RSI and Stochastic Signals Filtered by Heikin-Ashi and Moving Averages

Summary

This strategy combines an RSI-based Stochastic oscillator with Heikin-Ashi candle changes and a moving-average trend filter. It seeks longs when the oscillator turns up from oversold and the Heikin-Ashi signal turns positive, provided the moving averages and price indicate an uptrend; shorts use the opposite oscillator and candle conditions with a downtrend filter. The source also closes positions when price crosses a recent ten-bar high or low boundary.

The document describes configurable oscillator thresholds and moving-average periods, and discusses false signals, transaction costs from frequent trading, and exposure during sustained declines. It recommends parameter evaluation and improved risk controls. Although a BTC/USDT futures test period is listed, no returns, drawdowns, or other results are reported. The prose mentions slippage-based stop and take-profit handling, but the supplied implementation does not clearly define that method, and its exit rules differ from the prose description.

Key ideas

• The entry signal combines RSI-derived Stochastic crosses with Heikin-Ashi direction changes.
• Moving-average ordering and price location filter trades according to the broader trend.
• The implementation exits using recent price extremes rather than a clearly specified slippage model.
• Frequent signals can increase trading and slippage costs, and oscillator readings can be false.
• The published test settings provide no performance evidence.
