Double RSI Trading System for Forex

The trading system that we are going to present below is based on the use of two RSIs, as the name implies, specifically the crossings of two RSIs with different periods (One with a short period and the other with a longer period). As a filter of the signals generated by the crossings, the Fisher indicator is used, which allows having more reliable trading signals, since RSI crossings under certain market conditions can generate false signals and losses that could be avoided with the right filter.

The system itself is not complex. Long positions are opened at the RSI bullish crosses and short positions at the RSI bearish crosses. The Fisher indicator is used as a tool to confirm the different signals.

As always, it is recommended to test the system in a demo account before using it to trade with real money.

Perfect Order Trading Strategy – Description and Example

What is the perfect order?

The perfect order of moving averages is defined as a set of simple or exponential moving averages that are aligned consecutively depending on the trend. For example, in the case of a bullish trend, a perfect order would be that a moving average of 10 periods were in a higher price level to a moving average of 20 periods which in turn would be higher than a moving average of 50 periods and so on. In other words, in an upward trend, moving averages are aligned from major to minor period upwards.

In the case of a downtrend, the opposite is true, ie that moving averages are lined up from smallest to largest period. For example, above the 10 period moving average would be the moving average of 20 periods which in turn would be below the moving average of 50 periods and so on. This alignment of moving averages is the basis of the perfect order trading strategy that we will describe below:

Example of a perfect order in an uptrend:

Trading strategy based on the Parabolic SAR and volume

The Parabolic system price/time is another idea that introduced the famous Welles Wilder in his book “New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems“. This system was developed as a high and reversal strategy, which means that a trader using this approach will always have either a buy position or a short position in the market. Here we must remember that when the Parabolic SAR generates a buy signal, for example, a series of bullish points  appears below the current price action. As the market moves higher, the indicator points also rise, first slowly and then faster.

When the trend is stopped or begins to reverse, points and prices intersect, in which case a long position is closed and a new short position is open. For this system, we want to determine whether the addition of a volume requirement for Parabolic SAR entry signals can improve the performance of these signals. For example, the buy signal for this system is when a high in price reaches a point of Parabolic SAR above the market with a volume higher than the simple moving average of 5 periods (five bars) of volume. Both conditions must be met in the same bar.
