Overview
This advanced trading strategy integrates multiple technical indicators—Relative Strength Index (RSI), Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), Bollinger Bands, and Volume—to identify high-probability trading opportunities. By analyzing price trends, volatility, and market sentiment, the strategy generates precise buy/sell signals while incorporating liquidity zones for enhanced accuracy.
Core Strategy Components
1. Indicator Calculations
- RSI: Measures overbought/oversold conditions (default period: 14).
- MACD: Tracks trend momentum (short/long periods: 12/26; signal period: 9).
- Bollinger Bands: Identifies price volatility (20-period SMA ± 2 standard deviations).
- Volume Spike Detection: Flags abnormal trading activity (1.5x 20-period average volume).
2. Trend Confirmation
Short-Term (50 MA) vs. Long-Term (200 MA) Moving Averages:
- Uptrend: 50 MA > 200 MA.
- Downtrend: 50 MA < 200 MA.
3. Liquidity Zones
- Highs/Lows: Derived from 50-period highest high/lowest low to mark key support/resistance levels.
