ADX, Stochastic RSI, and CCI Dynamic-Band Strategy

Summary

This strategy combines ADX, Stochastic RSI, and CCI into a composite line, then calculates upper and lower thresholds from its recent range. It enters long when the composite crosses above the lower threshold and enters short when it crosses below the upper threshold, closing the opposing position as it switches direction. The document presents this as a way to blend trend strength, overbought or oversold readings, and price deviation from an average.

The source and description have an important limitation: although the prose says the indicators are normalized, the code averages ADX, Stochastic RSI scaled by 100, and raw CCI directly. Their different scales may let CCI dominate the composite, so the claimed balanced contribution is not established by the implementation. The document lists daily ETH/USDT backtest settings but no performance results. It flags lag, frequent signals in sideways markets, and parameter sensitivity, and proposes volatility filters, ADX thresholds, dynamic settings, and stop losses as possible improvements rather than tested features.

Key ideas

• The strategy forms a composite from ADX, Stochastic RSI, and CCI, then derives thresholds from a rolling range.
• Crossing above the lower threshold triggers a long entry, while crossing below the upper threshold triggers a short entry.
• The source combines indicators on different scales despite the description's claim of normalization.
• The daily ETH/USDT backtest settings include no reported performance evidence.
• Lag, range-bound conditions, and sensitive parameter choices may undermine the signals.
