RSI Oscillator Playground

When does overbought really mean sell?

Test an RSI mean-reversion rule and see why it wins in range-bound markets and fails in trends, where overbought stays overbought. Tune the period and thresholds and watch the signals, win rate, and returns.

Drawdown & Recovery Calculator

Why does a 50% loss need a 100% gain?

See the brutal asymmetry of losses: a 50% fall needs a 100% gain — and years — to undo. Drag the drawdown and recovery return and watch the gap, the maths behind why panic-selling near the bottom is so costly.

Systematic Model Sandbox

Combine signals — and meet overfitting

Blend a trend filter and a momentum filter with weights and a conviction threshold, then compare to each signal alone and buy-and-hold. See how combining can smooth the ride — and how every extra knob invites curve-fitting.
