Filtering Long-Only RSI Entries with Recent Trade Outcomes

Summary

This long-only BTC futures method buys when RSI crosses below an oversold threshold and exits when RSI crosses above an overbought threshold. It adds percentage-based stop and target levels and a filter that estimates the share of profitable long outcomes over a configurable recent lookback. New entries are allowed only when that estimate reaches at least 51%. The listed defaults include a 14-period RSI, thresholds of 35 and 75, and a 30-period lookback.

The document provides hourly backtest settings for a one-month period using 15-minute base data, but it gives no numerical performance results or comparison that substantiates its claim of improvement. The strategy is long-only, so it cannot directly benefit from falling prices. Its effectiveness depends on parameter choices and the reliability of the recent-outcome filter, which may lag or reject useful entries. The source’s outcome-counting and exit logic are not fully explained in the prose, so the stated probability should be treated as a strategy filter rather than established predictive evidence.

Key ideas

• The entry trigger is an RSI cross below an oversold threshold, while an overbought cross signals an exit.
• A recent performance filter permits new long trades only when its estimated profitable share is at least 51%.
• The strategy adds percentage-based stop-loss and take-profit levels.
• The document describes a short backtest window but reports no results demonstrating the filter’s benefit.
