SPY-RSI introduction

2026-11-07

A separate bucket, apart from the DCA core (TSM, AMZN, BRK/B, Vanguard Target 2045). The core compounds and is never timed. This bucket tests one rule: buy SPY when it is oversold, sell when it recovers.

Rules

  • Time frames: daily, 4h, 1h, each tracked separately.
  • Entry: RSI(14) < 30.
  • Exit: RSI(14) > 50.
  • Size: start with 10 shares; add only as profits grow.
  • No leverage.
  • No post, no trade: every entry and exit is posted here in real time.

Log format

SPY entry — 10 sh @ ___
RSI(14): __ · time frame: daily / 4h / 1h

Exit post: price, RSI, profit or loss, whether the rules were followed.

What it tests

Whether a simple oversold signal beats just holding the index, which time frame works best, and whether I follow my own rules. The log will answer all three.
