KST Momentum Oscillator Crossover Strategy

Summary

This document presents a trading system based on the Know Sure Thing (KST) momentum oscillator. It calculates four rates of change over different lookback periods, smooths them with moving averages, then combines them using progressively larger weights for the longer lookbacks. A moving average of the combined KST value serves as its signal line.

The strategy enters long when KST crosses above the signal line and short when it crosses below. The published parameter inputs specify ROC lookbacks of 10, 15, 20, and 30, with a signal smoothing length of 9. Backtest settings identify BTC/USDT futures, hourly bars, and a stated test period; the document provides no results or analysis of performance. The source includes a commission assumption and permits pyramiding, but supplies no explicit stop-loss, exit, or regime filter beyond the opposing crossover. As a result, the notes describe the signal construction rather than establish profitability or robustness across markets.

Key ideas

  • KST combines four smoothed rates of change to represent momentum across different lookback horizons.
  • Longer lookbacks receive greater weights in the composite oscillator.
  • A moving average of KST acts as its signal line.
  • The strategy enters long on an upward KST signal-line crossover and short on a downward crossover.
  • The document gives backtest settings but reports no performance evidence or dedicated risk controls.
