Relative Strength Index (RSI) Entry Settings

How to enter a trade based on the RSI indicator

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) Entry Settings allow you to control when your bot enters a trade based on momentum and overbought/oversold conditions. By selecting a timeframe and RSI threshold, you can make sure trades only happen when market strength aligns with your strategy.

What Is the RSI?

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and size of recent price changes on a scale of 0 to 100.

  • High RSI (e.g., above 70) = overbought conditions (asset may be due for a pullback).

  • Low RSI (e.g., below 30) = oversold conditions (asset may be due for a bounce).

How the Settings Work

When creating or editing an Auto Trader, you’ll find the RSI Entry Rule under Entry Settings.

  • Timeframe: Choose the chart timeframe the RSI is calculated from (e.g., 1-minute, 1-hour, or daily chart).

  • Minimum RSI: Trade only if RSI is greater than or equal to the set value.

  • Maximum RSI: Trade only if RSI is less than or equal to the set value.

  • Both: You can define a range (e.g., only trade if RSI is between 30 and 70).

⚠ RSI values must be set as whole numbers (e.g., 30, 50, 70).

Example

  1. Oversold Bounce Strategy

    • You want to enter trades only when the market is oversold.

    • Set Timeframe = Daily, Max RSI = 30.

    • The bot will only enter trades if the RSI on the daily chart is 30 or lower.

  2. Overbought Fade Strategy

    • You want to sell options when the market looks overextended.

    • Set Timeframe = 1 Hour, Min RSI = 70.

    • The bot will only enter trades if the RSI on the 1-hour chart is 70 or higher.

  3. Neutral Range Strategy

    • You only want to trade when RSI is in the middle zone.

    • Set Min RSI = 40, Max RSI = 60.

    • The bot will only enter trades if RSI stays between 40 and 60.

Why This Matters

  • Filters trades based on momentum conditions.

  • Helps you avoid entering trades when the market is stretched too far.

  • Lets you automate common RSI strategies like overbought selling or oversold buying.

Summary

  • RSI measures momentum on a scale of 0–100.

  • You choose the timeframe (1-minute, 1-hour, daily).

  • Set Min, Max, or both to control when trades can enter.

  • Great for strategies based on overbought/oversold conditions.
