Strategy overview

Pairing a moving average with the Relative Strength Index is the most common way traders add a second opinion to a trend signal: the average says which way price is leaning, the oscillator says whether momentum agrees. What distinguishes this entry is how far it strips the idea down — two indicators, no confluence stack, no higher-timeframe overlay, applied on a one-minute chart where the whole trade is decided in the space of a few candles.

The source is a Spanish-language video from the channel Fabian Alejandro Diaz, titled "Los ÚNICOS 2 indicadores que uso para ganar $718 al día haciendo trading" — literally, "the ONLY 2 indicators I use." That framing is the content: the video's argument is subtractive, spending its first minutes on the two-indicator setup and then splitting the rest between long conditions and short conditions treated as separate cases. Notably for a minimalist scalping video, it closes with a dedicated segment on stop loss and take profit rather than ending at the entry — exits are presented as part of the method, not an afterthought left to the viewer. The RSI here functions as an agreement check around its midline rather than as a classic overbought/oversold reversal trigger, which is what makes it compatible with a trend-following average instead of fighting it.

Two honest notes belong with this one. The daily dollar figure in the title is one trader's reported outcome under their own account size, market and execution — it describes a person, not a property of the setup, and it is a marketing hook rather than evidence. And a one-minute holding period changes the arithmetic: spread, commissions and fill quality consume a far larger share of each trade's expectancy than they would on higher timeframes, so a setup that looks clean on a replayed chart can be flat or negative once real costs are applied. This page covers the concept and the video's framing; no mechanical rule set was decoded from this source, since the video is presented as a walkthrough rather than a fully specified system.

Frequently asked questions

How do a moving average and RSI work together in a trading strategy?

The moving average supplies direction — whether price is trading above or below a smoothed reference — while RSI supplies a momentum read that either agrees or disagrees with that direction. Used this way, RSI acts as a confirmation filter around its midline rather than as an overbought/oversold reversal signal, which keeps it aligned with the trend instead of arguing against it.

What timeframe does this two-indicator strategy use?

The one-minute chart, which places it firmly in scalping territory. That choice matters more than it first appears: at one-minute holding times, spread, commissions and execution latency represent a meaningful fraction of each trade's result, so the same logic can behave very differently on a live account than in a chart review.

Does the video cover exits, or only entries?

It covers both. After walking through the indicator setup and treating long and short conditions as separate cases, the video closes with a segment specifically on stop loss and take profit — a component many short-form indicator videos skip entirely.

Should I trust the daily profit figure in the video title?

Treat it as a claim, not a benchmark. A stated daily dollar amount reflects one trader's account size, instrument, costs and execution, none of which transfer to another account, and it is not verified by anything in the video. The only useful answer is your own testing: run the concept on historical intraday data with realistic costs before committing capital.
