RSI Pullback in the Daily Trend
A built-in strategy on Central Command, tested on BloFin history. Held up on its coins, not on others. 4H candles, long and short, category Multi-Timeframe.
Rules
Entry. On a closed 4H candle, go long when RSI(14) is below 30, the last daily close is above its EMA(50) and the daily EMA(20) is above the daily EMA(50). Go short when RSI(14) is above 70 and both daily conditions are the other way round.
Managing the trade. Close a long when RSI(14) rises above 60; close a short when it falls below 40. Close after 30 candles at most.
Stop and target. Stop 2.5 x ATR(14) from the entry. No fixed target: the RSI exit takes the profit.
