RSI Overheated

TL;DR

A critical safeguard: this guardrail halts Long entries if RSI exceeds 85, and Short entries if RSI drops below 15 — extreme territory indicating unsustainable momentum.

How It Works

  1. 1

    Extreme Readings: While RSI can stay overbought/oversold during strong trends, readings above 85 (Long) or below 15 (Short) represent extreme irrationality beyond the standard 70/30 bands.

  2. 2

    Contrary Execution: Buying when RSI is at 91 means buying when retail FOMO is at absolute peak. The algorithm prefers to enter on retracements, not at the tip of a spike.

  3. 3

    Action: Execution is paused. The POI remains active, but order firing is deferred until RSI returns to a normalized tradable band.

LiquidMind AI Context

This is a blunt-force trauma filter. It stops the system from buying at the absolute top of a parabolic blow-off candle, ensuring entries happen in pockets of liquidity, not spikes of emotion.
