How does the RSI-VWAP INDICATOR strategy work ?
The RSI-VWAP Indicator combines the Relative Strength Index (RSI) with the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP). It modifies the traditional RSI by using VWAP as the price input to offer a different perspective on the current price strength relative to volume. VWAP gives a fair reflection of the market condition throughout the trading day, incorporating both price and volume.
- The RSI-VWAP length input determines the period over which the VWAP is calculated.
- Thresholds for overbought and oversold conditions are set, indicating potential reversal points.
- A buy signal is triggered when the RSI-VWAP crosses over the oversold threshold, suggesting the start of an upward trend.
- A sell signal or position close is prompted when the RSI-VWAP crosses under the overbought threshold, suggesting a potential downward move.
- The strategy visually plots these buy and sell signals for easy identification, and uses color coding—red for overbought and lime for oversold conditions.
- In the backtest setting, multiple trade entries (pyramiding) improve the average entry price, affecting the strategy's performance.
The RSI-VWAP Indicator allows traders to observe trend strength through the lens of volume, aiming for a more informed entry and exit decisions in the market.
