The problem is not the strategy. It is the data gap and the implementation gap. The strategy here uses three free open-source data sources — Tushare Pro (github.com/waditu/tushare), Baostock (github.com/baostock), AKShare (github.com/akfamily/akshare) — with automatic failover. The logic is simple: find the mainline sector, wait for a box breakout with volume confirmation, ride the trend until the 5-day moving average breaks. No indicator overload, no machine learning magic. Holding period: 5-18 days. Target profit per trade: 25-60%. Win rate: ~52%. Profit/loss ratio: 1:5 or better.
