摘要

Abstract

Aiming at China's A-share market challenges—individual investors (over 60% of participants) have an annual median return as low as -8.7% due to high-frequency trading and emotional decisions

plus limitations of existing technical indicator strategies—this paper explores stock trading strategies combining MACD and RSI. Based on multi-indicator combination advantages

it proposes a "trend-momentum synergy" logic and constructs a composite strategy with dynamic parameter adjustment: buy when MACD golden cross and RSI rebounds from ≤30 (oversold); sell when MACD death cross and RSI retreats from ≥70 (overbought). RSI threshold adjusts dynamically with historical volatility (HVIX >20% sets 25-75)

and a 1-2 trading day signal buffer is added to avoid chasing rallies/selling on dips. Backtesting with CSI 300 constituents (2015-2025) via Python shows that after deducting transaction costs

the strategy's annualized return significantly outperforms average retail investors and standalone MACD/RSI/buy-and-hold approaches

with turnover ≤200% and superior risk control in bull/bear/sideways markets.
