Supertrend Entries Filtered by RSI and ADX

Summary

This document describes an automated strategy centered on Supertrend direction changes, with RSI and ADX conditions intended to filter entries. Its narrative says a downward turn combined with fading bullish momentum triggers a short, while an upward turn closes that position. The published Pine source instead opens a long when Supertrend direction changes downward and several RSI readings and ADX exceed specified thresholds; an upward direction change closes the long. Thus, the implementation shown does not match the narrative’s short-selling description.

The source includes ATR length and factor settings, plus ADX and directional-movement lengths. The published test configuration identifies BTC/USDT futures and a date range, but the document gives no performance statistics. It explicitly identifies the lack of a stop-loss mechanism as a risk and suggests parameter tuning, trailing stops, additional filters, and developing corresponding long-side rules. Those suggestions do not establish that the strategy is profitable or that its filters reliably prevent false signals.

Key ideas

• Supertrend direction changes define the strategy’s entry and exit framework.
• RSI and ADX conditions are used as additional signal filters.
• The published source opens long positions, despite the narrative describing short entries.
• The described implementation has no explicit stop-loss mechanism.
• A BTC/USDT futures backtest period is specified, but no results are reported.
