[...] depending on the phase angle. We define an uptrend when the CorrelationAngleÆs state ôflatlinesö at 1 for 2 bars (or -1 for a downtrend). The logic is simple. An uptrend switches the system into trend following mode, with entries and exits made via channel breakout. If permitted, short trades are done in the same manner in a downtrend -- yet with a shorter lookback period for the channel. An absense of trend directs the system to take cyclic trades: buying small dips and selling at the high of the channel. Here [...]
