RSI Swing Strategy that really works in the market | By @HOLDwithPriyank
One-time — gone on refresh. Copy it and paste as a YouTube comment.
Why 2.0/5? (stars grade the EDGE — per-trade expectancy, consistency, drawdown — not the headline return)
- ✕ Roughly ZERO per-trade edge (+0.02R) — real costs eat whatever is there
- ✕ Max drawdown -40% on the ₹2L portfolio — the compounded return came with deep pain along the way
Verdict
Auto-backtested. AI-decoded: RSI-based divergence swing trading: wait for RSI oversold (<30) or overbought (>70), identify bearish/bullish divergence, confirm with structure break, then enter on retest with 1:1+ risk-reward targe Ran on 159 large/mid-caps, real costs. 3,280 trades, win 50%, payoff 1.02, expectancy +0.02R/trade (avg -0.06%/trade).
This is essentially breakeven. The payoff ratio is thin. Reasonably consistent (78% of years positive).
Mechanically decoded from the transcript and scored from the metrics. Flagged for human review; a hand-vetted verdict can override it.
