RSI and Moving Average Rules for Momentum Reversal and Partial Exits

Summary

This strategy combines 14- and 28-period simple moving averages with the relative strength index (RSI) to seek upward reversals. The described entry condition is that the fast average is at or above the slow average while RSI is at or below 30, or RSI is at or below 13 regardless of the average relationship. The source code confirms this logic. It also defines partial profit taking after an 8% gain, with a default sale of half the position, and describes closing the remaining position when the fast average falls below the slow average after a partial exit.

The document gives parameters and a one-day BTC-USDT futures backtest window at one-minute intervals, but includes no performance results. It characterizes the method as a reversal approach and notes that moving average signals can whipsaw, while partial exits may limit participation in larger moves. The code’s overbought option and exit logic are not fully aligned with the prose, so the precise behavior should be verified before interpreting the strategy. No evidence presented establishes profitability.

Key ideas

• A long entry is triggered by RSI at or below 13, or by RSI at or below 30 when the fast moving average is at least the slow average.
• The strategy uses 14- and 28-period simple moving averages and an RSI calculated over 14 periods.
• The default partial exit takes half the position after an 8% gain.
• The document gives a one-day futures backtest window but no performance results, and identifies whipsaw and missed larger moves as risks.
