Dual EMA and RSI Trend Confirmation Strategy

Summary

This strategy combines an 8-period and a 24-period exponential moving average with a 7-period RSI to identify directional opportunities. It reads a rising or falling EMA spread as a trend cue, then requires RSI confirmation before opening a long or short position. The RSI thresholds are adjusted by a configurable threshold parameter, with low readings used for long entries and high readings for short entries.

The document explains the indicator logic and suggests tuning parameters, adding filters, and using stop losses and transaction costs in risk planning. It does not report measured performance or present backtest results, despite giving a short BTC perpetual futures backtest configuration. The source logic checks whether the EMA spread is increasing or decreasing rather than explicitly detecting a fast/slow EMA crossover, and its RSI conditions pair low readings with longs and high readings with shorts. Those details may affect how the strategy behaves in practice. The document also flags lag, missed trades, and losses as limitations.

Key ideas

• The strategy uses an 8-period and a 24-period EMA to assess directional momentum through changes in their spread.
• A 7-period RSI must also meet a threshold condition before a position is opened.
• Long entries require a low RSI reading, while short entries require a high RSI reading.
• The document recommends tuning parameters and accounting for stops and trading costs.
• No performance statistics are provided, and lagging signals can still produce losses or missed opportunities.
