The "Simple" strategy is a trading strategy based on the book "The Simple Strategy". It uses various technical indicators to generate buy and sell signals. Here is a breakdown of the strategy:
Indicators used:
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence): Calculates the MACD line, signal line, and histogram.
RSI (Relative Strength Index): Calculates the RSI based on a time period of 7.
Buy Signal:
A buy signal is generated when the following conditions are met:
MACD is above 0 and rising (MACD > 0 and MACD > MACD signal).
Bollinger Bands' upper band is increasing (current upper band > previous upper band). RSI is above 70. Sell Signal:
A sell signal is generated when the RSI is above 80. Risk Management:
Minimal ROI (Return on Investment): The strategy aims for a minimal ROI of 0.01 (1%). Stop Loss: The optimal stop loss for the strategy is set at -0.25 (-25%). Timeframe:
The strategy is designed to work on a 5-minute timeframe. Please note that this is a simplified explanation, and for a more detailed understanding of the strategy, you can refer to the book "The Simple Strategy" by Gert Wohlgemuth.
