Swing Trading Entries with SMA, RSI, and MACD Signals

Summary

This strategy combines long and short simple moving average crossovers with RSI and MACD conditions. A long entry follows either a bullish crossover of the 50-period and 200-period averages or an oversold RSI reading paired with a bullish MACD crossover. Exit signals use the reverse crossover or an overbought RSI reading with a bearish MACD crossover. The script also plots the averages, pullback markers, RSI, and MACD for chart review.

Position management applies a minimum holding period before signal-based closes and before fixed percentage take-profit and stop-loss orders become active. The code defines a pullback marker using a rolling closing-price high and a threshold, but that marker does not control entries. The listing reports one trade and a small gain followed by a decline, which is far too little evidence to establish performance. The holding-period calculation uses elapsed milliseconds, so its meaning depends on chart timestamps; the script also offers no market-specific validation, transaction-cost analysis, or broader backtest results.

Key ideas

• Long entries use either a bullish crossover of the short and long moving averages or an oversold RSI with a bullish MACD crossover.
• Short-side conditions are calculated for exits, while the strategy itself only opens long positions.
• Signal exits and fixed percentage exits are delayed until the minimum holding period has elapsed.
• The pullback condition creates a visual marker but does not participate in the entry rules.
• The listing's single reported trade is insufficient to assess the strategy's reliability.
