Price Flip Strategy

The Price Flip strategy mirrors price around recent highs and lows and trades moving average crossovers when the previous close is on the opposite side of this inverted price. A trend filter based on the slow moving average can be applied.

Details

  • Entry Criteria:
    • Previous close is above the inverted price.
    • Fast MA crosses above slow MA.
    • Optional: price is above the slow MA when the trend filter is enabled.
  • Long/Short: Both.
  • Exit Criteria:
    • Opposite signal triggers a reversal.
  • Stops: None.
  • Default Values:
    • TickerMaxLookback = 100
    • TickerMinLookback = 100
    • FastMaLength = 12
    • SlowMaLength = 14
    • UseTrendFilter = true
  • Filters:
    • Category: Trend following
    • Direction: Both
    • Indicators: SMA, Highest/Lowest
    • Stops: No
    • Complexity: Medium
    • Timeframe: Any
    • Seasonality: No
    • Neural networks: No
    • Divergence: No
    • Risk level: Medium
