USDJPY Signals from RSI, Parabolic SAR, and Moving Averages

Summary

This document outlines an intraday USDJPY strategy using RSI, Parabolic SAR, and simple moving averages. The stated long setup requires price above a long-term SMA, a shorter SMA above a longer one, and RSI crossing upward through its oversold threshold. The short setup reverses those conditions, with RSI crossing downward from overbought territory. Although SAR is described as a trend and reversal indicator, the listed entry rules use the moving averages and RSI; the source code does not show SAR in the signal conditions.

The document cites a short sample period of 15-minute data and recommends extending the historical evaluation. It provides no performance results, and its published backtest metadata identifies a BTC-USDT futures contract rather than USDJPY, leaving the market and evidence inconsistent. Risks include false RSI signals, moving-average lag, and news exposure. It suggests parameter changes and stop or profit-taking rules, but does not establish their effectiveness.

Key ideas

• Long and short entries combine a long-term price filter, a moving-average relationship, and an RSI threshold cross.
• Parabolic SAR is discussed as a trend indicator but is absent from the stated signal logic.
• The described strategy targets intraday USDJPY trading, while the published backtest metadata names BTC-USDT futures.
• The short backtest period and lack of reported results do not establish strategy performance.
• False signals, lag, and event-driven price moves are cited risks.
