Combining MACD, RSI, and Ichimoku for Long Trend Entries

Summary

This strategy combines MACD, RSI, and Ichimoku components to seek long entries in directional markets. The written description calls for bullish MACD conditions, price above the cloud, and RSI below an overbought threshold; it exits on a bearish MACD crossover or a close below the cloud. The source also allows an option that changes the exit into a short entry, and it includes a Tenkan-sen/Kijun-sen crossover as an independent entry trigger.

The document lists conventional starting lengths for the Ichimoku lines, MACD, and RSI, and gives a BTC/USDT futures backtest configuration covering about a year, but no performance statistics. The code’s Ichimoku calculations use simple averages of high plus low and do not match the standard midpoint construction described by the indicator, while the date inputs are not applied to the entry logic. The text identifies conflicting signals, ranging markets, and sudden events as risks, and suggests parameter testing and explicit risk controls.

Key ideas

• The described long setup combines bullish MACD, price above the Ichimoku cloud, and RSI below 70.
• The written exit rules use a bearish MACD crossover or a move below the cloud.
• The source adds a Tenkan/Kijun crossover as an independent entry condition.
• The Ichimoku calculations in the source differ from standard midpoint formulas.
• Published BTC/USDT futures settings provide no performance results.
