RSI Threshold Crossings for Basic Buy and Sell Signals

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This short description presents a basic Expert Advisor that uses RSI threshold crossings to generate trades. It sells when RSI crosses downward through 70 and buys when RSI crosses upward through 30. The EA’s settings allow the user to specify the threshold levels, stop loss, and take profit.

The document provides the entry rules but no RSI period, instrument, chart interval, exit logic beyond configurable risk controls, or test results. It therefore serves as a concise illustration of a threshold-crossing signal rather than evidence for a complete or effective trading strategy. The stated buy and sell conditions are direction-specific crossings; the description does not explain how the EA behaves while a position is open or whether it can hold multiple positions.

Key ideas

  • The EA sells when RSI crosses downward through 70.
  • It buys when RSI crosses upward through 30.
  • Thresholds, stop loss, and take profit are configurable.
  • The description provides no backtest evidence or detail about trade management.
