Wave Trend DCA Strategy with Awesome Oscillator Market Regimes

Summary

This BTC futures strategy combines Wave Trend signals with the Awesome Oscillator (AO) to guide staged entries and exits across market cycles. It calculates Wave Trend from HLC3 and exponential averages to identify overbought and oversold conditions, while AO thresholds classify broad bull and bear regimes. In bear markets, oversold readings can trigger incremental buying; a bull-market start or a designated golden-buy signal increases buying. During bull markets, overbought readings prompt partial profit-taking, while bear signals or a perceived market top can close positions.

The document lists configurable indicator thresholds, trade-size percentages, and a one-hour Binance BTC/USDT futures backtest covering about a month in late 2024. It provides no performance statistics or evidence that the strategy was profitable. The described approach may trade frequently in choppy markets, and indicator lag can delay entries or exits. DCA can also underperform during a fast rally, while results may depend heavily on parameter choices. The document proposes volatility-aware sizing, sentiment inputs, adaptive parameters, and tighter money management as possible refinements.
