Fast RSI Reversal Entries with Candle-Body Filtering
Summary
This short-term, two-sided strategy combines a fast RSI with candle-body filtering. It opens a long after a bearish candle when RSI is below its lower threshold, or a short after a bullish candle when RSI is above its upper threshold; in either case, the candle body must exceed one-third of its 30-period average. Positions close when the candle reverses direction and RSI returns past the relevant threshold. The listed defaults include an RSI period of 7 and a limit of 30.
The document provides rules and a sample backtest configuration for BTC_USDT futures, but reports no performance results. Its description calls the approach trend-following, while the entry rules are reversal-style. The source also uses position reversals and pyramiding, so actual exposure may depend on platform behavior. It warns that sensitive signals can be false and stops may trigger often in volatile markets. Parameter tuning and added filters are proposed, but their benefits are not demonstrated.
Key ideas
- Long entries follow bearish candles with low RSI, subject to a minimum candle-body size.
- Short entries follow bullish candles with high RSI and the same body-size filter.
- Positions close when a qualifying candle appears and RSI returns beyond the entry threshold.
- The published configuration uses BTC_USDT futures, but gives no backtest performance results.
