212# Half Trend with RSI -TradingView-

Maximo Trader 2025

Half Trend with RSI is a trend momentum trading strategy. The goal is to capture intraday price swings by combining Half Trend signals with Heikin Ashi candles and RSI as confirmation. The approach is simple but effective, designed for short-term momentum trades.

The entry rules

For a long setup, wait until the Half Trend indicator gives a buy signal. Heikin Ashi candles should turn green and remain above the Half Trend line, while the RSI should cross upward or hold above the 50 level to confirm bullish momentum. Once these conditions are met, the entry is taken at the close of the confirmation candle.

For a short setup, the Half Trend must show a sell signal. The Heikin Ashi candles should turn red and stay below the Half Trend line, while the RSI should be below 50 or crossing downward. The short entry is placed at the close of the confirmation candle.

Exits are managed with a clear structure. The stop loss is placed just beyond the most recent swing: below the swing low for a long trade or above the swing high for a short trade. The take profit can be set in two ways. A conservative method uses a risk-reward ratio of one to one point five, while a more aggressive method closes the position only when the next opposite Half Trend signal appears.

There are additional filters to improve performance. It is best to avoid trading during high-impact news releases, since volatility can distort signals. RSI extremes should also be avoided; if the value is above 80 or below 20, the market may be overextended. A higher-timeframe filter, such as the 15-minute or one-hour Half Trend direction, can be used to trade only in the dominant trend.

For example, around 15:00 on the chart, the Half Trend generated a buy signal. Heikin Ashi candles turned green, and RSI was climbing above 50. A long entry at approximately 1.3530 could have targeted 1.3570, for a forty-pip gain. With a stop loss at 1.3520, the risk was ten pips, resulting in a four to one reward-to-risk ratio.

This strategy combines clarity with discipline: the Half Trend defines direction, RSI confirms momentum, and structured risk management ensures consistency.
