Futures Trading Hours RSI Strategy
Futures Trading Hours RSI Strategy
A lightweight, session-filtered RSI strategy designed for equity-index futures (e.g. NQ, ES, YM) on a 30-minute chart. It dynamically enters long when RSI crosses above your oversold threshold and short when RSI crosses below your overbought threshold—but only during regular U.S. trading hours (08:30–15:00 CT, Monday–Friday). All positions are set to close at 15:00 CT to avoid overnight risk, and optional background shading highlights your open longs (green) and shorts (red).

Key Features
• RSI-based entries: configurable length, oversold, and overbought levels
• Session filter: trades only between 08:30–15:00 CT, Monday through Friday
• Automatic exit: closes all positions at or after 15:00 CT each day
• Visual cues: optional background shading for open long/short positions
• Easy customization: adjust length, overSold, overBought, and time offsets
Backtest Performance (NQ Jun 2025, 30 min)
• Total P&L: +$10,230 (+1.02%)
• Profit Factor: 4.61
• Win Rate: 57.1% (4 wins / 7 trades)
• Max Drawdown: $2,215 (0.22%)
