Strategy Concept

StochRSI EMA Timing Strategy is a futures strategy based on technical indicators that assess trend structure, momentum, volatility, and breakout quality through the indicator combination in its name. Its core idea is to open positions only when directional signals and risk filters agree, then let Freqtrade manage exits through ROI, stop-loss, trailing-stop, and strategy exit rules. The strategy was evaluated on the 1h timeframe across NEAR/USDT:USDT, ARB/USDT:USDT.

This strategy was backtested directly from the default STOCHRSI_EMA_PairOptimized class. Entry, exit, leverage, and pair-filter parameters were taken from the strategy and STOCHRSI_EMA_PairOptimized_Settings.json; no additional optimization parameters were loaded for this run.

Interpretation Notes

The backtest shown on this page uses the default parameters from the strategy and pair-optimized settings, without additional optimization parameters. Return, drawdown, and risk-adjusted metrics should be treated as historical research results for the stated timerange and universe, not as a guarantee of live performance.
