[ATS-Base] RCI Training Room
“RCI” is a popular indicator used by many traders to gauge market reversals and trend changes.
By applying a bit of ingenuity with this “RCI,” you can trade in a way that is more “efficient” for the current market and also more enjoyable.
In the coming sessions, we will introduce trading methods based on RCI! Even those who have been using RCI may witness surprising results!!
However, the market does not always move in the same way; it can experience rapid yen appreciation or depreciation, abrupt market shifts, or ranging markets, so you must adapt to various conditions. Therefore, no particular method is guaranteed to work long-term.
Have you ever had a method that worked well before suddenly stop working, or pricey indicators become unusable overnight?
Thus, trading with a system and settings that fit the current market is crucial to achieve efficient and effective results.
In [ATS-Base] RCI Training Room, we provide a method to maximize RCI using the free tool “ATS13-navi.”
1. Why use “ATS”?
“ATS” stands for “Adapt To New Trend System” and is a system designed to continually adapt to new trends.
Before practicing an RCI-based trading method, it is very important to verify which criteria should be followed for optimal trading. ATS is the system that performs this verification quickly and accurately.
Manual verification can be time-consuming; with ATS, you can obtain accurate answers in seconds. For example, by changing RCI’s settings, you can instantly confirm whether the trading method works and whether the currency pair and time frame suit the current market.
2. Handling spreads
One aspect often overlooked in trading is the spread.
Even if you construct a good trading strategy using RCI, profits can be eroded by spreads.
For instance, with a spread of 0.01 (1 pip), performing 100 trades will amount to 1 yen (100 pips). Underestimating the spread can create a large gap between calculated profits and actual account balance.
In “ATS,” we also factor in spreads during verification to provide more accurate trading results.
3. Period for verification
To verify a trading method, you need a certain number of trades and a period. Data from a short period alone cannot adequately evaluate the method’s reliability.
However, long-term verification takes time, so it’s important to obtain efficient verification results. In “ATS,” you can compare settings over a fixed period and find the most advantageous conditions.
4. Eliminating favorable biases
It’s important to feel confident that “this method will work!” or “this tool earns money!” but these judgments must always be made calmly.
In “ATS,” RCI results are clearly quantified to prevent overestimation and support solid, prudent trading.
From next time, we will begin testing using the “ATS RCI nav i”! RCI is a useful indicator for counter-trend or trend-change analysis, but we will verify which currency pairs and time frames it is best suited for and whether it matches the current market.
Under the theme “Win with RCI,” we will explain methods to effectively use RCI to win. We are currently distributing a free testing version of “ATS-13 RCI nav i,” so please try it!
