RSI Indicator: Best Settings for Day Trading Strategies Short-term intraday traders (day trading) often use lower settings with periods in the range of 9-11. Medium-term swing traders frequently use the default period setting of 14. Longer-term position traders often set it at a higher period, in the range of 20-30.
To use the RSI indicator, check if the value is above 70 to show an asset is overbought, or below 30 to show it is oversold. Traders can use these signals to find possible trading opportunities
