RSI, MACD, and Stochastic Signals with Percentage Exits

Summary

This strategy combines RSI, MACD, and Stochastic signals to generate directional trades, then sets profit targets and stop losses as percentages of average entry price. Its stated long condition requires all three indicator crossover signals, while the short condition requires RSI and MACD crossovers without a Stochastic crossover. The indicators are presented as momentum, trend, and overbought or oversold measures, with their agreement intended to filter potential reversal entries.

Despite the document's divergence framing, the specified signals are crossovers against smoothed indicator lines or between MACD and its signal line; they do not directly compare price and indicator swing highs or lows. The text acknowledges lag, false signals, overtrading, regime sensitivity, and the limitations of fixed percentage exits. It supplies strategy rules and parameter defaults but no performance evidence, and its broad claims of adaptability are not demonstrated. The proposed improvements include volatility-aware exits, volume and regime filters, and position sizing.

Key ideas

• Long entries require RSI, MACD, and Stochastic crossover signals to align.
• Short entries require RSI and MACD crossovers while the Stochastic condition is absent.
• Profit targets and stop losses are set as fixed percentages of average entry price.
• The described crossover rules do not directly measure conventional price-versus-indicator divergence.
• The document identifies lag, overtrading, and market-regime sensitivity but provides no performance results.
