Multi-period trend confluence strategy
Fast and slow trend regimes must agree before opening — long or short.
RSI dip with trend filter strategy
Buy oversold RSI dips, but only when price is still above the 50 EMA.

Market fit
Strong directional trends
Filtered, selective
Entry rules
- Long when BOTH trend20 = +1 AND trend100 = +1.
- Short when BOTH trend20 = -1 AND trend100 = -1.
- 8-bar cooldown after exit.
- RSI(14) below 35 AND
- Close is above the 50-bar EMA — the dip is with the trend, not against it.
Exit rules
- Exit immediately when the slower trend100 regime flips to 0 (chop).
- 7% trailing stop on the runner.
- RSI(14) above 65, OR close drops below EMA(50).
- Hard 2.5% stop; 5% take-profit.
Expected behavior
Trend follower with patience. Long flat periods when the two timeframes disagree, then steady runs when the slow regime turns and the fast one confirms. Drawdowns are deeper because exits wait for chop, not a clean flip.
Cleaner equity curve than vanilla RSI mean reversion because the EMA filter cuts the worst counter-trend trades. Fewer setups, but each one comes with a stacked deck.
