What it does
It combines RSI and a moving average. The exact entry and exit rules, the thresholds and the risk settings are part of the Pro plan, so they are not shown on this page.
Rules and settings
The entry and exit conditions, the stop-loss and the maximum holding period are shown on the strategy card in the Pro plan. The free plan includes 32 other strategies whose rules are fully shown in this library.
The idea behind it
Mean-reversion rules buy a sharp dip, using an oversold reading or a stretch away from an average, often only while the longer-term trend is intact.
The bet it makes
It bets that a price stretched far from its usual level snaps back toward it.
When it tends to struggle
A stretched price can keep stretching. In a strong downtrend a dip is not a bargain, it is the trend, and a rule that keeps buying it can take repeated losses.
Test it on paper
