Hi

I saw the site to bulkowski. Where he explaines a RSI trading strategy. What i was wondering if its possible to not sell ris when it passes 80 but when it passes and then fall below 80 = sell.

And then do the the opposite on the buy dont buy when it crosses below rsi under 30 but when it cross under and the passes over again ?

"# For a buy, the look back is 16 days.
# Buy when the RSI drops to or below 19 and then climbs above it. This used to be 20 but I felt the portfolio was buying too frequently. The 19 value boosted performance and cut the maximum potential loss, a win-win situation.
# Do not buy if the previous trade in the same stock was a loss and it occurred within 31 days (the wash sale rule).
# For a sale, the look back is 14 days.
# Sell when the RSI climbs to or above 80 and then drops below it."

Yes, it's possible. See TurnDown/TurnUp in the QuickRef, and check for the RSI level at bar-1 relative to when the Turnup/Turndown happened.

Apart from lousy block formatting, there's nothing wrong with it. It runs just fine.

No. It has to be translated.

It in fact would buy if the conditions occur that permit it. RSI doesn't often go outside the 80/20 range.

Im not to sure if the script dose as it should: buy when the stocks fall below 19 and the rises over the 19 limit again, and the opposite on sell rule

It should say

if rsi is under < 19 and and
the turn above rsi > 20
Then buy

Sure it does, but it's better checking the threshold at bar-1 like this:

So with a sell function it would look something like this ? ( it this system is correct as bulkowski describes it its probably the worst i have with trading fiction comission=4 Slippage =5 and 4% intrest rate on cash)

Once again wld have helped me find the real profit from the "gurus" of TA

By the way, have you looked into setting the RSI thresholds adaptively? There were one or two AT Mag articles that touched the topic - for instance:

Adaptive RSI 2.0 System

Adaptivity is the key (or one of the keys, to be precise), and it could do better than just some fixed number like 19.
