Multi-Timeframe RSI Breakout Strategy with Swing-Level Stops

Summary

This strategy combines 3-minute swing levels with 1-minute entry confirmation. It identifies a local peak above a 60-period EMA, then records a dip after price moves below the EMA and has a sequence of declining candles. A long signal requires a bullish 1-minute candle to break the stored peak, an upward-sloping 180-period EMA, and RSI above its nine-period average and rising. The recorded dip serves as the exit level.

The document describes the rules and discusses possible refinements, including volatility-aware parameters, trading filters, ATR-based stops, profit targets, and position sizing. It provides a short ETH/USDT futures backtest configuration, but no performance results, so it does not establish profitability. The framework is long-only as described and may be sensitive to its chosen timeframes and indicator settings. Dip-based stops can be wide, while fast reversals and repeated signals may create losses or excessive exposure. The source logic and prose also differ in how they describe entries and stop handling, so the implementation should be checked before relying on the stated behavior.

Key ideas

• The strategy identifies swing peaks and corrective dips using 3-minute price data and a 60-period EMA.
• A 1-minute long entry requires a bullish breakout, an upward-sloping EMA, and rising RSI confirmation.
• The stored dip is used as a protective exit level, though its distance may expose a trade to substantial risk.
• The document offers no performance statistics, and the configured backtest period alone does not validate the strategy.
