I published a paper on Improvements to Intraday Momentum Strategies Using Parameter Optimization and Different Exit Strategies, for which I used the TWS API for live validation:
Abstract
Building on the results of Zarattini, C., Aziz, A., & Barbon, A. (2024). Beat the market: An effective intraday momentum strategy for S&P500 ETF (SPY), we explore improvements to noise boundary based intraday momentum strategies by investigating different exit strategies and applying parameter optimization to all parameters of the strategies. We show that the returns of the momentum strategy can be significantly improved by such an approach. The best results are achieved with exits based on VWAP, VWAP & Ladder and Ladder exit strategies, with Sharpe ratios over 3.0 and annualized returns of over 50%, which are significant improvements against the baseline strategy.
All feedback welcome
