    rsi_upper: int
        upper rsi band indicating overbought instrument
    rsi_lower: int
        lower rsi band indicating oversold instrument
    start: str
        start date for data retrieval
    end: str
        end date for data retrieval
    tc: float
        proportional transaction costs per trade
        
        
    Methods
    =======
    get_data:
        retrieves and prepares the data
        
    set_parameters:
        sets new RSI parameter(s)
        
    test_strategy:
        runs the backtest for the RSI-based strategy
        
    plot_results:
        plots the performance of the strategy compared to buy and hold
        
    update_and_run:
        updates RSI parameters and returns the negative absolute performance (for minimization algorithm)
        
    optimize_parameters:
        implements a brute force optimization for the three RSI parameters
