Stochastic RSI Entries Filtered by Moving Averages and VWAP

Summary

This BTC/USDT futures strategy uses Stochastic RSI threshold crossovers to time entries. It goes long when the oscillator crosses above 30, provided the 9-period simple moving average is above the 21-period average and price is below VWAP. It goes short when the oscillator crosses below 70, with the moving-average relationship reversed and price above VWAP. The indicator settings include a 14-period lookback and smoothing inputs, while the backtest settings cover a short one-minute sample in September 2023.

The description says the moving averages and VWAP are intended to filter false signals, and that the approach is better suited to trending conditions than range-bound markets. It mentions a 20-tick stop and a 25-tick profit target, but these exits appear only as commented-out source lines, so the supplied implementation does not place those orders. No performance statistics are provided. Results from the brief published interval, even if supplied, would not alone establish robustness across market regimes or execution conditions.

Key ideas

• Long entries require Stochastic RSI to cross above 30, a rising short-versus-long SMA relationship, and price below VWAP.
• Short entries require the oscillator to cross below 70, a falling SMA relationship, and price above VWAP.
• The stated stop and target distances are not active in the supplied strategy source.
• The document cautions that range-bound markets may be unfavorable and provides no measured performance results.
