Monthly Day Long Strategy with VIX and Risk Management

11 Agu

This trading strategy is designed to open long positions on a specific day of the month, with the conditions for entry and exit based on the VIX index and additional risk management techniques. The strategy includes stop-loss and take-profit features to manage risk and lock in profits.

Inputs:

Entry Day of the Month (entry_day): Specifies which day of the month to consider for initiating a trade. The default value is the 27th.
Hold Duration (Days) (hold_duration_days): Defines how many days to hold the position after opening. The default value is 4 days.
VIX Threshold (vix_threshold): Sets the maximum acceptable value for the VIX index to consider an entry. If the VIX is below this threshold, it signals a potential trade. The default value is 20.0.
Stop Loss (%) (stop_loss_percentage): Determines the percentage below the entry price where the stop-loss will be triggered. The default value is 2.0%.
Take Profit (%) (take_profit_percentage): Sets the percentage above the entry price where the take-profit will be triggered. The default value is 5.0%.

Functions:

next_weekday(date): Adjusts the entry date to the next Monday if it falls on a weekend (Saturday or Sunday). This ensures trades do not occur on non-trading days.

Logic:

Entry Conditions:
Date Check: Opens a long position if the current date matches the adjusted entry date (the 27th or the next Monday if the 27th falls on a weekend).
VIX Filter: The VIX index value must be below the specified threshold (e.g., 20.0) to consider an entry.

Exit Conditions:
Time-Based Exit: Closes the position after the hold duration of 4 days.
Stop-Loss: Automatically closes the position if the price drops to a level that is a specified percentage below the entry price (e.g., 2.0%).
Take-Profit: Closes the position if the price rises to a level that is a specified percentage above the entry price (e.g., 5.0%).

Plots:

VIX Plot: Displays the VIX index on the chart for visual reference.
VIX Threshold Line: A horizontal line representing the VIX threshold value.

Summary:
The strategy aims to take advantage of specific entry days while filtering trades based on VIX levels to ensure market conditions are favorable. Risk management is enhanced through stop-loss and take-profit settings, which help in controlling potential losses and securing profits. The strategy ensures trades are only made on trading days and not on weekends, adjusting automatically to the next Monday if needed.
