Laguerre RSI Oscillator Trend Filter Forex Strategy for MT5
This strategy combines the Laguerre RSI Oscillator with the Instantaneous Trend Filter Indicator to build a precise trend-following system for the London and US sessions.
The Laguerre RSI Oscillator measures momentum using a smoothed RSI structure.
A transition to blue signals overbought conditions and potential bullish continuation, while a transition to red signals oversold conditions and potential bearish continuation.
This helps identify momentum exhaustion and early reversal zones.
The Instantaneous Trend Filter defines the main market direction.
A blue line indicates a bullish trend, while a magenta line indicates a bearish trend.
This filter helps traders stay aligned with the dominant intraday structure and avoid counter-trend entries.
This strategy works best on M5 and M15 charts during the London and US sessions when volatility and directional movement are strongest.
Buy Entry Rules
- Wait for the Instantaneous Trend Filter to turn blue, confirming a bullish trend.
- Wait for the Laguerre RSI Oscillator to turn red first (oversold condition), then reverse back upward.
- Enter a buy trade when the oscillator leaves the oversold zone and starts turning upward while trend is blue.
- Place stop loss below the most recent swing low or below the nearest support structure.
- Close the trade when the Laguerre RSI turns blue or when the trend filter switches to magenta.
Sell Entry Rules
- Wait for the Instantaneous Trend Filter to turn magenta, confirming a bearish trend.

Case Study 1: London Session Buy Setup (EURUSD M5)
During the London session, EURUSD moved into a clear bullish phase as the Instantaneous Trend Filter turned blue and price started holding above it.
Shortly after, the Laguerre RSI Oscillator dipped into the red oversold zone, showing temporary exhaustion inside the bullish trend.
Instead of continuing downward, the oscillator began turning back upward while the trend filter remained blue.
A buy trade was entered after confirmation of the upward turn.
The stop loss was placed just below the most recent swing low and under the last pullback wick to avoid being stopped by normal volatility.
Price then continued upward in short impulsive waves, respecting small retracements while staying aligned with the blue trend filter.
3 hours later, the long trade was closed when the Laguerre RSI shifted to blue, showing overbought conditions and slowing momentum.
Case Study 2: US Session Sell Setup (GBPJPY M15)
During the US session, GBPJPY failed to break higher and started forming lower highs.
The Instantaneous Trend Filter turned magenta, confirming bearish market conditions.
Later, the Laguerre RSI Oscillator pushed into the blue overbought zone during a retracement, showing exhaustion against the bearish trend.
The oscillator then began turning downward while the magenta trend remained active.
A sell trade was entered at the confirmation of downward reversal.
The stop loss was placed above the recent swing high and slightly above the resistance zone created during the pullback.
Price moved downward in a structured way with minor retracements but stayed below the trend filter.
The trade was closed when the Laguerre RSI turned red again, signaling oversold conditions and possible trend fatigue.
