Optimized Trend Tracker STRATEGY & SCREENER

This trading strategy utilizes the Optimized Trend Tracker (OTT) to generate buy and sell signals based on the moving averages and trend reversals calculated on the chosen data source (price close by default) and customizable parameters for OTT period and percentage.

To trade this strategy manually on TradingView:

• Determine the OTT period (default 2 bars) and OTT percentage (default 1.4%) for volatility adjustment.
• Select the moving average type: SMA, EMA, WMA, TMA, VAR, WWMA, ZLEMA, or TSF. The script uses a function called 'getMA' to switch between them.
• Calculate the moving average based on the chosen type and apply the OTT adjustments to derive the support line (MAvg) and directional trend line (MT).
• Establish buy signals when the price crosses above the OTT line or the price transitions from below the support to above the support line. Conversely, establish sell signals when the price crosses below the OTT line or from above to below the support line.
• Use the plot function in TradingView to visualize these lines and signals, and set alert conditions for crossing events.
• Maintain color highlighting logic for visual confirmation: green when the moving average is above the OTT line and red when below, indicating bullish and bearish trends respectively.
• To exit the trades, you can track the trend reversal signals indicated by the direction change of the OTT line or the color change if 'highlight' functions are included.

Improving the Optimized Trend Tracker (OTT) Strategy for manual trading involves making enhancements that leverage human discretion and supplemental analysis. This can lead to more robust decision-making and tailored risk management. Here's a concise plan to optimize the OTT Strategy manually:

• Adaptive Moving Average Selection: While the OTT strategy allows for the selection of various moving averages (MAs), manual traders should actively switch between them based on market volatility and trend characteristics. For instance, use the Simple Moving Average (SMA) during stable trends and the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) when the market is dynamic and fast-paced.
• Multiple Timeframe Analysis: Implement multiple timeframe analysis to confirm trends and signals. A signal on your trading timeframe should be confirmed by looking for alignment on both higher and lower timeframes for added confirmation and robustness.
• Volume Confirmation: Integrate volume analysis to confirm the strength behind trend reversals. An increase in volume during a trend confirmation adds credibility to the OTT signal.
• Incorporate Price Action: Combine OTT signals with classic price action patterns such as triangles, head and shoulders, or flags. Price patterns can provide extra context to signals, helping to filter out false positives.
• Support and Resistance Validation: Overlay support and resistance levels on your charts. An OTT buy signal near a strong support level or a sell signal near resistance can be a more reliable trading opportunity.
• Advanced Exit Strategy: Instead of purely relying on trend reversals for exits, consider a layered exit strategy. Take partial profits at predetermined price targets, use trailing stops, or look for reversal candlestick patterns as additional exit cues.
• Supplement with Indicators: Add complementary indicators such as RSI, MACD, or Stochastic to validate the momentum behind OTT signals, but avoid overcomplicating the chart which can lead to analysis paralysis.
• Risk Management Enhancements: Adjust position sizes based on the confidence level of the signal. For instance, risk more on trades where multiple factors align (e.g., volume, price action, and MA type) and less on weaker signals.
• Market Sentiment: Pay attention to broader market sentiment. Integrate fundamental analysis or market news which can influence the effectiveness of technical signals.
• Journaling & Review: Keep a trading journal for all trades taken based on OTT signals. Review regularly to identify which enhancements provided the best improvements in your trading performance.
