Combining Moving Average Crossovers with Stochastic RSI Signals

Summary

The strategy description combines 20- and 50-period simple moving averages with Stochastic RSI. The moving-average crossover is presented as a trend-direction signal, while Stochastic RSI crossing above the oversold threshold or below the overbought threshold is used to time entries. The parameters also include a 14-period Stochastic RSI and a 2% risk allocation. The document proposes applying this combination to BTC/USDT and discusses tuning indicator and exit settings.

The claimed test is described as using a three-minute timeframe, but the published backtest metadata specifies a daily period with a one-hour base period. The source logic also does not use the moving-average crossover in its entry conditions: it opens a long position on the Stochastic RSI buy signal and uses that indicator's sell signal to place an exit. Although position sizing is calculated, the source does not pass that size into the entry order. No detailed performance statistics are supplied, so the performance claims are difficult to assess.

Key ideas

• The described setup uses a short and long simple moving average to represent trend direction.
• Stochastic RSI threshold crossings are used to identify potential entry and exit points.
• The published description and backtest metadata give different test timeframes.
• The source code's trade conditions do not use the moving averages or calculated position size.
