Twin RSI
This is a mechanical yet simple trading strategy. Just follow the steps that I am going to explain below, and you will find your trading job very much easier and stress free.
First, the chart setup (a template has been attached for your convenience). Fast rsi (yellow) period =2, high level = 70 and low level = 30. Slow rsi (red) period = 14, upper range =56, lower range = 44. Both rsi’s are set in the same window.
There are 3 trading strategies that one can apply using the same chart setup. I will explain one of them that will generate more trades. The underlying principles behind the strategy are:
1) Market is moving in sideway directions.
2) Any spike up or down will not last for long. There is a high chance that the market will reverse in the opposite direction after a spike.
3) Open an order against the spike direction to profit from its eventual reversal.
4) Choosing currencies that is highly correlated (https://www.myfxbook.com/forex-market/correlation) which tend to be more stable.
5) Make sure there is no imminent high impact news on the pair that you are going to trade.
6) Avoid high volatility, we are looking for a quiet and stable movements for the targeted pair.
7) I prefer to trade on H4 timeframes. Cost of market spreads will form a higher proportion to the net profit or loss for trading the lower timeframes.
Open buy market orders.
1) Slow rsi must stay in between the upper and lower range.
2) At the close of a down bar (open > close), preferably with bigger candle body.
3) Fast rsi penetrated from above, crossing the upper and lower range together.
4) Fast rsi must close above the low level.
5) Open a buy market order at the close of the bar.

Stop loss.
1) When fast rsi closes below 15 level and or slow rsi closes below lower range
2) When trader’s pre-set stop loss level is triggered

Take profit.
1) When the fast rsi closes above upper level
2) When trader’s pre-set take profit level is triggered
Notes:
Use the reverse steps to trade for sell orders.
There are ways to improve the yields of the strategy depending on the trader’s risk profile.
1) Use trend indicators like ADX, Momentum, etc to further confirm the sideway markets.
2) Use currency strength meter to select two currencies that have similar strengths.
3) Alter the rsi parameters to increase/reduce the risks.
Good luck!

Hi, Interesting concept. Could this be made into an EA I wonder. How long have you used this for and how's it going so far?

Hi and thanks for sharing.

Could you explain how do you define the lot size of your trades?

Where do you place your initial stop loss?

Thank you

If you wish to code the strategy into an ea, I can help you to write a full specifications including host of other safety features

Lot size will depend on your capital and the leverage provided by your broker.
The size of stop loss depends on timeframe volatility of the forex pair.
You can use
fixed stop loss or
depend on slow rsi crossing over upper or lower range or
fast rsi crossing high or low level
Whichever is met earlier

Hi, if you provide the full specifications I will get it coded as a TradingView strategy and use that to do a decent backtest on multiple currencies and timeframes. I will share the TV strategy here so others can do the same.

You mention selecting highly correlated pairs because they are more stable. That usually means one forex pair vs another (e.g. EURUSD vs GBPUSD), however we of course only trade one pair, not two. Do you mean low-volatility pairs (see Forex Volatility - Mataf) rather than highly correlated pairs? Agreed the use of a currency meter may be a better tool in real-time. What is the process that you use to select the forex pair(s)? Finally, do you find that this strategy is more successful during the Asian session when volatility is lower than the London or US session and for pairs like non-Yen, non-AUD or non-NZD pairs that exhibit relatively lower volatility (<20 pip moves/hour) during the Asian Session (e.g. EURUSD)? Thx

We can’t run an EA on TradingView... but it’s backtesting capability is vastly superior, but we would need to code a TradingView strategy to do that. So the thought was to do two things

1 develop a TradingView strategy for backtesting and optimizing.
2 develop an MT4 EA for trading

If you are interested I can take care of the first item. Someone else on here can do the second item.

Your call.

What I mean is correlated currencies, 2 currencies having the same currency strength. Understanding the market sessions and each pair's behaviour will give you more accurate stop loss and take profit levels. That can be achieved by downloading its historical data, focusing on a specific market session and perform some statistical calculations.

your chart and template show rsi high/low level as 85/15, please clarify which to use.

You ca set your own preference
70/30 is more conservative, lesser trades higher winning rates. Need not mean higher total profits because average profits will be smaller.
85/15 has higher risks with higher returns

No,
but it is simple to draw manually, (no body here better than others, and me may be the lowest)
sharp meaning does not need any explanation . .
i try to program it in MAHAL .. but time is short, need more programming conditions to filter acute/flat channels .. you know!!

advantage of these channels/trends > >> probable swing target in the same day . . .
