Multi-Timeframe EMA Filtering with Stochastic RSI Entries

Summary

This scalping strategy combines a higher-timeframe trend filter with a lower-timeframe momentum trigger. It compares price with the previous completed values of three configurable higher-timeframe EMAs, using their alignment to permit only long or only short trades. Within that direction, a crossover of the smoothed Stochastic RSI lines triggers an entry, and the script allows a position only when it is flat.

ATR sets stop and target distances: the documented defaults use a stop at 1.5 ATR and a target at 3 ATR, a nominal two-to-one reward-to-risk relationship. The article frames the method for crypto futures and suggests testing it on selected assets and timeframes, but the script itself is not limited to that market. No backtest results or comparative evidence are supplied. The examples and claims about trend confirmation therefore describe the design rationale, not demonstrated profitability; results will depend on timeframe, costs, and execution assumptions.

Key ideas

• The strategy uses three higher-timeframe EMA readings to define a directional filter.
• It uses a Stochastic RSI K and D crossover on the chart timeframe as its entry trigger.
• It opens a new trade only when no position is currently held.
• ATR-based exits use configurable stop and target multiples, with documented defaults of 1.5 and 3.0.
• The document reports no performance results, so the approach requires asset and timeframe specific evaluation.
