Long-Only RSI Entries Below Oversold and Exits Above a Threshold

Summary

The strategy enters a long position when a 14-period RSI falls below a configurable oversold threshold, set to 30 by default, and closes the position when RSI rises above a configurable exit threshold, set to 60 by default. The accompanying prose frames this as a short-term reversal and rotation method that also uses price breakouts and a selected backtest window. However, the supplied source contains no price-breakout condition, and its window function always returns true, so those parts of the narrative are not implemented. The code describes long entries and exits only.

The published test setup uses Binance BTC/USDT futures, hourly bars, and a 15-minute base period over January 2024, but the document reports no performance results. It warns that RSI can lag and does not determine the broader trend; the source also lacks explicit stop-loss logic. The strategy therefore offers a simple signal rule, but its stated market context and risk controls are not demonstrated by the implementation.

Key ideas

• The source opens a long position when a 14-period RSI falls below the oversold threshold.
• It closes the long when RSI rises above the configured exit threshold.
• Although the prose mentions price breakouts and a date window, the source implements neither condition as described.
• The source is long-only and does not include an explicit stop-loss rule.
• The BTC futures test setup reports no performance results, and RSI lag and broader trend exposure remain limitations.
