Thesis

Buy oversold RSI dips, but only when price is still above the 50 EMA.

Fits Confluence setups — works best when the underlying market behavior matches the thesis, and breaks down when it doesn't. Pair with the backtester's walk-forward mode before committing real capital.

Cleaner equity curve than vanilla RSI mean reversion because the EMA filter cuts the worst counter-trend trades. Fewer setups, but each one comes with a stacked deck.

Indicators

  • rsi14RSI (period 14)

    14-bar momentum oscillator; the 35 threshold is slightly looser than the classic 30 to fire alongside the trend filter.

  • ema50EMA (period 50)

    Long-horizon trend baseline. Price above EMA(50) is treated as 'still in an uptrend' — dips below the EMA are skipped.

Entry conditions

The bot opens a position the bar after every condition below has fired.

  • RSI(14) below 35 AND
  • Close is above the 50-bar EMA — the dip is with the trend, not against it.

Exit conditions

Any of the conditions below will close the position.

  • RSI(14) above 65, OR close drops below EMA(50).
  • Hard 2.5% stop; 5% take-profit.

Expected behavior

Cleaner equity curve than vanilla RSI mean reversion because the EMA filter cuts the worst counter-trend trades. Fewer setups, but each one comes with a stacked deck.

Equity-curve character, not a return forecast. Backtests are not promises about live performance.

Open the template in the dashboard to backtest it on BTC, ETH, or any CCXT symbol — or copy the YAML into the Strategy Designer to edit it first.
