Multi-Timeframe Trend Scoring with RSI, MACD, and ATR Exits

Article Strategy library · Author: ianzeng123

Summary

This strategy combines moving average direction across hourly, four-hour, and daily charts into a weighted trend score, giving more influence to longer timeframes. Long and short entries also require price to be on the corresponding side of the hourly fast average, RSI to confirm direction, and MACD to agree with the signal.

Risk controls use ATR-based stops and staged exits: part of the position is targeted at a nearer profit level, while the remainder has a farther target and a trailing stop. Position sizing is tied to account equity and capped by a stated per-trade risk limit. A dashboard displays the averages, score, and suggested direction. The document describes a strategy framework, but supplies no performance results. It flags reversal losses, range-bound whipsaws, parameter sensitivity, and delayed entries as limitations, and recommends historical testing and further filters.

Key ideas

  • A weighted score combines fast and slow moving average relationships across three timeframes.
  • Entry signals require trend alignment plus confirmation from price, RSI, and MACD.
  • ATR sets stop distances and staged profit targets, with a trailing stop for the remaining position.
  • Range-bound markets, reversals, and parameter choices can undermine the strategy; no performance evidence is provided.
