EMA Crossovers Filtered by Volume and Reversal Patterns

Summary

This strategy combines 9- and 21-period EMA crossovers with a volume condition, a price check against the fast EMA, and a candle-based reversal pattern. A long signal requires an upward EMA crossover, current volume above a threshold relative to the average of the previous five candles, a close above the 9-period EMA, and the specified upward pattern. The short setup mirrors these conditions with a downward crossover, close below the fast EMA, and downward pattern. The volume requirement is phrased as current volume being more than roughly 1.18 times the five-candle average.

The document supplies BTC/USDT futures backtest settings for January through early May 2022, but states no performance results. The code opens long or short entries and leaves exit rules commented out, so the described entry filters do not by themselves specify a complete trade-management plan. The pattern tests use a small sequence of closing prices and may not represent broader candlestick definitions. No evidence is provided that the filters improve results or generalize beyond the stated backtest setup.

Key ideas

• The strategy uses 9- and 21-period EMA crossovers to establish trade direction.
• Entries also require elevated volume, a close relative to the fast EMA, and a price-sequence reversal pattern.
• The volume condition compares the current candle with the average volume of the previous five candles.
• The source includes entry rules but leaves suggested exit conditions inactive.
• Backtest settings are provided for BTC/USDT futures, but no performance results are reported.
