7 Days of Trading Challenge: RSI and Risk Management Challenge

Welcome to our 7-Day Trading Challenge on the RSI indicator! This week, we'll be focusing on the use of the RSI (Relative Strength Index) indicator and how to integrate it effectively into a trading strategy while managing risk optimally. The RSI is an essential tool for spotting overbought and oversold conditions, but it can also be coupled with risk management strategies to enhance your performance.

7 Days of Trading Challenge: RSI and Risk Management Challenge

Monday: Launch of the Challenge

Today's mission: Understanding the RSI (Relative Strength Index)
Today, we're going to familiarize ourselves with the RSI, a popular indicator developed by J. Welles Wilder in the 1970s. The RSI measures the speed and evolution of price movements to assess overbought and oversold conditions. It's an excellent tool for spotting possible turning points.

Tasks to be performed :

  • Playback and Video :
    • Read a full article on RSI, its formula, and how to use it to identify overbought (>70) and oversold (<30) conditions.
    • Listen to our podcast explaining strategies for using the RSI in trading.

Recommended resources :

  • Article : "The RSI Guide and how to use it effectively".

  • Podcast: "RSI strategy for traders

  • Configuring your chart :

    • Add the RSI indicator to your trading platform (MT4, TradingView, etc.), with the classic parameters (period 14).
    • Explore different time periods (H1, H4, D1) to see how the RSI reacts over different horizons.
  • Observation:

    • Choose two assets (for example, EUR/USD and Bitcoin) and observe periods when the RSI exceeds the 70 (overbought) and 30 (oversold) levels. Take note of situations that appear to give rise to trend reversals.

Tuesday to Thursday: Analysis and Strategy

Three-day mission: Develop and test your ROI strategy with risk management

Tuesday: Identifying RSI signals

Today, we're going to identify the trading signals generated by the RSI, particularly during trend reversals after overbought or oversold conditions.

Tasks to be performed :

  • Look for buy signals when the RSI is below 30 (oversold) and begins to rise above this level.
  • Look for sell signals when the RSI is above 70 (overbought) and begins to fall back below this level.

Wednesday: Using RSI as part of a combined strategy

Today, you'll combine the RSI with other technical criteria to refine your trading decisions.

Tasks to be performed :

  • Integrate another technical analysis method (such as trend lines, moving averages, or support and resistance levels) to confirm RSI signals.
  • Identify two trading opportunities (one bullish, one bearish) using this combination of criteria.

Thursday: Backtesting and adjusting your strategy

Today, we're going to carry out a backtesting exercise to test your strategy in real-life conditions.

Tasks to be performed :

  • Test your RSI trading strategy using historical data.
  • Test the strategy's performance by adding strict risk management: for example, using a favorable risk/return ratio (1:2) or applying stop-loss and take-profit.
  • Adjust your strategy according to the results obtained.

Friday: Practice

Today's mission: Execute your trades based on RSI and risk management
Today, you'll be putting your RSI trading strategy into practice and applying risk management.

Tasks to be performed :

  • Place real trades or demo trades using the RSI signals you've identified.

  • Apply strict risk management: set stop-loss and take-profit limits based on key market levels and the risk/return ratio.

  • Write down your trades: reasons for entry, stop-loss level, take-profit, and results.

  • Trading Journal :

    • Keep a detailed diary where you note the logic behind each trade, the stop-loss and take-profit levels, and the results of each position.

Saturday: Review and Adjustments

Today's mission: Analyze results and adjust your strategy
Today, we're going to analyze your trades and adjust your strategy according to the results.

Tasks to be performed :

  • Review Friday's trades and identify what worked well.
  • Analyze losing trades and try to understand the possible reasons for these losses.
  • Adjust your strategy for the future, for example by improving risk management or adjusting your entry and exit points.

Sunday: Taking stock and sharing

Today's mission: Take stock and share your results
It's the last day of the challenge! Time to sum up and share your results with the community.

Tasks to be performed :

  • Summary :

    • Write up a summary of your week: What objectives did you achieve? What lessons did you learn about using ROI and managing risk?
    • Think about what you can improve in your next trading sessions.
  • Share :

    • Encourage other participants to share their experiences to build community and learn together.

Conclusion
