Stochastic RSI Trading Strategy

This strategy trades based on crossover signals from the Stochastic RSI indicator.

The specific entry rules are:

  • Enter long when Stochastic RSI crosses above 30

  • Enter short when Stochastic RSI crosses below 70

Additional entry filters:

  • Longs require 9-period SMA above 21-period SMA

  • Shorts require 9-period SMA below 21-period SMA

  • Longs only below VWAP, shorts only above VWAP

The strategy uses stop loss and take profit for risk management:

  • Stop loss set at 20 ticks for both longs and shorts

  • Take profit set at 25 ticks for both longs and shorts

The key advantage is using Stochastic RSI to identify overbought/oversold regions combined with SMA and VWAP filters to reduce false signals. However, this strategy works better in trending rather than range-bound markets.
