EMA, MACD, and RSI Trend Strategy with Staged Exits

Summary

This BTC futures strategy combines fast and slow EMA direction with MACD crossovers and RSI thresholds to trigger long and short entries. It places a fixed stop 5% from entry, takes partial profit at 8%, and uses a second target initially set at 12% that is adjusted after the first target using the observed high or low. ATR informs position sizing, with stated caps on trade risk and position value.

The document describes the rules and parameter defaults but supplies no performance results. It identifies possible repeated stop-outs in volatile or sideways markets, missed trades from combining filters, and slow exits during reversals. The source also leaves practical details unclear: for example, the displayed strategy logic does not show an explicit calculation for the partial exit quantity, and its state flags may not always reflect executed orders. The approach therefore needs careful implementation review and testing before its risk controls can be relied on.

Key ideas

• EMA alignment, MACD crossover, and RSI thresholds jointly determine entries.
• The strategy uses a fixed percentage stop and staged profit targets.
• ATR-based sizing is subject to stated risk and account exposure limits.
• Ranging markets, sharp reversals, and restrictive filters may impair results.
• The document provides no backtest performance evidence.
