Combining SMA Crossovers, MACD, RSI, and Pattern Signals

Summary

This proposed system combines a short and long simple moving average crossover with MACD confirmation, RSI thresholds, approximate chart-pattern signals, and a resistance level based on recent closing prices. Its stated long entry requires the short average to cross above the long average while MACD is bullish; exits can use resistance, bearish MACD, or pattern conditions. The document describes double tops, double bottoms, and head-and-shoulders patterns as additional signals, and gives a BTC/USDT futures backtest period spanning several years, without reporting performance results.

The source has material gaps relative to that description: its New York session flag is always true, so it does not filter by session, and the pattern rules are simple equality checks on rolling highs or lows. RSI exit logic and signal conditions also do not consistently match the narrative. The document acknowledges lag, parameter sensitivity, false signals in ranging markets, and pattern-recognition errors. Its proposed weighting, adaptive parameters, and broader validation remain untested suggestions.

Key ideas

• The stated trend entry combines an upward short-versus-long SMA crossover with bullish MACD.
• The described system adds RSI thresholds, approximate chart patterns, resistance levels, and a session filter.
• The source sets its session flag permanently true, so the implementation does not enforce the described time restriction.
• Pattern detection uses simple comparisons of rolling highs and lows and may generate unreliable signals.
• Backtest settings are provided, but no strategy performance results are stated.
