RSI filter will be automatically enabled if you set RSI threshold to other value than zero.

Thank you, but what does it do exactly? Below or above a certain threshold?

It is described in the link above.

In addition to Z-score based rules, RSI threshold must be below/above the threshold to enter the position. You can think about that as an additional filter on top of the Ratio model.
