Re-test of TradeIQ's Heikin Ashi + 200 EMA + RSI + Parabolic SAR scalping strategy on BTC: go long when the Parabolic SAR is below price (buy signal), price closes above the 200 EMA and RSI(14) is above 50, all at once, with the stop below the swing low and the exit when the SAR flips to a sell; mirror for shorts. Signals come from Heikin Ashi candles but fills use real candles; the presenter finds 5m loses and 1h works best.
The exact rules we tested
- 01Instrument: BTCUSDT | Signal timeframe: 5m | Direction: both
- 02LONG when: [(sar < ha.low) AND (ha.close > ema200) AND (rsi14 > 50)] just became true this bar
- 03SHORT when: [(sar > ha.high) AND (ha.close < ema200) AND (rsi14 < 50)] just became true this bar
- 04Entry: market at next bar open
- 05Stop: last swing (strength 5) +/- 0bp
- 06Exit longs when: sar > ha.high
- 07Exit shorts when: sar < ha.low
