Umesh,
Larry Connnors' recent book caled "Short Term Trading Strategies that Work" mentions the RSI(2) strategy.
Chapter 9 calls it the "The Trader's Holy Grail of Indicators?"
On of his ideas is:
Above 200 day MA, RSI below a level.
Buy at the close, exit when above a short term moving average.
He does most of his testing and comparatives against the SPY. His results are positive (of course they would be, why would you get a book deal off bad results>?).
He also uses a Cumulative RSI(2) strategy.
Its not a bad book for reading. It gives some pretty good exit strategies that are actually easy to code into Metastock, especially if you are newer to the programming language. You learn a lot by trying to take the simple terms Mr. Connors has and put them into Metastock, irregardless if the strategies actually work for you.
I think it set me back about $50.
Good luck.
Big

After an oversold reading on the William¡¦s R, look for a daily candle to show some type of reversal pattern before entering. The reversal candle could take a couple of days to appear. Enter the position at the close of the reversal day.

> ?X In down trends, look for price action to rise towards the 20 day MA as a guide for an exit.
> ?X The stop loss needs to be placed below the low of the previous day (The low of the oversold reading of the William¡¦s R) or the low of the reversal day, whichever is lower. If the stop is hit the trade must be exited. Being that the entries are so precise, it is important that the trade is exited on a stop because more than likely the trade can be re-entered at a better price and make the same profit projected.

Once the latch is set the first If() function bypasses all entry signals and passes control to the second If() function. This second If() function acts on either of two exit conditions being met {more conditions are possible}. An independent exit signal will reset the latch by forcing the output of the latch to switch from +PREV to -PREV, and/or a CLOSE below 95% of the entry price (PREV) will also force an output of -PREV. You can add other exit conditions ad-nauseum, but remember that each PREV will slow down the code even more.
