WaveTrend, Fibonacci Retracements, and RSI Signal Strategy
Summary
This strategy combines WaveTrend line crossovers, RSI extremes, and Fibonacci retracement levels to define entry signals. It calculates WaveTrend from smoothed price deviations, tracks running price extremes to derive the 38.2%, 50%, and 61.8% levels, and uses RSI to screen for overbought or oversold conditions. A long requires an upward WaveTrend crossover with RSI below 30 and price below all three levels; a short requires the opposite crossover with RSI above 70 and price above them. The source also specifies separate fixed profit and stop distances for long and short trades.
The document gives a BTC/USDT futures backtest setup spanning about a month, but no performance results. The Fibonacci anchors are running highs and lows rather than a stated rolling window, so levels can depend on the full observed price history. Fixed exits may not fit changing volatility, and the account of the strategy's safeguards should be treated cautiously: indicator confirmation does not establish predictive value. The suggested improvements include volatility-aware exits, market filters, and parameter evaluation across assets and timeframes.
Key ideas
- WaveTrend crossovers are combined with RSI extremes and price location relative to three Fibonacci levels.
- Long signals require oversold RSI and price below all listed retracement levels; short signals require the reverse conditions.
- The source uses running price extremes to calculate Fibonacci levels and fixed stop and target distances.
- A short BTC/USDT futures test period is specified, but no outcome statistics are reported.
- Indicator lag, fixed exits, and history-dependent levels are limitations to assess in further testing.
