Backtest Hypothesis

A backtesting strategy using a 15-minute RSI crossover (RSI(14) above 30 and below 70) combined with a 20SMA and 50SMA crossover on the 15-minute chart would have generated 3 potential long signals during the 24-hour period, with the most promising at 05:15 ET. A trailing stop at 0.003362 would have captured a 0.38% move before exiting at 07:00 ET. While not a high-frequency system, the strategy could benefit from a filter using a 20-period ADX above 25 to confirm trend strength, as seen in the 04:45–06:00 ET window.
