Strategy Overview: The CVD Divergence Quantitative Trading Strategy utilizes divergences between the CVD indicator and price to capture potential trend reversal signals. The strategy calculates the CVD indicator and compares it with price to determine if bullish or bearish divergences are formed. When a divergence signal is detected, the strategy opens a long or short position. It also uses a trailing stop loss and fixed percentage take profit to control risk and lock in profits. The strategy supports pyramiding with multiple positions.

Conclusion: The CVD Divergence Quantitative Trading Strategy aims to identify potential trend reversal opportunities by capturing divergences between the CVD indicator and price. It employs trailing stop loss and fixed percentage take profit to manage risk. The main advantages of the strategy lie in its ability to effectively capture trend reversal and continuation signals, and better capitalize on trending markets through pyramiding. However, the strategy also faces risks such as signal validity, parameter configuration, stop loss slippage, and transaction costs. Future enhancements can be made through dynamic parameter optimization, combination with other indicators, improved stop loss and take profit mechanisms, and position sizing management. Overall, the CVD Divergence Quantitative Trading Strategy is an effective and optimizable trend-following strategy suitable for quantitative traders who aim to capture trend opportunities while managing risks.
