SSL Channel Reversals Filtered by Stochastic RSI

Summary

This document combines an SSL Channel trend state with Stochastic RSI thresholds to generate long and short entries. The channel uses moving averages of highs and lows; a change in its state marks a directional signal. The published defaults use a 200-period SMA channel, while a second, shorter channel is disabled. Stochastic RSI uses 14-period RSI and stochastic windows with 3-period smoothing for K and D. The strategy code pairs channel changes with oversold readings for longs and overbought readings for shorts, and sets the order quantity to 20 units.

The stated Binance ETH/USDT futures backtest spans December 2021 to November 2022 on a five-minute period with one-minute base data. No performance results are provided, so the document offers no evidence of profitability. Its displayed take-profit and stop-loss values are both set to 10,000, described as effectively disabling those exits; this leaves risk control unclear. The entry conditions also have mixed logical grouping, so the Stochastic RSI filter may apply differently to the two channel signals. Validate the actual implementation and risk settings before drawing conclusions.

Key ideas

• The SSL Channel changes state when price crosses its moving-average bands.
• Stochastic RSI thresholds are combined with channel changes to time long and short entries.
• The default setup enables a long-period channel and disables the second channel.
• The published backtest settings specify ETH/USDT futures on a five-minute period, but report no performance results.
• Very large exit thresholds make the stated take-profit and stop-loss controls effectively inactive.
