D-BoT Alpha 'Short' SMA and RSI Strategy

Script from: TradingViewIntradayMomentumTrend following

The D-BoT Alpha 'Short' SMA and RSI Strategy involves initiating a short position when the RSI crosses over 51 and the closing price is below the 200-period SMA. This strategy signals an exit when the closing price exceeds the trailing stop, the RSI moves beyond 54, or drops below the take-profit level of 32. Strengths include its dual indicator use and incorporation of a trailing stop to manage risks. Drawbacks are its simplicity and lack of consideration for trading costs and broader market factors.
