Combining Supertrend, Daily MACD Slope, and RSI Signals

Summary

This strategy combines Supertrend direction changes with MACD signals calculated from daily data, while RSI contributes additional exit signals. Entries require agreement between Supertrend and MACD direction. The MACD component uses the slope of its line over a configurable lookback, checks that the slope exceeds a threshold and continues in the same direction, and also tracks histogram zero crossings. RSI readings above 80 or below 20 can trigger closing signals. The published example settings specify a one-hour base chart and daily MACD data for BTC-USDT futures over a stated date range.

The description argues that combining indicators may filter some noisy entries, but it provides no performance statistics or comparison demonstrating that benefit. It also identifies risks from conflicting signals, RSI exits occurring too early or late, and thresholds missing weaker moves. The source’s handling of signals and its prose are not fully consistent in places, so its direction rules merit careful verification before use. Suggested improvements include stop-loss rules, volatility-adjusted slope thresholds, volume checks, and parameter tuning; tuning itself may overfit.

Key ideas

• Entries require aligned Supertrend and MACD direction signals.
• The MACD filter evaluates slope magnitude and direction over configurable lookbacks.
• RSI extremes and MACD changes provide closing signals.
• The example settings use daily MACD data with a one-hour base period for BTC-USDT futures.
• The document gives no measured results and notes risks from conflicting signals and parameter choices.
