█ OVERVIEW

This strategy script demonstrates the application of the Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) ETF trading system presented in the article by Markos Katsanos titled "Is The Price REIT?" from TASC's June 2024 edition of Traders' Tips.


█ CONCEPTS

REIT stocks and ETFs offer a simplified, diversified approach to real estate investment. They exhibit sensitivity to interest rates, often moving inversely to interest rate and treasury yield changes. Markos Katsanos explores this relationship and the correlation of prices with the broader market to develop a trading strategy for REIT ETFs.

The script employs Bollinger Bands and Donchian channel indicators to identify oversold conditions and trends in REIT ETFs. It incorporates the 10-year treasury yield index (TNX) as a proxy for interest rates and the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) as a benchmark for the overall market. The system filters trade entries based on their behavior and correlation with the REIT ETF price.


█ CALCULATIONS

The strategy initiates long entries (buy signals) under two conditions:
1. Oversold condition
  • The weekly ETF low price dips below the 15-week Bollinger Band bottom, the closing price is above the value by at least 0.2 * ATR (Average True Range), and the price exceeds the week's median.
  • Either of the following:
    – The TNX index is down over 15% from its 25-week high, and its correlation with the ETF price is less than 0.3.
    – The yield is below 2%.

2. Uptrend
  • The weekly ETF price crosses above the previous week's 30-week Donchian channel high.
  • The SPY ETF is above its 20-week moving average.
  • Either of the following:
    – Over ten weeks have passed since the TNX index was at its 30-week high.
    – The correlation between the TNX value and the ETF price exceeds 0.3.
    – The yield is below 2%.

The strategy also includes three exit (sell) rules:
1. Trailing (Chandelier) stop
  • The weekly close drops below the highest close over the last five weeks by over 1.5 * ATR.
  • The TNX value rises over the latest 25 weeks, with a yield exceeding 4%, or its value surges over 15% above the 25-week low.

2. Stop-loss
  • The ETF's price declines by at least 8% of the previous week's close and falls below the 30-week moving average.
  • The SPY price is down by at least 8%, or its correlation with the ETF's price is negative.

3. Overbought condition
  • The ETF's value rises above the 100-week low by over 50%.
  • The ETF's price falls over 1.5 * ATR below the 3-week high.
  • The ETF's 10-week Stochastic indicator exceeds 90 within the last three weeks.

@samer800 great job like always, quick question, do you think is possible to add a arrow with the buy trend and end trend? also color candles, with a buy trend candle color cyan and stay that color until the next close signal, and magenta color with close trend and stay that color until next signal. thank you in advance

Great work @samer800, as always! Is it possible to create a scan that would show ETFs that are just starting the "Buy Trend" and the "Close Trend"?

Unfortunately no.
There is no way to identify and scan for only ETFs.

However, if you have a manual watchlist of the ETFs that you are trading; you can use this study in the Scan Hacker.

1. copy and save @samer800 latest version as a study.
https://usethinkscript.com/threads/reit-etf-trading-system-for-thinkorswim.19288/#post-145415

2. You scan filters are:
sigUp is true

or
sigDn is true
