EMA Crossovers with RSI Thresholds and 30-Minute Trend Filters

Summary

The document presents a BTC futures strategy combining EMA crossovers, RSI conditions, and a 30-minute trend filter. Its stated approach uses EMA13 and EMA26 to define direction, checks whether price is above or below the 30-minute EMA5 and EMA10, and uses RSI overbought or oversold readings to refine entries. It also describes bullish and bearish RSI divergence as a reversal signal. The published settings specify a 2-hour chart with 15-minute base data over April 2024, but provide no performance results.

There is a material difference between the explanation and the included strategy logic: the code’s divergence conditions check price crossing EMA13 together with RSI crossing an overbought or oversold threshold; they do not compare successive price and RSI highs or lows. In addition, crossover entries and divergence entries can be submitted independently of the described combined filters. The document flags false signals, lag during trend changes, and sensitivity to parameters and unexpected market moves. It suggests testing filters and risk controls, but does not demonstrate that these changes improve results.

Key ideas

• EMA13 and EMA26 crossovers are used to indicate trade direction.
• The described entry filters combine 30-minute EMA conditions with RSI extremes.
• The code’s named divergence signals use EMA and RSI threshold crosses rather than conventional swing divergence.
• The stated backtest settings do not include performance evidence.
