The ReinforcedAverageStrategy is a trading strategy that aims to generate buy and sell signals based on crossover events. The strategy utilizes various technical indicators to identify potential entry and exit points in the market. Here's a breakdown of the strategy's main components:
Indicators:
Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD): Used to analyze the momentum and trend of the market.
Exponential Moving Averages (EMA): Calculates short-term and medium-term moving averages of the closing prices.
Resampling:
The strategy resamples the dataframe at a specified interval and factor to determine the trend (uptrend, downtrend, or sideways trend) of the market.
The resampled dataframe is used to calculate a simple moving average (SMA) over a certain time period. Buy Signal:
The strategy generates a buy signal when the short-term moving average (maShort) crosses above the medium-term moving average (maMedium), and the closing price is higher than the resampled SMA. The buy signal is represented by a value of 1 in the 'buy' column of the dataframe. Sell Signal:
The strategy generates a sell signal when the medium-term moving average (maMedium) crosses above the short-term moving average (maShort). The sell signal is represented by a value of 1 in the 'sell' column of the dataframe. ROI and Stoploss:
The strategy has a predefined minimal ROI (return on investment) of 0.5, which indicates the desired minimum profit. It also has a predefined stoploss of -0.2, which represents the maximum tolerable loss before selling a position. Overall, the ReinforcedAverageStrategy is a proof-of-concept strategy that demonstrates the use of crossover events and technical indicators for generating buy and sell signals. However, it may not perform optimally and is intended as a starting point for further strategy development and optimization.
