Dual ATR Channel Trend Strategy with Multi-Indicator Confirmation

Summary

This trend-following method uses a Kijun baseline to define direction and an ATR envelope to avoid entries when price has moved beyond the channel. Aroon crossovers trigger candidate entries, while MACD, RSI, and Parabolic SAR confirm direction. Longs are filtered out above the upper band and shorts below the lower band.

The described risk controls include a stop stated as 0.5 ATR, a 0.5% profit target, and optional exits on an opposing Aroon crossover. The document provides parameter defaults and a Binance BTC/USDT futures backtest configuration covering a short period, but reports no performance statistics or results. It warns that stacked confirmations can delay entries, tight stops can cause repeated exits, and parameter fitting may not carry over to live markets. The source settings also make the opposing-signal exit optional and disabled by default, so the written description does not necessarily match the configured behavior.

Key ideas

• The Kijun baseline crossover and Aroon crossover form the directional entry signal.
• MACD, RSI, and Parabolic SAR can each confirm the proposed trade direction.
• An ATR channel blocks longs above its upper edge and shorts below its lower edge.
• The stated stop and profit target are paired with an optional opposing-signal exit.
• No backtest performance results are reported, and the default settings disable the optional exit.
