OPEN-SOURCE SCRIPT
RSI Buy & Sell Trading Script
Updated
This is my first attempt at a trading script using the RSI indicator for Buy & Sell signals (so please be nice but would appreciate any constructive comments).
Starting with $100 initial capital and using 10% per trade
You can select which month the backtesting starts
There is also a monthly table (sorry can’t remember who I got this from) that shows the total monthly profits, but you’ll need to turn it on by going into settings, Properties and in the Recalculate section tick the “On every tick” box
It should do the following:
Open Buy order if the RSI > 68 and the current Moving Average is greater than the previous Moving average
• TP1 = 50% of Order at 0.4%
• TP2 = 50% of order at 0.8%
• SL = 2% below entry
• Close Buy order if the RSI < 30
Open Sell order if the RSI < 28 and the current Moving Average is less than the previous Moving average
• TP1 = 50% of Order at 0.4%
• TP2 = 50% of order at 0.8%
• SL = 2% above entry
• Close Buy order if the RSI < 60
I would like to build on this if you have any ideas/ code that could help like the following:
• Move the SL to break even when it hits TP1
• Move the SL to TP1 when TP2 hits
• Moving take profit code so I can let the some of the trade stay in play (activate if it hits 1% profit and close trade if price retracts 0.5%)
