RSI-2 Pullbacks Filtered by Ichimoku and Hilbert Trend Mode
Summary
This crypto strategy adapts the RSI-2 pullback approach for long entries. It signals when the two-period RSI falls below 10, then requires the close to be above both Ichimoku cloud spans and the Hilbert Transform trend mode to indicate a trend. The Ichimoku settings are described as adjusted for crypto markets. Short entries are disabled.
The strategy sizes each entry using the full available balance and exits when the close exceeds the highs of the two preceding candles. The document provides implementation details, but no performance results or backtest evidence. It also does not specify protective stops, leverage limits, or how the approach behaves across different assets and timeframes, so its suitability and risk cannot be inferred from the rules alone.
Key ideas
- The strategy looks for long entries when a two-period RSI falls below 10.
- It filters entries by requiring price above both Ichimoku cloud spans and a positive Hilbert trend mode.
- Short trades are disabled.
- Positions are sized using the full balance and exited after the close exceeds the preceding two candle highs.
- The document gives no performance evidence or explicit stop-loss rule.

IFR2 (portuguese translation of RSI2)
Repo: https://github.com/gabrielweich/jesse-strategies
Simillar to RSI2 described by Larry Connors but with some modifications.
Uses Ichimoku Cloud with parameters adapted to crypto market and also
Hilbert Transform Trendmode as filters to only buy in an uptrend.
The exit occurs when the close is above the highest high of the two
previous cadles.
