Dual RSI Breakout Signals with Martingale Sizing

Summary

This strategy combines two RSI readings, using periods of 7 and 14 with a limit of 25, to generate long and short signals. It also checks candle direction and body size against a recent average before entering. When holding a position, it exits after RSI readings return to their normal ranges and a sufficiently large candle body confirms the exit condition. The described implementation can optionally increase trade size after a losing exit.

The document explains the signal rules and adjustable inputs, but provides no performance results. Its published backtest configuration covers a short period on BTC/USDT futures, so it does not establish robustness across markets or regimes. The source logic adds entries when either RSI condition triggers and closes opposing positions; it does not implement the stated stop-loss recommendation. The document itself flags false signals, unmodeled trading costs, parameter sensitivity, and the substantial risk of escalating position size after losses.

Key ideas

• Two RSI periods provide separate overbought and oversold triggers for entries.
• Candle direction and body size filter entry signals, while normalized RSI and a larger body condition govern exits.
• Optional Martingale sizing doubles the next trade after a loss, which can sharply increase drawdown risk.
• The published backtest configuration is brief and does not report performance statistics.
