| dc.description.abstract | In this study, I explored the application of the Donchian Channel in the gold ETF (GLD) trading strategy, and investigated how to improve its performance by incorporating the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicators. I analyzed the basic mechanisms of the Donchian Channel and how RSI and MACD, as momentum indicators, influence trading decisions.
My research findings indicate that while the RSI and MACD indicators offer limited enhancement to the effectiveness of the Donchian Channel strategy, incorporating stop-loss orders and increasing trade volume can significantly augment the profitability of the strategy. However, the variation of trends can also notably affect the profitability of the Donchian Channel, especially evident in a bull market.
Nevertheless, my research also cautions investors that, even when utilizing technical indicators such as the Donchian Channel, they must be fully aware of the risk of trend variations, particularly in more volatile markets like the GLD ETF. Furthermore, my study is subject to some limitations, such as not taking into account all possible market factors and situations, which could potentially impact the performance of the Donchian Channel. | en_US |
