it uses a close over the 9 SMA for exit. Price above the 160 MA
for longs. Mine has some filters as well that will not take certain
trades - which is why it has a profit factor of around 8 vs 2 or 3
for a standard RSI 2.
Also exiting when the RSI 2 gets overbought can make more money
than exiting over the 9 SMA - it includes a lot more risk -there's
a few trades in the past where if you did that you got caught in an
extended downtrend for months because the RSI 2 was never able to
get get overbought to trigger the exit - whereas price closed above
the 9 SMA a couple times.
I just treat the RSI 2 as a reversion to mean so I've found
using the short term MA for exit over the RSI exit involved much
less risk in the past
RSI 2 as you said
