Check out the new article: Reimagining Classic Strategies (Part 13): Taking Our Crossover Strategy to New Dimensions (Part 2).
Join us in our discussion as we look for additional improvements to make to our moving-average cross over strategy to reduce the lag in our trading strategy to more reliable levels by leveraging our skills in data science. It is a well-studied fact that projecting your data to higher dimensions can at times improve the performance of your machine learning models. We will demonstrate what this practically means for you as a trader, and illustrate how you can weaponize this powerful principle using your MetaTrader 5 Terminal.
In our initial discussion, we compared this new proposed crossover strategy against its classical counterpart. In this article, we will continue to advance our moving average crossover strategy and attempt to further reduce the inherent lag by exploring whether it is possible to forecast crossovers before they occur. This would enable us to trade proactively and respond more quickly to trading opportunities. Unlike typical market participants who wait for confirmation and react only after the crossover becomes apparent, we aim to build statistical models capable of detecting crossovers in advance, allowing us to position our accounts appropriately before the moves unfold.
Although detecting trading signals amidst market noise can be challenging, several data science principles can help strengthen our strategy. For example, we reference a presentation by the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory team at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), which offers valuable insights. The link to the presentation is available here. This presentation focused on big data and introduced a key principle relevant to our discussion. Interested readers are encouraged to review the slides for themselves. Briefly, the principle states that certain challenging problems in data science can become easier to solve when projected into higher-dimensional spaces. For the reader's convenience, we have included an excerpt from the original presentation that is relevant for our discussion in Figure 1, below.
