BCH Short Strategy Fading Overbought RSI Spikes with DCA

Summary

This short-only strategy for BCH perpetual futures seeks to fade overbought price spikes. Its entry signal is a 9-period RSI on a five-minute timeframe crossing down through 80. After the initial short, it can add up to three averaging orders at fixed percentage steps above the base entry, with the default spacing and order sizes uniform. The exit logic aims for profit below the average entry, using a trailing retracement, while a hard stop is placed above that average.

The document supplies implementation parameters, trading assumptions, and a date window, but the excerpt does not include backtest results or evidence that the settings are profitable. Averaging into a short as price rises increases exposure during adverse moves, and the stated stop distance permits significant losses relative to the profit target. Performance may also depend on fills, fees, slippage, and market conditions. The parameters are presented as defaults for a particular BCH perpetual market, so they should not be treated as broadly validated settings.

Key ideas

• A short entry is triggered when five-minute RSI crosses down through 80.
• The strategy permits up to three averaging orders above the initial short entry.
• Its profit exit trails after price moves below the average entry, with a hard stop above it.
• Averaging into a rising market increases exposure before the stop is reached.
• The excerpt gives configuration details but no performance results.
