4 · Risk
Buys strength after a move has started; sharp reversals hit before RSI reaches 40.
Test assumptions: long only, one position per stock, next-open fills, 0.2% round-trip cost, split-adjusted prices without dividends, current Nifty 50 members (survivorship bias). Past results do not predict future returns.
5 · Test it on any stock
Open the AI Backtester with these rules pre-filled, pick a stock and a date range, and add your own stop-loss or target.
Buy when RSI(14) crosses above 60 and close is above the 50-day EMA. Sell when RSI(14) falls below 40.
