Heikin Ashi Rate of Change Percentile Crossover Strategy

Summary

This strategy computes rate of change (ROC) from a smoothed Heikin Ashi close series, then compares ROC with upper and lower thresholds derived from recent extremes and percentiles. Crossing above the lower threshold opens a long position and crossing below the upper threshold closes it; the same crossings govern short entries and exits in reverse. The script includes a stop-loss input, although the described trade rules do not clearly show how it is applied.

The document presents the method as a way to combine smoothed prices and momentum with threshold-based filtering. It provides BTC/USDT futures backtest settings for a one-month period, but no performance figures or comparison are given. Results may depend heavily on the ROC length and threshold lookbacks, and trend reversals can still cause losses. The written description also calls the method percentile-based, while the thresholds use recent ROC highs and lows as inputs, so the precise threshold construction merits careful review before implementation.

Key ideas

• The indicator applies ROC to a smoothed Heikin Ashi close series.
• Recent ROC extremes feed upper and lower threshold calculations.
• Crossings of those thresholds define long and short entries and exits.
• The document reports backtest settings but provides no outcome statistics.
• Parameter sensitivity and trend reversals are key limitations.
