This strategy, HL OTT (Highest-Lowest Optimized Trend Tracker), is a trend-following trading system that uses technical indicators to identify and act on market trends. Here’s how it works:
Core Components: 1. HOTT (High OTT) and LOTT (Low OTT): • HOTT: A dynamic line that identifies upward trends. A breakout above HOTT triggers a long (buy) position. • LOTT: A dynamic line that identifies downward trends. A breakout below LOTT triggers a short (sell) position. 2. ADX (Trend Strength): • The Average Directional Index (ADX) measures the strength of the trend. Trades only occur if ADX is above a set threshold (e.g., 25). 3. ATR (Volatility): • The Average True Range (ATR) calculates market volatility. It is used to set dynamic stop-loss, take-profit, and trailing stop levels. 4. Volume Filter: • Trades are executed only when the market volume is above the moving average, ensuring reliability.
How It Works: • Long Trades: Triggered when the price breaks above HOTT, ADX confirms a strong trend, and volume is high. • Short Trades: Triggered when the price breaks below LOTT, ADX confirms a strong trend, and volume is high. • Risk Management: Stop-loss, take-profit, and trailing stop levels adjust dynamically based on ATR. Position size is calculated based on a percentage of equity.
Key Benefits: • Trend-Focused: Targets strong market trends. • Dynamic Adjustments: Adapts to volatility with ATR-based levels. • Reliable Signals: Combines trend strength, volume, and price action.
This strategy is ideal for capturing strong trends while managing risk effectively.
