RSI Oversold Entries and Overbought Exits for Stocks

Article Strategy library · Author: Myquant

Summary

This stock strategy uses the Relative Strength Index to time long trades. It opens a position when RSI falls below a configurable oversold threshold, provided the symbol has no current position and is outside a post-entry holding window. It closes a long position when RSI rises above an overbought threshold. The implementation tracks daily closing prices and adjusts historical prices using adjustment factors before calculating RSI.

The system also includes optional fixed profit and loss stops and a moving profit stop based on the highest price reached since entry. Position size is capped by a configured share amount and reduced to fit available cash, rounded to board lots. Parameters cover the RSI period and thresholds, history length, holding days, and stop settings. The document provides implementation details, but no reported backtest results or evidence that the rules are profitable. Results would depend on parameter choices, execution costs, data quality, and how the stop and holding-period logic behaves in practice.

Key ideas

  • The strategy opens long positions when RSI falls below an oversold threshold and no position or holding lock is active.
  • It exits when RSI exceeds an overbought threshold, with optional fixed and trailing profit or loss stops.
  • Historical closes are adjusted using stock adjustment factors before RSI is calculated.
  • Position size is constrained by a configured share cap and available cash, with purchases rounded to board lots.
  • The source describes implementation mechanics but supplies no performance evidence.
