RSI, or Relative Strength Index, is one of the most common signals used in trading bots. It helps measure whether price has stretched too far in one direction and can be useful for timing entries, exits, or pauses.
On its own, RSI is not enough to run a full strategy. In practice, traders get better results by combining it with trend filters, price structure, or trailing logic. This page explains how RSI fits into automated trading and how Gunbot can use it as part of a broader ruleset.
RSI is best used as a condition inside a larger strategy. A bot can wait for RSI to move into oversold territory before looking for a buy, or watch for overbought readings before tightening exit logic. The key is context. In a strong trend, RSI can stay elevated or depressed for longer than expected, so the most practical setups use it together with price action, moving averages, or trailing rules. Gunbot supports this kind of layered logic, letting you decide whether RSI should trigger trades directly or simply act as a filter that improves timing.
Use RSI levels to decide when the bot is allowed to enter or exit, instead of reacting to every move.
Combine RSI with moving averages or market structure so the bot does not buy every falling market blindly.
Run RSI checks on short or long timeframes depending on whether you trade fast moves or slower swings.
Use RSI inside built-in settings or in custom JavaScript when you want more control over how signals are handled.
RSI often works best in mean-reverting or range-bound conditions, where price tends to move back toward a middle area after short bursts. In strong trends, it still has value, but mostly as a supporting signal rather than a standalone trigger. A practical Gunbot setup might use RSI to avoid poor entries, delay extra buys, or confirm that a pullback has gone far enough to be worth acting on. This keeps the indicator useful without forcing it to explain every market move.
I’m a rocky in this world and very surprise that I’m on the leaderboard must I say. I tried other platforms but Gunbot is the best because there is a very helpful community and developers. I tried some strats and at the end I’m very happy with MFrider for a mid / longterm.
I did a substantial amount of research before purchasing automated trading software and I can confidently say I have zero regrets going with Gunbot. I come from a manual trading background, and the support network here is absolutely insane in terms of helpfulness—the response time is faster than what you would get from your wife! This product deserves a 5 star review ALL DAY LONG.
Trailing stops are great and all but let’s be honest, on markets that run 24/7 more is required. Much more. GunBot was something I wished for a long time and my only regret is not doing it sooner. The bot itself has been awesome so far, and the support has been even better. Very fast responses, super knowledgeable, and friendly.
I bought Gunbot back in the end of 2017, traded a bit, but then other things came in the way so I put it on ice. Recently I wrote a message in the contact form, and after like 20 minutes I got an email. They helped me get the bot back up running almost instantly. I did not expect such customer service after 3 years of owning a crypto bot. Gunbot withstands the test of time!
Its making money out of the box just after editing balance settings, I have a plan to use it for scalping using TA, turning it on or off depending on the market, but so far it is great.
After being quite suspicious I have quite good results with the spotgrid. Did not understand it properly in the first place - but now got the hang of it and it works quite well.
BTW, your support is mind-blowing, but watching your baby bot grow for a few years now is a whole other game. You guys are absolutely the best!
I’ve been using Gunbot for quite some time, and it has been a solid trading tool for me. The interface is easy enough to pick up, but it’s definitely not for complete beginners with no trading experience. You still need to think things through and apply your own knowledge to get the best results from its many features. In terms of performance, it has been consistent, and I’ve rarely run into issues. When I did have questions, the support team responded quickly and helped me out. If you know your way around trading and want a bot that offers flexibility, Gunbot is a good choice.
I look around and see so many talented people working on their own great strategies. It's very heartening to be with people who want the same.
I remember the time I came to Gunbot from Haasonline; I have made maybe the rightest choice in my life.

Bought Gunbot in November, fumbled with Sim in December... Kicked off real trading last month... And after 1 month I made back the ultimate lifetime licence cost 2 times. Thanks for your great software @GuntharDeNiro and to all those who helped make it stronger with new strategies and feedback for improving the systems over the years. This is the best bot I have seen in terms of control we have as a user.
Would definitely give Gunbot 5 stars. Because even for someone like me, who is a complete beginner to the world of trading bots, and will obviously struggle with the typical 'newbie' error codes associated with setting up a new software that you are not familiar with. Their fast responding support team and wiki were more than enough to solve theseissues.
Major love to the GB team. I started trading on DYDX using SGSFutures on Feb 26th. Started with $496 USD and I'm currently at $1,358 USD today in portfolio value. Running on 20 pairs. :)
Outstanding Trading Bot with Robust Features and Reliability! Gunbot has consistently exceeded my expectations.
StepGridHedge worked like a charm in this up/down market, so far best from out of the box strategy, fire and forget and drink mojitos :)
I want to thank you for guiding me and being a motivator and a jumpstater for my GUnbot dev path 25 days ago. It was successfull so far. I want to share some of my success in comparison with bybits TOP Copy Traders and glimpse of My Gunbot custom Future COPYtrading software beating the best in the COPYTrading world.
Having purchased Gunbot back in 2017, and using it on and off throughout the years, I am always impressed by the improvements made here internally and through the community. I rarely have to ask questions because I can find what I need on the wiki or through the telegram channel. You guys are amazing and thank you.
Great peace of Software. Always evolving. New features added all the time without additional cost. Amazing community helping each other out with trading and other stuff.
I am very thankful for everyone here—a fun little community! The difference since 5 years ago would be difficult to even explain to new users. There are some extremely talented/ingenious people here.
Best Software of its kind. I have been using Gunbot for almost a year now; its performance is remarkable and automation makes it a real money maker with added peace of mind. The team is very supportive and the documentation is excellent. Still more valuable features can be added that I am looking forward to see.

I tested a few automated trading bot software last few weeks, and Gunbot stands out as the best one because it's not limited like the others. Well done, guys!
Look, use stepgridscalp leave default and make money. [...] This community is fantastic and I will testify it is not a scam. Been a part of it since 2017. Making big fucking money with it.
It’s extremely intimidating to allow a bot to control large sums of your money. Support had me go live in two days from payment to first trade. I’m sitting here writing this, watching my daughter play, bot streaming in background, and I finally feel like I can look away from my screen for more than 10 minutes.
Running so good out of the box I haven’t really looked into all switches and details
StepGrid has become default to beat (and pretty hard)
It's a great product. I spent about a year working on my own bot in Python before discovering Gunbot. It turned out to be exactly what I envisioned for my 'dream bot,' but far more advanced and mature. That's why I consider it an excellent product that is worth every dollar. Thank you very much, and Merry Christmas!
The strats in the last year have been just crazy. The competition and especially the top 5 each time are just completely insane. The last year for Gunbot was unbelievable. If we had what we have right now, with no changes or updates, we would be already golden. Those strats just keep getting better and more refined. I never felt more confident in recommending Gunbot to a friend than now.
My friend and I have been comparing Eazybot vs Gunbot. Gunbot is definitely better and more flexible in the long run. In addition, so far it is winning the comparisons we've been doing.
I knew manual trading pretty good but GB was the catalyst to learn how to codify that.
