The WaveTrendStra strategy is a trading strategy that aims to identify buying and selling opportunities based on the WaveTrend indicator. Here is a brief description of what the strategy does:
Indicator Calculation:
The strategy calculates the WaveTrend indicator using price data. It uses the EMA (Exponential Moving Average) of the typical price (average of high, low, and close) with a period of 10.
It calculates the difference between the typical price and the EMA, takes the absolute value, and calculates the EMA of this difference with a period of 10.
It calculates the Current Impulse (CI) by dividing the difference between the typical price and EMA by a constant multiple of the previous difference.
It calculates the WaveTrend 1 (wt1) by applying the EMA with a period of 21 to the CI. It calculates the WaveTrend 2 (wt2) by applying the Simple Moving Average (SMA) with a period of 4 to wt1. Buy Signal:
The strategy generates a buy signal when wt1 crosses above wt2. Sell Signal:
The strategy generates a sell signal when wt1 crosses below wt2. Risk Management:
The strategy sets a stop-loss level at -0.25, meaning if the price moves against the trade by 0.25, it will trigger a sell signal to limit losses. Timeframe:
The strategy is designed to be used on the 4-hour timeframe. Minimal ROI (Return on Investment):
The strategy defines a minimal ROI of 100%, effectively disabling it for profit-taking purposes. Please note that this is a skeleton implementation, and you may need to customize it further to suit your specific backtesting website and trading preferences.
