Composite MACD, RSI, CCI, and Stochastic Signal Strategy

Summary

The document presents a composite strategy that combines MACD crosses with RSI, CCI, and stochastic conditions. A long signal requires MACD to cross above its signal line while RSI and CCI remain below their configured upper levels and the stochastic line is above its smoothed value. A short signal applies the reverse MACD and stochastic conditions, with RSI and CCI above their complementary thresholds. Signals close the opposing position and open in the new direction. The stated defaults include common MACD and RSI settings, a short CCI lookback, and smoothing for the stochastic calculation.

The published test configuration specifies BTC/USDT futures over December 2023, but provides no performance results. The prose calls the oscillator StochRSI, while the source calculates a conventional stochastic from price highs, lows, and closes. It also describes simultaneous agreement across all four indicators, although the implemented conditions use threshold bounds rather than identical directional tests for RSI and CCI. These differences matter when reproducing or evaluating the method. The document notes delayed entries and parameter overfitting risks, and suggests stops and position sizing, neither of which is implemented in the supplied logic.

Key ideas

• The strategy combines MACD crossovers with RSI, CCI, and stochastic conditions for entries and reversals.
• Long signals require a bullish MACD cross and stochastic confirmation while RSI and CCI satisfy upper-bound checks.
• The source uses a conventional price stochastic, despite the prose describing StochRSI.
• The published BTC futures backtest configuration includes no performance evidence.
• Delayed signals, parameter overfitting, and absent implemented risk controls are material limitations.
