Double RSI Strategy(ALMA RSI + Hull RSI)

13 ส.ค. 2019

We're back at it with a brand new strategy centered around an Arnaud Legoux RSI and Hull RSI. This one took a lot longer to make than usual, which is the reason there hasn't been any new posts the last week.

The first component of the strategy is the Hull RSI. The Hull RSI is shown in light blue and its upper and lower bounds are plotted as the dark pink and teal horizontal lines. Applying a Hull Moving Average to the RSI results in higher smoothness and less false signals. The lengths of the RSI and the HMA of the RSI can both be adjusted by the user.

We then used a similar process to calculate an Arnaud Legoux Moving Average(ALMA) of the RSI. The ALMA RSI is shown as the solid white line, while its upper and lower thresholds are the green and red horizontal lines. The ALMA RSI is a great tool since it is adaptable for multiple different uses - users can adjust the offset, sigma, and length values to modify the RSI's responsiveness and smoothness.
Input Options for ALMA RSI:
-Offset : Value in range {0,1} that adjusts the curve of the Gaussian Distribution. A higher value will result in higher responsiveness but lower smoothness. A lower value will mean higher smoothness but less responsiveness.
-Length : The lookback for each ALMA calculation.
-Sigma : Defines the sharpe of the curve coefficients.

The entry and exit signals generated by the Hull RSI are represented by the small green(buy) and red(sell) circles, while the green and red vertical highlights are the ALMA RSI's buy and sell signals. By default, we set the pyramiding to 3, with 50% equity used in each trade to allow the ALMA to make the longer-term swing trades and higher frequency trades made with the Hull RSI.

The strategy will be posted on our website, ProfitProgrammers.com, soon. As always, we will be offering 3 day trials for this strategy so feel free to send a quick message to start the trial period!
