EMA Crossover Signals Confirmed by RSI and MACD

Summary

This trend-following approach combines fast and slow exponential moving averages (EMAs) with RSI and MACD confirmation. It signals a long entry when the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA, RSI is above 50, and the MACD line is above its signal line. The reverse conditions—a downward EMA cross, RSI below 50, and MACD below its signal—close the long and open a short.

The document gives defaults of 9 and 21 periods for the EMAs and 14 for RSI; MACD uses its conventional 12, 26, and 9 settings in the source. RSI overbought and oversold inputs are included but do not affect the stated signal rules. The published backtest setup is for DOGE/USDT futures on daily bars from January to April 2025, with no performance results supplied. The description identifies range-bound false trades, parameter sensitivity, transaction costs, and slippage as limitations; it specifies no stop-loss or take-profit method.

Key ideas

• A fast EMA crossing above a slow EMA is confirmed by RSI above 50 and bullish MACD.\nThe opposite EMA, RSI, and MACD conditions trigger a short entry and close the long.\nRSI overbought and oversold inputs are present but not used in the source signal conditions.\nThe listed DOGE futures backtest window has no reported performance results.\nRange-bound markets, costs, and slippage may weaken results.
