Help Please. Problem with RSI Activating Trade on Wrong Bar

[gordonhmilton]

Hi Folks,

As you will see from the first image, I am trying to get the RSI to trigger a trade when the the candle closes and the RSI has crossed above the 20 line.

The second image is showing the RSI is triggering the trade 3 bars early. The orange arrow is showing where the bar has closed after the RSI has crossed from below to above the 20 line.
The open of the next candle is the trigger for the trade to open.

The sell side has the same problem - opening the trade at three bars early.

What am I doing wrong, please?

try to specify a candle ID.

0 is current, 1 is the last one, 2 is two before the current as so on.

for an indicator like RSI, first Id suggest tossing the indicator. But if you must use it, C1 (candle 1) is probably what you're looking for.
