wickra/examples/c/strategy_rsi_mean_reversion.c

/* Strategy example: RSI mean-reversion on hourly BTCUSDT data (Wickra C ABI).
 *
 * Goes long when RSI(14) crosses below 30 (oversold), exits when RSI crosses
 * above 70 (overbought). Position is binary (full-in / full-out), fees are 0.1%
 * per trade (Binance maker tier), no stop-loss. The C counterpart of
 * `examples/rust/src/bin/strategy_rsi_mean_reversion.rs`.
 *
 * Educational example. NOT a recommended trading strategy — the point is to
 * show how a Wickra streaming indicator wires into a signal -> fill -> PnL ->
 * equity loop. Uses the checked-in `examples/data/btcusdt-1h.csv` dataset.
 *
 * Build (after `cargo build -p wickra-c --release`):
 *   cc examples/c/strategy_rsi_mean_reversion.c -I bindings/c/include -L target/release -lwickra -lm -o strat_rsi
