Combining Williams %R, MACD, and EMA for Trend-Filtered Entries

Summary

This strategy combines Williams %R, MACD, and a 55-period EMA to filter directional entries. The written description calls for a long when Williams %R rises out of oversold territory, MACD crosses upward, and price is above the EMA; the short setup reverses those conditions. The stated defaults include a 14-period Williams %R, MACD lengths of 12, 26, and 9, a 2% stop, and a 1.5 reward-to-risk multiple.

The document offers rules and parameter values, but no reported performance results. Its published test settings cover SOL/USDT on Binance at one-minute intervals from February 19 to 23, 2025. The strategy description warns that multiple confirmations can delay entry, that sideways markets can produce false signals, and that slippage and parameter sensitivity matter. There is also a material discrepancy: the prose describes exits as fixed stop and target percentages, while the source code appears to pass price levels into exit arguments expressed as distances. The implementation should be checked before relying on those exits.

Key ideas

• Williams %R, MACD, and the EMA are used as joint entry filters.
• The EMA condition aligns entries with the prevailing price trend.
• The stated risk settings use a 2% stop and a 1.5 reward-to-risk multiple.
• The published test covers a short one-minute SOL/USDT interval but reports no results.
• The exit logic in the source code may not implement the prose description as intended.
