Regime Adjusted RSI System

[Do Or Die 10]

This follows from the discussions Trading Regime Analysis Using RSI

Trading on daily time frame:

• Using RSI(10) and look back period of 25 bars
  
• Buy when the RSI suggests uptrend AND it bounces off from 40-50 level
  
• Trade delay is applied with buying at next bar open for realistic trades
  
• Initial stop is (Low of Buy bar - twice average bar range) ; protective stop of 15% throughout the trade
  
• Sell when stop is hit or RSI changes trend.
  
• Long-only, because on daily time frame speed of downtrend tends to be much higher than uptrend, and so symmetric conditions for Long/Short do not work
  
• Tested on a random sample of around 75 stocks. Max open positions are 4 and 25% of equity per trade
  
• No optimization at any stage

Confused a bit here.

 

You state:

 

Using RSI(10) and look back period of 25 bars

 

But that looks to me you're using a RSI with a 10 period (last 10 bars), so what's up with the look back period of 25...?

 

Other than that: like your posts and explanation. Nice work.

 

Cheers,

Hi,

 

Please refer the title 'Trading Regime Analysis Using RSI' as mentioned above.

 

RSI(10) is used, looking back upto 25 bars of history only to decide whether the trend is upside, downside or ranging.

 

Cheers.
