Moving Average Crossovers Filtered by RSI Extremes

Summary

This strategy pairs a fast and slow simple moving average with an RSI threshold filter. A bullish crossover generates a long entry only when RSI is below the stated oversold threshold; a bearish crossover closes that long only when RSI is above the overbought threshold. The example settings use 10- and 50-period averages and a 14-period RSI, with the oversold level set at 50. The code does not open short positions, despite some of the prose discussing bearish positioning.

The document frames the combination as a way to align trend changes with potentially stretched conditions, but provides no reported performance evidence. Its published BTC/USDT futures test spans only a short period and has no results. Risks include whipsaws, trading costs if signals become frequent, and sensitivity to parameter choices. The suggested research directions include testing different settings, using volatility-based stops, and validating across market conditions; these ideas are proposals rather than demonstrated improvements.

Key ideas

• A long entry requires a fast-over-slow moving average crossover and RSI below its oversold threshold.
• The stated exit requires a bearish crossover while RSI is above its overbought threshold.
• The implementation closes long trades but does not open short positions.
• No performance results are reported, and the example backtest covers a limited period.
• Whipsaws, trading costs, and parameter sensitivity are important risks to assess.
