Combining High-Low Extremes, Moving Average Alignment, and Supertrend

Summary

This strategy combines a cumulative high-low measure, aligned moving averages, and Supertrend to generate directional entries. The high-low component tracks whether price reaches a period high or low; the moving-average component scores price and averages across a ladder of lengths. Changes in the rolling scores indicate bullish or bearish direction. A long entry is triggered when both scores strengthen bullishly while Supertrend points down, and a short entry uses the opposite combination. Positions are closed when Supertrend changes direction.

The source allows different moving average types and configurable lookback and Supertrend settings, and includes published BTC/USDT futures backtest dates. No performance results are supplied, so the stated benefits of signal confirmation and risk control are not demonstrated. False signals, parameter sensitivity, and fast reversals remain concerns; the prose recommends further filtering and stop adjustments, but does not test those proposals.

Key ideas

• The high-low measure scores recent price extremes, while aligned moving averages represent directional structure.
• The strategy combines changes in both scores with Supertrend direction to time entries.
• Supertrend direction changes are used to close positions.
• The source exposes moving average, lookback, and Supertrend parameters.
• Backtest settings are given, but no results demonstrate the strategy’s effectiveness.
