Sonic R & RSI only BTCUSD D1 strategy

This trading strategy uses two main technical indicators: EMA (Exponential Moving Average) and RSI (Relative Strength Index). It takes a long position when the price exceeds the high of the 34-period EMA or when the RSI shows a significant reversal after being oversold. It exits the position when the price falls below the low of the 34-period EMA or when RSI becomes overbought.

To trade this strategy manually on TradingView:

• Apply a 34-period EMA to the high and a 34-period EMA to the low of the price chart.
• Apply a 14-period RSI to the chart.
• Enter a long trade when the current price is above the 34-period high EMA and the second last candle's close was also above this EMA (Condition 1), or when the lowest RSI value of the last 3 candles was below 29 and the current RSI is above both 30 and the RSI value 3 periods ago (Condition 2).
• Exit the long trade when the current price falls below the 34-period low EMA (Condition 1), or when the highest RSI reading in the last 5 candles was above 70 and the current RSI has dropped below 70 (Condition 2).

Improving the "Sonic R & RSI only BTCUSD D1 strategy" involves refining its entry and exit parameters, money management tactics, and trading psychology. A data-driven approach to identify the most profitable adjustments is crucial. Here's a plan to enhance this strategy with a manual trading system:

• Increased Precision for Entries: Study past trades to determine the optimal RSI thresholds that have led to successful entries. Adjust the RSI entry points based on this historical performance analysis, considering the market's volatility. A tighter EMA period could be tested for quicker response to market moves.
• Refined Exit Strategy: Implementing a trailing stop loss can capture greater profits during strong trends and minimize losses during reversals. An ATR (Average True Range) based stop could be more adaptive to market conditions.
• Volume Confirmation: Incorporate volume analysis to confirm entry signals. Look for higher than average volume on entry candlesticks as an affirmation of the market's commitment to the new direction.
• Divergence Detection: Add divergence detection between price and RSI before entering trades. Bullish or bearish divergences can provide a stronger rationale for entries and exits.
• Time of Day Adjustment: Study the performance of the strategy at different times of day and adjust trading times if necessary to avoid periods with bad performance.
• Additional Technical Indicators: Test adding supplementary indicators like MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) or Stochastic to corroborate RSI signals and filter out potential false positives.
• Backtesting: Backtest any adjustments above using historical data to ensure the modifications lead to improved results without fitting the model too tightly to the past data (overfitting).
• Money Management: Utilize a position sizing model that adapts to the changing equity curve, such as the Kelly Criterion, which balances the trade-off between risk and reward.
• Journaling and Review: Keep a detailed trading journal to log all trades, the rationale behind them, and their outcomes. Review this journal regularly to identify areas for improvement.

The above improvements should be implemented progressively, with each change thoroughly tested before moving on to the next. This incremental approach prevents overcomplicating the strategy and facilitates the identification of which adjustments genuinely add value.
