The purpose of the RSI roller-coaster is to harvest points from range-bound currency pairs. First and foremost, this setup works best in a range environment when overbought and oversold readings are far more likely to be true signals of a change in direction. The setup is also much more accurate on the daily charts than on smaller time frames like hourly charts. The primary reason for this difference is that daily charts incorporate far more data points into their subsets and, therefore, turns in momentum tend to be more meaningful on longer time frames.
