Reads RSI at its midline rather than its extremes, to catch a move early enough to clear a barrier.

How it works

  1. Read for its extremes, RSI is a reversal tool, and a reversal has to travel from a standing start.
  2. Read at its midline it says selling has taken over from buying, near the start of the move.
  3. That is when a barrier is cheapest to clear, so the bot buys Lower there.
  4. An EMA has to agree on direction first, because RSI crosses the midline constantly in a flat market.
  5. A margin either side of the midline keeps that jitter from reading as a crossing.
  • Buys Lower only
  • RSI midline, not extremes
  • EMA has to agree
  • Barrier away from entry spot
  • Loss cooldown
  • Martingale with cap

Staking
