NoroBands Momentum Signals with RSI and Price Extremes

Summary

This strategy combines a price channel, trend state, candle behavior, short-term RSI, and position-aware entry rules. It builds a center line from the highest and lowest prices over a configurable lookback, then forms bands using the average distance of price from that center. A trend state changes when price moves beyond the bands. Long conditions include signals in an uptrend, unusually weak short-term RSI, or adding to a position under specified rules; short conditions use downtrend signals and position-aware additions. Optional switches control use of color bars, RSI, price extremes, and pyramiding.

The overview describes ATR bands and RSI thresholds, but the supplied source instead calculates its bands from price-channel distance and uses a fast RSI with different thresholds in the coded long conditions. Short RSI reversal logic is commented out. The document flags parameter sensitivity, delayed response to trend changes, fees, and slippage, and suggests stops and multi-timeframe checks. Its BTC/USDT futures backtest settings span about a year, but no results are reported.

Key ideas

• The source builds price bands around the midpoint of a lookback high-low channel.
• Trend state changes when price moves beyond the inner channel bands.
• Long entries can arise from trend, low-RSI, or position-aware conditions, with optional pyramiding.
• The prose description of ATR bands and RSI thresholds does not fully match the supplied source logic.
• Backtest settings are provided without performance results.
