Testing RSI and DeMarker Signal Patterns for Long-Only Nvidia Trading

Article MQL5 articles

Summary

This article introduces a method for testing discrete, bitwise-coded trading signals in a long-only setting, using Nvidia shares and combining the Relative Strength Index (RSI) with the DeMarker oscillator. It explains RSI as a measure of recent price momentum and DeMarker as a comparison of current and prior price extremes. One example pattern identifies hidden bullish divergence when price makes a lower low while both oscillators make higher lows, with a positive RSI slope as confirmation.

The study tests individual signal patterns and discusses additional pairwise and combined-pattern tests. Its selected window avoids Nvidia's stock splits because the MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester does not handle those corporate actions, creating a limitation in both the test period and the applicability of results. The article frames the work as exploratory and notes that some patterns need more stress testing, including in bearish conditions and with risk controls. It does not provide a broadly validated edge; Nvidia's strong upward period and the narrow long-only setup limit what can be inferred.

Key ideas

  • The article tests discrete indicator signal patterns as long-only strategies on Nvidia shares.
  • RSI reflects recent price momentum, while DeMarker emphasizes price extremes and demand conditions.
  • A hidden bullish divergence pattern looks for lower price lows alongside higher lows in both oscillators.
  • The testing window avoids stock splits because the MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester does not adjust for them.
  • The author treats results as exploratory and calls for further bearish-regime tests and risk controls.
