Build an RSI Momentum Alert

This quickstart uses the available RSI Momentum Alert Starter. It watches daily SPY bars, calculates RSI with a period of 14, and sends an account-email alert when RSI is above 55.

Prerequisites

Sign in to a Screebits account with Flow Editor access, permission and plan capacity to create a Tactical strategy, and access to the RSI Momentum Alert Starter. Alerts in this version use the account email associated with the strategy.

What you will build

The graph contains five nodes:

1. Event Trigger starts the control path when a daily SPY bar closes.
2. Data Source supplies daily SPY bars.
3. Indicator calculates RSI(14) from closing prices.
4. Condition compares the RSI value with 55.
5. Alert continues from Match and prepares the message for your account email.

Event Trigger → Condition → Alert is the control path. Data Source → Indicator → Condition carries data and does not start the Alert by itself.

Create the Starter

1. Open Strategies and choose New strategy. If the list is empty, choose Create first strategy instead.
2. Select Tactical.
3. Enter a clear strategy name.
4. In Starters, select RSI Momentum Alert.
5. Create the strategy.

The Flow Editor opens with the five-node graph already arranged.

Inspect the graph

Select each node and open the Inspector:

• Event Trigger uses On Bar Close, SPY, and a one-day timeframe.
• Data Source uses SPY and the same timeframe.
• Indicator uses RSI, period 14, and Close.
• Condition uses the greater-than operator and the literal value 55.
• Alert uses Account Email and a literal message.

Select a connection to confirm whether it is a control or data connection.

Change the threshold

1. Select Condition.
2. In Parameters, change Right literal from 55 to 60.
3. Apply the edit if the control asks you to confirm it.
4. Select Alert and, in Parameters, change Message to SPY RSI momentum signal: RSI crossed above 60.

The graph is now dirty. The alert will match only when the connected RSI value is above 60, and its message now reports the same threshold.

Validate and save

1. Open the validation area.
2. Resolve every blocking issue. The Starter begins with one primary activation and valid connections; changing the threshold and message should not alter those relationships.
3. Choose Save strategy, or use Ctrl+S or Command+S.
4. Wait for the saved state. Do not close the page while it reports saving, offline, conflict, or error.

Reopen the strategy

1. Return to Strategies.
2. Open the strategy you created.
3. Select Condition and confirm that the right-side value is 60.
4. Select Alert and confirm that its literal message ends with above 60.

You have now created, changed, validated, saved, and reopened a Tactical strategy.

Continue safely

Try changing the Alert message or use Quick add to explore compatible nodes. When the graph is saved and ready, follow Run a Backtest. A Backtest is a simulation, not a prediction.
