Renko Trend Reversals with a Modified Supertrend

Summary

This dual-direction trend-following approach uses Renko charts and a modified Supertrend indicator to identify reversals. A sensitivity factor adjusts the indicator, while a trend state switches bullish or bearish when price crosses the relevant trailing band. A change in that state triggers a long or short entry. The description also mentions pyramiding, allowing positions to grow as a trend continues.

The document outlines the logic and risks but offers no quantified evidence supporting its performance claim. The published backtest settings specify BTC/USDT futures, hourly bars, and a 15-minute base period over December 2023. The text cautions that weakening trends may cause repeated reversals, pyramiding can magnify losses, and drawdown is not bounded by the described rules. It recommends limiting additions, controlling per-trade risk, testing sensitivity across markets, and adding stop-loss or entry filters. The source’s exit calls do not specify stop or profit levels, so the description does not establish a complete exit plan.

Key ideas

• The strategy enters when the modified Supertrend trend state changes direction on Renko data.
• A factor parameter controls indicator sensitivity and may affect signal frequency.
• Pyramiding can increase exposure during continuing trends and magnify losses during adverse moves.
• The published test uses BTC/USDT futures with hourly periods and a 15-minute base period.
• The described source does not set concrete stop or profit exit levels.
