The idea

Overbought and oversold readings of an oscillator call turns.

Why it feels right

A bounded line at an extreme looks like a spring.

What the data said

As an intraday signal, inside the over-extension screen: 0 survivors after costs. The only residue in the whole class is a daily RSI extreme with a weak signal, far from any video's claim.

The laws that apply

  • Costs decide.

    The toll (spread, commission, slippage, financing) is the biggest lever we have ever measured: lowering it from 2 to 0.55 basis points changed a strategy's result by more than any rule change. An edge that only exists below real costs is not an edge, and most intraday videos sit in that gap: positive gross, negative net.

  • Combining weak signals has a ceiling.

    Stacking filters cannot beat the square root of their summed strength, and every added filter costs a multiple-testing haircut. 888 combinations of over-extension detectors could not clear the toll together any more than alone.
