Good Strategy... Sounds like you use another program other than MS Pro... What do you use?

Basically the RSI does not always move in a directly proportional manner. Page 22 of his book explains this. There is only one neutral point which is 50.

If in a bull market 66.67 should be touched at least once and in a down bear trend 33.33 should be touched at least once. This is the reason why the default setting of 14 days is statistically relevant by the creator Wilder. Too sum it up in a bull market once the 66.67 level has been touched by the RSI it is statically a bull market until the 33.33 level is touched to signal a bear market... See if this analysis is correct?
