Cumulative RSI signal

Postby Nikolay.Gekht » Tue Jun 15, 2010 9:17 am

The signal is described in Chapter 9 of Trading Strategies That Work by Larry Connors and Cesar Alvarez.

The signal logic is the following:
1) Trade when the price is over 200 moving average
2) Enter long when Cumulative RSI(2, 2) crosses below 35
3) Exit when RSI(2) crosses above 65.

MA parameters, RSI parameters and levels are customizable.

The books reported that the strategy worked well on indexes in daily time frame. However, the default parameter looks like that must be tuned for the FOREX.
