Qing EMA + MACD + Squeeze) backtest results, every cell

There is no cloud of cells to draw. The frame below says why.

How Qing EMA + MACD + Squeeze) works

Rules in this group usually work like this. It waits until price is already moving, then joins that move. It is wrong in small ways many times, and right in a large way a few times. The hard part is the stretch where price chops around and every entry is a fake. The next paragraph is this particular rule, which can be narrower than the group.

It can buy, and it can bet on falling prices. It acts only when several checks agree at once. It leans on ATR, EMA, MACD, RSI; those names are explained on their own pages, further down. The exact line is in the list below, in the author's names, and you can skip that list. When it enters, it also sets a stop or a target, so a trade can close without a new signal.

Each trade uses a fixed 1000 of the quote coin. It holds one trade at a time.

The exact condition, from the code

Same rule, translated from the code, in the author's names. You can skip this list if the paragraph above was enough.

• Enters long when the MACD line crosses above the MACD signal and (the bar index − last trade close bar) is at or above Cooldown Bars Between Trades (5) and the number of open trades equals 0.
• Enters short when context counter trend short and the 6-period EMA of the close crosses below the 12-period EMA of the close and the MACD line crosses below the MACD signal and (the bar index − last trade close bar) is at or above Cooldown Bars Between Trades (5) and the number of open trades equals 0 and multi-timeframe bias short and the 14-period RSI of the close is below RSI Bearish Filter (e.g., <45) (45) and Allow Short Trades? ….
• Places a stop at (the close − (the 10-period ATR × ATR Stop Multiplier (1.2) (1.2))), a target at (the close + ((the 10-period ATR × ATR Stop Multiplier (1.2) (1.2)) × ATR TP Multiplier (2.5) (2.5))) when the MACD line crosses above the MACD signal and (the bar index − last trade close bar) is at or above Cooldown Bars Between Trades (5) and the number of open trades equals 0 and not (Use Signal Crossover for Exit? (on)).
• Closes the position when Use Signal Crossover for Exit? (on) and the 10-period SMA of the close crosses below the 50-period SMA of the close and a long position is open.
• On entry, places a stop at (the close + (the 10-period ATR × ATR Stop Multiplier (1.2) (1.2))), a target at (the close − ((the 10-period ATR × ATR Stop Multiplier (1.2) (1.2)) × ATR TP Multiplier (2.5) (2.5))).

How the backtest was run

Every strategy was tried the same way, on the settings the author published.

The years are October 2021 to June 2026. The prices are from Bybit, for 13 widely traded coins, mostly on hourly, 4-hour and daily charts, with some faster charts. That was 47,242 tries. The window stored in the files is 2021-09..2026-06.

599 rules produced a finished try. A rule that finished above zero on at least 12 cells, before any fee, was tried again with a fee of 0.12 percent per side. Only buys are counted in that second try. 273 rules got it.

The method, the aggregate results and a downloadable table are on the study page. What the desk does with the results beyond these pages is its own.

Before any fee, it was tried on 12 cells, and it placed no trades.

It was not run a second time with a fee. That second pass happens only when at least 12 cells finished above zero before fees. 273 rules got that pass.

Cells tried	12
Cells that placed a trade	0

How to read the result

How to read the number

No cell took a trade, so there is no return to read. The rule above is the whole note.

What this does not show

The useful question, for a rule that joins a move already underway, is what it gave back in the choppy months when there was no trend to join.

There is no cell to single out, and this note does not invent one. Other years, another exchange, or another fee would be a different measurement.

Questions about Qing EMA + MACD + Squeeze)

Words used on this page

Backtest

The rule was tried on old prices. No real money moved.

Cell

One coin on one chart speed. Bitcoin every 4 hours is one cell. Bitcoin once a day is another.

Chart speed

How often a new price bar is drawn. 15m means every 15 minutes, 1h means hourly, 4h means every 4 hours, 1D means once a day.

Fee, per side

A cost taken each time the rule trades. Per side means once on the way in and once on the way out.

Median

Line the cells up from the biggest loss to the biggest gain. The median is the middle one. Half the cells did better and half did worse.

Drawdown

The deepest fall from a high point along the way, as a percent of the account at that high.

Above zero

The account finished with more than it started.

The indicators Qing EMA + MACD + Squeeze) uses

Each has its own page: what it measures, how it is read, where it misleads.

• ATR (average true range): the volatility number behind most stops
• Exponential moving average (EMA): what it measures and where it misleads
• MACD: two EMAs, a signal line and a histogram, read correctly
• RSI (relative strength index): the formula, the 70/30 rule, and why it misleads in trends
• Simple moving average (SMA): the plainest average, and why it still runs half the strategies
