Overview

This is a systematic approach designed to capitalize on the volatility of crude oil futures markets. It measures the average range of candlesticks. If the fast moving average is above the slow one, it means the candles are bigger. If the slow moving average is above the fast one, it means the candles are smaller.

According to this principle, it identifies potential long and short entry points. The position is only held for a fixed number of candles, controlled by the “Exit after bars” input.

Strategy Logic

  1. Calculate the highest close price of the most recent 9 bars, as the breakout benchmark
  2. Calculate the lowest close price of the most recent 50 bars, as the breakout benchmark
  3. Compare the average volatility of the most recent 5 and 20 bars to judge if the candlestick pattern is expanding or contracting
  4. Identify long and short signals: when close equals the highest close and candles contracting, go long; when close equals the lowest close and candles contracting, go short
  5. Close position after a fixed number of bars following breakout: adjustable parameter

Advantage Analysis

  1. Regression strategy, judge direction by comparing with historical extremes
  2. Combine with volatility, avoid false breakouts
  3. Fixed number of bars for exit locks in some profit and avoids drawdown

Risk Analysis

  1. Historical extremes change with market structure changes, signals may fail
  2. False breakouts cause being trapped
  3. Improper exit interval may lose greater profit or increase loss

Optimization

  1. Extremes parameters can be optimized through market statistics
  2. Add volatility metrics to evaluate true breakout probability
  3. Optimize number of exit bars through backtest result

Summary

This strategy utilizes breakout and regression to determine short-term trends, belonging to volatility strategies. By optimizing parameters and adding volatility metrics to determine false breakout probability, it can increase profitability. Also the fast exit mechanism locks in some profit and controls risk effectively. It can serve as an auxiliary tool for short-term trading, and can also generate longer-term trading signals through parameter tuning.
