Structured Trade Logging Protocol for Relative Vigor Index (RVI) Strategy

Step-by-step institutional rules and quantitative procedure

1 Structural Divergence Detection

Establish calibrated baseline parameters and execution thesis for Relative Vigor Index (RVI) Strategy. Identify higher price highs with lower oscillator highs (Bearish) or lower price lows with higher oscillator lows (Bullish).

2 Multi-Timeframe Confirmation

Validate divergence on higher timeframe (e.g. 1-hour chart) before executing on 5-minute chart.

3 Trigger Candlestick Confirmation

Wait for a reversal candlestick close in the direction of the divergence (breaking prior candle high/low).

4 Stop Invalidation Level

Place stop-loss 5 to 10 cents beyond the extreme pivot wick creating the divergence.

5 Mean Reversion Target Setting

Conduct weekly cohort audits and system reviews for Relative Vigor Index (RVI) Strategy. Set primary target at the 20 EMA or midline, and secondary target at opposing divergence band.

Trade Journal Cohort Sample: Apple Inc. (AAPL)

Precise formula and quantitative position-sizing model

Formulation & Proof $100k Virtual Capital Sizing
Simulated Account: $100,000 virtual balance. Baseline Risk (1.0R): $1,000. Trade Model: Relative Vigor Index (RVI) Strategy on Apple Inc. (AAPL). AAPL Oscillator Execution Setup: Relative Vigor Index (RVI) Strategy - Divergence Structure: AAPL prints lower low at $222.80 (down from prior low $223.50) - Oscillator Divergence: Indicator prints clear higher low (34.2 vs prior 26.5), signaling seller exhaustion - Entry Confirmation: 5-minute bullish reversal candle closes at $223.60 - Technical Stop Loss: Extreme swing low at $222.60 ($1.00 risk/share) - Position Size: $1,000 / $1.00 = 1,000 shares ($223,600 notional) Trade Resolution: - Primary Target (+2.0R): 20 EMA at $225.60 reached at 11:20 AM (Sell 500 shares -> +$1,000 locked) - Secondary Target (+3.0R): Prior resistance pivot at $226.60 hit at 13:10 AM (Sell 500 shares -> +$1,500 locked) - Net Realized P&L: +$2,500 (+2.50R net return after synthetic execution friction). Cohort Takeaway: Divergence setups against extended moves yielded a 64.0% win rate across 25 trades.

By calculating position size strictly based on the distance between your entry price and technical invalidation level, your risk remains fixed at 1.0R ($1,000) regardless of the asset's nominal price.

Frequently Asked Questions

Essential inquiries on execution, verification, and journal analytics

Q1: Why is Relative Vigor Index (RVI) Strategy critical for simulated paper trading?

In powerful institutional momentum trends, oscillators can remain overbought or oversold for extended periods while price continues to trend. Never trade divergence without price action confirmation.

Q2: What is the best indicator for divergence trading?

RSI and MACD Histogram are the two most reliable indicators for detecting momentum divergence across equities and crypto.

Q3: How does SlateTick support Relative Vigor Index (RVI) Strategy?

Yes, SlateTick's browser-based Python IDE allows you to code custom divergence algorithms and indicator scripts with Pyodide WebAssembly.
