Combining Supertrend Direction Changes with RSI Exit Thresholds

Summary

This strategy uses changes in Supertrend direction to initiate trades and RSI thresholds to help close them. A direction change triggers a long or short entry, depending on the enabled side. Long positions can close when RSI rises above its exit level, while short positions can close when RSI falls below its exit level; a reversal in Supertrend also provides an exit condition. The listed defaults enable long entries and disable short entries. The published setup uses BTC/USDT futures data, with hourly strategy bars and 15-minute base data.

The document presents the indicators as complementary tools for trend changes and stretched price moves, but it supplies no backtest results or evidence for claims of stable returns or controlled drawdowns. Both indicators can give false signals, and Supertrend is sensitive to its ATR settings. The text recommends parameter tuning, additional filters, dynamic stops, and position sizing as possible risk controls, without showing that these changes improve performance.

Key ideas

• Supertrend direction changes supply the strategy’s entry signals.
• RSI thresholds can close positions, while a Supertrend reversal also exits them.
• The published defaults allow long entries and disable short entries.
• False signals and sensitivity to indicator settings are stated risks.
• The document offers no performance measurements supporting its claims.
