This strategy combines large candle identification and RSI divergence as primary signals, incorporating both initial fixed stops and dynamic trailing stops to form a complete trend-following trading system. The strategy identifies significant price movements by comparing the current candle body with the previous five candles, confirms momentum changes using fast and slow RSI divergence, and employs a dual-stop mechanism for risk management and profit protection.
The strategy consists of four core components: 1)Large Candle Identification - determining significant price momentum by comparing current candle body with previous five candles; 2)RSI Divergence Analysis - measuring momentum changes using the difference between 5-period fast RSI and 14-period slow RSI; 3)Initial Stop - setting a 200-point fixed stop loss at entry to control initial risk; 4)Trailing Stop - activating after 200 points profit, maintaining a dynamic 150-point following distance. The strategy also uses 21-period EMA as a trend filter to help determine overall market direction.
The strategy builds a complete trend-following system by combining large candles and RSI divergence, achieving comprehensive risk management through a dual-stop mechanism. It is suitable for markets with clear trends and higher volatility, but requires parameter adjustment based on specific market characteristics. Through the suggested optimization directions, the strategy’s stability and profitability can be further enhanced.
