Pivot Reversal Entries Filtered by RSI Conditions

Article Strategy library · Author: QuantNomad

Summary

This strategy combines confirmed pivot highs and lows with RSI filters to place stop entries just beyond the pivot price. A detected pivot high arms a potential long entry above that high when RSI at the pivot is below the selected upper threshold. A pivot low arms a potential short entry below that low when RSI at the pivot is above the selected lower threshold. The script uses three bars on each side by default and sets the RSI length to 14, although its RSI thresholds are configurable.

The accompanying description says it is intended for crypto markets on 30-minute to two-hour charts, but it supplies no performance results or comparative evidence. Pivot identification requires bars to form after the candidate turning point, which can delay when a pivot becomes known. The document does not define position sizing, protective exits, or a risk-control plan, so the entry logic alone is not a complete trading system.

Key ideas

  • The strategy detects pivot highs and lows using configurable bars on each side of a candidate point.
  • A pivot high can trigger a long stop entry above its price when RSI at the pivot passes the filter.
  • A pivot low can trigger a short stop entry below its price when RSI at the pivot passes the filter.
  • The published description suggests crypto charts from 30 minutes to two hours but gives no measured performance evidence.
  • The script does not specify protective exits or position sizing.
