RSI Trading Practical Guide

This indicator is often used by paid course sellers to attract money, but the problem is that most people don't really understand how to use it.

The actual use of RSI (Relative Strength Index) in real trading isn't that complicated. The key is to understand its behavior in different market stages—high-level oscillations in a bull market, low-level rebounds in a bear market, all of which can be observed.

Traders who make real money don't rely on RSI as a single signal but combine it with candlestick patterns and support/resistance levels to confirm entry and exit points. Overbought and oversold zones (70/30) are indeed useful, but divergence signals often better predict reversals.

Instead of buying those flashy courses, it's better to practice on small trades and see how RSI actually performs in your trading pairs. Different coins and timeframes vary greatly; copying templates blindly will only lead to losses.

It's RSI again... I've heard too many people rely on this to cut leeks. Honestly, divergence signals are indeed very useful, but the 70/30 approach has long been outdated. Practicing with small trades is fine, but I'm afraid 99% of people simply can't stick with it. My coin's RSI is completely different from the template; every time I copy it blindly, I get proven wrong. Instead of obsessing over indicators, it's better to first understand your own risk tolerance.

That’s a harsh way to put it, but I like it --- The RSI thing, when you break it down, is just that—most courses are just schemes to scalp retail investors --- Divergence signals are indeed powerful, much more reliable than simply watching 70/30. Have you tried it? --- My blood, sweat, and tears lessons—just copying others’ templates only leads to losses --- Practicing with small units repeatedly is the real way to go, save on course fees --- That’s why I don’t believe in paid courses; exploring on your own is more practical --- The key is to combine with candlestick patterns; looking at RSI alone is like doing horse stance --- Different coins do vary greatly; BTC and altcoins are completely different worlds

Bro, what you're saying is true. I was cut by those courses before and am still paying off the debt. --- On divergence signals, you're right. The 70/30 is actually just nonsense signals. --- I just want to know how to avoid losing money on small trades. Is it easy? --- Everyone who copies templates has ended up in the liquidation room, including me. --- The RSI thing varies a lot between different coins; BTC and Shib are completely different. --- After two months, I finally understand that you can't just look at indicators; you need to combine them with patterns. --- The paid courses are really just about bluffing to make a living. --- The question is, who has the patience to truly test on different timeframes? --- Divergence is their ultimate trick to cut the leeks.

It's the same old thing, only after being cut a few rounds do you realize. --- Divergence signals are indeed effective, but most people simply can't see them. --- Last year, I spent 2,000 on a course and ended up learning this. Thinking back, it's quite speechless. --- You still have to practice yourself; there's no other way. --- Small orders need to be tested repeatedly to understand their temperament; copying others will only lead to losses. --- The 70/30 approach has been played out long ago, and instructors still teaching this course are not very good. --- The key is to use it in conjunction with candlestick patterns; just looking at RSI is just guessing blindly. --- Different cryptocurrencies and timeframes vary; this is the point most people overlook.

The divergence signal is correct; in the overbought and oversold zones, actually 99% of people are using it the wrong way. Copying blindly will only lead to failure, really, I've seen too many cases. Small-scale practice is the only way; there are no shortcuts. RSI must be combined with candlestick charts; looking at it alone is just a decoration. I really dislike those course sellers. The differences between various cryptocurrencies are indeed significant; BTC and altcoins follow completely different logic. Finally, someone dares to tell the truth.

Is RSI just the old cliché again? Is it really more reliable than divergence signals? I’ve been testing it for half a year and still lost...
