Moving Average Trend Entries with Dynamic Long Re-Entry

Summary

This buy-only strategy uses a fast and slow moving average crossover for initial entries, with optional weekly Commodity Channel Index and Average Directional Index filters. It exits a long position when the close falls below a third, longer moving average. After an exit, it can re-enter when price is above all three averages and weekly CCI is above its stated threshold. The described filters and re-entry rules therefore combine trend direction with momentum or trend-strength conditions.

The document provides example moving-average lengths, filter settings, and a published BTC/USDT futures backtest period, but it reports no results. It identifies whipsaws, extended holding periods, and overly frequent trading from poor parameter choices as risks. Suggested improvements include testing parameter combinations, adding stop losses, and managing position size. The strategy’s long-only design avoids short positions but still faces losses when the market declines; the document’s claims about capturing excess returns are not backed by supplied performance evidence.

Key ideas

• An upward fast-over-slow moving average crossover can trigger a long entry, subject to optional weekly CCI or ADX filters.
• The strategy exits when the close drops below a third, longer moving average.
• It can re-enter when price is above all three averages and weekly CCI exceeds its threshold.
• Whipsaws, prolonged exposure, and parameter sensitivity are listed as risks.
• Published backtest settings are provided, but no performance results are reported.
