MACD and RSI Reversals Filtered by Price Range and Volume

Summary

This proposed reversal system combines MACD crossovers, RSI extremes, smoothed price bands, and a volume check. A long signal requires a bullish MACD crossover while RSI is below its oversold level, price is below the lower band, and volume exceeds its moving average. A short signal applies the opposite conditions: bearish crossover, overbought RSI, price above the upper band, and above-average volume. The bands use an EMA of price and a smoothed measure of absolute price changes.

The document lists default indicator settings and a BTC futures backtest period, but provides no returns, trade statistics, comparison, or transaction cost analysis. The strategy code enters positions on signals but does not specify stop-loss or take-profit exits. The text cautions that strict filters can miss trades, ranging conditions can produce costly signals, and indicator settings may not transfer across markets. It recommends testing parameters and adding explicit risk controls before practical use.

Key ideas

• Long entries require a bullish MACD crossover, oversold RSI, price below the lower range band, and volume above its average.
• Short entries require the opposite crossover and RSI extreme, price above the upper band, and elevated volume.
• The range bands combine an EMA price center with a smoothed measure of price changes.
• The supplied strategy code defines entries but does not specify stop-loss or take-profit exits.
• The document offers no backtest performance results and identifies missed opportunities and trading costs as concerns.
