FRAMA and Dual Moving Average Crossover Strategy

Summary

This long-only strategy combines a crossover between a 13-period and a 26-period simple moving average with a Fractal Adaptive Moving Average (FRAMA). It opens a position when the faster average crosses above the slower one and the FRAMA is below the close. It exits when the slower average crosses above the faster average or when FRAMA crosses below the close. FRAMA adjusts its smoothing based on recent price ranges and volatility, aiming to respond differently as market conditions change.

The document describes the adaptive average as a potential noise filter alongside the trend-following crossover, while acknowledging that moving-average signals can whipsaw and that the additional adaptive parameters may increase overfitting risk. It also notes that the rules use price alone and suggests testing other periods, adding volume confirmation, and refining entry conditions. A one-year BTC/USDT futures backtest setup is specified, but no results are provided, so the strategy’s effectiveness cannot be assessed from the document.

Key ideas

• A long position opens when the 13-period simple moving average crosses above the 26-period average and the close is above FRAMA.
• The strategy exits on a bearish moving-average crossover or when FRAMA crosses below the close.
• FRAMA adapts its smoothing using recent price ranges and volatility.
• The document flags crossover whipsaws, potential overfitting, and the lack of volume filtering as limitations.
• The specified BTC/USDT futures backtest has no reported performance results.
