Multi-Timeframe Ichimoku, MACD, and DMI Trend Signals

Summary

This strategy combines Ichimoku Cloud, MACD, and DMI signals to align trend direction and momentum across 15-minute, 1-hour, and 4-hour charts. Long entries require price above the cloud on those timeframes, bullish MACD and DMI readings on the 1-hour chart, and supporting MACD and DMI conditions on the 15-minute chart. Short entries apply the inverse conditions. The described exit occurs when the opposing signal set appears.

The document explains the indicator logic and lists potential refinements, but reports no performance results. It warns that timeframe signals can disagree, indicators lag, and sudden price moves require risk controls. The published configuration uses BTC/USDT futures over a short January 2024 period. There are differences between the prose and source: the source also calculates 5-minute indicators but does not use them in entries, uses a configurable ADX threshold whose stated default is below the prose threshold, and compares price with cloud Span A rather than the full cloud range.

Key ideas

• The strategy combines cloud position, MACD momentum, and DMI direction across several chart intervals.
• Long and short entries require aligned conditions on the 15-minute and 1-hour charts, with 4-hour cloud confirmation.
• The stated exit rule closes positions when the opposite signal conditions appear.
• No performance results are provided, and the document identifies lag, timeframe disagreement, and event risk as limitations.
• The source and prose differ on some implementation details, including the ADX threshold and cloud comparison.
