RSI Divergence Entries and Momentum-Based Trade Exits
Summary
The document describes an automated trading system that can enter on RSI divergence or on classic overbought and oversold reversals. Bullish divergence means price makes a lower low while RSI forms a higher low; bearish divergence means price reaches a higher high while RSI makes a lower high. An optional confirmation waits for RSI to cross the 50 centerline before placing a trade. The divergence lookback is configurable, with 60 bars given as the default.
Positions use fixed stop-loss and take-profit levels, alongside a dynamic RSI exit that closes longs at overbought readings or shorts at oversold readings; 70 and 30 are examples. A unique trade identifier limits management to positions opened by this system. The text explains configurable signal and exit logic, but supplies no backtest, market-specific parameters, or evidence that the signals are profitable. Its rules therefore describe an implementation concept rather than a validated strategy.
Key ideas
- The primary entry method looks for disagreement between price extremes and RSI extremes.
- An alternative entry method uses conventional RSI overbought and oversold reversals.
- An optional RSI centerline cross can confirm a signal before entry.
- Fixed protective exits are combined with RSI-based dynamic exits.
- The document provides no performance testing or market-specific validation.
