Gaussian Channel and StochRSI Breakout Trend Strategy

Summary

This strategy combines a Gaussian-filtered price channel with StochRSI to seek long entries during upward trends. It calculates a smoothed price line and a volatility-based band from a selected price source. Reduced-lag and fast-response options adjust the filter’s responsiveness. A long signal requires the filter to rise, price to move above the upper band, and StochRSI to be in an extreme zone; the position closes when price crosses back below the upper band.

The document describes the rules and parameters and provides published daily BTC/USDT futures backtest settings covering roughly one year. It gives no performance results from that test, so the strategy’s profitability is not established. The stated risks include filter delay, whipsaws and transaction costs in ranging markets, sensitivity to parameter choices, and possible calculation delays. The rules are long-only and do not specify a stop-loss method; the document suggests adaptive parameters and additional filters as possible refinements.

Key ideas

• The strategy smooths price and true range with a multi-pole Gaussian filter to create a volatility-scaled channel.
• Reduced-lag and fast-response modes offer ways to alter filter responsiveness.
• Long entries require a rising filter, a close above the upper band, and an extreme StochRSI reading.
• The exit occurs when price crosses below the upper band.
• The document outlines risks but supplies no backtest performance results.
