TSI and Hull Moving Average Trend Confirmation Strategy

Summary

This strategy combines the True Strength Index (TSI), Hull moving averages, volume-weighted moving averages, and candle direction to identify possible trend starts. A long signal requires TSI to cross above its signal average while the Hull and VWMA conditions indicate an uptrend and recent candle values confirm upward movement. Short signals use the opposite conditions. The method is intended for stocks, cryptocurrencies, and forex, with a published example configured for BTC/USDT futures.

The document explains the indicator logic and suggests tuning parameters, adding stops, and testing across instruments and timeframes. It also notes that sideways markets can produce false signals and excessive trading, while poor parameter choices may cause unnecessary exits. Although it describes the combined confirmations as improving signal quality, it provides no performance statistics or backtest results to substantiate that claim. The published setup lists profit and loss thresholds, but the document does not report how the strategy performed under them.

Key ideas

• TSI crossing its signal average supplies the strategy’s momentum trigger.
• Hull moving average and VWMA conditions are used to confirm trend direction.
• Candle direction must agree with the indicator conditions before a signal is issued.
• Sideways markets and poorly chosen parameters can lead to false signals or unnecessary exits.
• The document gives a BTC/USDT futures backtest configuration but reports no measured results.
