Combining Moving Average, Parabolic SAR, MACD, and RSI Signals

Summary

The document describes a simple indicator that marks a buy condition when price is above its 200-period moving average and Parabolic SAR, MACD is nonnegative, and 14-period RSI is at least 50. Its sell condition reverses those relationships. The author presents the signals as configurable components for strategy testing and explains how to display them as colored histogram outputs with a zero reference line.

The indicator only identifies when its conditions are met; it does not define entries, exits, stop losses, trailing stops, or profit targets. The author suggests testing it with a trailing stop but provides no backtest results or evidence to support the profitability claim. Traders would need to specify those rules and evaluate the combined strategy on suitable data before drawing conclusions. The thresholds are examples rather than universal settings, and the document does not identify an asset class or timeframe for applying them.

Key ideas

• The buy signal requires price above a 200-period moving average and Parabolic SAR, nonnegative MACD, and RSI at or above 50.
• The sell signal uses the opposite relationships for price, MACD, and RSI.
• The signal indicator does not specify complete entry, exit, stop-loss, or profit-taking rules.
• The document provides no backtest evidence for its suggestion to test a trailing stop.
