Strategy Logic

The Dual RSI strategy trades using two Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicators, a fast RSI and a slow RSI, both allowing trades in the same direction.

The logic is:

Calculate a fast RSI (e.g. 16 period) and slow RSI (e.g. 31 period)
See Also
RSI-VWAP Price-Volume Strategy - FMZ the RSI 2P strategy from Larry Connors.
Long signals are generated when the fast RSI crosses below oversold level (e.g. 30)
Long signals also triggered when the slow RSI crosses below oversold level
Fast and slow RSI can both signal longs on the same day
Fast RSI closing above 70 exits the trade
Slow RSI closing above 68 exits the trade
A trailing stop loss is set

The dual RSI identifies opportunities in overbought/oversold regions. Combining fast and slow lines allows multi-step entries to ride trends. The stop loss controls risk.

Advantages

Fast/slow RSI validate and reduce false signals
Multi-step entries to fully capitalize on trends
Different profit take and stop loss levels
Trailing stop further manages risk

Risks

Requires optimization of the RSI parameters
Dual entries increase risk exposure
Stop loss too close risks getting stopped out

Summary

The dual RSI strategy utilizes two timeframes for entries while controlling risk. Parameter optimization and strict stops are key. Overall it suits trend-following of mid- to long-term directional moves.
