How RSI Oversold AO DCA — Long Strategy works
Rules in this group usually work like this. When a buy goes the wrong way, it buys more, so the average price moves closer to the market. Most of the closed trades then look like small wins. The losses are rare and large, and they show up when price keeps falling. The next paragraph is this particular rule, which can be narrower than the group.
It only buys. It does not bet on falling prices. It acts only when several checks agree at once. It leans on RSI; those names are explained on their own pages, further down. The exact line is in the list below, in the author's names, and you can skip that list. It gets out when another set of checks agrees. That line is in the list below too.
Each trade uses a fixed 100 of the quote coin. It can stack up to 5 trades in the same direction.
The exact condition, from the code
Same rule, translated from the code, in the author's names. You can skip this list if the paragraph above was enough.

How the backtest was run
Every strategy was tried the same way, on the settings the author published.
The years are October 2021 to June 2026. The prices are from Bybit, for 13 widely traded coins, mostly on hourly, 4-hour and daily charts, with some faster charts. That was 47,242 tries. The window stored in the files is 2021-09..2026-06.
599 rules produced a finished try. A rule that finished above zero on at least 12 cells, before any fee, was tried again with a fee of 0.12 percent per side. Only buys are counted in that second try. 273 rules got it.
The method, the aggregate results and a downloadable table are on the study page. What the desk does with the results beyond these pages is its own.
Before any fee, it was tried on 12 cells, and it placed no trades.
It was not run a second time with a fee. That second pass happens only when at least 12 cells finished above zero before fees. 273 rules got that pass.
| Cells tried | 12 |
|---|---|
| Cells that placed a trade | 0 |
| Finished above zero | 0 |

How to read the result
How to read the number
No cell took a trade, so there is no return to read. The rule above is the whole note.
What this does not show
The useful question is the largest loss while the extra buys are still open. A high share of closed wins hides that loss.
There is no cell to single out, and this note does not invent one. Other years, another exchange, or another fee would be a different measurement.
