Methodology
To independently verify and provide a confidence assessment of the EA system’s trading plan, I will use the following technical analysis methods:
- Moving Averages (MA): Calculate the 5-period Moving Average (MA(5)) and the 288-period Bollinger Bands.
- Bollinger Bands (BB): Calculate the 288-period Bollinger Bands with a 2 standard deviation setting.
- Trend Analysis: Analyze the direction and strength of the trend using the MA(5) and BB.
- Support and Resistance Levels: Identify key support and resistance levels based on recent price action.
- Market Session Considerations: Factor in the specific market session characteristics (e.g., Asian, London, New York sessions).
Data Preparation
First, let’s parse the provided 5-minute K-line data and calculate the necessary indicators.
`python
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
Parse the data
data = [
# … (all the provided data)
]
Create a DataFrame
df = pd.DataFrame(data, columns=[‘Timestamp’, ‘Open’, ‘High’, ‘Low’, ‘Close’, ‘Volume’])
df[‘Timestamp’] = pd.to_datetime(df[‘Timestamp’], format=’%Y.%m.%d %H:%M’)
df.set_index(‘Timestamp’, inplace=True)
Convert prices to float
df[[‘Open’, ‘High’, ‘Low’, ‘Close’]] = df[[‘Open’, ‘High’, ‘Low’, ‘Close’]].astype(float)
Calculate the 5-period Moving Average (MA(5))
df[‘MA_5’] = df[‘Close’].rolling(window=5).mean()
Calculate the 288-period Bollinger Bands (BB)
window = 288
df[‘BB_Middle’] = df[‘Close’].rolling(window=window).mean()
df[‘BB_Std’] = df[‘Close’].rolling(window=window).std()
df[‘BB_Upper’] = df[‘BB_Middle’] + 2 * df[‘BB_Std’]
df[‘BB_Lower’] = df[‘BB_Middle’] – 2 * df[‘BB_Std’]
Display the last few rows to check the calculations
print(df.tail())
`
Trend Analysis
Next, we will analyze the current market state by observing the MA(5) and Bollinger Bands.
`python
Check the latest values
latest_close = df[‘Close’].iloc[-1]
ma_5_latest = df[‘MA_5’].iloc[-1]
bb_upper_latest = df[‘BB_Upper’].iloc[-1]
Determine if MA(5) has broken through the upper Bollinger Band
if ma_5_latest < bb_upper_latest:
print(f”MA(5) is below the upper Bollinger Band. Latest Close: {latest_close}, MA(5): {ma_5_latest}, BB_Upper: {bb_upper_latest}”)
else:
print(f”MA(5) is above the upper Bollinger Band. Latest Close: {latest_close}, MA(5): {ma_5_latest}, BB_Upper: {bb_upper_latest}”)
Check the trend of the MA(5)
ma_5_trend = “Downward” if df[‘MA_5’].iloc[-1] < df['MA_5'].iloc[-2] else "Upward"
print(f”MA(5) Trend: {ma_5_trend}”)
`
Support and Resistance Levels
Identify key support and resistance levels based on recent price action.
`python
Identify support and resistance levels
support_level = df[‘Low’].tail(20).min()
resistance_level = df[‘High’].tail(20).max()
print(f”Support Level: {support_level}”)
print(f”Resistance Level: {resistance_level}”)
`
Market Session Considerations
Factor in the specific market session characteristics.
- Current Time: 00:55 (UTC+8 Beijing Time)
- Session: Low Liquidity (02:00-06:00)
Final Analysis and Signal
Based on the above calculations and considerations:
- Latest Close: 4953.73
- MA(5): Below the upper Bollinger Band
- MA(5) Trend: Downward
- Support Level: 4927.17
- Resistance Level: 4992.72
- Market Session: Low Liquidity (False breakouts common, require confirmation)
Given the downward trend of the MA(5) and the fact that it is below the upper Bollinger Band, the EA system’s trading plan to execute a short sell is supported. However, due to the low liquidity session, we need to be cautious and confirm the signal.
Final Trading Signal
- Direction signal: Short
- Trade entry price: 4953.73
- Signal Strength: -5 (Moderate confidence due to low liquidity)
- Stop-Loss price: 4992.72 (Resistance level)
- Take-Profit price: 4927.17 (Support level)
