Pro-Tip:

RSI Bot

Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum indicator used by technical analysts to measure the magnitude of recent price changes to identify overbought and oversold conditions.

  • Quadency’s Multi-Level RSI bot strategy enables traders to place buy orders when the price of an asset falls below pre-defined RSI levels, averaging down by buying more if the price drops further.
  • The bot will automatically sell when a profit target or stop loss is realized.
