New Improved! 2 Period RSI Trading Strategy

Watch to see how I improve an old 2 period RSI strategy from Larry Connors and Cesar Alvarez for trading the S&P 500 / Emini.
I take a popular mean reversion trading strategy originally documented by Connors and Alvarez in their book "Short term trading strategies that work" and attempt to make improvements.

Ive been implementing 2 Day Period RSI strategy on the Daily Charts for 2 years. I found some success when the RSI read 0.99 or below.. It led me to AMC at 2.00 (Check the Charts!). For 1 Year now.. I'm finding better success, when the 2 DAY Period RSI on the Weekly Chart, reads 0.10 and below for entry. These are for any kind of stocks. Penny to Large Cap. It gives the RSI time to breathe a little bit. And if the stock drowns or stays flat for the entire week, that's only in your favor! You either Average down or just sit tight. IMO, this gets you close to the bottom before a spike in the RSI happens.

[@jsunproter1940]

Yeah after dozens and dozens of backtests in various markets on various time frames I've come to the conclusion this can work on nearly everything on the daily timeframe. So its very robust and not overfitted at all. And this is using the exact rules you laid out. I've also done very well with other rule sets still using the RSI 2. And Testing with many kinds of take profit strategies and stop strategies I've found that giving it a 1.5/1 reward to risk using a stop just below the low of the entry candle has done very well. Thanks for the strategy. You do trading a great service Jarrod with your honestly and are a refreshing oasis in a sea of wannabe bullshitters on KZbin.

[@berchtoldsveryown]

A very insightful video. I appreciate the baby steps it takes to master the ropes of profitable trading. Most traders are searching for that elusive method where they never lose or can win eight or nine trades out of 10, amassing huge profits in a short amount of time with no risk, which I'd say is ill advised. >

Trading successfully takes time. There is always SOME level of risk, which needs to be understood and managed.

Trading is just like anything else in life. You will be burned if you do not come prepared. Only a few people have turned $1,000 into hundreds of thousands of dollars. The majority of people will not.

[@miranda-sun]

The problem is that some strategies are extremely difficult to grasp and difficult to incorporate into my trading strategy; to be honest, it's extremely exhausting.

[@berchtoldsveryown]

@@miranda-sun It's best to experiment with what works for you, understand it, and stick to it. Trading is mentally taxing; you're probably better off hiring a professional to trade for you. It's a safer way to reduce risk and earn while learning.

I'd love you test a really simple strategy for me: trade long with a finish above the 33sma when it first doesn't make contact with the sma, and short whe it finishes below, again, on the first bar that doesnt make contact with it. Stops to be put at the most recent high or low pivot. Love your videos. Cheers, Mark.

Will this work on individual stocks with long above the 200 day average and short below the 200 day? The problem with the indexes is the lack of trades.

[@billcyprus1782]

Can you tell us where to set our stop loss? One ticket for trade..??

[@jamesgraham6362]

Hi Jarrod, how do you allocate your position size in this kind of strategy? If your stop loss is 200 points and using the standard 1-2% risk percent on each trade you would only gain a very small fraction of a percent on a winning trade and a loss would wipe out many of the previous gains. Are you comfortable risking a higher amount knowing the stop is not going to get hit >90% of the time? In my backtest, I get a CAGR of 0.83% risking 1% per trade.

[@ksaALWAFi]

how a CAGR of less than 1% is good ? this is ridiculously low !

[@highlanderthegreat]

instead of buying the underlying could you instead buy an at the money option , either a put or call.. you are using the 10 level to buy and exit at the 70, would you then use the 90 level to sell and the 30 level to exit the short....you could use monthly options for this since you wont be in the option that long and also you wont have to use a stop loss.. just asking , thanks

[@TheTransparentTrader]

Unfortunately I don't have a ranking system. It's hard to rank strategies as they are often designed to meet different trading objectives of mine. And I always trade multiple strategies which I try to make complement each other.

[@Kojo6853]

Does this strategy work on a 4hr time frame ?

[@BOOMOPERAMUSIC]

Bro I just ran this through history... and that dip below 10 on the Rsi is mostly just the beginning of a much longer down trend... Try buying when going above 70, and selling when going bellow 30 on the rsi set to 14 on 15min time frame for example and join the impulse. Its crazy how good it is.

[@TheTransparentTrader]

Different levels work differently on each timeframe. I'll check out your suggestion though!

[@BOOMOPERAMUSIC]

@@TheTransparentTrader seems to work on all timeframes.. when we touch the 30 on 4h for example we might get another leg down etc

[@BOOMOPERAMUSIC]

@@TheTransparentTrader price needs to be above the 200ema when we buy the over 70 rsi or below 200ema when selling the low 30 rsi for it to work better

how does it work with shorter time frames for intraday trading? Have you had the chance to test? 5 mins charts may be?

[@TheTransparentTrader]

Haven't tested it yet. Very much doubt i would work on a 5 minute chart as you won't be able to catch a large enough move.

[@Samuel_eldavis]

Another great video! Did the algo enter everytime when the Rsi went below 10, even if the 12day delay wasn’t over, or did it ignore new signals once it was in a trade during the 12 day time period?

[@TheTransparentTrader]

If it's already in the trade, it ignores new signals and stays in the original position. It doesn't double up.

No, there aren't any costs included. It's the way I develop strategies. This is why the Average Trade value is very important to be mindful of. This strategy has a high average trade value so even after costs it is still profitable.

Brilliant job, mate! Loving all of your videos-especially these on the Connors-Alvarez strategy. I just have one simple follow up question, if you don’t mind: What line of code would you add if you wanted the strategy to buy again (i.e., average down) every time the RSI dipped below 10?

Send me a quick email [e-mail] and I'll help you out with the code.

for everyone else interessted implementing it in tradinviewa pinescript: isBuy = ta.rsi(close,2) < 10 if(isBuy) strategy.entry("buy", strategy.long) then proceed to set the allowed trades amount in the config. it will do one trade per bar

[@travissessions7863]

This strategy risks dollars to make pennies, or basically fractions of a penny, where one stop out could wipe out 10-20 winners. And this is done on the SP500, an index that practically only ever goes up in the long term. If you're willing to hold through 200 points of downside, why not be willing to wait through 200 points of upside? Or 400? Basically buy and hold swing trading.

[@chuckharkes6569]

Hint...think options.

[@travissessions7863]

@@chuckharkes6569 Not sure what you're implying here. Options give you leverage, it doesn't change the risk profile of the trade unless you're hedging with spreads, but at that point you're not really following the strategy outlined in this video.
