RSI EA Strategy

This strategy emulates a classic RSI expert advisor. It trades when the Relative Strength Index crosses predefined levels and manages risk with stop loss, take profit and optional trailing stop.

Strategy Logic

  • Calculate RSI using the configurable RsiPeriod.
  • Long entry when RSI rises above BuyLevel and no long position exists.
  • Short entry when RSI falls below SellLevel and no short position exists.
  • When CloseBySignal is enabled, an opposite cross closes the existing position.
  • Positions can be protected with StopLoss, TakeProfit and TrailingStop measured in price units.
  • Works on candle data defined by CandleType.

Parameters

  • OpenBuy – enable long entries.
  • OpenSell – enable short entries.
  • CloseBySignal – close by opposite RSI signal.
  • StopLoss – loss in price units.
  • TakeProfit – profit in price units.
  • TrailingStop – trailing distance in price units.
  • RsiPeriod – RSI calculation length.
  • BuyLevel – RSI threshold for long signals.
  • SellLevel – RSI threshold for short signals.
  • CandleType – candle timeframe or type to subscribe.

The default trade volume is controlled by the strategy Volume property.
