Combining Dual Exponential Moving Averages with RSI Signals

Summary

This system combines a faster and slower exponential moving average with RSI to generate long and short entries. A long entry requires the faster average to exceed the slower one, price to be above both, and RSI to cross upward through the overbought threshold. A short entry uses the inverse average and price alignment with RSI crossing downward through the oversold level. The listed defaults set the EMA periods to 50 and 300, and RSI uses a nine-period calculation with thresholds derived from 70 and its complement.

Position exits include a percentage stop and additional conditions based on the moving-average relationship and price relative to the entry. The document lists a 1% stop parameter and a short BTC futures backtest window, but supplies no performance results. The description therefore does not establish profitability; the short sample, instrument, timeframe, and contract settings limit what can be inferred. The method also depends on lagging indicators and may behave differently across markets and parameter choices.

Key ideas

• Long entries require bullish EMA alignment, price above both averages, and an upward RSI threshold crossing.
• Short entries require bearish EMA alignment, price below both averages, and a downward RSI threshold crossing.
• The listed EMA periods are 50 and 300, and the RSI calculation uses nine periods.
• Exits combine a percentage stop with conditions tied to moving averages and entry price.
• The published backtest setup provides context but no performance evidence.
