RSI Oversold Rebound Strategy with ATR Stops and Staged Exits

Summary

This daily strategy seeks long entries when RSI(5) falls below 30 while price remains above its 200-day simple moving average. The trend filter is intended to focus oversold entries on rebounds within an upward market. For protection, the description combines a stop based on 1.5 times ATR(20) with a fixed 25% stop. It also outlines three profit thresholds at 5%, 10%, and 15%, with staged reductions in the position.

The document discusses position sizing through a stated Kelly-derived recommendation or a more conservative alternative, and identifies risks including repeated stops in sideways markets, potentially large losses from the fixed stop, and early reductions during strong advances. It suggests adding volume or trend confirmation, volatility filters, time-based exits, and trailing profit protection. The supplied backtest settings identify a daily BTC perpetual futures test period, but no performance statistics are reported. The source code’s logic and stated staged reductions may not fully match the prose description, so the proposed sizing and exit behavior should be checked before drawing conclusions.

Key ideas

• The entry combines an RSI(5) reading below 30 with price above the 200-day moving average.
• The described risk controls pair a 1.5-times ATR(20) stop with a fixed 25% stop.
• Profit taking is described at 5%, 10%, and 15% thresholds through staged exits.
• Sideways conditions and early profit reductions are identified as potential weaknesses.
• The published settings describe a daily BTC futures test, but the document gives no performance results.
