Combining Trend, Momentum, and Volume Filters for a Short-Term BTC Futures Bot

Summary

This short-term BTC perpetual futures bot combines trend, momentum, and volume signals to decide when to enter. The described filters include ADX, a range filter, Parabolic SAR, RSI, TWAP, Jurik moving average, MACD, cumulative volume delta, volume weighting, moving averages, and Stochastic. The author says ADX, range, TWAP, and moving averages help identify direction; SAR and RSI restrict entries during changing trends or overbought and oversold conditions; volume measures seek to avoid quiet markets; and Stochastic adds reversal sensitivity.

The document provides many configurable inputs and a published backtest setup using BTC/USDT futures, with stop-loss and take-profit parameters. It claims high profitable-trade and net-profit results but supplies no supporting metrics in the text. The author also notes that 15-minute systems are difficult to tune and sustain over time, and that results depend on exchange-specific volume indicators. The displayed test configuration uses a different bar interval, so the stated intended timeframe and published settings do not fully align. Costs and slippage are set to zero in the provided strategy header, limiting the test’s realism.

Key ideas

• The bot combines trend, momentum, volatility, and volume filters to select directional entries.
• Volume weighting is presented as a key filter for avoiding entries during flat conditions.
• RSI, SAR, and Stochastic are used to constrain entries or identify possible reversals.
• The document includes configurable exits and a futures backtest setup but no detailed performance evidence.
• Exchange-specific volume behavior, short test horizons, and zero modeled costs limit conclusions.
