RSI and Stochastic Signals with Pivot Support and Resistance

Summary

This intraday system combines RSI, the Stochastic oscillator, and pivot levels to define entries and exits. It buys when RSI and Stochastic are oversold while price is above a daily pivot low; it sells short when both indicators are overbought while price is below a pivot high. Longs close when either oscillator rises above its midpoint, and shorts close when either falls below it. The listed defaults set RSI thresholds at 30 and 70, and Stochastic thresholds at 20 and 80.

The document frames the three signals as confirmation across momentum and price levels, but provides no backtest performance evidence despite listing BTC/USDT futures settings for hourly bars. It also describes the approach as trend prediction, though the oversold and overbought conditions are commonly used for reversal setups. Pivot levels rely on higher-timeframe data, and the source uses pivot highs and lows that require subsequent bars for confirmation, which can introduce delay. Requiring all entry filters together may reduce signal frequency; parameter choices and sideways or sharply moving markets can still produce false or late signals.

Key ideas

• Long entries require oversold RSI and Stochastic readings while price is above a pivot low.
• Short entries require overbought readings while price is below a pivot high.
• Positions close when either oscillator returns through the midpoint.
• The source provides settings but no reported backtest results.
• Pivot confirmation and strict combined filters can delay or reduce signals.
