Combining Ichimoku, MACD, and Hull MA Signals for Range Trading

Summary

This strategy combines Ichimoku levels, MACD, and fast and slow Hull moving averages to identify entries and exits. Long entries require the Hull averages to indicate an upward move, price above the slower Hull average, MACD above its signal line, and either Tenkan-sen above Kijun-sen or price above Kijun-sen. Short entries use the inverse conditions. Exit rules combine Hull direction and price position with at least one opposing MACD or Ichimoku condition.

The document provides parameter settings and backtest configuration for BTC-USDT futures, but no performance results or evidence that the rules are profitable. It describes the approach as suited to oscillating markets, while also warning that choppy price action can produce false signals and that reversal-focused rules may miss sustained trends. It identifies parameter sensitivity and potentially low trade frequency as further limitations. The source logic is more specific than the overview: the Ichimoku crossover is not a standalone required confirmation, and several Ichimoku lines are plotted without being used in the entry rules.

Key ideas

• Long and short entries require aligned Hull average, price, and MACD conditions, with an additional Ichimoku check.
• The exit rules combine price and Hull position with at least one opposing momentum or Ichimoku condition.
• The strategy uses Ichimoku periods of 9, 24, and 51, MACD lengths of 12, 24, and 9, and a Hull period of 12.
• The published BTC-USDT futures configuration gives no backtest performance results.
• Choppy markets, parameter choices, missed trends, and infrequent signals are stated risks.
