Hey Dale, hope you're well.

I think you missed my point a bit with regards to the use of the RSI oscillator. I don't use it to time my entry INTO the market. I use it as a way of knowing when to stay OUT of the market.

For example, if a new day starts and you have a new valid PSAR dot showing a new downtrend, but your fast RSI (5) is still below 20, I'd stay out and wait for the RSI to get back into the tradeable range.

Also, if you have a new dot appear showing a new downtrend, if your RSI 5 is way over 80, but your RSI 14 is nowhere near overbaught, then that 'new downtrend' is more likely just a short term market correction, not a trend at all.

Know what I mean? Not sure if I was very clear with that.
