This strategy is an enhanced version of the RSI indicator developed by John Ehlers. Its main advantage is smoothing the RSI curve while minimizing lag.
Calculate price average xValue using 6 bars.
Calculate upward sum CU23 and downward sum CD23 based on xValue.
Compute normalized RES value nRes as CU23/(CU23 + CD23).
Generate long/short signals by comparing nRes to thresholds.
Option to reverse signals.
Enter long/short based on signals.
The strategy effectively smoothes the RSI curve by enhancing its calculation, reducing false signals to some degree. Further filtering and parameter optimization can improve performance. But some lag persists as a momentum system. Overall, a simple and reliable breakout system worth further research and optimization.
