Triple RSI strategy
Aug 20, 2022

The Triple RSI strategy indicator is a reversal-based trading tool that identifies high-probability entry points by monitoring the convergence of three distinct Relative Strength Index (RSI) periods. It aims to capture market turns when short, medium, and long-term momentum concurrently exit overbought or oversold territories.
Usage
The strategy is primarily used to identify mean reversion opportunities in Forex and Stock markets. A signal is generated when three RSI lines (lengths 7, 14, and 21) simultaneously cross their respective threshold levels.
- Buy Signal: Triggered when the RSI 7, RSI 14, and RSI 21 all cross above the 30 (oversold) level on the same bar.
- Sell Signal: Triggered when the RSI 7, RSI 14, and RSI 21 all cross below the 70 (overbought) level on the same bar.
While the strategy is versatile, it is highly optimized for the 1-hour (H1) timeframe. In Forex trading, users often look for 10 to 50 pip movements, while in equity markets, it is used to identify precise entry points for short-term swing trades. For improved results in volatile markets, it is recommended to filter signals using price action analysis on lower timeframes.
Details
The core logic relies on the alignment of momentum across different lookback periods. By requiring all three RSI lengths (7, 14, and 21) to confirm a reversal, the indicator filters out "noise" that might trigger a signal on a single RSI period.
- RSI 7: Captures rapid, short-term momentum shifts.
- RSI 14: Represents the standard market momentum.
- RSI 21: Provides a longer-term perspective on trend exhaustion.
The strategy executes trades on the bar close once all three conditions are met, ensuring that the momentum shift is confirmed across all selected lookback windows.
Settings
- RSI Lengths: The script utilizes three fixed RSI lengths: 7, 14, and 21.
- Overbought Level: Set at 70; all three RSI lines must cross below this value to trigger a sell.
- Oversold Level: Set at 30; all three RSI lines must cross above this value to trigger a buy.
