candle strength change percentage: Calculate the internal price movement magnitude of each candle to determine candle strength. Larger fluctuations imply stronger momentum and hence indicate stronger candles.
Combine with RSI to identify overbought/oversold conditions: Set overbought and oversold threshold lines for RSI. RSI above overbought line signifies overbought state and vice versa for oversold. Strong candles in such states have high probability of reversal.
Determine reversal signals: When wick percentage < 20% and candle strength > 2 x average strength, along with previous candle close higher than current candle close, it signals short condition. The opposite indicates long condition.
Define stop loss and take profit: Set fixed percentage-based stop loss and take profit levels separately for long and short trades.
The advantages of this strategy include:
Effective identification of trend and reversals using candle body/wick proportions. Detects price momentum and turning points well.
Higher accuracy of reversal signals by combining candle strength change and RSI. RSI is adjustable providing greater optimization capability.
Reasonable stop loss/take profit configuration to capitalize on short-term opportunities while lowering trade risk exposure.
Flexible tunability of parameters for optimizing across different products and timeframes. High practical utility.
Some risks present in the strategy:
Potential false signals during strong trend breakouts. Can be reduced via optimization of candle comparison periods and RSI parameters.
Probability of failed reversals can’t be eliminated fully. Being long in downtrend and vice versa induces losses. Stop losses should be adjusted accordingly to minimize damage.
Performance depends on product and timeframe. Caution warranted when applying to highly volatile products.
The strategy can be optimized in the following ways:
Fine tune periods considered in identifying overbought/oversold to determine optimal parameter combinations.
Optimize overbought/oversold RSI thresholds based on product specifics.
Test stop loss/take profit ratios for deriving ideal risk management plan.
Categorize products as per volatility for more targeted parameter tuning.
Additional filters based on other indicators may improve robustness.
The strategy is highly practical overall for detecting reversals by understanding candlestick information. As a typical short-term trading system, it has sizable optimization capability across products and environments for tracking medium-term trends. However adequate risk control through stop losses is imperative.
