Combining RSI, Parabolic SAR, ADX, and Bands for Reversal Signals

Summary

The document presents a crypto futures reversal strategy that combines RSI, parabolic SAR, ADX, and a Bollinger-style band calculation. Its prose describes using fast and slow moving averages to identify direction, RSI extremes to mark overbought or oversold conditions, SAR placement to confirm a reversal, and ADX to filter for trend strength. It proposes 10% position sizing and closing positions when a signal fails.

The supplied script does not fully match that description: it calculates bands and uses them with RSI, SAR, and an ADX condition, but does not calculate the advertised dual moving averages. The prose calls for ADX above 20, while the script uses a threshold below 18.5. It also closes positions after a fixed signal delay rather than implementing the described failure-based stop. The document provides parameter and BTC/USDT futures backtest settings, but no performance results. Its claims of accuracy and reliability are unsupported; the conflicting rules and short stated backtest window limit what can be inferred.

Key ideas

• The prose combines moving-average direction with RSI extremes, SAR position, and ADX as reversal filters.
• The script instead uses band touches alongside RSI, SAR, and an ADX threshold that conflicts with the prose.
• The document proposes using 10% of equity per position and exiting after a delayed signal condition.
• It recommends tuning indicator periods and stop settings, but reports no measured performance.
