Dual VWAP Trend Signals with Bollinger and TSV Filters

Article Strategy library · Author: ChaoZhang

Summary

This BTC futures strategy combines fast and slow VWAP based trend lines with a breakout and volume confirmation. It builds the trend lines from VWAP calculations and rolling high-low midpoints, then derives Bollinger Bands from the average of the fast and slow lines. A long entry requires both lines to be rising, the close above the upper band and VIDYA, and TSV to be positive and above its EMA. The accompanying overview also describes RSI filters, but the visible entry and exit rules in the source do not use RSI or a moving average crossover. The visible exit rule closes a long when both trend lines fall, or when the configured date range ends.

The document provides parameter inputs and a published BTC_USDT futures backtest configuration, but no performance results, trade statistics, or comparative evidence. It identifies false breakouts, sensitive parameters, and overfitting as risks, and suggests walk-forward analysis and stop losses. The settings and source also differ on the date range, so reported configuration details should be checked before reproducing the strategy.

Key ideas

  • The strategy combines fast and slow VWAP derived lines to represent short and long term direction.
  • A long entry requires rising trend lines, a close above the Bollinger upper band and VIDYA, and positive TSV above its EMA.
  • The visible source does not implement the RSI conditions described in the overview.
  • The source closes a long when both trend lines decline or the configured date window ends.
  • The document warns that parameter sensitivity and insufficient testing can lead to false signals or overfitting.
