Long-Only Support Breakouts with a Quantum Harmonic Moving Average

Article Strategy library · Author: ianzeng123

Summary

This long-only strategy identifies dynamic support from recent pivot lows and enters when the closing price crosses above the latest support level. It uses a custom Quantum Harmonic Moving Average (SHMA) as an exit reference: the described calculation combines a reciprocal-price average, a sine-based oscillation term, exponential smoothing, and an adjustable correction. A percentage stop is available, while take-profit behavior can either close the trade immediately or wait for price to cross below SHMA.

The document describes configurable support, SHMA, and exit parameters and provides a daily Bitcoin futures backtest setup, but no performance results. Its claims that the custom indicator improves sensitivity are not substantiated by comparative evidence. Pivot-based levels can produce false breakouts, and a long-only system may struggle in falling markets. Parameter selection also risks lag or overfitting; the suggested filters and volatility-based stops are proposals rather than tested findings.

Key ideas

  • Recent pivot lows define a changing support level, with an upward close crossing used as the long entry trigger.
  • SHMA combines a base average with a smoothed oscillation adjustment and serves as a conditional exit reference.
  • The strategy uses percentage-based stop and take-profit rules, with an option to wait for SHMA confirmation after a profit target is reached.
  • False breakouts, parameter sensitivity, and long-only exposure limit the method; the document provides no performance results.
