Dual RSI Entries with a Long-Term Trend Filter and Stops

Summary

This strategy uses fast and slow RSI readings to create separate long entries, allowing both to add exposure when their oversold conditions occur. A 200-period simple moving average acts as a directional filter: entries are allowed only while price is above it. The fast RSI exits above 70, while the slow RSI exits above 68, and both entries share a stop set 10% below the average position price.

The description presents the method as a way to combine signals over two RSI periods and scale into directional moves. The published parameter list gives periods of 16 and 31, but its oversold setting is 91, which conflicts with the prose examples that describe an oversold level around 30; the source code also uses a below-threshold condition, making this discrepancy material to interpretation. The backtest configuration covers only a short BTC/USDT futures interval, and no performance results are supplied. Pyramiding can increase exposure, and the document notes that poorly chosen RSI parameters or tight stops can undermine results.

Key ideas

• Separate fast and slow RSI conditions can trigger distinct long entries.
• Entries are filtered by price being above a 200-period simple moving average.
• The fast and slow RSI positions use different overbought exit levels and share a stop below average entry price.
• The published oversold parameter conflicts with the prose example, so the intended entry threshold is unclear.
• The brief backtest setup provides no results to establish performance.
