Color XTRIX Histogram Strategy

This strategy trades based on the direction changes of a smoothed TRIX (triple exponential moving average momentum) calculated from logarithmic closing prices. A long position is opened when the TRIX histogram turns upward after declining, while a short position is opened when it turns downward after rising. Positions are reversed on opposite turns. No stop-loss or take-profit is used.

Details

  • Entry Criteria:
    • Long: TRIX rising && previous TRIX falling
    • Short: TRIX falling && previous TRIX rising
  • Long/Short: Long and Short
  • Exit Criteria:
    • Long: TRIX turns downward
    • Short: TRIX turns upward
  • Stops: No
  • Default Values:
    • TRIX Length = 5
    • Smooth Length = 5
    • Momentum Period = 1
    • Candle Type = 4h time frame
  • Filters:
    • Category: Trend following
    • Direction: Both
    • Indicators: TRIX
    • Stops: No
    • Complexity: Low
    • Timeframe: Medium-term
    • Seasonality: No
    • Neural networks: No
    • Divergence: No
    • Risk level: Medium
