Three RSI Trend Signals with Moving Average Bands

Summary

This strategy applies moving averages to three RSI series with different lookback periods to identify longer-term trend conditions. For each RSI series, it calculates averages over several horizons, then treats a broadly rising configuration as bullish and a broadly falling configuration as an exit signal. The stated trading approach opens a full-size long position on a buy signal and closes it on a sell signal. The document’s source code uses simple averages and defines the longer RSI groups as signal inputs, though its implemented conditions are not fully consistent with the overview’s claim that all three groups jointly confirm each trade.

The document explains the indicator setup and gives a BTC/USDT futures backtest configuration, but provides no performance statistics or evidence that the filters improve results. It warns that parameter choices and fast market moves can produce false or misaligned signals. The source has no explicit stop loss, and the strategy is long-only in its position logic. Suggested extensions include testing alternative periods, adding other indicators, and filtering by time or volume; these are proposals rather than validated improvements.

Key ideas

• The method smooths three RSI series with multiple moving average horizons to assess trend direction.
• Rising average configurations are treated as bullish, while falling configurations can trigger a long exit.
• The stated position rule uses full exposure for long trades and does not describe short entries.
• The document supplies a backtest setup but no reported performance evidence.
• Parameter sensitivity, false signals, and the absence of a stop loss are important limitations.
