Combining RSI Thresholds with Custom Conditions and Fixed Trade Exits
Summary
This example strategy uses a 14-period Relative Strength Index (RSI) with overbought and oversold thresholds to generate long and short signals. It also describes custom conditions, risk-based position sizing, fixed take-profit and stop-loss levels, chart plotting, and alerts. The listed parameters include RSI thresholds of 70 and 30, take profit of 10 pips, stop loss of 5 pips, and a risk percentage of 1. The published backtest settings specify BTC/USDT futures and a historical test period, but provide no performance results.
The description calls the additional signals AI conditions, although the supplied logic consists of RSI crossovers rather than a separate AI model. The code calculates position size from risk but submits a fixed quantity of one, and its exit prices are constructed in the same direction for both long and short trades. These discrepancies mean the implementation may not behave as its description suggests. Fixed exits can also be sensitive to volatility, and the document does not establish that the parameters are profitable.
Key ideas
- The strategy combines RSI threshold crossings with additional crossover conditions to trigger entries.
- It proposes fixed profit targets and stop losses alongside risk-based position sizing.
- The published example uses BTC/USDT futures and specifies historical backtest settings without reporting results.
- The supplied code does not implement a separate AI model, despite the description's terminology.
- The calculated position size is not used for orders, and exit-price logic may not match short trades.
