A Doubling Reversal Strategy with RSI-Based Initial Entries

Summary

This futures strategy opens an initial position in the direction suggested by the latest RSI(14) change. It monitors open long and short positions against percentage take-profit and stop-loss levels. When a position hits its stop, it closes and opens the opposite direction at a multiple of the stopped position's size, subject to a maximum-position limit. The listed settings include a 1.5% stop, 3% target, 2x reversal size, and 20x leverage.

The document describes the rules and provides implementation code, but reports no performance results or backtest evidence. Its prominent warning says live trading can lose all capital. Repeated doubling can make exposure grow rapidly through a streak of adverse moves, and the position cap can halt the reversal sequence after losses. The RSI-based opening rule is minimal, while fees, slippage, funding, and liquidation effects are not analyzed; the code therefore illustrates a high-risk mechanism rather than demonstrating a reliable trading edge.

Key ideas

• The initial futures position follows whether RSI(14) rose or fell from the prior reading.
• A long or short closes at fixed percentage profit or loss thresholds.
• After a stop, the strategy reverses direction and multiplies the previous size, subject to a position cap.
• The document warns of total capital loss and provides no evidence of profitability.
