Technical dip buy

Too few

“If [TICKER] RSI drops below 30 and price is above its 200-day SMA, buy $[X]. Stop-loss at 2x ATR.”

As tested: On SPY (the card leaves the ticker blank): 14-day RSI crosses under 30 while SPY is above its 200-day → buy at the next open, stop about 2× the average daily range (2.5%) below, out after 20 sessions. Compared with buying SPY on any day.
