Multi-Timeframe TEMA Crossovers for Trend Entries and Exits

Summary

This strategy uses TEMA crossovers on two timeframes to set direction and time trades. A higher timeframe crossover establishes a bullish or bearish bias, while a lower timeframe crossover triggers entries and exits. The settings allow long-only, short-only, or two-way trading, with configurable fast and slow lengths and a selectable higher timeframe.

The document outlines the rules and suggests tuning the timeframes and TEMA lengths, testing them across instruments, and considering momentum or volatility filters. Its evidence is descriptive: it provides a strategy specification and published backtest settings for BTC/USDT futures, but reports no performance results. The source also requests higher-timeframe data with lookahead enabled, which can expose future information in historical calculations and make backtest signals unreliable. TEMA crossovers can lag or reverse during short-term corrections, and the document does not define a separate volatility-based position sizing method.

Key ideas

• A higher-timeframe TEMA crossover sets the strategy’s directional bias.
• A lower-timeframe crossover triggers entries and closes positions when its direction reverses.
• The strategy supports long-only, short-only, and two-way configurations.
• TEMA length and timeframe choices affect responsiveness and should be evaluated across instruments.
• The published settings do not include performance results, and the source’s lookahead setting may compromise historical signal validity.
