EMA Crossover Signals with RSI Context and Entry Filters

Summary

The document describes an EMA-based trading approach with short-, medium-, and long-period averages, plus RSI and candle-based filters. Its overview says a fast EMA crossing a slower EMA triggers directional signals, while candle-body comparisons and a close beyond an entry level are intended to screen entries. It also outlines percentage-based position sizing and suggests adaptive averages, extra filters, and stop-loss or take-profit rules as possible additions.

The published settings specify a BTC/USDT futures backtest over roughly a year, but no performance results are reported. The supplied strategy source does not fully match the prose: its orders use EMA crossovers or separate price-crossing conditions, while RSI, the third EMA, and the position-size input do not affect those orders. It contains no stop-loss logic, so the document offers a strategy outline rather than evidence of profitability. EMA crossovers can lag and whipsaw in sideways markets.

Key ideas

• The overview uses fast and slow EMA crossovers to indicate long and short directions.
• Candle-body size and price relative to an entry level are described as additional signal filters.
• The source defines RSI and a third EMA, but neither is used in its order conditions.
• The source contains no stop-loss rule, leaving trade losses without an explicit exit limit.
• The stated BTC/USDT futures backtest settings include no reported performance results.
