How It Works

The RSI Crossback strategy identifies mean reversion opportunities by monitoring RSI-14 crossing back from oversold (<30) or overbought (>70) zones. Unlike simple RSI threshold strategies, it waits for the crossback confirmation — the RSI must exit the extreme zone before triggering, reducing false signals in trending markets. Combined with ATR-14 for dynamic stop-loss placement and EMA-200 for trend filtering.

When This Strategy Works Best

Best in ranging markets and after strong momentum exhaustion. Less effective during sustained trends.
