Composite RSI Signals with RSI Momentum and Price ROC

Summary

This strategy combines a short-period RSI, the change in RSI, and a price rate-of-change measure into a composite signal. The description says to average the three components, enter long when the composite crosses above 40, and exit when it crosses below 70. It presents the components as covering overbought or oversold conditions, momentum, and price change.

The document gives Binance BTC/USDT futures backtest settings for January through March 2023, but reports no performance results. The code calculates a percentile rank of one-period ROC and a short moving average of the composite, so the implementation is more specific than the prose summary. Its exit rule is a cross below 70, rather than a sell signal on a cross above 70. The source also shows no short entry rule. The author cautions that lag and false signals remain possible and recommends parameter tuning and stop losses; no evidence is provided that the method is profitable or robust.

Key ideas

• The composite averages a short-period RSI, an RSI change measure, and a percentile-ranked price ROC.
• The written rules enter long when the composite crosses above 40 and exit below 70.
• The code smooths the composite with a short moving average and uses a cross below 70 to exit.
• The document gives a brief futures backtest window but no performance statistics.
• Combining lagging indicators does not remove false signals, and the description recommends risk controls.
