Dual MACD and StochRSI Signals with Trend Filters

Summary

This strategy combines a faster MACD with a slower MACD, optionally calculated on a separate interval, and uses StochRSI as an additional timing filter. The stated long setup aligns positive readings from both MACD calculations with an upward trend condition and a StochRSI crossover in an oversold region. The short setup mirrors those conditions with negative MACD readings, a downward trend condition, and a crossover in an overbought region. A loss threshold is present in the implementation, though exit and position management are limited.

The document provides indicator settings and a brief BTC futures backtest configuration, but no outcome statistics. Its prose describes the system as using cross-timeframe confirmation, while the code’s trend checks are simple price-ratio comparisons and its StochRSI conditions are not clearly expressed in the same terms as the prose. MACD lag, threshold selection, and fixed risk controls can affect results. Further testing should clarify signal behavior and examine dynamic stops, sizing, and execution costs.

Key ideas

• A fast and slow MACD are used together to filter directional signals.
• StochRSI crossovers near specified threshold zones provide an additional timing condition.
• The implementation allows separate calculation intervals for the second MACD and StochRSI.
• The code and explanatory signal description are not fully aligned, so the rules need validation.
• The document reports settings but no evidence of profitable performance.
