Pivot Point Trend Filters with RSI-Assisted Stock Entries

Summary

This strategy combines daily classic Pivot levels with a trend filter and pullback entry rules. A close above the prior day's R2 marks a bullish context; a close below the prior day's S2 marks a bearish one. The stated approach looks for buys on pullbacks toward the pivot or below S1 in bullish conditions, and sells on rallies toward the pivot or above R1 in bearish conditions. Stops are placed at the prior day's S1 or R1, respectively.

RSI thresholds and a moving average appear among the inputs and calculations, but the source's actual long and short entry conditions rely on prior daily pivot levels and intraday highs or lows; they do not use RSI directly. The document provides no performance results, and its published backtest settings use BTC/USDT futures although the prose describes stocks. Pivot failures, false signals, arbitrary stop placement, frequent trading, and drawdowns are noted as limitations.

Key ideas

• Prior-day R2 and S2 breaks define bullish and bearish daily contexts in the stated method.
• The described entries seek pullbacks toward pivot levels in the direction of the prevailing context.
• The stated stop levels are the prior day's S1 for longs and R1 for shorts.
• Although RSI is calculated in the source, the displayed entry conditions do not depend on it.
• The stock-focused description conflicts with published backtest settings for BTC/USDT futures.
