DMI Extreme-Threshold Entries with RSI-Based Exits

Summary

This strategy uses directional movement indicators to identify long and short entry conditions. A long signal occurs when the positive DI falls below 10 while the negative DI rises above 40; a short signal applies the reverse thresholds. The script calculates smoothed directional indicators and plots them with reference levels. The author describes using the signals on an index chart to trade options, and mentions pivot points as another possible entry aid.

The accompanying trading notes mention selecting an option whose premium is near 300, setting a 20% stop, adding a lot after a 10% decline, and exiting if the premium falls 20% from the first entry. These are personal rules, not tested findings. Despite the document’s framing around RSI exits, the visible strategy code issues entries in the opposite direction when the reverse DI condition occurs; it does not show an RSI-based exit. The author also notes that repeated signals in the same phase may not appear until an opposite phase occurs. No performance results or detailed risk-adjusted evaluation are provided.

Key ideas

• Long entries require positive DI below 10 and negative DI above 40.
• Short entries use the reversed DI thresholds.
• The notes describe applying the indicator to index charts and trading options with premium-based risk rules.
• The visible code reverses direction on the opposite DI condition and does not implement the described RSI exit.
• Repeated signals during an unchanged phase may not be displayed by the strategy.
