Moving Average Trend Filters with Stochastic RSI Signals

Summary

This strategy combines two simple moving averages with Stochastic RSI. A Stochastic RSI cross upward through an oversold threshold creates a buy signal, while a cross downward through an overbought threshold creates a sell signal. The stated approach uses the faster average above the slower average to confirm long entries, aiming to align reversal-style oscillator signals with the broader trend. The document also describes risk-based sizing and stop and target levels.

The text presents this combination as a way to filter signals, but provides no test results to show whether it does so in practice. Although it gives a BTC/USDT futures backtest configuration, it says the strategy was optimized for foreign exchange, creating uncertainty about how the described settings transfer across markets. The accompanying source calculates the moving averages but does not apply them to its entry conditions; it also calculates a position size without using it in the order and does not implement the described trailing stop. Sideways markets, sharp moves, and gaps may undermine its signals or exits.

Key ideas

• The strategy combines two moving averages with Stochastic RSI threshold crossings.
• The described long confirmation requires the faster moving average to be above the slower one.
• The document proposes risk-based sizing and stop and target levels, while its source does not implement all of these described rules.
• The published test setup is for BTC/USDT futures, but no performance statistics are provided.
