About DCA vs RSI(6) backtesting

Compare dollar-cost averaging (DCA) with RSI(6) oversold buy signals for US stocks and ETFs. Enter any ticker — SPY, QQQ, AAPL, NVDA — and backtest 1–10 years of history. See whether RSI threshold buying (RSI < 20 / 25 / 30) beats daily DCA on average cost and total return.

What is RSI(6)?
RSI (Relative Strength Index) with a 6-day period — more responsive than RSI 14 for short-term oversold signals on US equities.
How does this compare DCA and RSI strategies?
Both assume 1 total share split across buy days: DCA buys every trading day; RSI strategies buy only when RSI(6) drops below 20, 25, or 30.
