This strategy combines dual MACD indicators and the StochRSI oscillator for trade signals. The dual MACD uses different parameters for fast and slow effects, while StochRSI verifies momentum divergence. Trend filters and stop loss are also added to control risk.
The trade signals are based on:
Dual MACD: Fast MACD uses short lookback period, slow MACD uses long lookback period for smoothing effects.
StochRSI: Calculates RSI high/low range to identify overbought/oversold RSI levels.
Entry rules:
Long: Fast MACD crosses above zero line and slow MACD crosses above zero line. StochRSI is oversold and K crosses above D. In uptrend.
Short: Fast MACD crosses below zero line and slow MACD crosses below zero line. StochRSI is overbought and K crosses below D. In downtrend.
Dual MACD avoids false breakouts for higher signal quality.
StochRSI identifies overbought/oversold levels to avoid chasing.
Considers overall trend direction to reduce countertrend losses.
Cross-timeframe validation improves signal effectiveness.
Stop loss controls risk.
MACD prone to false signals, needs further validation.
Poor StochRSI parameters may miss trades.
Stop loss levels may be too conservative or aggressive.
Lacks position management for dynamic stops.
Improvements:
Add filters like volume or MA slope.
Optimize or add other oscillators.
Dynamic stop loss tracking.
Add position sizing based on performance.
Main areas to optimize:
Optimize indicator parameters.
Add filters to remove false signals.
Optimize stops for dynamic trailing.
Incorporate position sizing based on strategy performance.
Add machine learning for auto optimization.
The strategy combines multiple indicators for stronger signals, but needs optimization in parameters, filtering, dynamic stops to reduce unwanted trades and improve profitability. Overall the logic is sound with good optimization potential.

// RELEASE NOTES, ETC
//
// The core starting idea for this backtesting script came from the desire to have two traditional
//MACD indicators: one 'fast' and one 'slow'. The slow one is to pretty much smooth out noisy signals
//so that short term changes in price are ignored (ideally).
// A brief version history
// v0.1 - Basic two MACD indicators script
// v0.2 - Added StochRSI indicator
// v0.21- Added primitive uptrend/downtrend safety condition
// v0.22- Added changable time resolution for MACDslow
// v0.23- Added exit safeties conditional on loss threshold
// v0.3 - Added changeable resolution for StochRSI
// Future changes planned for next release:
// -Fine tuning exit safeties
// -Major overhaul of trade logic/triggers (may be forked as a different script)
//
//I am more than happy to discuss any difficulties you are having, questions about the script, or improvement suggestions.
//I am not a coder and my background is actually in economics, so feel free to debug ;)
//Feel free to tip me on the indcluded bitcoin address on TV as well
