Multi-Indicator Trend Signals with Fixed Stops and Targets

Summary

This document describes a rules-based strategy that combines a fast and slow EMA crossover with RSI and MACD momentum checks, a Supertrend direction filter, and Bollinger Bands. Long and short entries require the respective EMA cross, aligned RSI and MACD readings, a matching Supertrend direction, and price positioned relative to the bands. The prose also mentions VWAP, but the code calculates and plots it without using it in the entry conditions.

For exits, the code sets a stop at 0.5% and a target at 1% from the entry signal’s close. The published test setup uses SOL/USDT Binance futures on an hourly interval from January to May 2025, but provides no reported returns or other performance measures. The document flags overfitting, sensitivity to indicator settings, conflicting signals, and fixed stops that may not suit changing volatility. Its proposed improvements include volatility-aware exits, multi-timeframe confirmation, and position sizing, which would need independent testing.

Key ideas

• Long and short entries require agreement among EMA crossover, RSI, MACD, Supertrend, and Bollinger Band conditions.
• The implementation calculates VWAP but does not include it in the entry rules.
• Stops and profit targets are set at 0.5% and 1% from the signal close, respectively.
• The published SOL/USDT futures test setup includes a period and interval but no performance results.
• Fixed indicator thresholds and exits may be vulnerable to overfitting, parameter sensitivity, and changing volatility.
