RSI and EMA Momentum Signals with Equity-Based Position Scaling

Summary

This strategy combines a 14-period RSI condition with a fast 2-period RSI crossover and the alignment of 50-, 100-, and 200-period EMAs. The written rules seek long entries when the medium RSI is low, the fast RSI turns upward, and the EMAs are bearishly ordered; short entries use the opposite RSI extremes and bullish EMA ordering. RSI extremes, together with a favorable position price, are used for take-profit exits. Initial trade size is calculated from account equity and stated leverage, while later entries can double the current position.

The document lists a one-week BTC/USDT futures backtest configuration but gives no performance results. It flags 20x leverage, position doubling, ranging-market signals, lagging EMA confirmation, and the absence of a stop loss as risks. The prose calls this a multi-timeframe method, but the provided setup uses one chart timeframe with indicators calculated on that series. It suggests adding stop losses, position caps, volatility filters, or adaptive parameters; none is evaluated here.

Key ideas

• The entry rules combine 2-period and 14-period RSI conditions with 50-, 100-, and 200-period EMA ordering.
• RSI extremes and favorable price movement define the described take-profit conditions.
• Initial position quantity is based on account equity and stated 20x leverage.
• Subsequent entries can double the existing position, which may magnify losses.
• The source has no stop-loss rule, and the listed short BTC/USDT test has no reported results.
