RSI Strategy - TannerHello everyone, this is my first script on TV. I have done some research on cryptocurrency strategies and much of which has been in technical indicators by combining trend and momentum analysis together. Pine Script is quite a difficult language to learn as opposed to Python.
Anyways, I made some adjustments for the RSI strategy to include a stop loss/take profit and added indicators upon the first initial overbought and oversold levels(70 and 30 respectively). Please DO give me advice or recommendations. Primarily, I am confused as to what metric the stop loss and take profit parameters are using as they do not change when the values are changed in the input. I am unable to tell whether the strategy repaints. Could someone explain why repainting typically occurs in crossovers?
*DISCLAIMER*
This script is merely to help myself and others learn about the Pine Script language. I would not advise you to use this script for live trading. Thanks!

BTC Cap Dominance RSI StrategyThis strategy is based on the BTC Cap Dominance RSI indicator, which is a combination of the RSI of Bitcoin Market Cap and the RSI of Bitcoin Dominance. The concept of this strategy is to get a good grasp of the bitcoin market flow by combining bitcoin dominance as well as bitcoin market cap.
BTC Cap Dominance (BCD) RSI is defined as:
BCD RSI = (BTC Cap RSI + BTC Dominance RSI) / 2
Case 1 (Bull market):
Both Cap RSI and Dominance RSI values are high
Case 2 (Neutral market):
Cap RSI is high but Dominance RSI is low
Cap RSI is low but Dominance RSI is high
Case 3 (Bear market):
Both Cap RSI and Dominance RSI values are low
When the BCD RSI value closes the candle above the Bull level, it triggers a long signal and when the value closes below the Bear level, it triggers a short signal.
(Note) Please note that TradingView's market cap symbols (CRYPTOCAP:TOTAL and CRYPTOCAP:TOTAL2) started in January 2020, so strategy backtesting is possible from this point on.
(Note) Since the real-time BCD RSI value does not come out with this strategy, it is recommended to use it together because the current value can be known and the long-short signal can be predicted in advance by using a separate BCD RSI Index together.
If "Use Combination of dominance RSI ?" is not checked in addition to the recommended default value of the strategy, the recommended values are Length (14), Bull level (74), Bear level (25).

iD EMARSI on ChartSCRIPT OVERVIEW
The EMARSI indicator is an advanced technical analysis tool that maps RSI values directly onto price charts. With adaptive scaling capabilities, it provides a unique visualization of momentum that flows naturally with price action, making it particularly valuable for FOREX and low-priced securities trading.
KEY FEATURES
1 PRICE MAPPED RSI VISUALIZATION
Unlike traditional RSI that displays in a separate window, EMARSI plots the RSI directly on the price chart, creating a flowing line that identifies momentum shifts within the context of price action:
// Map RSI to price chart with better scaling
mappedRsi = useAdaptiveScaling ?
median + ((rsi - 50) / 50 * (pQH - pQL) / 2 * math.min(1.0, 1/scalingFactor)) :
down == pQL ? pQH : up == pQL ? pQL : median - (median / (1 + up / down))
2 ADAPTIVE SCALING SYSTEM
The script features an intelligent scaling system that automatically adjusts to different market conditions and price levels:
// Calculate adaptive scaling factor based on selected method
scalingFactor = if scalingMethod == "ATR-Based"
math.min(maxScalingFactor, math.max(1.0, minTickSize / (atrValue/avgPrice)))
else if scalingMethod == "Price-Based"
math.min(maxScalingFactor, math.max(1.0, math.sqrt(100 / math.max(avgPrice, 0.01))))
else // Volume-Based
math.min(maxScalingFactor, math.max(1.0, math.sqrt(1000000 / math.max(volume, 100))))
3 MODIFIED RSI CALCULATION
EMARSI uses a specially formulated RSI calculation that works with an adaptive base value to maintain consistency across different price ranges:
// Adaptive RSI Base based on price levels to improve flow
adaptiveRsiBase = useAdaptiveScaling ? rsiBase * scalingFactor : rsiBase
// Calculate RSI components with adaptivity
up = ta.rma(math.max(ta.change(rsiSourceInput), adaptiveRsiBase), emaSlowLength)
down = ta.rma(-math.min(ta.change(rsiSourceInput), adaptiveRsiBase), rsiLengthInput)
// Improved RSI calculation with value constraint
rsi = down == 0 ? 100 : up == 0 ? 0 : 100 - (100 / (1 + up / down))
4 MOVING AVERAGE CROSSOVER SYSTEM
The indicator creates a smooth moving average of the RSI line, enabling a crossover system that generates trading signals:
// Calculate MA of mapped RSI
rsiMA = ma(mappedRsi, emaSlowLength, maTypeInput)
// Strategy entries
if ta.crossover(mappedRsi, rsiMA)
strategy.entry("RSI Long", strategy.long)
if ta.crossunder(mappedRsi, rsiMA)
strategy.entry("RSI Short", strategy.short)
5 VISUAL REFERENCE FRAMEWORK
The script includes visual guides that help interpret the RSI movement within the context of recent price action:
// Calculate pivot high and low
pQH = ta.highest(high, hlLen)
pQL = ta.lowest(low, hlLen)
median = (pQH + pQL) / 2
// Plotting
plot(pQH, "Pivot High", color=color.rgb(82, 228, 102, 90))
plot(pQL, "Pivot Low", color=color.rgb(231, 65, 65, 90))
med = plot(median, style=plot.style_steplinebr, linewidth=1, color=color.rgb(238, 101, 59, 90))
6 DYNAMIC COLOR SYSTEM
The indicator uses color fills to clearly visualize the relationship between the RSI and its moving average:
// Color fills based on RSI vs MA
colUp = mappedRsi > rsiMA ? input.color(color.rgb(128, 255, 0), '', group= 'RSI > EMA', inline= 'up') :
input.color(color.rgb(240, 9, 9, 95), '', group= 'RSI < EMA', inline= 'dn')
colDn = mappedRsi > rsiMA ? input.color(color.rgb(0, 230, 35, 95), '', group= 'RSI > EMA', inline= 'up') :
input.color(color.rgb(255, 47, 0), '', group= 'RSI < EMA', inline= 'dn')
fill(rsiPlot, emarsi, mappedRsi > rsiMA ? pQH : rsiMA, mappedRsi > rsiMA ? rsiMA : pQL, colUp, colDn)
7 REAL TIME PARAMETER MONITORING
A transparent information panel provides real-time feedback on the adaptive parameters being applied:
// Information display
var table infoPanel = table.new(position.top_right, 2, 3, bgcolor=color.rgb(0, 0, 0, 80))
if barstate.islast
table.cell(infoPanel, 0, 0, "Current Scaling Factor", text_color=color.white)
table.cell(infoPanel, 1, 0, str.tostring(scalingFactor, "#.###"), text_color=color.white)
table.cell(infoPanel, 0, 1, "Adaptive RSI Base", text_color=color.white)
table.cell(infoPanel, 1, 1, str.tostring(adaptiveRsiBase, "#.####"), text_color=color.white)
BENEFITS FOR TRADERS
INTUITIVE MOMENTUM VISUALIZATION
By mapping RSI directly onto the price chart, traders can immediately see the relationship between momentum and price without switching between different indicator windows.
ADAPTIVE TO ANY MARKET CONDITION
The three scaling methods (ATR-Based, Price-Based, and Volume-Based) ensure the indicator performs consistently across different market conditions, volatility regimes, and price levels.
PREVENTS EXTREME VALUES
The adaptive scaling system prevents the RSI from generating extreme values that exceed chart boundaries when trading low-priced securities or during high volatility periods.
CLEAR TRADING SIGNALS
The RSI and moving average crossover system provides clear entry signals that are visually reinforced through color changes, making it easy to identify potential trading opportunities.
SUITABLE FOR MULTIPLE TIMEFRAMES
The indicator works effectively across multiple timeframes, from intraday to daily charts, making it versatile for different trading styles and strategies.
TRANSPARENT PARAMETER ADJUSTMENT
The information panel provides real-time feedback on how the adaptive system is adjusting to current market conditions, helping traders understand why the indicator is behaving as it is.
CUSTOMIZABLE VISUALIZATION
Multiple visualization options including Bollinger Bands, different moving average types, and customizable colors allow traders to adapt the indicator to their personal preferences.
CONCLUSION
The EMARSI indicator represents a significant advancement in RSI visualization by directly mapping momentum onto price charts with adaptive scaling. This approach makes momentum shifts more intuitive to identify and helps prevent the scaling issues that commonly affect RSI-based indicators when applied to low-priced securities or volatile markets.

Introduction
Welcome to a comprehensive guide on a cutting-edge trading strategy I've developed, designed for the modern trader seeking an edge in today's dynamic markets. This strategy, which I've honed through my years of experience in the trading arena, stands out for its unique blend of technical analysis and market intuition, tailored specifically for use on the TradingView platform.
As a trader with a deep passion for the financial markets, my journey began several years ago, driven by a relentless pursuit of a trading methodology that is both effective and adaptable. My background in trading spans various market conditions and asset classes, providing me with a rich tapestry of experiences from which to draw. This strategy is the culmination of that journey, embodying the lessons learned and insights gained along the way.
The cornerstone of this strategy lies in its ability to generate precise long signals in a Stage 2 uptrend and equally accurate short signals in a Stage 4 downtrend. This approach is rooted in the principles of trend following and momentum trading, harnessing the power of key indicators such as the Momentum-RSI, EMA Crossover, and Average True Range (ATR). What sets this strategy apart is its meticulous design, which allows it to adapt to the ever-changing market conditions, providing traders with a robust tool for navigating both bullish and bearish scenarios.
This strategy was born out of a desire to create a trading system that is not only highly effective in identifying potential trade setups but also straightforward enough to be implemented by traders of varying skill levels. It's a reflection of my belief that successful trading hinges on clarity, precision, and disciplined execution. Whether you are a seasoned trader or just beginning your journey, this guide aims to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of how to harness the full potential of this strategy in your trading endeavors.
In the following sections, we will delve deeper into the mechanics of the strategy, its implementation, and how to make the most out of its features. Join me as we explore the nuances of a strategy that is designed to elevate your trading to the next level.
Stage-Specific Signal Generation
A distinctive feature of this trading strategy is its focus on generating long signals exclusively during Stage 2 uptrends and short signals during Stage 4 downtrends. This approach is based on the widely recognized market cycle theory, which divides the market into four stages: Stage 1 (accumulation), Stage 2 (uptrend), Stage 3 (distribution), and Stage 4 (downtrend). By aligning the signal generation with these specific stages, the strategy aims to capitalize on the most dynamic and clear-cut market movements, thereby enhancing the potential for profitable trades.
1. Long Signals in Stage 2 Uptrends
• Characteristics of Stage 2: Stage 2 is characterized by a strong uptrend, where prices are consistently rising. This stage typically follows a period of accumulation (Stage 1) and is marked by increased investor interest and bullish sentiment in the market.
• Criteria for Long Signal Generation: Long signals are generated during this stage when the technical indicators align with the characteristics of a Stage 2 uptrend.
• Rationale for Stage-Specific Signals: By focusing on Stage 2 for long trades, the strategy seeks to enter positions during the phase of strong upward momentum, thus riding the wave of rising prices and investor optimism. This stage-specific approach minimizes exposure to less predictable market phases, like the consolidation in Stage 1 or the indecision in Stage 3.
2. Short Signals in Stage 4 Downtrends
• Characteristics of Stage 4: Stage 4 is identified by a pronounced downtrend, with declining prices indicating prevailing bearish sentiment. This stage typically follows the distribution phase (Stage 3) and is characterized by increasing selling pressure.
• Criteria for Short Signal Generation: Short signals are generated in this stage when the indicators reflect a strong bearish trend.
• Rationale for Stage-Specific Signals: Targeting Stage 4 for shorting capitalizes on the market's downward momentum. This tactic aligns with the natural market cycle, allowing traders to exploit the downward price movements effectively. By doing so, the strategy avoids the potential pitfalls of shorting during the early or late stages of the market cycle, where trends are less defined and more susceptible to reversals.
In conclusion, the strategy’s emphasis on stage-specific signal generation is a testament to its sophisticated understanding of market dynamics. By tailoring the long and short signals to Stages 2 and 4, respectively, it leverages the most compelling phases of the market cycle, offering traders a clear and structured approach to aligning their trades with dominant market trends.
Strategy Overview
At the heart of this trading strategy is a philosophy centered around capturing market momentum and trend efficiency. The core objective is to identify and capitalize on clear uptrends and downtrends, thereby allowing traders to position themselves in sync with the market's prevailing direction. This approach is grounded in the belief that aligning trades with these dominant market forces can lead to more consistent and profitable outcomes.
The strategy is built on three foundational components, each playing a critical role in the decision-making process:
1. Momentum-RSI (Relative Strength Index): The Momentum-RSI is a pivotal element of this strategy. It's an enhanced version of the traditional RSI, fine-tuned to better capture the strength and velocity of market trends. By measuring the speed and change of price movements, the Momentum-RSI provides invaluable insights into whether a market is potentially overbought or oversold, suggesting possible entry and exit points. This indicator is especially effective in filtering out noise and focusing on substantial market moves.
2. EMA (Exponential Moving Average) Crossover: The EMA Crossover is a crucial component for trend identification. This strategy employs two EMAs with different timeframes to determine the market trend. When the shorter-term EMA crosses above the longer-term EMA, it signals an emerging uptrend, suggesting a potential long entry. Conversely, a crossover below indicates a possible downtrend, hinting at a short entry opportunity. This simple yet powerful tool is key in confirming trend directions and timing market entries.
3. ATR (Average True Range): The ATR is instrumental in assessing market volatility. This indicator helps in understanding the average range of price movements over a given period, thus providing a sense of how much a market might move on a typical day. In this strategy, the ATR is used to adjust stop-loss levels and to gauge the potential risk and reward of trades. It allows for more informed decisions by aligning trade management techniques with the current volatility conditions.
The synergy of these three components – the Momentum-RSI, EMA Crossover, and ATR – creates a robust framework for this trading strategy. By combining momentum analysis, trend identification, and volatility assessment, the strategy offers a comprehensive approach to navigating the markets. Whether it's capturing a strong trend in its early stages or identifying a potential reversal, this strategy aims to provide traders with the tools and insights needed to make well-informed, strategically sound trading decisions.
Detailed Component Analysis
The efficacy of this trading strategy hinges on the synergistic functioning of its three key components: the Momentum-RSI, EMA Crossover, and Average True Range (ATR). Each component brings a unique perspective to the strategy, contributing to a well-rounded approach to market analysis.
1. Momentum-RSI (Relative Strength Index)
• Definition and Function: The Momentum-RSI is a modified version of the classic Relative Strength Index. While the traditional RSI measures the velocity and magnitude of directional price movements, the Momentum-RSI amplifies aspects that reflect trend strength and momentum.
• Significance in Identifying Trend Strength: This indicator excels in identifying the strength behind a market's move. A high Momentum-RSI value typically indicates strong bullish momentum, suggesting the potential continuation of an uptrend. Conversely, a low Momentum-RSI value signals strong bearish momentum, possibly indicative of an ongoing downtrend.
• Application in Strategy: In this strategy, the Momentum-RSI is used to gauge the underlying strength of market trends. It helps in filtering out minor fluctuations and focusing on significant movements, providing a clearer picture of the market's true momentum.
2. EMA (Exponential Moving Average) Crossover
• Definition and Function: The EMA Crossover component utilizes two exponential moving averages of different timeframes. Unlike simple moving averages, EMAs give more weight to recent prices, making them more responsive to new information.
• Contribution to Market Direction: The interaction between the short-term and long-term EMAs is key to determining market direction. A crossover of the shorter EMA above the longer EMA is an indicator of an emerging uptrend, while a crossover below signals a developing downtrend.
• Application in Strategy: The EMA Crossover serves as a trend confirmation tool. It provides a clear, visual representation of the market's direction, aiding in the decision-making process for entering long or short positions. This component ensures that trades are aligned with the prevailing market trend, a crucial factor for the success of the strategy.
3. ATR (Average True Range)
• Definition and Function: The ATR is an indicator that measures market volatility by calculating the average range between the high and low prices over a specified period.
• Role in Assessing Market Volatility: The ATR provides insights into the typical market movement within a given timeframe, offering a measure of the market's volatility. Higher ATR values indicate increased volatility, while lower values suggest a calmer market environment.
• Application in Strategy: Within this strategy, the ATR is instrumental in tailoring risk management techniques, particularly in setting stop-loss levels. By accounting for the market's volatility, the ATR ensures that stop-loss orders are placed at levels that are neither too tight (risking premature exits) nor too loose (exposing to excessive risk).
In summary, the combination of Momentum-RSI, EMA Crossover, and ATR in this trading strategy provides a comprehensive toolkit for market analysis. The Momentum-RSI identifies the strength of market trends, the EMA Crossover confirms the market direction, and the ATR guides in risk management by assessing volatility. Together, these components form the backbone of a strategy designed to navigate the complexities of the financial markets effectively.
1. Signal Generation Process
• Combining Indicators: The strategy operates by synthesizing signals from the Momentum-RSI, EMA Crossover, and ATR indicators. Each indicator serves a specific purpose: the Momentum-RSI gauges trend momentum, the EMA Crossover identifies the trend direction, and the ATR assesses the market’s volatility.
• Criteria for Signal Validation: For a signal to be considered valid, it must meet specific criteria set by each of the three indicators. This multi-layered approach ensures that signals are not only based on one aspect of market behavior but are a result of a comprehensive analysis.
2. Conditions for Long Positions
• Uptrend Confirmation: A long position signal is generated when the shorter-term EMA crosses above the longer-term EMA, indicating an uptrend.
• Momentum-RSI Alignment: Alongside the EMA crossover, the Momentum-RSI should indicate strong bullish momentum. This is typically represented by the Momentum-RSI being at a high level, confirming the strength of the uptrend.
• ATR Consideration: The ATR is used to fine-tune the entry point and set an appropriate stop-loss level. In a low volatility scenario, as indicated by the ATR, the stop-loss can be set tighter, closer to the entry point.
3. Conditions for Short Positions
• Downtrend Confirmation: Conversely, a short position signal is indicated when the shorter-term EMA crosses below the longer-term EMA, signaling a downtrend.
• Momentum-RSI Confirmation: The Momentum-RSI should reflect strong bearish momentum, usually seen when the Momentum-RSI is at a low level. This confirms the bearish strength of the market.
• ATR Application: The ATR again plays a role in determining the stop-loss level for the short position. Higher volatility, as indicated by a higher ATR, would warrant a wider stop-loss to accommodate larger market swings.
By adhering to these mechanics, the strategy aims to ensure that each trade is entered with a high probability of success, aligning with the market’s current momentum and trend. The integration of these indicators allows for a holistic market analysis, providing traders with clear and actionable signals for both entering and exiting trades.
Customizable Parameters in the Strategy
Flexibility and adaptability are key features of this trading strategy, achieved through a range of customizable parameters. These parameters allow traders to tailor the strategy to their individual trading style, risk tolerance, and specific market conditions. By adjusting these parameters, users can fine-tune the strategy to optimize its performance and align it with their unique trading objectives. Below are the primary parameters that can be customized within the strategy:
1. Momentum-RSI Settings
• Period: The lookback period for the Momentum-RSI can be adjusted. A shorter period makes the indicator more sensitive to recent price changes, while a longer period smoothens the RSI line, offering a broader view of the momentum.
• Overbought/Oversold Thresholds: Users can set their own overbought and oversold levels, which can help in identifying extreme market conditions more precisely according to their trading approach.
2. EMA Crossover Settings
• Timeframes for EMAs: The strategy uses two EMAs with different timeframes. Traders can modify these timeframes, choosing shorter periods for a more responsive approach or longer periods for a more conservative one.
• Source Data: The choice of price data (close, open, high, low) used in calculating the EMAs can be varied depending on the trader’s preference.
3. ATR Settings
• Lookback Period: Adjusting the lookback period for the ATR impacts how the indicator measures volatility. A longer period may provide a more stable but less responsive measure, while a shorter period offers quicker but potentially more erratic readings.
• Multiplier for Stop-Loss Calculation: This parameter allows traders to set how aggressively or conservatively they want their stop-loss to be in relation to the ATR value.
Here are the standard settings:

The image above shows results after we applied the tool’s suggestions. New suggestions have appeared, and we will continue to apply them.
Continue to adjust settings as recommended by the optimizer. If no better options are found, the optimizer will suggest increasing the number of combinations. Repeat this process until the optimizer indicates that the optimal setting has been identified.
Success! With the "Best Found" notification, an optimized RSI is now active. The AI will keep refining the strategy based on ongoing performance, ensuring continuous optimization.
AI Mode
AI Mode incorporates Heuristic-Based Adaptive Learning to fine-tune trading strategies in a continuous manner. This feature consists of two main components:
Heuristic-Based Decision Making: The algorithm evaluates multiple RSI-based trading strategies using specific metrics such as Profit and Loss (PNL), Win Rate, and Most Efficient Profit. These metrics act as heuristics to assist the algorithm in identifying suitable strategies for trade execution.
Online Learning: The algorithm updates the performance evaluations of each strategy based on incoming market data. This enables the system to adapt to current market conditions.
Incorporating both heuristic-based decision-making and online learning, this feature aims to provide a framework for trading strategy optimization.
Settings
AI Mode Aggressiveness:
Description: The "AI Mode Aggressiveness" setting allows you to fine-tune the AI's trading behavior. This setting ranges from “Low” to “High”, with “High” indicating a more assertive trading approach.
Functionality: This feature filters trading strategies based on a proprietary evaluation method. A higher setting narrows down the strategies that the AI will consider, leaning towards more aggressive trading. Conversely, a lower setting allows for a more conservative approach by broadening the pool of potential strategies.
Adaptive Learning Aggressiveness:
Description: When Adaptive Learning is enabled, the "Adaptive Learning Aggressiveness" setting controls how dynamically the AI adapts to market conditions using selected performance metrics.
Functionality: This setting impacts the AI's responsiveness to shifts in strategy performance. By adjusting this setting, you can control how quickly the AI moves away from strategies that may have been historically successful but are currently underperforming, towards strategies that are showing current promise.
Optimization
Trading system optimization is immensely advantageous when executed with prudence.
Technical-oriented, mechanical trading systems work when a valid correlation is methodical to the extent that an objective, precisely-defined ruleset can consistently exploit it. If no such correlation exists, or a technical-oriented system is erroneously designed to exploit an illusory correlation (absent predictive utility), the trading system will fail.
Evaluate results practically and test parameters rigorously after discovery. Simply mining the best-performing parameters and immediately trading them is unlikely a winning strategy. Put as much effort into testing strong-performing parameters and building an accompanying system as you would any other trading strategy. Automated optimization involves curve fitting - it's the responsibility of the trader to validate a replicable sequence or correlation and the trading system that exploits it.
Multiple Timeframe RSI Bot for 3commas (works w/o 3commas too)Overview
A few days ago I wrote a new RSI-based strategy. The idea was that you could set up buy and sell RSI thresholds and when RSI crossed that threshold it would make a buy or a sell depending on which one it hit. It worked very well on multiple coins that I tested. I then started to think that maybe there was a better way to execute this concept using multiple timeframe RSIs and this bot represents that idea. It is better and more versatile than the previous bot in every single way. In fact at this point I think this is my most elegant bot to date. It's not as flashy as my other scipts but it is an extremely reliable performer and comes with lower risk than some of my other more outlandish automated trading ideas.
Concept
This script monitors the RSI of all timeframes you have picked in settings and displays chosen values on your chart. It defaults to 5m, 15m and 30m enabled with the rest of the timeframe options disabled and it will only show the RSI chart of timeframes you are currently using. You can specify one or more (in any combination) from the following list:
1m
5m
15m
30m
1h
4h
1d
1w
On each bar it checks each timeframe's RSI value to see if it is is lower (for a buy) or higher (for a sell) than the respective threshold you have picked in settings for that timeframe. On any given bar if enough of your used RSI values are above or below their respective thresholds to be equal to or greater than your set Number of Thresholds for Buy value a buy or sell is executed. In other words, when the number of total (different timeframed) RSI buy thresholds currently met is equal to or greater than the Number of Thresholds for a Buy value you set in settings, a buy is placed. Similarly, when the total number of differently timeframed RSI sell thresholds currently hit is equal to or greater than the total sell threshold you have in settings, a sell is placed.
I have had the best results using 5m, 15 and 30m together with the total threshold value for both buys and sells set to three which is what I left as the default. However, there are limitless ways to use this and I'm sure that over the coming months I will come up with some more creative ways to use it. Please experiment a bit and if you feel like sharing you can comment on this page as to what you find works best.
Like all my scripts this includes a date backtester. I have the start date set to Nov 1, 2021 because I feel you should never backtest a new strategy on older data if you don't specifically have a reason to do it. You likely won't get reliable results, hence the date selector.
Settings
Number of Thresholds for Buy
This is a global setting. You can use any positive whole number here that is one or greater. If it is set to one, one or more of the RSI thresholds you have selected for each chart timeframe will need to be lower than the RSI threshold value you have set for that particular timeframe's settings and once that happens the bot will buy. For example, if I have this value set to (1) and I am using a 5m, 15m and 30m chart, a buy will be placed on the first bar that any of these RSIs drop to below the respective value you have set for them in settings. If I have it set to two in the same scenario, I will need at least two RSI values to be below their respective thresholds. Since each RSI value is set separately you have a ton of creative options here. I refer to the number of currently met RSI buy thresholds per bar as 'buy count' going forward in this document. The buy count resets to zero each bar which means they will all need to be met on the same bar. You will need to make sure this setting is equal to or less than the number of differently timeframed RSIs you are using or it won't ever buy. For example, if you are using only a 5m and 15m RSI but I have the Number of Thresholds for Buy set to three it will never make a buy because you will have at max two thresholds met.
Number of Thresholds for Sell
This is the same concept above except for sells obviously. I chose to make these independent for maximum flexibility but you can obviously use the same value for both if you'd like. I refer to the number of currently met RSI sell thresholds as 'sell count' for the rest of this document. You will need to make sure this number is equal to or less than the number of differently timeframed RSIs you are using or you will potentially get a buy but never a sell. Use the backtester to figure this out or message me if you get stuck.
Display Multi RSI Table?
This will show you all of the available RSI settings that are currently in play. Note that only timeframes which are equal to or higher than your current TradingView chart timeframe will be accurate. This is due to the fact that these values are looked up once per bar, so if you are set to a 1h chart you won't get 5m values every 5m, instead getting the 5m RSI once per hour. For best results set your chart to the lowest timeframe that you have enabled from the options below this.
Use XX RSI?
This turns a particular timeframe's RSI off and on. If you turn it off it will disappear from the chart and its thresholds won't be applied to the strategy.
XX RSI Length
You can set the RSI length for each timeframe you want to use separately. The default value is 14.
XX RSI Buy / Sell Threshold
These are all also set separately for each timeframe. Any time XX timeframe's RSI is below the Buy Threshold for that timeframe it will increase the buy count by +1 for that bar. Since the count resets to zero each bar, you will need to have at least your Number of Thresholds for Buy worth of RSI values below their respective thresholds on any given bar for a buy to happen. The opposite is true for sells.
Usage
For each timeframe you pick you will also need to set a buy and a sell threshold. I have the defaults set to 30 and 70 which is pretty standard but you should experiment and see what works best for you. Each individual timeframe has its own buy and sell threshold which makes this script about as customizable as you want it to be.
Set your chart to the lowest timeframe that you are using, ie if you are using 1h, 4h and 1d use a 1h chart. If you are using 5m, 15m and 30m use a 5m chart. You need to do this because it will only refresh each RSI on the interval your chart is set to, so if you have 5m, 15m and 30m but use a 1h chart the strategy will basically lose most of its effectiveness because there should be twelve different 5m RSI values in each hour but you will only recalculate once every hour since your chart is set to one hour, and will therefore only get one 5m value, one 15m value and one 30m value per 1h bar. If you don't understand this just trust me and set it to the lowest timeframe you are currently using.
I didn't put a stop loss in this version but I will in the next update.
I think that's about it! If you have questions please ask. I give access to this script away for free for testing but in order to use it with 3commas you will need the entire script. Message me if you want it and we can figure something out.
Parabolic RSI Strategy [ChartPrime × PineIndicators]This strategy combines the strengths of the Relative Strength Index (RSI) with a Parabolic SAR logic applied directly to RSI values.
Full credit to ChartPrime for the original concept and indicator, licensed under the MPL 2.0.
It provides clear momentum-based trade signals using an innovative method that tracks RSI trend reversals via a customized Parabolic SAR, enhancing traditional oscillator strategies with dynamic trend confirmation.
How It Works
The system overlays a Parabolic SAR on the RSI, detecting trend shifts in RSI itself rather than on price, offering early reversal insight with visual and algorithmic clarity.
Core Components
1. RSI-Based Trend Detection
Calculates RSI using a customizable length (default: 14).
Uses upper and lower thresholds (default: 70/30) for overbought/oversold zones.
2. Parabolic SAR Applied to RSI
A custom Parabolic SAR function tracks momentum within the RSI, not price.
This allows the system to capture RSI trend reversals more responsively.
Configurable SAR parameters: Start, Increment, and Maximum acceleration.
3. Signal Generation
Long Entry: Triggered when the SAR flips below the RSI line.
Short Entry: Triggered when the SAR flips above the RSI line.
Optional RSI filter ensures that:
Long entries only occur above a minimum RSI (e.g. 50).
Short entries only occur below a maximum RSI.
Built-in logic prevents new positions from being opened against trend without prior exit.
Trade Modes & Controls
Choose from:
Long Only
Short Only
Long & Short
Optional setting to reverse positions on opposite signal (instead of waiting for a flat close).
Visual Features
1. RSI Plotting with Thresholds
RSI is displayed in a dedicated pane with overbought/oversold fill zones.
Custom horizontal lines mark threshold boundaries.
2. Parabolic SAR Overlay on RSI
SAR dots color-coded for trend direction.
Visible only when enabled by user input.
3. Entry & Exit Markers
Diamonds: Mark entry points (above for shorts, below for longs).
Crosses: Mark exit points.
Strategy Strengths
Provides early momentum reversal entries without relying on price candles.
Combines oscillator and trend logic without repainting.
Works well in both trending and mean-reverting markets.
Easy to configure with fine-tuned filter options.
Recommended Use Cases
Intraday or swing traders who want to catch RSI-based reversals early.
Traders seeking smoother signals than price-based Parabolic SAR entries.
Users of RSI looking to reduce false positives via trend tracking.
Customization Options
RSI Length and Thresholds.
SAR Start, Increment, and Maximum values.
Trade Direction Mode (Long, Short, Both).
Optional RSI filter and reverse-on-signal settings.
SAR dot color customization.
Conclusion
The Parabolic RSI Strategy is an innovative, non-repainting momentum strategy that enhances RSI-based systems with trend-confirming logic using Parabolic SAR. By applying SAR logic to RSI values, this strategy offers early, visualized, and filtered entries and exits that adapt to market dynamics.

APIBridge Advanced RSI + EMAUsing Pinescript, we will use charts of Cash/Future to trade in Options. Note this strategy works well with even the free version of TradingView.
The Relative Strength Index ( RSI ). Is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. The RSI oscillates between zero and 100. Increasing RSI shows increasing bullish momentum. Decreasing RSI shows increasing bearish momentum. We take RSI upper bound as 80 to indicate bullish momentum and RSI lower bound as 20 to indicate bearish momentum.
Since this strategy uses underlying data (cash/future) to place trades in Options, please ignore the backtest of this strategy given by TradingView. TradingView does not provide options data but this strategy bypasses it.

Multi-Timeframe RSI Grid Strategy with ArrowsKey Features of the Strategy
Multi-Timeframe RSI Analysis:
The strategy calculates RSI values for three different timeframes:
The current chart's timeframe.
Two higher timeframes (configurable via higher_tf1 and higher_tf2 inputs).
It uses these RSI values to identify overbought (sell) and oversold (buy) conditions.
Grid Trading System:
The strategy uses a grid-based approach to scale into trades. It adds positions at predefined intervals (grid_space) based on the ATR (Average True Range) and a grid multiplication factor (grid_factor).
The grid system allows for pyramiding (adding to positions) up to a maximum number of grid levels (max_grid).
Daily Profit Target:
The strategy has a daily profit target (daily_target). Once the target is reached, it closes all open positions and stops trading for the day.
Drawdown Protection:
If the open drawdown exceeds 2% of the account equity, the strategy closes all positions to limit losses.
Reverse Signals:
If the RSI conditions reverse (e.g., from buy to sell or vice versa), the strategy closes all open positions and resets the grid.
Visualization:
The script plots buy and sell signals as arrows on the chart.
It also plots the RSI values for the current and higher timeframes, along with overbought and oversold levels.
How It Works
Inputs:
The user can configure parameters like RSI length, overbought/oversold levels, higher timeframes, grid spacing, lot size multiplier, maximum grid levels, daily profit target, and ATR length.
RSI Calculation:
The RSI is calculated for the current timeframe and the two higher timeframes using ta.rsi().
Grid System:
The grid system uses the ATR to determine the spacing between grid levels (grid_space).
When the price moves in the desired direction, the strategy adds positions at intervals of grid_space, increasing the lot size by a multiplier (lot_multiplier) for each new grid level.
Entry Conditions:
A buy signal is generated when the RSI is below the oversold level on all three timeframes.
A sell signal is generated when the RSI is above the overbought level on all three timeframes.
Position Management:
The strategy scales into positions using the grid system.
It closes all positions if the daily profit target is reached or if a reverse signal is detected.
Visualization:
Buy and sell signals are plotted as arrows on the chart.
RSI values for all timeframes are plotted, along with overbought and oversold levels.
Example Scenario
Suppose the current RSI is below 30 (oversold), and the RSI on the 60-minute and 240-minute charts is also below 30. This triggers a buy signal.
The strategy enters a long position with a base lot size.
If the price moves against the position by grid_space, the strategy adds another long position with a larger lot size (scaled by lot_multiplier).
This process continues until the maximum grid level (max_grid) is reached or the daily profit target is achieved.
Key Variables
grid_level: Tracks the current grid level (number of positions added).
last_entry_price: Tracks the price of the last entry.
base_size: The base lot size for the initial position.
daily_profit_target: The daily profit target in percentage terms.
target_reached: A flag to indicate whether the daily profit target has been achieved.
Potential Use Cases
This strategy is suitable for traders who want to combine RSI-based signals with a grid trading approach to capitalize on mean-reverting price movements.
It can be used in trending or ranging markets, depending on the RSI settings and grid parameters.
Limitations
The grid trading system can lead to significant drawdowns if the market moves strongly against the initial position.
The strategy relies heavily on RSI, which may produce false signals in strongly trending markets.
The daily profit target may limit potential gains in highly volatile markets.
Customization
You can adjust the input parameters (e.g., RSI length, overbought/oversold levels, grid spacing, lot multiplier) to suit your trading style and market conditions.
You can also modify the drawdown protection threshold or add additional filters (e.g., volume, moving averages) to improve the strategy's performance.
In summary, this script is a sophisticated trading strategy that combines RSI-based signals with a grid trading system to manage entries, exits, and position sizing. It includes features like daily profit targets, drawdown protection, and multi-timeframe analysis to enhance its robustnes
Global Index Spread RSI StrategyThis strategy leverages the relative strength index (RSI) to monitor the price spread between a global benchmark index (such as AMEX) and the currently opened asset in the chart window. By calculating the spread between these two, the strategy uses RSI to identify oversold and overbought conditions to trigger buy and sell signals.
Key Components:
Global Benchmark Index: The strategy compares the current asset with a predefined global index (e.g., AMEX) to measure relative performance. The choice of a global benchmark allows the trader to analyze the current asset's movement in the context of broader market trends.
Spread Calculation:
The spread is calculated as the percentage difference between the current asset's closing price and the global benchmark index's closing price:
Spread=Current Asset Close−Global Index CloseGlobal Index Close×100
Spread=Global Index CloseCurrent Asset Close−Global Index Close×100
This metric provides a measure of how the current asset is performing relative to the global index. A positive spread indicates the asset is outperforming the benchmark, while a negative spread signals underperformance.
RSI of the Spread: The RSI is then calculated on the spread values. The RSI is a momentum oscillator that ranges from 0 to 100 and is commonly used to identify overbought or oversold conditions in asset prices. An RSI below 30 is considered oversold, indicating a potential buying opportunity, while an RSI above 70 is overbought, suggesting that the asset may be due for a pullback.
Strategy Logic:
Entry Condition: The strategy enters a long position when the RSI of the spread falls below the oversold threshold (default 30). This suggests that the asset may have been oversold relative to the global benchmark and might be due for a reversal.
Exit Condition: The strategy exits the long position when the RSI of the spread rises above the overbought threshold (default 70), indicating that the asset may have become overbought and a price correction is likely.
Visual Reference:
The RSI of the spread is plotted on the chart for visual reference, making it easier for traders to monitor the relative strength of the asset in relation to the global benchmark.
Overbought and oversold levels are also drawn as horizontal reference lines (70 and 30), along with a neutral level at 50 to show market equilibrium.
Theoretical Basis:
The strategy is built on the mean reversion principle, which suggests that asset prices tend to revert to a long-term average over time. When prices move too far from this mean—either being overbought or oversold—they are likely to correct back toward equilibrium. By using RSI to identify these extremes, the strategy aims to profit from price reversals.
Mean Reversion: According to financial theory, asset prices oscillate around a long-term average, and any extreme deviation (overbought or oversold conditions) presents opportunities for price corrections (Poterba & Summers, 1988).
Momentum Indicators (RSI): The RSI is widely used in technical analysis to measure the momentum of an asset. Its application to the spread between the asset and a global benchmark allows for a more nuanced view of relative performance and potential turning points in the asset's price trajectory.
Practical Application:
This strategy works best in markets where relative strength is a key factor in decision-making, such as in equity indices, commodities, or forex markets. By assessing the performance of the asset relative to a global benchmark and utilizing RSI to identify extremes in price movements, the strategy helps traders to make more informed decisions based on potential mean reversion points.
While the "Global Index Spread RSI Strategy" offers a method for identifying potential price reversals based on relative strength and oversold/overbought conditions, it is important to recognize that no strategy is foolproof. The strategy assumes that the historical relationship between the asset and the global benchmark will hold in the future, but financial markets are subject to a wide array of unpredictable factors that can lead to sudden changes in price behavior.
Risk of False Signals:
The strategy relies heavily on the RSI to trigger buy and sell signals. However, like any momentum-based indicator, RSI can generate false signals, particularly in highly volatile or trending markets. In such conditions, the strategy may enter positions too early or exit too late, leading to potential losses.
Market Context:
The strategy may not account for macroeconomic events, news, or other market forces that could cause sudden shifts in asset prices. External factors, such as geopolitical developments, monetary policy changes, or financial crises, can cause a divergence between the asset and the global benchmark, leading to incorrect conclusions from the strategy.
Overfitting Risk:
As with any strategy that uses historical data to make decisions, there is a risk of overfitting the model to past performance. This could result in a strategy that works well on historical data but performs poorly in live trading conditions due to changes in market dynamics.
Execution Risks:
The strategy does not account for slippage, transaction costs, or liquidity issues, which can impact the execution of trades in real-market conditions. In fast-moving markets, prices may move significantly between order placement and execution, leading to worse-than-expected entry or exit prices.
No Guarantee of Profit:
Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. The strategy should be used with caution, and risk management techniques (such as stop losses and position sizing) should always be implemented to protect against significant losses.
Traders should thoroughly test and adapt the strategy in a simulated environment before applying it to live trades, and consider seeking professional advice to ensure that their trading activities align with their risk tolerance and financial goals.
