Combining Consecutive Candle Counts with RSI Thresholds

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

The document outlines a simple technical signal concept that combines a detector for consecutive candles with relative strength index levels. The user-configurable settings are the number of consecutive candles required to qualify as a signal, an RSI overbought threshold, and an RSI oversold threshold. In principle, the candle-count condition can define a sequence to monitor, while RSI levels provide momentum or extreme-move context for interpreting it.

The description is brief and does not specify the direction or color of candles counted, the RSI lookback period, exact signal conditions, or whether thresholds trigger entries, exits, or alerts. It gives no test results, examples, asset class, or risk controls, so it does not establish that the combination is profitable or robust. The material is best treated as a configurable indicator idea rather than a complete trading system; implementation and validation would require explicit rules and historical evaluation.

Key ideas

  • The indicator concept pairs a consecutive-candle detector with RSI levels.
  • The required candle count is configurable.
  • Overbought and oversold RSI thresholds are separate settings.
  • The description does not define precise signal direction, RSI calculation settings, or trade rules.
  • No performance evidence or risk-management method is provided.
