Momentum Breakout Signals with a 200-Period SMA, MACD, and StochRSI

Summary

This strategy combines a long-term simple moving average with MACD and Stochastic RSI to define momentum breakout entries. It calls for a long position when price crosses above the moving average while MACD is positive and StochRSI is above its bullish threshold; the short setup mirrors those conditions below the average. The strategy also uses recent swing pivots to set dynamic profit targets and stops, with configurable buffers.

The script exposes indicator periods, entry thresholds, pivot lookback, and visual display options. Its listed strategy settings include equity-based sizing, commission, and slippage, but the provided document is truncated before the full entry and exit implementation. It gives a rule set rather than reported performance results, so there is no evidence here about profitability, robustness across markets, or sensitivity to the chosen settings. Pivot confirmation also depends on bars to the right of a candidate swing, which affects when a swing can be known in live use.

Key ideas

• The long setup requires an upward moving-average cross, positive MACD, and strong StochRSI.
• The short setup uses the corresponding downward cross and bearish indicator readings.
• Recent swing highs and lows provide dynamic target and stop references.
• The source is incomplete and reports no strategy performance.
