Summary

This Bitcoin strategy combines three short-period simple moving averages with directional and volatility filters. Its listed settings include moving average lengths of 5, 15, and 25; an ADX length of 20 with a threshold of 15; a pivot-based ATR band; a cloud length of 30; and a volume filter using a multiplier of 1.8 over 30 periods. The source supports long entries when the moving average, volume, and positive ADX conditions align and the cloud does not indicate a short signal. A close-based exit condition is also used.

The published backtest configuration names BTC/USD on Bitfinex and covers January 2020 to April 2022, with daily strategy bars and an hourly base period. However, the supplied source is truncated, so key calculations and exit rules cannot be fully reconstructed. No performance results are included. The settings describe a trend-filtering approach, but they are not evidence that it is profitable or robust.

Key ideas

  • The strategy combines moving averages, ADX, volume, and cloud conditions to filter trend entries.
  • Its settings include a pivot-derived center and ATR bands, though the relevant source is incomplete.
  • A long entry requires aligned moving average and volume conditions, positive ADX direction, and no short cloud signal.
  • The published backtest configuration uses BTC/USD on Bitfinex from January 2020 to April 2022.
  • The truncated source and lack of reported performance prevent evaluation of its full rules or results.
