EMA Trend Filter with RSI Pullback Entries

Summary

This strategy combines a fast 10-period EMA, a slow 200-period EMA, and a short-period RSI. It describes long entries when price is above the slow EMA, closes below the fast EMA, and RSI recovers from an oversold reading. Short entries reverse those conditions: price is below the slow EMA, closes above the fast EMA, and RSI falls back from an overbought reading. Positions close when price crosses back through the fast EMA.

The document explains the intended trend-following and pullback logic, but its description is inconsistent: it also discusses fast and slow EMA crossovers, which the source rules do not use as entry conditions. Published backtest settings specify BTC/USDT futures over a short interval, but no performance results are supplied. The document flags lagging signals, RSI divergence, and parameter sensitivity, and recommends testing parameter changes and position sizing. Its broad claims of stable performance are not supported by reported evidence.

Key ideas

• The strategy uses the 200-period EMA to classify the broad price trend.
• Long entries require an oversold RSI recovery while price remains above the slow EMA and below the fast EMA.
• Short entries use the mirrored conditions in a downtrend.
• Positions close when price crosses the 10-period EMA in the adverse direction.
• The written discussion of EMA crossovers does not match the stated entry rules in the source.
