BTC Strategy Combining Weekly Pivot Breakouts and RSI Signals

Summary

This BTC strategy combines weekly pivot levels with an RSI-derived signal to enter long and short positions. It calculates pivot support and resistance from the prior higher-timeframe bar, then opens a short when the previous close crosses above the calculated third resistance. The long entry uses a crossover of a transformed RSI series and its smoothed value. Users can choose long, short, or both directions.

The script sets a percentage-based stop and divides exits across four profit targets, with configurable quantities for the first three exits. Published settings describe a three-month test on BTC using four-hour bars and a 15-minute base period, but the document gives no performance results. The code also uses higher-timeframe values with lookahead enabled, which can expose the strategy to future data in historical calculations. Its rules, costs, and test window therefore do not establish that the approach is profitable or robust.

Key ideas

• The strategy derives pivot support and resistance from the prior bar on a configurable higher timeframe.
• A transformed RSI crossover supplies the long entry signal, while a close crossing above third resistance triggers a short entry.
• The script supports long-only, short-only, or two-sided trading.
• A stop loss and four staged profit exits are configurable as percentages of average entry price.
• The published test settings cover BTC over a short historical window, and no performance statistics are reported.
