Pete's RSI Levels¶
Pete uses 90 and 10 levels on regular RSI. Not 70 and 30 or 80 and 20.
Rubber Band Effect¶
Ben of Verified Investing
Having too low RSI under say 30-40 entire day on a stock getting hammered also sometimes acts like a rubber band and may push up for small 3-4% push-ups.
Doji Candle Reading¶
Also on doji candle if there is no top shadow then it could be reversal on uptrend. Watch the doji candle reading videos properly.
Laguerre RSI¶
Pete credits Dave for it. He recommends using 0.7 gamma and reading above 80.
Entry Methods¶
Safe Entry: - Enter when LRSI crosses 0.8 from below - Exit when it crosses below 0.8
Dip Buying: - Enter when it crosses 0.2 above from below - Hold it until it goes above 0.8 and dips below again 0.8
Caveat
Sometimes when you enter at 0.2, LRSI may keep going up but price could come back or make lower low etc, so it's not perfect indicator to use by itself. Obviously, you need to use it in confluence with other indicators.

Dave Wyse Warning¶
Unknown Long-Term Performance
Dave is selling high win rate with his system. We don't know what his true win rate over a long period of time is. In his video he shows over few weeks. We don't know how his system works on any chart, say NVDA on 5 min basis tested for years.
