Dual Smoothed Stochastic Bressert Signals and Risks
Summary
This document describes a strategy attributed to William Blau that smooths a stochastic oscillator twice, then compares it with an additional EMA trigger line. The stated method first smooths the price stochastic, smooths that result again, and uses the relationship between the resulting indicator and trigger line alongside overbought and oversold thresholds to set long or short positions. The parameters include lookback and smoothing lengths, threshold levels, and an option to reverse trades.
The document explains that smoothing is intended to reduce noisy signals, while warning that it can delay entries and that low volatility may still produce false signals. It suggests parameter tuning, additional filters, stop losses, and position management as possible safeguards. Published test settings refer to BTC USDT futures over a short historical period, but no performance statistics or results are provided. The notes therefore describe the signal logic rather than establish its effectiveness; live outcomes may depend on market conditions, parameter choices, and execution.
Key ideas
- The method smooths a price stochastic and then smooths the result again with an EMA.
- A second EMA acts as a trigger line for comparing against the dual smoothed oscillator.
- Long and short signals depend on the trigger relationship and overbought or oversold thresholds.
- Additional filtering and position management are suggested to address lag and false signals.
- Published test settings are given, but the document reports no measured strategy performance.
