Multi-Factor RSI, MACD, TD Sequence and Bollinger Band Reversal Strategy

Summary

This strategy combines RSI, MACD histogram conditions, a TD-style count based on closes relative to earlier closes, and Bollinger Bands to generate contrarian entries. It opens a position only when the RSI, MACD, and count conditions align and the price has not crossed the corresponding outer band. Positions are managed with a trailing profit exit and an optional fixed loss limit. Despite its momentum-rotation label, the document characterizes the approach as mean-reverting and warns that it may struggle during persistent advances.

The material explains the intended rules and risks but reports no performance results. The published test uses BTC/USDT futures over a short period, while the prose refers to stock rotation, so asset applicability is unclear. It also proposes parameter tuning, liquidity and volatility filters, market-wide stress measures, and alternative holding periods. Such changes require out-of-sample testing: the document does not establish that combining indicators improves accuracy or that the trailing exits control losses reliably.

Key ideas

• Entries require several indicator conditions to align before a long or short position is opened.
• The signal logic is contrarian, using RSI, MACD histogram, a sequential count, and Bollinger Band context.
• Trailing profit exits are included, while the fixed loss limit is optional.
• The document warns of poor results in persistent bull markets, high turnover, slippage, and stop penetration.
• No performance evidence is reported, and the short futures test does not resolve the stated stock focus.
