Indicator signals
The signal of the RSI on MA on RSI indicator will be the intersection of the moving averages, taking into account the position of the RSI line with level 20, that is, the oversold zone, level 50 and level 80 - the overbought zone. After creating certain conditions on the candle, any trade may be opened.
Conditions for Buy trades:
- - The RSI line located in the indicator window crosses the level 50 from the bottom up, while it is important that it does not cross the level 80.
- - Under this condition, the RSI on MA line crosses the MA on RSI, so that the first is above the second.
After the appearance of such conditions on a certain candle, a long position is opened, which should be closed after the reverse intersection of the moving averages or after the RSI line passes the overbought zone.
Signal for Sell trades:
- -The RSI line, after crossing the level of 80, begins to move downward, crossing the level of 50. It is important that it does not reach the oversold zone, that is, level 20.
- -MA on RSI crosses RSI on MA from below upwards and is above it.
After all the conditions match on a certain candle, a short position can be opened. Such trade should be closed when the moving averages cross or level 20 is crossed by the RSI line.
