RSI-Based Trading Strategy: Custom Parameters

Strategy parameters

Up to five symbols, separated by spaces or commas.

Customize your RSI strategy using the form. Choose the indicator period and thresholds, then set the dates and starting balance.

Parameter Guide

  • Time frame: choose up to five years, ending no later than yesterday.
  • Initial account balance: the cash available to all selected stocks.
  • RSI calculation period: 2–200 trading sessions; the default is 14.
  • Execution: signals use the daily close and fill at the next session’s open, when cash is available.

Buying Shares (RSI Below 30)

The default rule buys one share for each session when RSI is below 30. This tests an oversold-price hypothesis. Change the buy threshold to test a different rule.

Selling Shares (RSI Above 65)

The default rule sells all held shares of a stock when RSI rises above 65. The sell threshold must be higher than the buy threshold.

Prices are split-adjusted. The simulation excludes dividends, fees, slippage, taxes, and interest. Historical results do not predict future returns.
