Intraday Supertrend Strategy with Session-Based Exits

Summary

This strategy uses Supertrend to take intraday long or short positions. A close above the indicator line signals long, while a close below signals short; entries are allowed only during a user-defined trading session. The indicator’s multiplier and ATR period are configurable. When its direction changes, the description says the strategy reverses with double quantity, and any open position is closed after the session ends.

The document provides example settings for a BTC/USDT futures backtest, but reports no performance results. The supplied strategy logic supports session-restricted entries and a session-end close; it does not show a separate double-quantity reversal rule. Supertrend may produce poor signals with unsuitable settings or during choppy markets, and reversals increase trading costs. Forced exits can also realize losses. The document suggests parameter tuning, stop losses, and trend filters, but does not test those changes or establish that the strategy controls risk effectively.

Key ideas

• The strategy uses a close above or below Supertrend to determine long or short direction.
• Entries are restricted to a configurable intraday session, and open positions are closed after it ends.
• The indicator’s ATR period and multiplier are adjustable.
• The document gives backtest settings but no performance results, and the supplied logic does not show the described double-quantity reversal rule.
• Choppy conditions, reversal costs, and forced session-end exits can undermine results.
