Ichimoku Crossovers with Bollinger Band and RSI Entry Filters

Summary

This strategy pairs Ichimoku Tenkan and Kijun line direction with Bollinger Band price breaks and RSI thresholds. The described entry rules seek long positions when price is above the upper band, Tenkan is above Kijun, price crosses above the band basis, and RSI remains below an overbought threshold; short entries reverse these conditions. The intended effect is to combine trend direction with unusual price movement and an RSI filter.

The document also describes exits using Bollinger conditions and a zero crossing of a proximity oscillator, alongside stated stop and profit percentages. It lists a BTC/USDT futures test configuration for about one year, but offers no performance statistics. The written overview and supplied logic do not fully align: the overview emphasizes Tenkan/Kijun crosses and oscillator exits, while the code uses additional price-cross conditions and implements exits conditionally. This makes the exact behavior and claimed risk controls less clear. The strategy may also produce false signals in ranging markets and depends on parameter choices.

Key ideas

• Tenkan and Kijun line alignment supplies the directional filter.
• Bollinger Band breaks and RSI conditions are combined to form entries.
• The described exit logic uses band conditions and a proximity oscillator crossing zero.
• The document gives test settings but no measured results.
• The narrative and code differ in places, so the precise entry and exit behavior is ambiguous.
