ATR and RSI in price action

OANDA:IN50USD   None
I explain in this video how I view the relationship between ATR and RSI in true trend following situations. This is not about trend continuation or harmonics.

This is on the India50 - a 2H time frame. But always one has to look higher to understand the risk and rebellions that may be ahead.

Trading is not about investing. It is primarily about exploiting parts of trends. So you're in and out of the markets, to catch a slice of some trend.

There are bound to be losses. You absolutely cannot make profits without suffering losses.

The business of minimising losses and maximising winning positions - in trend following - has no strict formula. It is about experience in the markets. And each market/instrument has its own personality.

For tend followers taking some or all profits in a deep RSI trench is a good thing. The ATR can show important trend switches.

There are trading platforms that can be programmed to follow the ATR (or any other indicator), in trend following. (House rules do not permit me to mention here). On such platforms one can program a trade to close if price is above or below a certain figure on the RSI.
