Combining 123 Reversal Signals with Filtered Momentum

Summary

This strategy combines a 123 reversal signal with a filtered momentum measure. The reversal component uses consecutive rising or falling closes alongside fast and slow stochastic values around a threshold. The momentum component removes price changes below a filter threshold, then compares the net filtered change over a lookback window with the total absolute filtered change. A trade is signaled only when both components agree. The document describes long and short rules and gives example indicator settings.

The rationale is that the reversal rules may identify turning points while filtered momentum may reduce noise; agreement is intended to screen trades. No performance statistics or comparative test results are provided. The published backtest configuration covers BTC_USDT futures over a short period, so it does not establish the strategy’s reliability. The document itself flags risks from relying on one timeframe, fixed parameters, missed opportunities from requiring confirmation, and false signals. It suggests adaptive settings, additional timeframe checks, stop losses, and position management, but does not specify or validate those additions.

Key ideas

• The strategy combines a 123 reversal rule with a filtered momentum indicator.
• The reversal rules use consecutive closes and fast or slow stochastic conditions to signal direction.
• The momentum measure excludes price changes below a threshold before comparing net movement with total movement.
• Trades are taken only when the reversal and momentum signals agree.
• The document gives no evidence that the combination improves returns, and notes risks from fixed parameters and limited timeframe analysis.
