Two-Period RSI Reversal Entries with EMA Trend Filters

Summary

This strategy combines a two-period RSI with fast and slow exponential moving averages. For a long entry, price must be above the slow average but below the fast one, while RSI crosses upward out of its oversold zone. A short entry mirrors those conditions: price is below the slow average and above the fast one, with RSI crossing downward from overbought. The stated exits close positions when price crosses the fast average, with a percentage stop loss also specified. Published defaults include a 10-period fast EMA, a 400-period slow EMA, and RSI thresholds of 10 and 90; the source uses a one-hour BTC/USDT futures backtest setup.

The document gives no independently verifiable backtest results. Its source comments report strong historical returns for selected crypto settings, but those are author claims, not evidence established by the strategy description. It also warns that parameters may need to change, that ranges can cause repeated losses, and that stops may not prevent large drawdowns in extreme conditions. The rules are technical and do not include the suggested volume, sentiment, or fundamental filters.

Key ideas

• The two-period RSI supplies reversal timing while the slow EMA filters entries by the broader price trend.
• Long entries require price above the slow EMA and below the fast EMA, with RSI crossing up from oversold.
• Short entries require price below the slow EMA and above the fast EMA, with RSI crossing down from overbought.
• Positions close on a price cross of the fast EMA, and the source also sets a percentage stop loss.
• The document provides no independently verified performance evidence and cautions that parameters and market conditions affect results.
