If you’ve ever thought that trading forex required massive technical
skills, expensive tools, or 12-hour days glued to your charts—let me tell you, it doesn’t. When I first started forex trading, I was overwhelmed by complex
indicators, dozens of strategies, and conflicting advice online. But
through trial, and error, and disciplined practice, I stumbled upon a
simple strategy that completely changed the game for me.
It all came down to one tool: the
Relative Strength Index (RSI). With this single indicator, a bit
of patience, and clear goals, I consistently make
$95 an hour—and often more—trading forex. Today, I’m breaking
down my exact strategy in a way that anyone can understand and
implement.
By the end of this post, you’ll have a step-by-step plan for
executing trades, setting profit targets, and scaling up over time. And
I’ll even show you live examples of this strategy in action.
Ready to start trading smarter, not harder? Let’s get into it.

1. What Is the RSI Indicator & Why Does It Matter?
Let’s keep this simple: the RSI (Relative Strength Index) is an
indicator used to measure momentum. It tells you whether an
asset—like a forex pair—is overbought or oversold,
signaling when price movements are likely to reverse.
-
RSI Levels:
-
Above 70: Overbought (price may reverse down).
-
Below 30: Oversold (price may reverse up).
In my strategy, the magic happens when the RSI dips to
30 or lower—that’s when I look for
buy opportunities.

2. Why I Love This Strategy
There are tons of strategies out there, but here’s why this one works
for me (and why it can work for you too):
-
It’s Simple: No crazy combinations of indicators. Just the
RSI.
-
It’s Reliable: When the RSI hits 30,
reversals are highly likely.
-
It’s Quick: I often hit my profit target in 10-20 minutes and
close my trade.
-
It’s Scalable: By setting hourly goals, I can steadily build
up profits over time.
My Step-By-Step RSI Trading Strategy
Step 1: Add the RSI to Your Charts
-
If you’re using MetaTrader 4/5, TradingView, or any major
platform, the RSI will be available under the
indicators tab.
- I recommend that you get trade currency pairs like GBP/USD e.t.c
-
Set the RSI parameters:
-
Period: 14 (default).
-
Levels: 30 & 70.
This setup lets you easily identify overbought & oversold conditions.
Step 2: Wait for the RSI to Hit 30 (Oversold Zone)
This is where patience comes in.
-
The RSI will drop to 30 when a currency pair is in a
downtrend and oversold.
-
Don’t rush! Wait until the RSI confirms its position at or below 30
before entering a buy trade.
At this point, I’m confident the market will reverse upwards, and that’s where I make my move.
Step 3: Enter the Trade
Once I see the RSI hit 30 and a reversal begins, I place a
buy order. A few key things to note:
-
Position Sizing: Start with small lot sizes if you’re a
beginner. Never risk too much in a single trade.
-
Stop Loss: Set a stop loss slightly below the recent low to
protect your capital.
-
Take Profit: I target small, consistent profits rather than
aiming for unrealistic gains.
Step 4: Manage the Trade & Secure Profits
The RSI strategy is all about patience and precision:
-
Watch the trade progress, and don’t panic over small movements.
- As soon as my profit target is hit, I exit the trade. Whether I make $20, $90, or $200—it’s all about consistency.
Step 5: Move On & Don’t Overtrade
One of the most important lessons I’ve learned is
not to get greedy. Trading is not about hitting home runs every
time. Even if I hit $95 for the hour, that’s enough for me to walk away
and come back later.
Why? Because consistent small wins add up to life-changing
income.

3. Why This Strategy Works: My Key Rules
To succeed with this RSI strategy, I follow a set of rules that
keep me focused and profitable:
-
Only Trade Clear Setups
-
If the RSI isn’t at or below 30, I don’t trade. Period.
-
Never force trades—wait for the market.
-
Stick to Small, Realistic Goals
-
My hourly goal is $95. This adds up to $380/day (4 hours a day),
$1,900/week, and $7,600/month.
-
As I gain confidence, I scale up, aiming for $200/hour on certain
days.
-
Protect Your Capital
-
Use a stop loss to prevent big losses if a trade doesn’t go
your way.
-
Only risk 1-3% of your total account balance per trade.
-
Take Profit Early
-
Don’t stay in a trade longer than you need to. If I hit my target,
I close the trade and move on.
-
Control Your Emotions
-
No revenge trading. If I lose more than 3 trades in a day,
I stop trading for the day.

4. The Power of Hourly Goals (& How I Do the Math)
Let’s break it down to show how this simple $95/hour goal can add
up:
- 1 hour = $95
-
4 hours/day = $380/day
-
5 days/week = $1,900/week
-
4 weeks/month = $7,200/month
Here’s where it gets exciting. Compounding these earnings across a
year:
-
$6,800 x 12 months = $81,600 per year.
And this is me trading part-time! Scaling up (e.g., aiming for $200/hour) would push this well over six figures annually.
5. Live Example: RSI Strategy in Action
Let’s walk through an actual trade I recently executed using this
strategy:
-
Before Trade: I noticed the RSI had dropped to 29.8 on
a 15-minute chart. Price was moving in a clear downtrend.
-
During the Trade: I waited for the RSI to show upward
movement. Once price began reversing, I entered a
buy position.
- After Trade: Within 15 minutes, the price shot up, and I closed my trade with an $95 profit.
6. Tips for Beginners: Start Small & Scale Up
If you’re new to forex:
-
Use a Demo Account: Practice this strategy without risking
real money.
-
Trade Small: Start with tiny lot sizes to protect your
capital.
-
Set Goals: Even $20/hour can add up as you build
confidence.
