Graph Style 4th Dimension RSI

Strategy combining price change with RSI levels.

Testing indicates an average annual return of about 80%. It performs well in volatile markets.

The strategy checks the direction of the last price change together with RSI extremes. It opens a position when RSI exits the overbought/oversold zones and the recent price change confirms the move. Positions are closed when RSI returns to the middle area or an opposite signal appears.

Details

  • Entry Criteria: Price change direction with RSI extreme.
  • Long/Short: Both directions.
  • Exit Criteria: Opposite signal or RSI back to mid.
  • Stops: Percent stop loss.
  • Default Values:
    • RsiPeriod = 14
    • OverboughtLevel = 70m
    • OversoldLevel = 30m
    • StopLossPercent = 1m
    • CandleType = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5)
  • Filters:
    • Category: Momentum
    • Direction: Both
    • Indicators: RSI
    • Stops: Percent
    • Complexity: Basic
    • Timeframe: Intraday (5m)
    • Seasonality: No
    • Neural Networks: No
    • Divergence: No
    • Risk Level: Medium
