BTC/USDT Ichimoku Strategy with Cloud, Kijun and RSI Signals

Summary

This 45-minute BTC/USDT strategy combines Ichimoku-style price signals with an RSI trigger. It can use Heikin Ashi candle data, then compares price with a 26-period Kijun line and the projected cloud boundaries. Long entries require a Kijun crossover with price above both cloud spans, while corresponding bearish conditions can close the long. Crosses against the lagging span and RSI recovery or decline signals provide additional entry and exit routes; the lagging-span signals are limited by counters tracking recent opposing conditions.

The document provides the indicator rules and a Pine strategy implementation, but no performance results. Its release note says earlier Heikin Ashi backtests were incorrect and explicitly cautions that the strategy is not profitable. The script takes long positions and closes them; it does not define short entries. Its historical settings and indicator thresholds are configurable only in part, and the stated caveat makes independent testing essential.

Key ideas

• Long entries combine a Kijun crossover with price above both cloud spans.
• Lagging-span crosses can trigger trades when the opposing signal counter is within its specified window.
• RSI triggers require a threshold cross, confirmation relative to Tenkan, and a recent momentum condition.
• The strategy uses Heikin Ashi data by default, but its author warns that this caused incorrect earlier backtests and says the strategy is not profitable.
