## Rules
2024-09-09 14:54:49 +00:00
The original long-only rules from the book:
2024-09-09 13:58:14 +00:00
1. The asset (e.g., SPY) is above its 200-day moving average.
2. The 2-period RSI closes below 5.
3. Enter a long position at the close (or the following open in this case).
4. Exit the position when the asset closes above its 5-period moving average.
2024-09-09 14:54:49 +00:00
For taking short positions, invert the above conditions and use a 2-period RSI reading of > 95 as the entry threshold.
