EMA Breakouts Filtered by MACD, RSI, and ATR Exits

Summary

This strategy seeks medium- to longer-term trend entries by combining price crossings of several exponential moving averages with MACD and RSI filters. It counts recent crossings to identify choppy conditions, then looks for a close crossing an EMA with MACD confirming momentum and RSI within specified bands. Separate long and short conditions use different thresholds. ATR, calculated at a selectable resolution, sets stop and target levels for trades.

The document describes indicator rules and includes implementation details and BTC/USDT futures backtest settings, but reports no performance statistics. Its signals may lag, and tight stops can exit positions prematurely. Although the accompanying prose mentions parameter tuning and potential steady returns, the document does not establish those outcomes. The rules also depend on chosen lookback periods, thresholds, and ATR multipliers, so their behavior may change across markets and settings.

Key ideas

• Recent price crossings of multiple EMAs are counted to screen for choppy conditions.
• A candidate EMA breakout must also pass MACD direction and RSI range filters.
• ATR-based stops and targets define exit levels for long and short positions.
• Lagging indicators may miss early moves, while tight stops can exit prematurely.
• Backtest settings are provided, but no performance results are reported.
