StochRSI Threshold Crossovers with Trailing Exits

Summary

This strategy uses StochRSI to identify extreme momentum readings and generate long or short entries. It calculates RSI, applies a stochastic transformation, and smooths the resulting K and D lines. A cross of K above the oversold threshold triggers a long entry, while a cross below the overbought threshold triggers a short entry. The described defaults include RSI and stochastic lookback periods, K and D smoothing, extreme thresholds, a trailing take-profit setting, and a stop-loss setting. Although the overview mentions RSI as a signal filter, the supplied active entry rules rely on K crossing the thresholds; separate RSI-filter conditions appear only in commented code.

The document explains the indicator logic and risk controls but provides no backtest results or evidence that the claimed filtering improves outcomes. It cautions that StochRSI can produce false signals and that thresholds and exit distances require market-specific tuning. The published backtest configuration concerns a limited BTC futures interval, which does not establish performance across other periods or markets.

Key ideas

• StochRSI applies a stochastic calculation to RSI and smooths it into K and D lines.
• A K-line cross above the oversold threshold opens a long, while a cross below the overbought threshold opens a short.
• The active rules pair entries with a trailing exit and a stop-loss setting.
• The stated RSI filtering is not part of the active entry conditions shown in the source.
• No performance results are supplied, and thresholds and exits may need adjustment across markets.
