Adjustments:
14 period, to 8.
70 and 30 lines, to 80 and 20.
This indicator comes standard on most trading platforms. You’ll just need to make the adjustments above.

Step 1 - Find the currency pair that is showing a high the last 50 candlesticks. (OR low depending on the trade)
The 80-20 Trading strategy can be used for any period. This is because there are reversals of trends in every period. This can be a swing trade, day trade, or a scalping trade. As long as it follows the rules, it is a valid trade. We also have training for building a foundation before a forex strategy matters. In this step, we only need to ensure it is the low or the high of the last 50 candles.

Step 2 - Using the RSI Trading Indicator:
When we find 50 candle high, it needs to be coupled with RSI reading 80 or higher. (If it’s low it needs to be combined with the RSI reading 20 or lower.). We have a reading that hit the 80 line on the RSI and was the high the last 50 candles.
Once we see that we had a high, the last 50 candles, and the RSI is ABOVE 80, we can move to the next step. Remember that this strategy is a reversal strategy. It is going to break the current trend and move the other direction.

Step 3 - Wait for a second price (high candle) to close after the first one that we already identified.
The second price high must be above the first high. Although, the RSI Trading indicator must provide a lower signal than the first. Remember that divergence can be seen by comparing price action and the movement of an indicator. If the price is making higher highs, the oscillator should also be making higher highs. If the price is making lower lows, the oscillator should also be making lower lows. If they are not, that means price and the oscillator are diverging from each other. Which is why it’s called “divergence.”
Just because you see a bullish or bearish divergence, doesn’t mean you should automatically jump in with a position. We have rules in place that will capitalize on this divergence so that we can make a significant profit. Keep in mind, that this step may take time to develop. It is very important to wait for this second high because it gets you in a better trade making position.
Price goes up/RSI goes down. That is the Divergence. Remember that our example is a current uptrend looking to break to the downside. If this was a 50 candle low, we would be looking at the exact opposite of this step.

Step 4 - How to Enter the Trade with the RSI Trading Strategy.
The way you enter a trade is very simple. You wait for the price to head in the direction of the trade and wait for a candle to close below the first candle that you identified that was previously 50 candle high.

Step 5 - Once you make your entry, place a stop loss.
To place your stop, bump back 1 to 3 time periods and find a reasonable, logical level to put your stop. You are looking for prior resistance or support.
We placed our stop below this support area. That way if the trend continued and did not break, it could hit this level and bounce back up in our direction.

Step 6 - I recommend you follow at least a 1 to 3 profit vs. risk level. This will ensure that you are maximizing your potential to get the most out of the strategy.
You can adjust as you wish. Keep in mind that most successful strategies that identify breaks of a trend use a 1 to 3 profit vs. risk level.
