Combining Technical Indicators with Signal Confluence and Performance Tracking
Summary
The document describes a configurable engine that combines up to 11 common indicators into long or short signals. Users can require every enabled indicator to agree or allow any one of them to trigger. The indicators include moving average crossovers, RSI, MACD, Supertrend, stochastic, Bollinger midline, Awesome Oscillator, Parabolic SAR, CCI, and ADX. Optional ATR-based stop, target, and trailing-stop rules manage simulated positions, which may also close or reverse on an opposite signal.
A separate virtual trade book tracks each indicator's standalone results, while dashboards report component status and performance measures such as win rate, trade count, profit factor, and cumulative PnL. The proposed uses include auditing filters, comparing indicator combinations, and changing parameters for visual comparisons. These figures are explicitly described as frictionless simulations without spread or slippage, so they can help compare configurations but cannot establish realistic profitability. The document offers no independent validation of the strategy or evidence that past component results will persist.
Key ideas
- The engine combines enabled indicator votes using either all-components agreement or any-component triggering.
- Optional ATR-based stops, targets, and trailing stops manage simulated positions.
- Separate virtual trade books provide per-indicator performance records alongside combined-strategy statistics.
- The document recommends comparing components and configurations on the instrument and timeframe being considered.
- Its performance figures omit spread and slippage, limiting their value as estimates of live trading results.
