Dual-Signal Trend Following with Stochastic and DiNapoli Filters

Summary

This strategy combines a 123-style reversal signal with a DiNapoli detrended oscillator condition. The reversal component looks for a close that turns after a two-day move and checks the fast and slow Stochastic lines against a threshold. The DiNapoli component compares price with its moving average and assigns a direction based on whether the deviation exceeds a trigger. The strategy acts only when both components agree, closing positions when there is no combined directional signal.

The document describes adjustable indicator inputs and publishes a short BTC futures backtest configuration, but reports no performance results. It also gives no evidence that the combination improves returns. Signals can lag or miss opportunities depending on parameter choices, and the source’s conditions and prose do not align fully on the direction of the Stochastic threshold checks. The document recommends parameter testing and risk controls such as stops; its trend-following rationale should therefore be treated as a proposal for evaluation, not a demonstrated outcome.

Key ideas

• The strategy requires the 123-style reversal and DiNapoli components to signal in the same direction before entering.
• The reversal component combines recent closing-price movement with fast and slow Stochastic comparisons.
• The DiNapoli component uses price deviation from a moving average to determine direction.
• The document warns that signals may lag and recommends stops and parameter testing.
• A BTC futures test period is specified, but no performance results are reported.
