Olymp Trade Quickler Trading with Aroon and RSI
Quickler is Olymp Trade's fastest instrument: you pick a direction and the position resolves in seconds — five, in the version this page describes. That speed is the whole appeal and the whole problem. This guide pairs the Aroon indicator with the Relative Strength Index on a Quickler chart: what each one tells you, how to build an entry rule from them, and why a five-second window punishes sloppiness harder than any other setting on the platform.
Why Pair Aroon With RSI
These two indicators are worth combining because they measure different things. RSI is a momentum reading — it scores recent up-closes against recent down-closes on a 0 to 100 scale, so it tells you how stretched the current push is relative to the bars behind it. It says nothing about direction on its own.
Aroon asks a question about time rather than force: how many bars since this market last printed a new high, and how many since the last new low? Two lines track those counts. Aroon Up high with Aroon Down low means fresh highs are still coming; lines tangled together means neither side is breaking new ground.
Each covers the other's blind spot. A stretched RSI alone is a trap — it can stay stretched for the entire length of a real move. Aroon supplies the missing context: is the market reaching new territory, or grinding sideways while momentum swings? Reading only one of the two is how traders end up fading trends that had plenty left in them.
Chart Setup and Settings
The reference parameters:
- Chart time frame: 5 seconds, matched to the Quickler duration so one candle equals one trade.
- Quickler duration: 5 seconds for the core version described here.
- RSI: period 14 with the standard 70 and 30 levels marked. On a chart this fast the RSI brushes those lines constantly, so many traders pull them in to 80 and 20 to thin out weak reads.
- Aroon: period 14, both lines visible so crossings are obvious at a glance.
- Asset: one liquid pair during an active session. Quiet markets give the least reliable five-second candles.
The Entry Logic
Short enough to execute without hesitating:
- Up: RSI has dropped toward its lower band and is curling back up, and Aroon Up crosses above Aroon Down — momentum recovering while the market can still reach higher.
- Down: RSI has pushed into the upper band and is rolling over, and Aroon Down crosses above Aroon Up.
- Stand aside: the two disagree, or the Aroon lines are tangled with no clear separation. Applied honestly, this is your most frequent decision.
Read the signal on a closed candle. A five-second bar can look convincing for three seconds and close the other way. The confirmation you want is the crossing and the RSI turn together — not one arriving while you assume the other will follow.
Being Straight About Five Seconds
Quickler's duration is short enough to change the maths against you. Both Aroon and RSI are computed from closed bars, so both lag by design — and at five seconds that lag eats a real fraction of your entire trade. Spread, tick noise and execution delay all weigh more heavily in so small a window, and a signal that reads cleanly on a one-minute chart can be meaningless here. That does not make the combination worthless; it means five seconds is the hardest place to apply it, not the best. Many traders find consistency improves by slowing down. The Olymp Trade Quickler 5 second strategy covers the instrument itself in more detail, the 1 minute strategy applies similar reasoning with room to breathe, and the same indicator pairing on another platform is broken down in the IQ Option 15 seconds RSI and Aroon guide.
Risk Management Comes First
Losing trades are unavoidable, so sizing is what actually protects your balance. Stake a small fixed percentage per trade, cap your trades per session, and set a daily loss limit you stop at without negotiating. Never raise your stake to chase back a loss — at five-second speed that habit compounds faster than anywhere else. Practise on an Olymp Trade demo account until you have watched this setup fail repeatedly. Those failures are data, and you want to collect them with fake money.
FAQ
Is this a good strategy for beginners?
The indicator pairing is sound, but the five-second Quickler duration is not beginner territory. Learn to read the RSI turn and the Aroon crossing on a one-minute chart first, where signals develop slowly enough to think about, then shorten the window only if the reads still make sense.
What is Quickler and how is it different?
Quickler is Olymp Trade's ultra-short-duration instrument, resolving in seconds rather than minutes. The Quickler option overview explains the mechanics. The trade-off: less waiting, far less margin for a late read.
Do I need a paid indicator for this?
No. Aroon and RSI are standard tools available at no cost, and this method works on their defaults. If you later want alert-based tools that flag these conditions across trading platforms, every indicator on the site is covered by a single $39 lifetime plan.
