RSI Expert

Overview

The RSI Expert strategy trades using the Relative Strength Index (RSI). It waits for the RSI value to cross predefined overbought or oversold levels and enters positions in the direction of the crossing.

Logic

  • Calculate RSI for each candle.
  • When RSI crosses above the oversold level, a long position is opened.
  • When RSI crosses below the overbought level, a short position is opened.
  • Before entering a new position the opposite one is closed.
  • Optional protections for take‑profit, stop‑loss and trailing stop can be enabled.

The strategy processes only finished candles and uses StockSharp's high‑level API with indicator binding.

Parameters

Name Description Default
RsiPeriod RSI calculation period. 14
LevelUp Overbought level to trigger shorts. 70
LevelDown Oversold level to trigger longs. 30
TakeProfitPercent Take profit percentage. 0 disables. 0
StopLossPercent Stop loss percentage. 0 disables. 0
TrailingStopPercent Trailing stop percentage. 0 disables. 0
CandleType Candle timeframe used for calculations. 1 minute

Notes

The trailing stop uses the built‑in StartProtection mechanism. When TrailingStopPercent is greater than zero it replaces the regular stop loss and automatically follows the price.
