Combining 123 Price Reversals with the KST Oscillator

Summary

This strategy combines a short-term closing-price reversal pattern with a weighted rate-of-change oscillator. The reversal component looks for a two-step change in closing prices and filters candidates with a Stochastic oscillator; the KST component weights smoothed rates of change across several lookback periods. A long or short position is taken only when the reversal direction agrees with the sign of the KST measure, and conflicting signals close positions. The published settings include a BTC/USDT futures test over roughly one month, but no performance results are provided.

The document describes the approach as a way to combine reversal timing with trend confirmation and lists parameter sensitivity, lag, and failed reversals as risks. The source logic also makes clear that the Stochastic conditions are specific thresholds and crossovers, so the prose's general reversal description does not fully specify the actual signal. The strategy remains unvalidated by the supplied evidence; stop losses and further testing are suggested rather than demonstrated.

Key ideas

• The reversal component uses recent closing-price changes to identify potential turning points.
• Stochastic conditions filter the reversal signals.
• The KST direction is derived from weighted, smoothed rates of change across multiple periods.
• Trades require agreement between the reversal signal and the KST direction.
• The document provides test settings but no evidence of profitability.
