RSI Threshold Entries with Time Filters and Partial Profit Taking

Summary

This RSI strategy uses a 14-period indicator and trades only during a specified three-hour window in GMT+2. The description says an RSI move above 70 triggers a short and a move below 30 triggers a long. It specifies fixed pip-based stop and target distances, takes partial profit on half the position, and moves a stop to breakeven after the partial target is reached.

The document supplies parameter defaults and a short BTC/USDT futures backtest configuration, but no measured results. There is a notable mismatch between the description and source: the code’s overbought signal opens a long, while its oversold signal opens a short. The code also includes persistent flags that may restrict repeated entries, and the dual exit orders and breakeven adjustment warrant careful review before use. Fixed pip distances may not adapt to volatility, while RSI thresholds can give false signals in ranging conditions; the trading window also excludes other hours.

Key ideas

• The stated setup uses RSI threshold crossings within a GMT+2 trading window.
• The prose assigns short entries to overbought readings and long entries to oversold readings, but the source code reverses those directions.
• The specified exit plan combines fixed pip stops and targets with partial profit taking and a breakeven stop adjustment.
• The published BTC/USDT futures configuration provides no performance results.
• Fixed pip levels, limited trading hours, false signals, and slippage are cited as limitations.
