RSI Threshold Crossovers with Swing Stops and Reward Targets

Summary

This strategy uses RSI threshold crossovers to open long and short positions. A move above the oversold level triggers a long entry, while a move below the overbought level triggers a short entry. It places stops at the recent ten-period low for longs or high for shorts, then sets profit targets at twice the distance between entry price and stop, giving a stated 2:1 reward-to-risk ratio. The description says Bollinger Band position helps confirm signals, but the supplied code does not calculate or use Bollinger Bands; its entries rely on RSI alone.

The parameters specify a 14-period RSI with thresholds of 30 and 70. Published backtest settings identify SOL-USDT spot data on daily bars across a limited historical window, but no results are reported. The document flags false signals, repeated stop-outs in ranges, and slippage as risks. The stop and target levels are derived when the signal occurs, and the material offers no evidence that the chosen levels or ratio perform consistently across market conditions.

Key ideas

• A long entry follows an RSI cross above the oversold threshold, while a short entry follows a cross below the overbought threshold.
• Stops use the recent ten-period low for longs and high for shorts.
• Profit targets are placed at twice the entry-to-stop distance, producing a stated 2:1 reward-to-risk ratio.
• The text describes Bollinger Band confirmation, but the supplied code does not implement it.
• The published daily SOL-USDT backtest settings include no performance results.
