RSI Oversold Entries with Pyramiding and Per-Entry Exits

Summary

This strategy uses RSI thresholds to seek reversals: it opens long entries when RSI is oversold and describes short entries when RSI is overbought. It adds to a position in a sequence of up to seven entries, with take-profit and stop-loss exits set for each entry. The published parameter defaults use RSI length 5, oversold 25, overbought 80, a 3% profit target, and a 10% loss target.

The document explains the intended logic and discusses risks, including unreliable RSI signals, added exposure from repeated entries, and stop distances that may be too tight for market volatility. It suggests filtering signals with other indicators, using dynamic stops, and adapting parameters to market conditions. No performance results are reported. The source code implements long entries on oversold RSI only; it does not implement the described short entries, and its published backtest uses BTC_USDT futures despite the stock-trading framing. The backtest settings alone do not establish profitability.

Key ideas

• The strategy treats RSI below 25 as an oversold condition for initiating long entries.
• It adds up to seven long entries while the oversold condition persists.
• Each entry receives a take-profit and stop-loss exit based on percentage distances.
• Repeated entries can increase risk, and stop distances should account for volatility.
• The source code implements only the long side, despite the document describing a bidirectional strategy.
