Getting Started

This page is the install + configuration walkthrough for mrD-RSI Pullback. After the install steps, four preset tables cover the canonical trading styles (day-trader, swing, position, scalper), four asset-class blocks tune the presets for crypto / forex / stocks / gold, and a hands-on "first 3 trade steps" section gets you trading the same day.

If you have just landed on this page from the overview, the path is: read the install steps below, pick the preset matching your style, apply it once, then read Pullback Signals to understand the core entry engine.

The indicator's setting panel as it looks immediately after install. The preset tables below this section tell you which values to pick per trading style.

1. Install the indicator

Three steps. Takes under a minute.

Step 1 — Add to chart

• Open TradingView → Indicators (shortcut /).
• Search: mrD-RSI Pullback → click to add to chart.

For access flow on invite-only studies see Link your account & add the studies.

Step 2 — Open Settings

Click the gear icon next to the indicator name on the chart panel. The input panel opens to the right.

Step 3 — Apply the preset matching your style

See the four preset tables below — pick the one that matches how you trade. Apply once, then leave the settings alone for at least a week to get used to how the study behaves.

2. Recommended settings per trading style

Four canonical configurations. Pick exactly one — do not mix-and-match values across presets, the modules are tuned to work together within each profile.

A) Day-trader — 5m to 15m timeframe, ~5–20 trades per day

B) Swing trader — 1H to 4H timeframe, ~5–15 trades per week

C) Position trader / long-term DCA — Daily / Weekly

D) Ultra-short scalper — 1m to 5m

Scalping is the hardest profile — only enter when three factors align: signal + cloud + bar confirmation. If any one is missing, skip.

3. Settings per asset class

The presets above are timeframe-driven. The notes below add asset-class-specific tuning on top of the preset.

Crypto — BTC / ETH / altcoin spot and futures

• Recommended TF: 15m, 1H, 4H for swing.
• Settings: use the Swing trader (1H–4H) preset mostly.
• Note: crypto has very strong wick spikes → prefer Advanced Signals (multi-TF) over standalone Pullback.
• Flexible TP: use S/R Volume Zones as profit-taking zones.

Forex — major pairs (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY)

• Recommended TF: 15m–1H intraday, 4H–D swing.
• Settings: enable Hidden-Divergence Detect = On — Forex tends to continue trends cleanly after pullbacks.
• Note: avoid trading during major news (NFP, FOMC) — the indicator does not handle fundamental shocks.

Stocks / indices — SPX, NDX, large caps

• Recommended TF: 1H–D.
• Settings: Swing trader preset.
• Note: indicator works best with highly liquid stocks (> 500K avg daily volume). Penny stocks may produce noise.

Gold / commodities — XAU, OIL

• Recommended TF: 15m–4H.
• Settings: Swing trader preset, enable S/R Volume Zones.
• Note: gold is very trendy — Pullback signals are extremely effective when the cloud is clearly green / red.

4. Your first 3 trade steps — hands-on

After setup, try this workflow on a chart you know well. It is the same workflow professional traders run a thousand times a year — only the asset and the size differ.

Step 1 — Observe the RSI Band cloud direction (15 seconds)

• Cloud is green → bias is LONG → only look for BUY signals.
• Cloud is red → bias is SHORT → only look for SELL signals.
• Cloud is flipping colour constantly → market is sideways → do not trade.

Step 2 — Wait for a Pullback Signal to fire (be patient)

• A ▲ BUY appears BELOW the bar → long entry signal after the pullback completes.
• A ▼ SELL appears ABOVE the bar → short entry signal after the pullback completes.
• Never trade against the cloud — skip SELL when cloud is green, skip BUY when cloud is red.

Step 3 — Place SL / TP and manage

• SL — below the most recent swing low (long) or above the most recent swing high (short). If an S/R Volume Zone exists nearby, place SL just outside that zone.
• TP1 — R:R 1:1 → close 30–50% of position.
• TP2 — R:R 1:2 or at the opposite S/R zone → close the rest.
• Trailing — after TP1, move SL to break-even.

Never enter full size at once. Split 50/50 to give yourself room to course-correct.

5. 30-second pre-entry checklist

Run this every time. If two or more items are missing, do not enter.

• RSI Band cloud matches the signal direction.
• Info Table does NOT show "Go to {TF}" warning (you are on the right TF for trading).
• Volume Ratio ≥ 0.8× (sufficient liquidity, not a thin print).
• No major news within the next 30 minutes.
• Estimated R:R ≥ 1:1.5.
• Total risk of this trade ≤ 1–2% of account.

The indicator filters for you; the final call is yours.

Final tip

Paper-trade at least 50 trades before going live. The indicator is just a tool — your context-reading skill is what generates profit. The 50-trade paper benchmark is what separates traders who keep their capital from traders who do not.
