RSI, ADX, and Ichimoku Filters for Moving Average Trend Signals

Summary

This strategy combines a moving average crossover with ADX, RSI, and Ichimoku Cloud filters. It describes long entries when price is above the cloud and a faster average crosses above a slower one, and short entries when price is below the cloud and the crossover points down. ADX is intended to screen for stronger trends, while RSI is used as an additional signal filter. The published test settings specify BTC/USDT futures over a stated period, but the document provides no performance results, so they do not establish profitability.

There is a meaningful discrepancy between the prose and the source logic: the described RSI conditions are opposite to the conditions actually used in the code. The source also calculates Ichimoku-like lines with simple averages, so implementation details differ from standard Ichimoku calculations. The document flags parameter sensitivity, false signals in choppy or volatile markets, and trading costs. It suggests ATR-based stops, position sizing, and tests across timeframes and instruments, but does not report validation of those changes.

Key ideas

• The strategy combines moving average crossovers with ADX, RSI, and cloud-position filters.
• The stated trend-strength filter requires ADX to be above 20.
• The prose describes RSI confirmation conditions that differ from the conditions in the supplied source.
• The published BTC/USDT futures test settings include no performance statistics.
• Choppy markets, parameter sensitivity, slippage, and transaction costs are identified as risks.
