Market Breadth Filtered 8 day RSI: Rules: 1) Calculate the 10 day simple moving average of the number of advancing issues on the NYSE. Now I will give you two ways to do this including the "Market Wizard" method. We can exit before RSI crosses below the sell line when danger approaches. Furthermore, if the conditions that led us to enter the market deteriorate, then we build in a mechanism for exiting the trade. What we will do is tell the system that it may only enter into the stock index futures contracts when conditions for an advance are most favorable. Filtered 8 day RSI system: The process of transforming the 8 day RSI system from lemon into a gem involves filtering with internal and intermarket models. If the oscillator goes down after your buy and does rally enough to make the oscillator go above the sell line, you may lose a tremendous sum. Nothing in the oscillator system will provide you with an exit from your trade except a turndown from the overbought area by the oscillator. Buying when an oscillator such as stochastics or RSI turns up from oversold can bankrupt you during a landslide decline. Why the basic 8 day RSI system fails: By themselves, oscillator systems are extremely dangerous if used in the traditional way. 70 and intraday drawdown nearly half as large as the net profit. Then you will divide this figure by the average close to close changes of the last 8 down days.ĭealing with a poor system is a W/L ratio worse than the. For 8 day RSI you will be averaging the close to close changes of the last 8 up days. First things first: Basic Method of calculating the RSI index: The formula for RSI: RSI =100-(100/1+RS) Where RS= Average of x day's up close to close changes/average of x day's down close to close changes. In fact, one S&P trader, profiled in Schwager's "Market Wizards" uses a version of the filter I am giving you to assist in his highly profitable trading operations. This use of intermarket data can be very useful in your timing operations if used judiciously. Market Wizard Filter This chapter will detail a sophisticated method using interest rate and market breadth models to filter a simple S&P oscillator system.
