Long Entries from Oversold RSI Bullish Divergence Breakouts

Summary

This long-only strategy searches for two RSI pivot lows separated by a configurable number of bars. The first RSI low can be required to lie below an oversold threshold; the second RSI low must be higher while its corresponding price low is lower. Once a setup forms, the strategy waits for RSI to rise above its highest value between the pivots before entering, subject to a maximum wait and other signal checks. Pivot confirmation can be delayed or allowed provisionally.

The stop follows the lowest price since the second low, with an optional buffer. The target can use the intervening price swing high or a multiple of risk, and a minimum reward-to-risk filter is available. The source describes decisions as based on closed bars, but supplies no backtest findings or independent evidence that divergence predicts reversals. RSI divergence can signal weakening downside momentum without guaranteeing a price reversal, and the settings and market context affect outcomes.

Key ideas

• The setup pairs a higher RSI low with a lower price low across two pivot points.
• An RSI move above its intervening high triggers a potential long entry.
• The script offers confirmed and provisional pivot handling with a bounded wait for confirmation.
• Stops track lows since the second pivot, and targets can use a swing high or risk multiple.
• The document gives no performance results, and divergence alone does not ensure a reversal.
