RSI MA Trend Strategy
This strategy combines the Relative Strength Index (RSI) with a moving average trend filter. A long position is opened when the RSI drops below a specified buy level while the fast moving average is above the slow moving average. A short position is opened when the RSI rises above a specified sell level while the fast moving average is below the slow moving average.
Parameters
RSI Period– length of the RSI indicator.RSI Buy Level– RSI value below which a long position is opened.RSI Sell Level– RSI value above which a short position is opened.Fast MA Period– period of the fast moving average.Slow MA Period– period of the slow moving average.Candle Type– candle series used for calculations.
Logic
- Subscribe to the selected candle series.
- Calculate RSI, fast MA, and slow MA for each finished candle.
- Detect uptrend when fast MA is above slow MA and downtrend when it is below.
- Enter long when RSI < buy level and trend is up, closing short positions if any.
- Enter short when RSI > sell level and trend is down, closing long positions if any.
Notes
- The strategy uses market orders for entries.
- Trade signals are processed only on finished candles.
- Parameters are exposed for optimization in the user interface.
