This trading strategy, implemented in Python using the Freqtrade library, is designed to backtest a specific pattern in the financial markets. Here's a breakdown of its key components and functionality:
The strategy aims to identify and trade a specific pattern:
The pattern it's looking for involves the market moving in a sideways (range-bound) manner, followed by a sudden decline, then a subsequent rise forming a double top, and finally a significant drop. The strategy's main objective is to generate sell signals during this pattern.
Indicators used to identify and trade the pattern: MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): Calculates MACD line, signal line, and histogram.
Bollinger Bands: Calculates upper, middle, and lower Bollinger Bands based on the closing prices.
RSI (Relative Strength Index): Computes the RSI value based on closing prices. Candlestick pattern: Identifies specific candlestick patterns (DOJI) using the TA-Lib library. Detecting sideways market conditions: The strategy defines a condition for a sideways market where the price amplitude within a specific period is relatively low (controlled by sideways_market_pct). Additionally, it considers factors like Bollinger Bands width and RSI being within a neutral range. Buy signal criteria: The strategy generates a buy signal when the market is in a sideways condition, and the MACD is positive. Sell signal criteria: The strategy produces sell signals using two conditions: It detects a double top pattern based on the identified candlestick pattern (DOJI). If the price drops below the lowest point of the most recent sideways phase. Implementation: The strategy is implemented as a class CustomStrategy4 which inherits from IStrategy provided by the Freqtrade library. The class includes methods to populate indicators, buy trends, and sell trends based on the defined conditions. Note: It seems there is a missing piece in the code where the variable sideways_low is referenced in the populate_sell_trend method but not defined anywhere in the provided code snippet. This might need to be defined elsewhere in your actual code implementation. Remember that while this description outlines the functionality and components of the strategy, proper testing, optimization, and risk management are crucial before deploying any trading strategy in a live environment.
