XAUT RSI Reversal Shorts with DCA Averaging and Trailing Exits

Summary

This short-only strategy for XAUTUSDT perpetuals uses a three-minute RSI signal to start trades when RSI crosses down through an overbought threshold. It adds up to three averaging orders at progressively higher prices above the initial entry, with uniform order sizing. The exit logic seeks profit below the position’s average entry using a trailing retracement, while a hard stop limits adverse movement.

The document describes configurable order sizes, averaging spacing, RSI settings, take-profit, trailing, stop-loss, and a backtest date window. It also includes execution assumptions such as commission and slippage, plus chart and bot webhook settings. The material presents strategy rules and defaults, but supplies no backtest performance results or comparative evidence. Its parameters are calibrated for one named perpetual market, so performance on other instruments or time periods is not established; averaging into a rising market also increases exposure before the stop is reached.

Key ideas
