How does the APIBridge Advanced RSI + EMA strategy work ?
The APIBridge Advanced RSI + EMA strategy is designed for options trading using the underlying data from cash or futures. It leverages the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to gauge market momentum and utilizes Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) for trend confirmation. An entry for a long position is signaled when the RSI crosses above the oversold threshold of 20, and simultaneously, a fast EMA crosses over a slow EMA, indicating bullish momentum. Conversely, a short entry occurs when the RSI crosses below the overbought threshold of 80 and the fast EMA crosses under the slow EMA, suggesting bearish momentum.
The strategy involves specific parameters to be set on TradingView, such as the start/end date for trades, RSI length, EMA lengths, the source for calculations, and levels indicating overbought and oversold conditions. Only one of EMA or RSI can be plotted due to scale differences. The trade quantity, stop loss, and target are defined in points, and the strategy factors in the base symbol, strike distance from at-the-money (ATM) options, expiry, and the instrument type; either index options (OPTIDX) or stock options (OPTSTK). Note that backtesting this strategy in TradingView may not yield accurate results due to the absence of options data, making real-time execution through APIBridge essential.
