Supertrend and MACD strategy

12월 1일

The Supertrend and MACD Strategy is a comprehensive trading approach designed to capitalize on market trends by using a combination of the Supertrend indicator, the Exponential Moving Average (EMA), and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). This strategy aims to identify optimal entry and exit points for both long and short trades, while incorporating strict risk management rules.

Indicators Used:

Supertrend: This indicator is used to identify the overall trend direction. It provides clear signals for trend reversals, helping traders to enter trades in the direction of the prevailing trend.

200-period EMA: This long-term moving average is used to determine the primary trend direction. The strategy only takes long trades when the price is above the 200 EMA and short trades when the price is below it.

MACD: The MACD is used to gauge the momentum and confirm the signals provided by the Supertrend and EMA. It consists of the MACD line, the signal line, and the histogram.

Entry Conditions:

Long Entry:

The Supertrend indicator shows an uptrend (direction > 0).

The MACD line is above the signal line (macd > signal).

The price is above the 200-period EMA (close > ema200).

Short Entry:

The Supertrend indicator shows a downtrend (direction < 0).

The MACD line is below the signal line (macd < signal).

The price is below the 200-period EMA (close < ema200).

Exit Conditions:

Long Exit:

Exit the long position when the MACD line crosses below the signal line (ta.crossunder(macd, signal)).

Set a stop loss (SL) below the lowest low of the last 10 periods (lowestLow - 1).

Short Exit:

Exit the short position when the MACD line crosses above the signal line (ta.crossover(macd, signal)).

Set a stop loss (SL) above the highest high of the last 10 periods (highestHigh + 1).

Risk Management:

The strategy ensures that no new positions are opened if there is already an open trade, preventing overexposure in the market.

Alerts:

Alerts are set to notify traders when the MACD crosses the signal line, providing timely updates for potential exit points.
