Combining a 123 Reversal Signal with a Prime Number Oscillator

Summary

This dual-factor strategy combines a short-term reversal signal with a prime number oscillator intended to indicate directional bias. The reversal component uses recent closing-price changes and fast and slow stochastic readings to generate long or short signals. The oscillator searches for nearby prime numbers around the current price and uses the difference to assign a direction. A trade is taken only when both components point the same way; conflicting signals result in no new position, and a neutral combined signal closes existing positions.

The document explains the signal logic and lists adjustable stochastic and oscillator settings. Its published test configuration uses BTC/USDT futures with 15-minute bars over roughly one week in late 2023, but no performance statistics are supplied. That short test window cannot demonstrate robustness or profitability. The prime-number calculation and the claimed risk benefits are not validated with evidence here. Signal agreement can filter some trades, but it can also leave the strategy out of the market, and the description identifies missing stop-loss and position-sizing controls as areas for improvement.

Key ideas

• The strategy combines stochastic-based 123 reversal signals with a prime number oscillator.
• The oscillator assigns direction based on the nearest prime number above or below price within a tolerance.
• Trades are entered only when both components agree, while a neutral combined signal closes positions.
• The published BTC/USDT futures test covers a short period and reports no performance statistics.
• The document identifies absent stop-loss and position-sizing rules as limitations.
