How to Actually Trade with RSI: The real Way (Including MACD and Stochastic)

The RSI indicator……………… how many videos are there on the internet covering this?
Yet It took me forever to implement this profitably.

You see most people teach that the RSI indicator is meant to give you Overbought and Oversold signals.

Therefore logic would imply, that when the indicator is oversold, below the 30 area that is, we would be looking to take an up trade in the near future.

And inversely when the indicator is overbought, over the 70 area, well that would be when we should look for a down move?

Correct?

Heck no, that hardly ever works. That is a very good way to start throwing your money away. I know this because I’ve done it.

What the RSI indicator actually is, is a trend indicator.

You see if the RSI is below the 50 level, that is indicative of a down trend.
Take a look at this… obviously the price on this symbol is going down. Note where the RSI level is, its below 50…….
That is until the trend changes here and now the RSI is above 50….. who knew right?

So, when the RSI is above 50, we would then have an uptrend.

Here you go, you can see here on this chart exactly what I’m talking about.
Notice how we have an uptrend, pay attention to how the RSI is above 50 this entire time

Now I’m not going to spend a ton of time on this, because it is very very simple. Just Look at your own charts and you will see this over and over again.

By now you have probably noticed that My RSI indicator looks different than yours…. I only have one line on mine at the 50 level.

This is exactly why you’ve never learned to trade this correctly. The default indicator comes with a line at the 70 level and a line at the 30 level….. there is no line at the 50 area on a standard RSI.

So what I would say to you is that you should draw one on yours!

And this is exactly the reason why so many people cant trade this correctly… the lines throw you off as to what Is actually important and you end up focusing on the 30 And 70 levels.

Now we cant trade the RSI by itself (well actually you can do whatever you want, but you’ll lose money), because it is only serving to show us the trend…. And it will only ever show us the trend on the current time frame that we are using. I use multiple timeframes but that’s beyond the scope of this video.

But if we add something like, say a Stochastic Slow indicator… now we can more accurately pinpoint overbought and oversold areas, while also being able to determine the current trend.

Lets take a look at this Chart of Amazon on the 60 minute timeframe from March of this past year 2020.

You see right here our stochastic indicator is showing an overbought area

At the very same time, the RSI indicator is above 50, this would imply a strengthening up trend and therefore we would not be interested in taking the trade down at this point

Alright, but wait a minute, right here at the close of this candle the RSI now has a value that is less than 50

So lets put this together mentally….. visibly the price looks to be going down

Add to that the fact that the Stochastic slow was most recently overbought, meaning that the next likely direction would be down.

Now we have our RSI (remember this is our “Trend Indicator now”) showing that the trend has now turned downward…..

Obviously at this point the Stochastic is not yet oversold, and the RSI isn’t either…

Now lets add the MACD to the exact trade just to add one more level of certainty.

Lets set the MACD to (8, 21, and 5) why? Because the standard MACD settings suck, use 8 21 5, trust me.

Here is the exact same trade setup…. Now you can see that the macd Is crossing down at the same time that we determined that we could enter the trade.

Ladies and gentlemen this is how you use multiple indicators at one time… and this will make your entries far more accurate.

Let do another trade example and this time, we will look at an up trade.
Here we are on Amazon on the 60 minute timeframe again, and this trade was right around the 1st of January 2020

The first thing that we can notice is that the RSI has been consistently above 50
That means that Amazon has been trending up for a while.
Now lets add the stochastic slow

It is pretty easy to see that the stochastic slow is over sold right around 12/31
This is an up trade all day folks

And where would we exit????

Well a good spot…. Hahah… I’m laughing at how simple this is… would be when the Stochastic is overbought and the RSI is also overbought… meaning above 70

So right about here… you cash out and take your money.

That is a one day 50 point move on Amazon…. Which if traded properly with options would be well over a 100% return.
Ok I know this video wasn’t very long, but I don’t feel the need to draw this out… none of this is super complicated so please don’t make it that way.
I hope this was helpful and I hope it earned me a push of the Subscribe and like buttons if you havn’t already done so.

Thank you for watching

We all know how rewarding trading can be. Meanwhile getting a good ROI is very much attainable if you know your way around it. You did a nice job pal.

[clemhorn]

Dude, you know what I love about this.I get the sense that you were overdelivering on value and truth from personal experience and you didn't ask me to subscribe to your channel before you gave me a reason to. And now, I've subscribed because I love the value you're delivering. Thanks

[beencouraged]

Why is the truth so hard to find, and the misconceptions are so readily available, the trouble this has saved me, keep doing what you doing, much love from Jamaica 🌴🌊🏖️🇯🇲

Commenting a second time to say thank you again. Starting from scratch with no trading experience 4 months ago, I just now doubled my initial investment on Forex. The Stochastic and MACD were what was missing from my strategy. I planned on using forex as a supplement to my main income but, this strategy works so well the possibilities are endless. I will be able to help my family and donate scholarships to my community. God bless you sir.

7:27 "I'm laughing at how simple this is." I laughed when I realized it actually works and this was a hidden Jem that will help all who watched this video and realized this as I did.

[kevin.argueta]

I found this strategy 4 days ago. I have had 4 green days in a row ever since. This is the best strat I have ever used idk how i didnt know about this. But if you’re day trading, i recommend you use this on 5 min chart. And if you’re scalping, 1 min chart ofc. And i use volume as extra confirmation as well. But very very effective strat.

I was always in dilemma trading with RSI, but this video really clears everything up for me. The new setting on MACD is way more accurate than the original. Thanks man, I really appreciate it.

[bessiejohns]

Been trading almost 3 years and this is the best training video I have seen! Yes, I have been making this too complicated! Thank you!!

[kropek]

for how many months i struggle and understanding different indicators, your the best man. im watching this video for over 10x.. thanks man

[SwornInvictus]

Very interesting. As an RSI position trader, I've began incorporating MACD crossovers/divergence for additional confirmations and obviously key support/resistance levels.

It really does work if you play it right and manage risk properly. Seems like you followed the same rabbit hole I'm going down now.

Good video bro.

There are so many investment out there but if profits must be considered this year, then stock trading has a higher profit rate. Now is a good time for traders to grow their portfolio with little investment.

@Prophet Market - Man....Where were you this long?? Today only I came across this video. I'm into trading for the last 6+ months and watching videos on youtube since then almost every day for 2-3 hours learning different strategies. Trust me, this one STANDS OUT from many crap videos out there. Subscribed!

[tristansanchezm.]

. THIS MAY BE THE BEST TRADING VIDEO EVER .
I have been testing and backtesting this in Forex and it works just Great.
Using only RSI & MACD (when BOTH of them show the same signal)
and checking it in 2 or 3 consecutive Timeframes is all you need to get it OK.
Thank You very much for your Amazing teaching.
Greetings from Mexico ... Amigo !

5:45 "use 8, 21 and 5, trust me", care to explain why those exact numbers, would be great to know the reason behind it. Thanks for the video

[charlesgodwin]

this is quite possibly the most underrated instructional video on the net. I got into 4 trades yesterday (1 call and 3 put options) all successful to my standards. Thank you.
📈📈📈

[laptrafficracing]

This is definitely one of the best videos I’ve seen. I’ve been struggling to find good info on RSI other than sell at 79 buy at 30 🤦‍♂️ Thank you for this.

[luridape]

This video was perfect for me; calming music, simple ideas and terms with repetition, gentle speaking, no ego padding.
I have rejected so many trading videos because the host is either faking excitement like a surf-dude, or yelling aggressively at me about how much money he makes before breakfast.
Liked, subbed.

[richardcaton]

I watch a popular video by a guy who is always using the MACD. Since I swing trade I see that this is an invaluable tool that I must set up in my Sink or Swim platform. I had to rerun parts of your video several times to see just how you were setting it up.
I am so glad I came across your video. It will make me much better trader and I am definitely subscribed. Thank You

[Mrgambit]

This has got to be one of the few hidden gems in youtube. keep it up my friend and more power !!!

[uniquehomedecors]

I'd just like to say you have just changed my life!
