Overview

The Dual RSI Mean Reversion Strategy is a trend following strategy that identifies overbought and oversold conditions using two RSI indicators on different timeframes. It aims to capitalize on mean reversion by going long after oversold conditions and going short after overbought conditions. The strategy uses Heikin-Ashi candles, RSI indicators and an open color filter to identify trading opportunities.

Strategy Logic

The strategy uses two RSI indicators with different periods - one on the 5 minute chart and one on the 1 hour chart. For the RSI indicators, oversold levels are identified below 30 and overbought levels above 70.

It tracks RSI values and looks for situations where the RSI has been below 30 or above 70 for a defined number of bars, indicating extended oversold or overbought conditions.

In addition, it uses Heikin-Ashi candles and checks for a defined number of green or red candles to confirm the trend direction before entering trades. An open color filter helps avoid false signals.

When both RSI and Heikin-Ashi conditions align, the strategy will go long after oversold conditions or go short after overbought conditions, betting on a reversion to the mean.

Positions are closed out at the end of each day to avoid holding trades overnight.

Advantages

Uses a multi-timeframe approach to identify overbought/oversold conditions
Heikin-Ashi candles filter out noise and identify trend direction
Open color filter avoids false signals
Clear entry/exit rules based on two indicators aligning
Risk management by closing positions before end of each day

Risks

Whipsaws possible if strong trend persists after RSI overbought/oversold signal
Market gaps can trigger stops
Heikin-Ashi lag can delay trade entries and cause missed moves
Closing positions at day end gives up potential gains of overnight holds

Enhancements

Add additional filters like volume or volatility to confirm signals
Optimize RSI periods and overbought/oversold levels for instrument
Consider dynamic position sizing based on volatility
Experiment with profit targets or trailing stops instead of end-of-day exits
Test effectiveness on different instruments and adjust parameters

Conclusion

The Dual RSI Mean Reversion strategy takes a rules-based approach to trading momentum. By combining two timeframes, overbought/oversold indicators, candlestick analysis and an entry filter, it aims to identify high probability mean reversion setups. Strict risk management and prudent position sizing help balance profits with managing drawdowns. Further optimization and robustness testing would help deploy it successfully across various markets.
