Volume-Weighted RSI with Adaptive SmoothingThis indicator is designed to provide traders with insights into the relative strength of a security by incorporating volume-weighted elements, effectively combining the concepts of Relative Strength Index (RSI) and volume-weighted averages to generate meaningful trading signals.
The indicator calculates the traditional RSI, which measures the speed and change of price movements, as well as the volume-weighted RSI, which considers the influence of trading volume on price action. It then applies adaptive smoothing to the volume-weighted RSI, allowing for customization of the smoothing process. The resulting smoothed volume-weighted RSI is plotted alongside the original RSI, providing traders with a comprehensive view of the price strength dynamics.
The line coloration in this indicator is designed to provide visual cues about the relationship between the RSI and the volume-weighted RSI. When the RSI line is above or equal to the volume-weighted RSI line, it suggests a potentially bullish condition with positive market momentum. In such cases, the line is colored lime. Conversely, when the RSI line (fuchsia) is below the volume-weighted RSI line, it indicates a potentially bearish condition with negative market momentum. The line color is set to fuchsia. By observing the line color, traders can quickly assess the relative strength between the RSI and the volume-weighted RSI, aiding their decision-making process.
The bar color and background color further enhance the visual interpretation of the indicator. The bar color reflects the RSI's relationship with the volume-weighted RSI and the predefined thresholds. If the RSI line is above both the volume-weighted RSI line and the overbought threshold (70), the bar color is set to lime, indicating a potentially overbought condition. Conversely, if the RSI line is below both the volume-weighted RSI line and the oversold threshold (30), the bar color is set to fuchsia, suggesting a potentially oversold condition. When the RSI line is between these two thresholds, the bar color is set to yellow, indicating a neutral or intermediate state. The background color, displayed with a semi-transparent shade, provides additional context by reflecting the prevailing market conditions. It turns lime if the volume-weighted RSI is above the overbought threshold, fuchsia if below the oversold threshold, and yellow if it falls between these two thresholds. This coloration scheme aids traders in quickly assessing market conditions and potential trading opportunities.
Calculations:
-- RSI Calculation : The traditional RSI is calculated based on the price movements of the asset. The up and down movements are determined, and exponential moving averages are used to smooth the values. The RSI value ranges from 0 to 100, with levels above 70 indicating overbought conditions and levels below 30 indicating oversold conditions.
-- Volume-Weighted RSI Calculation : The volume-weighted RSI incorporates the trading volume of the asset into the calculations. The closing price is multiplied by the corresponding volume, and the average is taken over a specific length. The up and down movements are smoothed using exponential moving averages to generate the volume-weighted RSI value.
-- Adaptive Smoothing : The indicator offers an adaptive smoothing option, allowing traders to customize the smoothing process of the volume-weighted RSI. By adjusting the smoothing length, traders can fine-tune the responsiveness of the indicator to changes in market conditions. Smoothing helps reduce noise and enhances the clarity of the signals.
Interpretation:
The indicator provides two main components for interpretation:
-- RSI : The traditional RSI reflects the price momentum and potential overbought or oversold conditions. Traders can look for RSI values above 70 as potential overbought signals, suggesting a possible price reversal or correction. Conversely, RSI values below 30 indicate potential oversold signals, indicating a potential price rebound or rally.
-- Volume-Weighted RSI : The volume-weighted RSI incorporates trading volume, which provides insights into the strength of price movements. When the volume-weighted RSI is above the traditional RSI, it suggests that the buying pressure supported by higher volume is stronger, potentially indicating a more reliable trend. Conversely, when the volume-weighted RSI is below the traditional RSI, it suggests that the selling pressure supported by higher volume is stronger, potentially indicating a more significant price reversal.
Potential Strategies:
-- Overbought and Oversold Signals : Traders can utilize the RSI component of the indicator to identify overbought and oversold conditions. A potential strategy is to consider taking short positions when the RSI is above 70 and long positions when the RSI is below 30. These levels can act as dynamic support and resistance areas, indicating possible price reversals.
-- Confirmation with Volume : Traders can use the volume-weighted RSI as a confirmation tool to validate price movements. When the volume-weighted RSI is above the traditional RSI, it may provide additional confirmation for long positions, suggesting stronger buying pressure. Conversely, when the volume-weighted RSI is below the traditional RSI, it may provide confirmation for short positions, indicating stronger selling pressure.
-- Trend Reversal Strategy : Watch for the volume-weighted RSI to reach extreme levels above 70 (overbought) or below 30 (oversold). Look for a reversal signal where the RSI line (green or fuchsia) crosses below or above the volume-weighted RSI line. Enter a trade when the reversal signal occurs, and the RSI line changes color. Exit the trade when the RSI line crosses back in the opposite direction or reaches the opposite extreme level.
-- Divergence Strategy : Compare the direction of the RSI line (green or fuchsia) with the volume-weighted RSI line. A bullish divergence occurs when the RSI line makes higher lows while the volume-weighted RSI line makes lower lows. A bearish divergence occurs when the RSI line makes lower highs while the volume-weighted RSI line makes higher highs. Once a divergence is identified, wait for the RSI line to cross above or below the volume-weighted RSI line as confirmation of a potential trend reversal. Consider using additional indicators or price action analysis to time the entry more accurately. Use stop-loss orders and profit targets to manage risk and secure profits.
-- Trend Continuation Strategy : Assess the overall trend direction by observing the RSI line's position relative to the volume-weighted RSI line. When the RSI line consistently stays above the volume-weighted RSI line, it indicates a bullish trend, while the opposite suggests a bearish trend. Look for temporary pullbacks within the ongoing trend where the RSI line (green or fuchsia) touches or crosses the volume-weighted RSI line. Enter trades in the direction of the dominant trend when the RSI line crosses back in the trend direction. Exit the trade when the RSI line starts to deviate significantly from the volume-weighted RSI line or when the trend shows signs of weakening through other technical or fundamental factors.
Limitations:
-- False Signals : Like any indicator, the "Volume-Weighted RSI with Adaptive Smoothing" may produce false signals, especially during periods of low liquidity or choppy market conditions. Traders should exercise caution and consider using additional confirmation indicators or tools to validate the signals generated by this indicator.
-- Lagging Nature : The indicator relies on historical price data and volume to calculate the RSI and volume-weighted RSI. As a result, the signals provided may have a certain degree of lag compared to real-time price action. Traders should be aware of this inherent lag and consider combining the indicator with other timely indicators to enhance the accuracy of their trading decisions.
-- Parameter Sensitivity : The indicator's effectiveness can be influenced by the choice of parameters, such as the length of the RSI, smoothing length, and adaptive smoothing option. Different market conditions may require adjustments to these parameters to optimize performance. Traders are encouraged to conduct thorough testing and analysis to determine the most suitable parameter values for their specific trading strategies and preferences.
-- Market Conditions : The indicator's performance may vary depending on the prevailing market conditions. It is essential to understand that no indicator can guarantee accurate predictions or consistently profitable trades. Traders should consider the broader market context, fundamental factors, and other technical indicators to complement the insights provided by the "Volume-Weighted RSI with Adaptive Smoothing" indicator.
-- Subjectivity : Interpretation of the indicator's signals involves subjective judgment. Traders may have varying interpretations of overbought and oversold levels, as well as the significance of the volume-weighted RSI in relation to the traditional RSI. It is crucial to combine the indicator with personal analysis and trading experience to make informed trading decisions.
Remember, no single indicator can provide foolproof trading signals. The "Volume-Weighted RSI with Adaptive Smoothing" indicator serves as a valuable tool for analyzing price strength and volume dynamics. It can assist traders in identifying potential entry and exit points, validating trends, and managing risk. However, it should be used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy that considers multiple factors and indicators to increase the likelihood of successful trades.

Stochastic RSI of Smoothed Price [Loxx]What is Stochastic RSI of Smoothed Price?
This indicator is just as it's title suggests. There are six different signal types, various price smoothing types, and seven types of RSI.
This indicator contains 7 different types of RSI:
RSX
Regular
Slow
Rapid
Harris
Cuttler
Ehlers Smoothed
What is RSI?
RSI stands for Relative Strength Index . It is a technical indicator used to measure the strength or weakness of a financial instrument's price action.
The RSI is calculated based on the price movement of an asset over a specified period of time, typically 14 days, and is expressed on a scale of 0 to 100. The RSI is considered overbought when it is above 70 and oversold when it is below 30.
Traders and investors use the RSI to identify potential buy and sell signals. When the RSI indicates that an asset is oversold, it may be considered a buying opportunity, while an overbought RSI may signal that it is time to sell or take profits.
It's important to note that the RSI should not be used in isolation and should be used in conjunction with other technical and fundamental analysis tools to make informed trading decisions.
What is RSX?
Jurik RSX is a technical analysis indicator that is a variation of the Relative Strength Index Smoothed ( RSX ) indicator. It was developed by Mark Jurik and is designed to help traders identify trends and momentum in the market.
The Jurik RSX uses a combination of the RSX indicator and an adaptive moving average (AMA) to smooth out the price data and reduce the number of false signals. The adaptive moving average is designed to adjust the smoothing period based on the current market conditions, which makes the indicator more responsive to changes in price.
The Jurik RSX can be used to identify potential trend reversals and momentum shifts in the market. It oscillates between 0 and 100, with values above 50 indicating a bullish trend and values below 50 indicating a bearish trend . Traders can use these levels to make trading decisions, such as buying when the indicator crosses above 50 and selling when it crosses below 50.
The Jurik RSX is a more advanced version of the RSX indicator, and while it can be useful in identifying potential trade opportunities, it should not be used in isolation. It is best used in conjunction with other technical and fundamental analysis tools to make informed trading decisions.
What is Slow RSI?
Slow RSI is a variation of the traditional Relative Strength Index ( RSI ) indicator. It is a more smoothed version of the RSI and is designed to filter out some of the noise and short-term price fluctuations that can occur with the standard RSI .
The Slow RSI uses a longer period of time than the traditional RSI , typically 21 periods instead of 14. This longer period helps to smooth out the price data and makes the indicator less reactive to short-term price fluctuations.
Like the traditional RSI , the Slow RSI is used to identify potential overbought and oversold conditions in the market. It oscillates between 0 and 100, with values above 70 indicating overbought conditions and values below 30 indicating oversold conditions. Traders often use these levels as potential buy and sell signals.
The Slow RSI is a more conservative version of the RSI and can be useful in identifying longer-term trends in the market. However, it can also be slower to respond to changes in price, which may result in missed trading opportunities. Traders may choose to use a combination of both the Slow RSI and the traditional RSI to make informed trading decisions.
What is Rapid RSI?
Same as regular RSI but with a faster calculation method
What is Harris RSI?
Harris RSI is a technical analysis indicator that is a variation of the Relative Strength Index ( RSI ). It was developed by Larry Harris and is designed to help traders identify potential trend changes and momentum shifts in the market.
The Harris RSI uses a different calculation formula compared to the traditional RSI . It takes into account both the opening and closing prices of a financial instrument, as well as the high and low prices. The Harris RSI is also normalized to a range of 0 to 100, with values above 50 indicating a bullish trend and values below 50 indicating a bearish trend .
Like the traditional RSI , the Harris RSI is used to identify potential overbought and oversold conditions in the market. It oscillates between 0 and 100, with values above 70 indicating overbought conditions and values below 30 indicating oversold conditions. Traders often use these levels as potential buy and sell signals.
The Harris RSI is a more advanced version of the RSI and can be useful in identifying longer-term trends in the market. However, it can also generate more false signals than the standard RSI . Traders may choose to use a combination of both the Harris RSI and the traditional RSI to make informed trading decisions.
What is Cuttler RSI?
Cuttler RSI is a technical analysis indicator that is a variation of the Relative Strength Index ( RSI ). It was developed by Curt Cuttler and is designed to help traders identify potential trend changes and momentum shifts in the market.
The Cuttler RSI uses a different calculation formula compared to the traditional RSI . It takes into account the difference between the closing price of a financial instrument and the average of the high and low prices over a specified period of time. This difference is then normalized to a range of 0 to 100, with values above 50 indicating a bullish trend and values below 50 indicating a bearish trend .
Like the traditional RSI , the Cuttler RSI is used to identify potential overbought and oversold conditions in the market. It oscillates between 0 and 100, with values above 70 indicating overbought conditions and values below 30 indicating oversold conditions. Traders often use these levels as potential buy and sell signals.
The Cuttler RSI is a more advanced version of the RSI and can be useful in identifying longer-term trends in the market. However, it can also generate more false signals than the standard RSI . Traders may choose to use a combination of both the Cuttler RSI and the traditional RSI to make informed trading decisions.
What is Ehlers Smoothed RSI?
Ehlers smoothed RSI is a technical analysis indicator that is a variation of the Relative Strength Index ( RSI ). It was developed by John Ehlers and is designed to help traders identify potential trend changes and momentum shifts in the market.
The Ehlers smoothed RSI uses a different calculation formula compared to the traditional RSI . It uses a smoothing algorithm that is designed to reduce the noise and random fluctuations that can occur with the standard RSI . The smoothing algorithm is based on a concept called "digital signal processing" and is intended to improve the accuracy of the indicator.
Like the traditional RSI , the Ehlers smoothed RSI is used to identify potential overbought and oversold conditions in the market. It oscillates between 0 and 100, with values above 70 indicating overbought conditions and values below 30 indicating oversold conditions. Traders often use these levels as potential buy and sell signals.
The Ehlers smoothed RSI can be useful in identifying longer-term trends and momentum shifts in the market. However, it can also generate more false signals than the standard RSI . Traders may choose to use a combination of both the Ehlers smoothed RSI and the traditional RSI to make informed trading decisions.
What is Stochastic RSI?
Stochastic RSI (StochRSI) is a technical analysis indicator that combines the concepts of the Stochastic Oscillator and the Relative Strength Index (RSI). It is used to identify potential overbought and oversold conditions in financial markets, as well as to generate buy and sell signals based on the momentum of price movements.
To understand Stochastic RSI, let's first define the two individual indicators it is based on:
Stochastic Oscillator: A momentum indicator that compares a particular closing price of a security to a range of its prices over a certain period. It is used to identify potential trend reversals and generate buy and sell signals.
Relative Strength Index (RSI): A momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. It ranges between 0 and 100 and is used to identify overbought or oversold conditions in the market.
Now, let's dive into the Stochastic RSI:
The Stochastic RSI applies the Stochastic Oscillator formula to the RSI values, essentially creating an indicator of an indicator. It helps to identify when the RSI is in overbought or oversold territory with more sensitivity, providing more frequent signals than the standalone RSI.
The formula for StochRSI is as follows:
StochRSI = (RSI - Lowest Low RSI) / (Highest High RSI - Lowest Low RSI)
Where:
RSI is the current RSI value.
Lowest Low RSI is the lowest RSI value over a specified period (e.g., 14 days).
Highest High RSI is the highest RSI value over the same specified period.
StochRSI ranges from 0 to 1, but it is usually multiplied by 100 for easier interpretation, making the range 0 to 100. Like the RSI, values close to 0 indicate oversold conditions, while values close to 100 indicate overbought conditions. However, since the StochRSI is more sensitive, traders typically use 20 as the oversold threshold and 80 as the overbought threshold.
Traders use the StochRSI to generate buy and sell signals by looking for crossovers with a signal line (a moving average of the StochRSI), similar to the way the Stochastic Oscillator is used. When the StochRSI crosses above the signal line, it is considered a bullish signal, and when it crosses below the signal line, it is considered a bearish signal.
It is essential to use the Stochastic RSI in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and indicators, as well as to consider the overall market context, to improve the accuracy and reliability of trading signals.

Open Interest RSI [BackQuant]Open Interest RSI
A multi-venue open interest oscillator that aggregates OI across major derivatives exchanges, converts it to coin or USD terms, and runs an RSI-style engine on that aggregated OI so you can track positioning pressure, crowding, and mean reversion in leverage flows, not just in price.
What this is
This tool is an RSI built on top of aggregated open interest instead of price. It pulls futures OI from several major exchanges, converts it into a unified unit (COIN or USD), sums it into a single synthetic OI candle, then applies RSI and smoothing to that combined series.
You can then render that Open Interest RSI in different visual modes:
Clean line or colored line for classic oscillator-style reads.
Column-style oscillator for impulse and compression views.
Flag mode that fills between OI RSI and its EMA for trend/mean reversion blends. See:
Heatmap mode that paints the panel based on OI RSI extremes, ideal for scanning. See:
On top of that it includes:
Aggregated OI source selection (Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, Kraken, HTX, Deribit).
Choice of OI units (COIN or USD).
Reference lines and OB/OS zones.
Extreme highlighting for either trend or mean reversion.
A vertical OI RSI meter that acts as a quick strength gauge.
Aggregated open interest source
Under the hood, the indicator builds a synthetic open interest candle by:
Looping over a list of supported exchanges: Binance, Bybit, OKX, Bitget, Kraken, HTX, Deribit.
Looping over multiple contract suffixes (such as USDT.P, USD.P, USDC.P, USD.PM) to capture different contract types on each venue.
Requesting OI candles from each venue + contract combination for the same underlying symbol.
Converting each OI stream into a common unit: In COIN mode, everything is normalized into coin-denominated OI. In USD mode, coin OI is multiplied by price to approximate notional OI.
Summing up open, high, low and close of OI across venues into a single aggregated OI candle.
If no valid OI is available for the current symbol across all sources, the script throws a clear runtime error so you know you are on an unsupported market.
This gives you a single, exchange-agnostic open interest curve instead of being tied to one venue. That aggregated OI is then passed into the RSI logic.
How the OI RSI is calculated
The RSI side is straightforward, but it is applied to the aggregated OI close:
Compute a base RSI of aggregated OI using the Calculation Period .
Apply a simple moving average of length Smoothing Period (SMA) to reduce noise in the raw OI RSI.
Optionally apply an EMA on top of the smoothed OI RSI as a moving average signal line.
Key parameters:
Calculation Period – base RSI length for OI.
Smoothing Period (SMA) – extra smoothing on the RSI value.
EMA Period – EMA length on the smoothed OI RSI.
The result is:
oi_rsi – raw RSI of aggregated OI.
oi_rsi_s – SMA-smoothed OI RSI.
ma – EMA of the smoothed OI RSI.
Thresholds and extremes
You control three core thresholds:
Mid Point – central reference level, typically 50.
Extreme Upper Threshold – high-level OI RSI edge (for example 80).
Extreme Lower Threshold – low-level OI RSI edge (for example 20).
These thresholds are used for:
Reference lines or OB/OS zone fills.
Heatmap gradient bounds.
Background highlighting of extremes.
The Extreme Highlighting mode controls how extremes are interpreted:
None – do nothing special in extreme regions.
Mean-Rev – background turns red on high OI RSI and green on low OI RSI, framing extremes as contrarian zones.
Trend – background turns green on high OI RSI and red on low OI RSI, framing extremes as participation zones aligned with the prevailing move.
Reference lines and OB/OS zones
You can choose:
None – clean plotting without guides.
Basic Reference Lines – mid, upper and lower thresholds as simple gray horizontals.
OB/OS Levels – filled zones between:
Upper OB: from the upper threshold to 100, colored with the short/overbought color.
Lower OS: from 0 to the lower threshold, colored with the long/oversold color.
These guides help visually anchor the OI RSI within "normal" versus "extreme" regions.
Plotting modes
The Plotting Type input controls how OI RSI is drawn. All modes share the same underlying OI and RSI logic, but emphasise different aspects of the signal.
1) Line mode
This is the classic oscillator representation:
Plots the smoothed OI RSI as a simple line using RSI Line Color and RSI Line Width .
Optionally plots the EMA overlay on the same panel.
Works well when you want standard RSI-style signals on leverage flows: crosses of the midline, divergences versus price, and so on.
2) Colored Line mode
In this mode:
The OI RSI is plotted as a line, but its color is dynamic.
If the smoothed OI RSI is above the mid point, it uses the Long/OB Color .
If it is below the mid point, it uses the Short/OS Color .
This creates an instant visual regime switch between "bullish positioning pressure" and "bearish positioning pressure", while retaining the feel of a traditional RSI line.
3) Oscillator mode
Oscillator mode renders OI RSI as vertical columns around the mid level:
The smoothed OI RSI is plotted as columns using plot.style_columns .
The histogram base is fixed at 50, so bars extend above and below the mid line.
Bar color is dynamic, using long or short colors depending on which side of the mid point the value sits.
This representation makes impulse and compression in OI flows more obvious. It is especially useful when you want to focus on how quickly OI RSI is expanding or contracting around its neutral level. See:
4) Flag mode
Flag mode turns OI RSI and its EMA into a two-line band with a filled area between them:
The smoothed OI RSI and its EMA are both plotted.
A fill is drawn between them.
The fill color flips between the long color and the short color depending on whether OI RSI is above or below its EMA.
Black outlines are added to both lines to make the band clear against any background.
This creates a "flag" style region where:
Green fills show OI RSI leading its EMA, suggesting positive positioning momentum.
Red fills show OI RSI trailing below its EMA, suggesting negative positioning momentum.
Crossovers of the two lines can be read as shifts in OI momentum regime.
Flag mode is useful if you want a more structural view that combines both the level and slope behaviour of OI RSI. See:
5) Heatmap mode
Heatmap mode recasts OI RSI as a single-row gradient instead of a line:
A single row at level 1 is plotted using column style.
The color is pulled from a gradient between the lower and upper thresholds: Near the lower threshold it approaches the short/oversold color and near the upper threshold it approaches the long/overbought color.
The EMA overlay and reference lines are disabled in this mode to keep the panel clean.
This is a very compact way to track OI RSI state at a glance, especially when stacking it alongside other indicators. See:
OI RSI vertical meter
Beyond the main plot, the script can draw a small "thermometer" table showing the current OI RSI position from 0 to 100:
The meter is a two-column table with a configurable number of rows.
Row colors form an inverted gradient: red at the top (100) and green at the bottom (0).
The script clamps OI RSI between 0 and 100 and maps it to a row index.
An arrow marker "▶" is drawn next to the row corresponding to the current OI RSI value.
0 and 100 labels are printed at the ends of the scale for orientation.
You control:
Show OI RSI Meter – turn the meter on or off.
OI RSI Blocks – number of vertical blocks (granularity).
OI RSI Meter Position – panel anchor (top/bottom, left/center/right).
The meter is particularly helpful if you keep the main plot in a small panel but still want an intuitive strength gauge.
How to read it as a market pressure gauge
Because this is an RSI built on aggregated open interest, its extremes and regimes speak to positioning pressure rather than price alone:
High OI RSI (near or above the upper threshold) indicates that open interest has been increasing aggressively relative to its recent history. This often coincides with crowded leverage and a buildup of directional pressure.
Low OI RSI (near or below the lower threshold) indicates aggressive de-leveraging or closing of positions, often associated with flushes, forced unwinds or post-liquidation clean-ups.
Values around the mid point indicate more balanced positioning flows.
You can combine this with price action:
Price up with rising OI RSI suggests fresh leverage joining the move, a more persistent trend.
Price up with falling OI RSI suggests shorts covering or longs taking profit, more fragile upside.
Price down with rising OI RSI suggests aggressive new shorts or levered selling.
Price down with falling OI RSI suggests de-leveraging and potential exhaustion of the move.
Trading applications
Trend confirmation on leverage flows
Use OI RSI to confirm or question a price trend:
In an uptrend, rising OI RSI with values above the mid point indicates supportive leverage flows.
In an uptrend, repeated failures to lift OI RSI above mid point or persistent weakness suggest less committed participation.
In a downtrend, strong OI RSI on the downside points to aggressive shorting.
Mean reversion in positioning
Use thresholds and the Mean-Rev highlight mode:
When OI RSI spends extended time above the upper threshold, the crowd is extended on one side. That can set up squeeze risk in the opposite direction.
When OI RSI has been pinned low, it suggests heavy de-leveraging. Once price stabilises, a re-risking phase is often not far away.
Background colours in Mean-Rev mode help visually identify these periods.
Regime mapping with plotting modes
Different plotting modes give different perspectives:
Heatmap mode for dashboard-style use where you just need to know "hot", "neutral" or "cold" on OI flows at a glance.
Oscillator mode for short term impulses and compression reads around the mid line. See:
Flag mode for blending level and trend of OI RSI into a single banded visual. See:

Here is the original script:
Parameter Free RSI [InvestorUnknown]The Parameter Free RSI (PF-RSI) is an innovative adaptation of the traditional Relative Strength Index (RSI), a widely used momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. Unlike the standard RSI, which relies on a fixed lookback period (typically 14), the PF-RSI dynamically adjusts its calculation length based on real-time market conditions. By incorporating volatility and the RSI's deviation from its midpoint (50), this indicator aims to provide a more responsive and adaptable tool for identifying overbought/oversold conditions, trend shifts, and momentum changes. This adaptability makes it particularly valuable for traders navigating diverse market environments, from trending to ranging conditions.
PF-RSI offers a suite of customizable features, including dynamic length variants, smoothing options, visualization tools, and alert conditions.
Key Features
1. Dynamic RSI Length Calculation
The cornerstone of the PF-RSI is its ability to adjust the RSI calculation period dynamically, eliminating the need for a static parameter. The length is computed using two primary factors:
Volatility: Measured via the standard deviation of past RSI values.
Distance from Midpoint: The absolute deviation of the RSI from 50, reflecting the strength of bullish or bearish momentum.
The indicator offers three variants for calculating this dynamic length, allowing users to tailor its responsiveness:
Variant I (Aggressive): Increases the length dramatically based on volatility and a nonlinear scaling of the distance from 50. Ideal for traders seeking highly sensitive signals in fast-moving markets.
Variant II (Moderate): Combines volatility with a scaled distance from 50, using a less aggressive adjustment. Strikes a balance between responsiveness and stability, suitable for most trading scenarios.
Variant III (Conservative): Applies a linear combination of volatility and raw distance from 50. Offers a stable, less reactive length adjustment for traders prioritizing consistency.
// Function that returns a dynamic RSI length based on past RSI values
// The idea is to make the RSI length adaptive using volatility (stdev) and distance from the RSI midpoint (50)
// Different "variant" options control how aggressively the length changes
parameter_free_length(free_rsi, variant) =>
len = switch variant
// Variant I: Most aggressive adaptation
// Uses standard deviation scaled by a nonlinear factor of distance from 50
// Also adds another distance-based term to increase length more dramatically
"I" => math.ceil(
ta.stdev(free_rsi, math.ceil(free_rsi)) *
math.pow(1 + (math.ceil(math.abs(50 - (free_rsi - 50))) / 100), 2)
) +
(
math.ceil(math.abs(free_rsi - 50)) *
(1 + (math.ceil(math.abs(50 - (free_rsi - 50))) / 100))
)
// Variant II: Moderate adaptation
// Adds the standard deviation and a distance-based scaling term (less nonlinear)
"II" => math.ceil(
ta.stdev(free_rsi, math.ceil(free_rsi)) +
(
math.ceil(math.abs(free_rsi - 50)) *
(1 + (math.ceil(math.abs(50 - (free_rsi - 50))) / 100))
)
)
// Variant III: Least aggressive adaptation
// Simply adds standard deviation and raw distance from 50 (linear scaling)
"III" => math.ceil(
ta.stdev(free_rsi, math.ceil(free_rsi)) +
math.ceil(math.abs(free_rsi - 50))
)
2. Smoothing Options
To refine the dynamic RSI and reduce noise, the PF-RSI provides smoothing capabilities:
Smoothing Toggle: Enable or disable smoothing of the dynamic length used for RSI.
Smoothing MA Type for RSI MA: Choose between SMA and EMA
Smoothing Length Options for RSI MA:
Full: Uses the entire calculated dynamic length.
Half: Applies half of the dynamic length for smoother output.
SQRT: Uses the square root of the dynamic length, offering a compromise between responsiveness and smoothness.
The smoothed RSI is complemented by a separate moving average (MA) of the RSI itself, further enhancing signal clarity.
3. Visualization Tools
The PF-RSI includes visualization options to help traders interpret market conditions at a glance.
Plots:
Dynamic RSI: Displayed as a white line, showing the adaptive RSI value.
RSI Moving Average: Plotted in yellow, providing a smoothed reference for trend and momentum analysis.
Dynamic Length: A secondary plot (in faint white) showing how the calculation period evolves over time.
Histogram: Represents the RSI’s position relative to 50, with color gradients.
Fill Area: The space between the RSI and its MA is filled with a gradient (green for RSI > MA, red for RSI < MA), highlighting momentum shifts.
Customizable bar colors on the price chart reflect trend and momentum:
Trend (Raw RSI): Green (RSI > 50), Red (RSI < 50).
Trend (RSI MA): Green (MA > 50), Red (MA < 50).
Trend (Raw RSI) + Momentum: Adds momentum shading (lighter green/red when RSI and MA diverge).
Trend (RSI MA) + Momentum: Similar, but based on the MA’s trend.
Momentum: Green (RSI > MA), Red (RSI < MA).
Off: Disables bar coloring.
Intrabar Updating: Optional real-time updates within each bar for enhanced responsiveness.
4. Alerts
The PF-RSI supports customizable alerts to keep traders informed of key events.
Trend Alerts:
Raw RSI: Triggers when the RSI crosses above (uptrend) or below (downtrend) 50.
RSI MA: Triggers when the moving average crosses 50.
Off: Disables trend alerts.
Momentum Alerts:
Triggers when the RSI crosses its moving average, indicating rising (RSI > MA) or declining (RSI < MA) momentum.
Alerts are fired once per bar close, with descriptive messages including the ticker symbol (e.g., " Uptrend on: AAPL").
How It Works
The PF-RSI operates in a multi-step process:
Initialization
On the first run, it calculates a standard RSI with a 14-period length to seed the dynamic calculation.
Dynamic Length Computation
Once seeded, the indicator switches to a dynamic length based on the selected variant, factoring in volatility and distance from 50.
If smoothing is enabled, the length is further refined using an SMA.
RSI Calculation
The adaptive RSI is computed using the dynamic length, ensuring it reflects current market conditions.
Moving Average
A separate MA (SMA or EMA) is applied to the RSI, with a length derived from the dynamic length (Full, Half, or SQRT).
Visualization and Alerts
The results are plotted, and alerts are triggered based on user settings.
This adaptive approach minimizes lag in fast markets and reduces false signals in choppy conditions, offering a significant edge over fixed-period RSI implementations.
Why Use PF-RSI?
The Parameter Free RSI stands out by eliminating the guesswork of selecting an RSI period. Its dynamic length adjusts to market volatility and momentum, providing timely signals without manual tweaking.
Volume Weighted RSI (VW RSI)The Volume Weighted RSI (VW RSI) is a momentum oscillator designed for TradingView, implemented in Pine Script v6, that enhances the traditional Relative Strength Index (RSI) by incorporating trading volume into its calculation. Unlike the standard RSI, which measures the speed and change of price movements based solely on price data, the VW RSI weights its analysis by volume, emphasizing price movements backed by significant trading activity. This makes the VW RSI particularly effective for identifying bullish or bearish momentum, overbought/oversold conditions, and potential trend reversals in markets where volume plays a critical role, such as stocks, forex, and cryptocurrencies.
Key Features
Volume-Weighted Momentum Calculation:
The VW RSI calculates momentum by comparing the volume associated with upward price movements (up-volume) to the volume associated with downward price movements (down-volume).
Up-volume is the volume on bars where the closing price is higher than the previous close, while down-volume is the volume on bars where the closing price is lower than the previous close.
These volumes are smoothed over a user-defined period (default: 14 bars) using a Running Moving Average (RMA), and the VW RSI is computed using the formula:
\text{VW RSI} = 100 - \frac{100}{1 + \text{VoRS}}
where
\text{VoRS} = \frac{\text{Average Up-Volume}}{\text{Average Down-Volume}}
.
Oscillator Range and Interpretation:
The VW RSI oscillates between 0 and 100, with a centerline at 50.
Above 50: Indicates bullish volume momentum, suggesting that volume on up bars dominates, which may signal buying pressure and a potential uptrend.
Below 50: Indicates bearish volume momentum, suggesting that volume on down bars dominates, which may signal selling pressure and a potential downtrend.
Overbought/Oversold Levels: User-defined thresholds (default: 70 for overbought, 30 for oversold) help identify potential reversal points:
VW RSI > 70: Overbought, indicating a possible pullback or reversal.
VW RSI < 30: Oversold, indicating a possible bounce or reversal.
Visual Elements:
VW RSI Line: Plotted in a separate pane below the price chart, colored dynamically based on its value:
Green when above 50 (bullish momentum).
Red when below 50 (bearish momentum).
Gray when at 50 (neutral).
Centerline: A dashed line at 50, optionally displayed, serving as the neutral threshold between bullish and bearish momentum.
Overbought/Oversold Lines: Dashed lines at the user-defined overbought (default: 70) and oversold (default: 30) levels, optionally displayed, to highlight extreme conditions.
Background Coloring: The background of the VW RSI pane is shaded red when the indicator is in overbought territory and green when in oversold territory, providing a quick visual cue of potential reversal zones.
Alerts:
Built-in alerts for key events:
Bullish Momentum: Triggered when the VW RSI crosses above 50, indicating a shift to bullish volume momentum.
Bearish Momentum: Triggered when the VW RSI crosses below 50, indicating a shift to bearish volume momentum.
Overbought Condition: Triggered when the VW RSI crosses above the overbought threshold (default: 70), signaling a potential pullback.
Oversold Condition: Triggered when the VW RSI crosses below the oversold threshold (default: 30), signaling a potential bounce.
Input Parameters
VW RSI Length (default: 14): The period over which the up-volume and down-volume are smoothed to calculate the VW RSI. A longer period results in smoother signals, while a shorter period increases sensitivity.
Overbought Level (default: 70): The threshold above which the VW RSI is considered overbought, indicating a potential reversal or pullback.
Oversold Level (default: 30): The threshold below which the VW RSI is considered oversold, indicating a potential reversal or bounce.
Show Centerline (default: true): Toggles the display of the 50 centerline, which separates bullish and bearish momentum zones.
Show Overbought/Oversold Lines (default: true): Toggles the display of the overbought and oversold threshold lines.
How It Works
Volume Classification:
For each bar, the indicator determines whether the price movement is upward or downward:
If the current close is higher than the previous close, the bar’s volume is classified as up-volume.
If the current close is lower than the previous close, the bar’s volume is classified as down-volume.
If the close is unchanged, both up-volume and down-volume are set to 0 for that bar.
Smoothing:
The up-volume and down-volume are smoothed using a Running Moving Average (RMA) over the specified period (default: 14 bars) to reduce noise and provide a more stable measure of volume momentum.
VW RSI Calculation:
The Volume Relative Strength (VoRS) is calculated as the ratio of smoothed up-volume to smoothed down-volume.
The VW RSI is then computed using the standard RSI formula, but with volume data instead of price changes, resulting in a value between 0 and 100.
Visualization and Alerts:
The VW RSI is plotted with dynamic coloring to reflect its momentum direction, and optional lines are drawn for the centerline and overbought/oversold levels.
Background coloring highlights overbought and oversold conditions, and alerts notify the trader of significant crossings.
Usage
Timeframe: The VW RSI can be used on any timeframe, but it is particularly effective on intraday charts (e.g., 1-hour, 4-hour) or daily charts where volume data is reliable. Shorter timeframes may require a shorter length for increased sensitivity, while longer timeframes may benefit from a longer length for smoother signals.
Markets: Best suited for markets with significant and reliable volume data, such as stocks, forex, and cryptocurrencies. It may be less effective in markets with low or inconsistent volume, such as certain futures contracts.
Trading Strategies:
Trend Confirmation:
Use the VW RSI to confirm the direction of a trend. For example, in an uptrend, look for the VW RSI to remain above 50, indicating sustained bullish volume momentum, and consider buying on pullbacks when the VW RSI dips but stays above 50.
In a downtrend, look for the VW RSI to remain below 50, indicating sustained bearish volume momentum, and consider selling on rallies when the VW RSI rises but stays below 50.
Overbought/Oversold Conditions:
When the VW RSI crosses above 70, the market may be overbought, suggesting a potential pullback or reversal. Consider taking profits on long positions or preparing for a short entry, but confirm with price action or other indicators.
When the VW RSI crosses below 30, the market may be oversold, suggesting a potential bounce or reversal. Consider entering long positions or covering shorts, but confirm with additional signals.
Divergences:
Look for divergences between the VW RSI and price to spot potential reversals. For example, if the price makes a higher high but the VW RSI makes a lower high, this bearish divergence may signal an impending downtrend.
Conversely, if the price makes a lower low but the VW RSI makes a higher low, this bullish divergence may signal an impending uptrend.
Momentum Shifts:
A crossover above 50 can signal the start of bullish momentum, making it a potential entry point for long trades.
A crossunder below 50 can signal the start of bearish momentum, making it a potential entry point for short trades or an exit for long positions.
Example
On a 4-hour SOLUSDT chart:
During an uptrend, the VW RSI might rise above 50 and stay there, confirming bullish volume momentum. If it approaches 70, it may indicate overbought conditions, as seen near a price peak of 145.08, suggesting a potential pullback.
During a downtrend, the VW RSI might fall below 50, confirming bearish volume momentum. If it drops below 30 near a price low of 141.82, it may indicate oversold conditions, suggesting a potential bounce, as seen in a slight recovery afterward.
A bullish divergence might occur if the price makes a lower low during the downtrend, but the VW RSI makes a higher low, signaling a potential reversal.
Limitations
Lagging Nature: Like the traditional RSI, the VW RSI is a lagging indicator because it relies on smoothed data (RMA). It may not react quickly to sudden price reversals, potentially missing the start of new trends.
False Signals in Ranging Markets: In choppy or ranging markets, the VW RSI may oscillate around 50, generating frequent crossovers that lead to false signals. Combining it with a trend filter (e.g., ADX) can help mitigate this.
Volume Data Dependency: The VW RSI relies on accurate volume data, which may be inconsistent or unavailable in some markets (e.g., certain forex pairs or futures contracts). In such cases, the indicator’s effectiveness may be reduced.
Overbought/Oversold in Strong Trends: During strong trends, the VW RSI can remain in overbought or oversold territory for extended periods, leading to premature exit signals. Use additional confirmation to avoid exiting too early.
Potential Improvements
Smoothing Options: Add options to use different smoothing methods (e.g., EMA, SMA) instead of RMA for the up/down volume calculations, allowing users to adjust the indicator’s responsiveness.
Divergence Detection: Include logic to detect and plot bullish/bearish divergences between the VW RSI and price, providing visual cues for potential reversals.
Customizable Colors: Allow users to customize the colors of the VW RSI line, centerline, overbought/oversold lines, and background shading.
Trend Filter: Integrate a trend strength filter (e.g., ADX > 25) to ensure signals are generated only during strong trends, reducing false signals in ranging markets.
The Volume Weighted RSI (VW RSI) is a powerful tool for traders seeking to incorporate volume into their momentum analysis, offering a unique perspective on market dynamics by emphasizing price movements backed by significant trading activity. It is best used in conjunction with other indicators and price action analysis to confirm signals and improve trading decisions.
Uptrick: FRAMA Matrix RSIUptrick: FRAMA Matrix RSI
Introduction
The Uptrick: FRAMA Matrix RSI is a momentum-based indicator that integrates the Relative Strength Index (RSI) with the Fractal Adaptive Moving Average (FRAMA). By applying FRAMA's adaptive smoothing to RSI—and further refining it with a Zero-Lag Moving Average (ZLMA)—this script creates a refined and reliable momentum oscillator. The indicator now includes enhanced divergence detection, potential reversal signals, customizable buy/sell signal options, an internal stats table, and a fully customizable bar coloring system for an enhanced visual trading experience.
Why Combine RSI with FRAMA
Traditional RSI is a well-known momentum indicator but has several limitations. It is highly sensitive to price fluctuations, often generating false signals in choppy or volatile markets. FRAMA, in contrast, adapts dynamically to price changes by adjusting its smoothing factor based on market conditions.
By integrating FRAMA into RSI calculations, this indicator reduces noise while preserving RSI's ability to track momentum, adapts to volatility by reducing lag in trending markets and smoothing out choppiness in ranging conditions, enhances trend-following capability for more reliable momentum shifts, and refines overbought and oversold signals by adjusting to the current market structure.
With the new enhancements, such as a manual alpha input, noise filtering, divergence detection, and multiple buy/sell signal options, the indicator offers even greater flexibility and precision for traders. This combination improves the standard RSI by making it more adaptive and responsive to market changes.
Originality
This indicator is unique because it applies FRAMA's adaptive smoothing technique to RSI, creating a dynamic momentum oscillator that adjusts to different market conditions. Many traditional RSI-based indicators either use fixed smoothing methods like exponential moving averages or employ basic RSI calculations without adjusting for volatility.
This script stands out by integrating several elements, including the fractal dimension-based smoothing of FRAMA to reduce noise while retaining responsiveness, the use of Zero-Lag Moving Average smoothing to enhance trend sensitivity and reduce lag, divergence detection to highlight mismatches between price action and RSI momentum, a noise filter and manual alpha option to prevent minor fluctuations from generating false signals, customizable buy/sell signal options that let traders choose between ZLMA-based or FRAMA RSI-based signals, an internal stats table displaying real-time FRAMA calculations such as fractal dimension and the adaptive alpha factor, and a fully customizable bar coloring system to visually distinguish bullish, bearish, and neutral conditions.
Features
Adaptive FRAMA RSI
The indicator applies FRAMA to RSI values, making the momentum oscillator adaptive to volatility while filtering out noise. Unlike a traditional RSI that reacts equally to all price movements, FRAMA RSI adjusts its smoothing factor based on market structure, making it more effective for identifying true momentum shifts.
Zero-Lag Moving Average (ZLMA)
A smoothing technique that minimizes lag while preserving the responsiveness of price movements. It is applied to the FRAMA RSI to further refine signals and ensure smoother trend detection.
Bullish and Bearish Threshold Crossovers
This system compares FRAMA RSI to a user-defined threshold (default is 50). When FRAMA RSI moves above the threshold, it indicates bullish momentum, while movement below signals bearish conditions. The enhanced noise filter ensures that only significant moves trigger signals.
Noise Filter and Manual Alpha
A new noise filter input prevents tiny fluctuations from triggering false signals. In addition, a manual alpha option allows traders to override the automatically computed smoothing factor with a custom value, providing extra control over the indicator’s sensitivity.
Divergence Detection
The indicator identifies divergence patterns by comparing FRAMA RSI pivots to price action. Bullish divergence occurs when price makes a lower low while FRAMA RSI makes a higher low, and bearish divergence occurs when price makes a higher high while FRAMA RSI makes a lower high. These signals can help traders anticipate potential reversals.
Reversal Signals
Labels appear on the chart when FRAMA RSI confirms classic RSI overbought (70) or oversold (30) conditions, providing visual cues for potential trend reversals.
Buy and Sell Signal Options
Traders can now choose between two signal-generation methods. ZLMA-based signals trigger when the ZLMA of FRAMA RSI crosses key overbought (70) or oversold (30) levels, while FRAMA RSI-based signals trigger when FRAMA RSI itself crosses these levels. This added flexibility allows users to tailor the indicator to their preferred trading style.
ZLMA:
FRAMA:
Customizable Alerts
Alerts notify traders when FRAMA RSI crosses key levels, divergence signals occur, reversal conditions are met, or buy/sell signals trigger. This ensures that important trading events are not missed.
Fully Customizable Bar Coloring System
Users can color bars based on different conditions, enhancing visual clarity. Bar coloring modes include: FRAMA RSI threshold (bars change color based on whether FRAMA RSI is above or below the threshold), ZLMA crossover (bars change when ZLMA crosses overbought or oversold levels), buy/sell signals (bars change when official signals trigger), divergence (bars highlight when bullish or bearish divergence is detected), and reversals (bars indicate when RSI reaches overbought or oversold conditions confirmed by FRAMA RSI). The system also remembers the last applied bar color, ensuring a smooth visual transition.
Input Parameters and Features
Core Inputs
RSI Length (default: 14) defines the period for RSI calculations.
FRAMA Lookback (default: 16) determines the length for the FRAMA smoothing function.
RSI Bull Threshold (default: 50) sets the level above which the market is considered bullish and below which it is bearish.
Noise Filter (default: 1.0) ensures that small fluctuations do not trigger false bullish or bearish signals.
Additional Features
Show Bull and Bear Alerts (default: true) enables notifications when FRAMA RSI crosses the threshold.
Enable Divergence Detection (default: false) highlights bullish and bearish divergences based on price and FRAMA RSI pivots.
Show Potential Reversal Signals (default: false) identifies overbought (70) and oversold (30) levels as possible trend reversal points.
Buy and Sell Signal Option (default: ZLMA) allows traders to choose between ZLMA-based signals or FRAMA RSI-based signals for trade entry.
ZLMA Enhancements
ZLMA Length (default: 14) determines the period for the Zero-Lag Moving Average applied to FRAMA RSI.
Visualization Options
Show Internal Stats Table (default: false) displays real-time FRAMA calculations, including fractal dimension and the adaptive alpha smoothing factor.
Show Threshold FRAMA Signals (default: false) plots buy and sell labels when FRAMA RSI crosses the threshold level.
How It Works
FRAMA Calculation
FRAMA dynamically adjusts smoothing based on the price fractal dimension. The alpha smoothing factor is derived from the fractal dimension or can be set manually to maintain responsiveness.
RSI with FRAMA Smoothing
RSI is calculated using the user-defined lookback period. FRAMA is then applied to the RSI to make it more adaptive to volatility. Optionally, ZLMA is applied to further refine the signals and reduce lag.
Bullish and Bearish Threshold Crosses
A bullish condition occurs when FRAMA RSI crosses above the threshold, while a bearish condition occurs when it falls below. The noise filter ensures that only significant trend shifts generate signals.
Buy and Sell Signal Options
Traders can choose between ZLMA crossovers or FRAMA RSI crossovers as the basis for buy and sell signals, offering flexibility in trade entry timing.
Divergence Detection
The indicator identifies divergences where price action and FRAMA RSI momentum do not align, potentially signaling upcoming reversals.
Reversal Signal Labels
When classic RSI overbought or oversold levels are confirmed by FRAMA RSI conditions, reversal labels are added on the chart to highlight potential exhaustion points.
Bar Coloring System
Bars are dynamically colored based on various conditions such as RSI thresholds, ZLMA crossovers, buy/sell signals, divergence, and reversals, allowing traders to quickly interpret market sentiment.
Alerts and Internal Stats
Customizable alerts notify traders of key events, and an optional internal stats table displays real-time calculations (fractal dimension, alpha value, and RSI values) to help users understand the underlying dynamics of the indicator.
Summary
The Uptrick: FRAMA Matrix RSI offers an enhanced approach to momentum analysis by combining RSI with adaptive FRAMA smoothing and additional layers of signal refinement. The indicator now includes adaptive RSI smoothing to reduce noise and improve responsiveness, Zero-Lag Moving Average filtering to minimize lag, divergence and reversal detection to identify potential turning points, customizable buy/sell signal options that let traders choose between different signal methodologies, a fully customizable bar coloring system to visually distinguish market conditions, and an internal stats table for real-time insight into FRAMA calculation parameters.
Whether used for trend confirmation, divergence detection, or momentum-based strategies, this indicator provides a powerful and adaptive approach to trading.

Trend and RSI Bias FusionTrend and RSI Bias Fusion Indicator
This is my first ever indicator. I created this indicator for myself. I was inspired by the indicators created by Bjorgum, Duyck and QuantTherapy and decided to create multiple indicators that either work well combined with their indicators or something new that applies some of their indicator concepts. I decided to share this because I believe in learning and earing together as a community. I will later share the rest of the indicators I have created. This is my first time ever sharing any indicator so if you guys have any questions or suggestions write them.
Overview
The "Trend and RSI Bias Fusion" indicator is a versatile tool designed to help traders identify key market trends, potential reversals, momentum shifts, and RSI-based pullbacks. This indicator fuses trend analysis and RSI bias into a single, comprehensive visual, making it easier to make informed trading decisions across various timeframes and market conditions.
Features
Dual Timeframe Analysis: Combines trend analysis on a higher timeframe (e.g., Daily) with RSI analysis on a lower timeframe (e.g., 4-Hour), providing a more granular view of market conditions. You can, however, choose any timeframe you want for instance 12hr with trend and 2hr RSI analysis.
Trend and Momentum Visualization: The indicator uses Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) to determine trend direction and colors the chart background to reflect bullish or bearish trends, along with momentum strength.
RSI Bias Detection: Automatically identifies overbought and oversold conditions using the RSI, providing a clear indication of potential market reversals or continuations.
Color-Coded Bars: Optionally color codes bars based on either trend direction or RSI bias, giving you a quick visual cue of the market's state.
Reversal Markers: Displays trend reversal markers on the chart when the short-term EMA crosses over or under the long-term EMA.
Calculation Details
Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs): The indicator calculates short-term and long-term EMAs using the closing prices.
The crossover between these EMAs is used to determine the trend direction:
Short-Term EMA: Typically a 14-period EMA.
Long-Term EMA: Typically a 50-period EMA.
Momentum: Calculated using the RSI and then centered around zero by subtracting 50. This allows the indicator to distinguish between positive and negative momentum.
RSI Bias: The RSI is calculated on a lower timeframe to detect overbought (above 60) and oversold (below 40) conditions, which are used to determine the bias:
RSI Above 60: Indicates potential overbought conditions (bearish bias).
RSI Below 40: Indicates potential oversold conditions (bullish bias).
How to Use the Indicator
Select Your Timeframes: Choose your preferred trend timeframe (e.g., Daily) and RSI timeframe (e.g., 4-2 Hour) in the indicator settings. These should match your trading strategy and the asset class you're analyzing.
Interpret Trend and Momentum
Background Color: The background color reflects the current trend direction:
Green/Lime: Uptrend, with lime indicating positive momentum.
Red/Maroon: Downtrend, with maroon indicating positive momentum within a downtrend.
Momentum Histogram: The histogram plot shows momentum, color-coded by the trend. A histogram above zero with green/lime indicates bullish momentum, while below zero with red/maroon indicates bearish momentum.
Image above: Both RSI and Trend are set to daily, uses RSI bar color
Read RSI Bias:
The RSI bias line helps identify the current market state relative to overbought or oversold levels. The RSI value is plotted on the chart, with lines at 60 and 40 to mark these levels.
When the RSI crosses above 60, it suggests a bearish bias; crossing below 40 suggests a bullish bias.
Use Reversal Markers: The indicator places small circles on the chart at points where the short-term EMA crosses the long-term EMA, signaling potential trend reversals.
Bar Color Customization:
You can choose to color the bars based on either the trend or the RSI bias in the indicator settings. In the Images below I have changed the colors to fit my personal style , Blue for uptrend and Pink for downtrend:
Trend-Based: Bars will reflect the trend direction (green for uptrend or in this case blue, red for downtrend or in this case pink).
RSI-Based: Bars will reflect RSI conditions (yellow for overbought, maroon for oversold).
Image above: RSI is set to 4hr and Trend is set to daily, uses RSI bar color
Image above: RSI is set to 4hr and Trend is set to daily, uses Trend bar color
Image above: Both RSI and Trend are set to daily, uses RSI bar color
Image above: Both RSI and Trend are set to daily, uses Trend bar color
Image above: Both RSI and Trend are set to daily, without bar color
Image above: Both RSI and Trend are set to daily, how it looks on a clean chart
Example Use Case Swing Traders:
For instance, if you're trading a 4-hour chart of USDCHF:
Set the trend timeframe to Daily and the RSI timeframe to 4-Hour.
Watch for background color shifts and reversal markers to determine trend direction.
Use RSI bias to time your entries and exits, especially around overbought/oversold levels.
Enable bar coloring to quickly see when conditions favor either trend continuation or reversal.
This indicator is particularly effective for swing traders and those who want to align their trades with higher timeframe trends while using momentum and RSI for entry and exit signals.
For Day Traders
Timeframe Selection:
Trend Timeframe: Set to a higher intraday timeframe such as the 1 or 2 Hour chart.
RSI Timeframe: Set to a shorter timeframe like 15-10 Minutes or 5-Minutes to capture finer details of intraday momentum shifts.
Using the Indicator:
Trend Identification: Day traders can use the background color to quickly identify whether the market is in a bullish or bearish trend on the 1-Hour chart. A green background suggests looking for long opportunities, while a red background suggests short opportunities.
Momentum Analysis: The histogram can help day traders gauge the strength of the current trend. For example, if the histogram is green and above zero, the trader may consider buying pullbacks within the trend.
RSI Bias: Monitor RSI levels on the lower timeframe (e.g., 15-Minutes). If the RSI crosses below 40, it indicates an oversold condition, potentially signaling a buying opportunity, especially if it aligns with a bullish trend on the higher timeframe.
Trade Execution:
Look for entries when the RSI shows a reversal or pullback in the direction of the higher timeframe trend.
Use the trend reversal markers to confirm potential intraday reversals, adding extra confidence to trade setups.
For Scalpers
Timeframe Selection:
Trend Timeframe: Set to a short intraday timeframe like 15-Minutes or 5-Minutes.
RSI Timeframe: Use an even shorter timeframe, such as 1-Minute, to capture rapid price movements.
Final Notes:
The "Trend and RSI Bias Fusion" indicator is a powerful tool that combines trend analysis, momentum assessment, and RSI insights into one cohesive package. By integrating these different aspects, the indicator helps traders navigate complex market environments with greater clarity and confidence. Customize the settings to fit your specific trading style and market and use it to stay ahead of market trends and potential reversals.

## 1. Introduction to the RSI and Moving Averages
### **1.1 Relative Strength Index (RSI)**
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum oscillator developed by J. Welles Wilder and introduced in his 1978 book "New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems." It is widely used in technical analysis to measure the speed and change of price movements.
**Purpose of RSI:**
- **Identify Overbought/Oversold Conditions:** RSI values range from 0 to 100. Traditionally, values above 70 are considered overbought, while values below 30 are considered oversold. These thresholds help traders identify potential reversal points in the market.
- **Trend Strength Measurement:** RSI also indicates the strength of a trend. High RSI values suggest strong bullish momentum, while low values indicate bearish momentum.
**Calculation of RSI:**
1. **Calculate the Average Gain and Loss:** Over a specified period (e.g., 14 days), calculate the average gain and loss.
2. **Compute the Relative Strength (RS):** RS is the ratio of average gain to average loss.
3. **RSI Formula:** RSI = 100 - (100 / (1 + RS))
### **1.2 Moving Averages (MA)**
Moving Averages are used to smooth out price data and identify trends by filtering out short-term fluctuations. Two common types are:
**Simple Moving Average (SMA):** The average of prices over a specified number of periods.
**Exponential Moving Average (EMA):** A type of moving average that gives more weight to recent prices, making it more responsive to recent price changes.
**Smoothed Moving Average (SMA):** Used to reduce the impact of volatility and provide a clearer view of the underlying trend. The RMA, or Running Moving Average, used in the USH script is similar to an EMA but based on the average of RSI values.
## 2. Detailed Breakdown of the Uptrick: RSI Histogram
### **2.1 Indicator Overview**
The Uptrick: RSI Histogram (USH) is a technical analysis tool that combines the RSI with a moving average to create a histogram that reflects momentum and trend strength.
**Key Components:**
- **RSI Calculation:** Determines the relative strength of price movements.
- **Moving Average Application:** Smooths the RSI values to provide a clearer trend indication.
- **Histogram Plotting:** Visualizes the deviation of the smoothed RSI from a neutral level.
### **2.2 Indicator Purpose**
The primary purpose of the USH is to provide a clear visual representation of the market's momentum and trend strength. It helps traders identify:
- **Bullish and Bearish Trends:** By showing how far the smoothed RSI is from the neutral 50 level.
- **Potential Reversal Points:** By highlighting changes in momentum.
### **2.3 Indicator Design**
**RSI Moving Average (RSI MA):** The RSI MA is a smoothed version of the RSI, calculated using a running moving average. This smooths out short-term fluctuations and provides a clearer indication of the underlying trend.
**Histogram Calculation:**
- **Neutral Level:** The histogram is plotted relative to the neutral level of 50. This level represents a balanced market where neither bulls nor bears have dominance.
- **Histogram Values:** The histogram bars show the difference between the RSI MA and the neutral level. Positive values indicate bullish momentum, while negative values indicate bearish momentum.
## 3. Calculation and Formula
### **3.1 RSI Calculation**
The RSI calculation involves:
1. **Average Gain and Loss:** Calculated over the specified length (e.g., 14 periods).
2. **Relative Strength (RS):** RS = Average Gain / Average Loss.
3. **RSI Formula:** RSI = 100 - (100 / (1 + RS)).
### **3.2 Moving Average Calculation**
For the USH indicator, the RSI is smoothed using a running moving average (RMA). The RMA formula is similar to that of the EMA but is based on averaging RSI values over the specified length.
### **3.3 Histogram Calculation**
The histogram value is calculated as:
- **Histogram Value = RSI MA - 50**
**Plotting the Histogram:**
- **Positive Histogram Values:** Indicate that the RSI MA is above the neutral level, suggesting bullish momentum.
- **Negative Histogram Values:** Indicate that the RSI MA is below the neutral level, suggesting bearish momentum.
## 4. Visual Representation
### **4.1 Histogram Bars**
The histogram is plotted as bars on the chart:
- **Bullish Bars:** Colored green when the RSI MA is above 50.
- **Bearish Bars:** Colored red when the RSI MA is below 50.
### **4.2 Customization Options**
Traders can customize:
- **RSI Length:** Adjust the length of the RSI calculation to match their trading style.
- **Bull and Bear Colors:** Choose colors for histogram bars to enhance visual clarity.
### **4.3 Interpretation**
**Bullish Signal:** A histogram bar that moves from red to green indicates a potential shift to a bullish trend.
**Bearish Signal:** A histogram bar that moves from green to red indicates a potential shift to a bearish trend.
## 5. Customization and User Settings
### **5.1 Adjusting RSI Length**
The length parameter determines the number of periods over which the RSI is calculated and smoothed. Shorter lengths make the RSI more sensitive to price changes, while longer lengths provide a smoother view of trends.
### **5.2 Color Settings**
Traders can adjust:
- **Bull Color:** Color of histogram bars indicating bullish momentum.
- **Bear Color:** Color of histogram bars indicating bearish momentum.
**Customization Benefits:**
- **Visual Clarity:** Traders can choose colors that stand out against their chart’s background.
- **Personal Preference:** Adjust settings to match individual trading styles and preferences.
## 6. Trading Strategies and Applications
### **6.1 Trend Following**
**Identifying Entry Points:**
- **Bullish Entry:** When the histogram changes from red to green, it signals a potential entry point for long positions.
- **Bearish Entry:** When the histogram changes from green to red, it signals a potential entry point for short positions.
**Trend Confirmation:** The histogram helps confirm the strength of a trend. Strong, consistent green bars indicate robust bullish momentum, while strong, consistent red bars indicate robust bearish momentum.
### **6.2 Swing Trading**
**Momentum Analysis:**
- **Entry Signals:** Look for significant shifts in the histogram to time entries. A shift from bearish to bullish (red to green) indicates potential for upward movement.
- **Exit Signals:** A shift from bullish to bearish (green to red) suggests a potential weakening of the trend, signaling an exit or reversal point.

Advanced Dynamic Threshold RSI [Elysian_Mind]Advanced Dynamic Threshold RSI Indicator
Overview
The Advanced Dynamic Threshold RSI Indicator is a powerful tool designed for traders seeking a unique approach to RSI-based signals. This indicator combines traditional RSI analysis with dynamic threshold calculation and optional Bollinger Bands to generate weighted buy and sell signals.
Features
Dynamic Thresholds: The indicator calculates dynamic thresholds based on market volatility, providing more adaptive signal generation.
Performance Analysis: Users can evaluate recent price performance to further refine signals. The script calculates the percentage change over a specified lookback period.
Bollinger Bands Integration: Optional integration of Bollinger Bands for additional confirmation and visualization of potential overbought or oversold conditions.
Customizable Settings: Traders can easily customize key parameters, including RSI length, SMA length, lookback bars, threshold multiplier, and Bollinger Bands parameters.
Weighted Signals: The script introduces a unique weighting mechanism for signals, reducing false positives and improving overall reliability.
Underlying Calculations and Methods
1. Dynamic Threshold Calculation:
The heart of the Advanced Dynamic Threshold RSI Indicator lies in its ability to dynamically calculate thresholds based on multiple timeframes. Let's delve into the technical details:
RSI Calculation:
For each specified timeframe (1-hour, 4-hour, 1-day, 1-week), the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is calculated using the standard 14-period formula.
SMA of RSI:
The Simple Moving Average (SMA) is applied to each RSI, resulting in the smoothing of RSI values. This smoothed RSI becomes the basis for dynamic threshold calculations.
Dynamic Adjustment:
The dynamically adjusted threshold for each timeframe is computed by adding a constant value (5 in this case) to the respective SMA of RSI. This dynamic adjustment ensures that the threshold reflects changing market conditions.
2. Weighted Signal System:
To enhance the precision of buy and sell signals, the script introduces a weighted signal system. Here's how it works technically:
Signal Weighting:
The script assigns weights to buy and sell signals based on the crossover and crossunder events between RSI and the dynamically adjusted thresholds. If a crossover event occurs, the weight is set to 2; otherwise, it remains at 1.
Signal Combination:
The weighted buy and sell signals from different timeframes are combined using logical operations. A buy signal is generated if the product of weights from all timeframes is equal to 2, indicating alignment across timeframe.
3. Experimental Enhancements:
The Advanced Dynamic Threshold RSI Indicator incorporates experimental features for educational exploration. While not intended as proven strategies, these features aim to offer users a glimpse into unconventional analysis. Some of these features include Performance Calculation, Volatility Calculation, Dynamic Threshold Calculation Using Volatility, Bollinger Bands Module, Weighted Signal System Incorporating New Features.
3.1 Performance Calculation:
The script calculates the percentage change in the price over a specified lookback period (variable lookbackBars). This provides a measure of recent performance.
pctChange(src, length) =>
change = src - src
pctChange = (change / src ) * 100
recentPerformance1H = pctChange(close, lookbackBars)
recentPerformance4H = pctChange(request.security(syminfo.tickerid, "240", close), lookbackBars)
recentPerformance1D = pctChange(request.security(syminfo.tickerid, "1D", close), lookbackBars)
3.2 Volatility Calculation:
The script computes the standard deviation of the closing price to measure volatility.
volatility1H = ta.stdev(close, 20)
volatility4H = ta.stdev(request.security(syminfo.tickerid, "240", close), 20)
volatility1D = ta.stdev(request.security(syminfo.tickerid, "1D", close), 20)
3.3 Dynamic Threshold Calculation Using Volatility:
The dynamic thresholds for RSI are calculated by adding a multiplier of volatility to 50.
dynamicThreshold1H = 50 + thresholdMultiplier * volatility1H
dynamicThreshold4H = 50 + thresholdMultiplier * volatility4H
dynamicThreshold1D = 50 + thresholdMultiplier * volatility1D
3.4 Bollinger Bands Module:
An additional module for Bollinger Bands is introduced, providing an option to enable or disable it.
// Additional Module: Bollinger Bands
bbLength = input(20, title="Bollinger Bands Length")
bbMultiplier = input(2.0, title="Bollinger Bands Multiplier")
upperBand = ta.sma(close, bbLength) + bbMultiplier * ta.stdev(close, bbLength)
lowerBand = ta.sma(close, bbLength) - bbMultiplier * ta.stdev(close, bbLength)
3.5 Weighted Signal System Incorporating New Features:
Buy and sell signals are generated based on the dynamic threshold, recent performance, and Bollinger Bands.
weightedBuySignal = rsi1H > dynamicThreshold1H and rsi4H > dynamicThreshold4H and rsi1D > dynamicThreshold1D and crossOver1H
weightedSellSignal = rsi1H < dynamicThreshold1H and rsi4H < dynamicThreshold4H and rsi1D < dynamicThreshold1D and crossUnder1H
These features collectively aim to provide users with a more comprehensive view of market dynamics by incorporating recent performance and volatility considerations into the RSI analysis. Users can experiment with these features to explore their impact on signal accuracy and overall indicator performance.
Indicator Placement for Enhanced Visibility
Overview
The design choice to position the "Advanced Dynamic Threshold RSI" indicator both on the main chart and beneath it has been carefully considered to address specific challenges related to visibility and scaling, providing users with an improved analytical experience.
Challenges Faced
1. Differing Scaling of RSI Results:
RSI values for different timeframes (1-hour, 4-hour, and 1-day) often exhibit different scales, especially in markets like gold.
Attempting to display these RSIs on the same chart can lead to visibility issues, as the scaling differences may cause certain RSI lines to appear compressed or nearly invisible.
2. Candlestick Visibility vs. RSI Scaling:
Balancing the visibility of candlestick patterns with that of RSI values posed a unique challenge.
A single pane for both candlesticks and RSIs may compromise the clarity of either, particularly when dealing with assets that exhibit distinct volatility patterns.
Design Solution
Placing the buy/sell signals above/below the candles helps to maintain a clear association between the signals and price movements.
By allocating RSIs beneath the main chart, users can better distinguish and analyze the RSI values without interference from candlestick scaling.
Doubling the scaling of the 1-hour RSI (displayed in blue) addresses visibility concerns and ensures that it remains discernible even when compared to the other two RSIs: 4-hour RSI (orange) and 1-day RSI (green).
Bollinger Bands Module is optional, but is turned on as default. When the module is turned on, the users can see the upper Bollinger Band (green) and lower Bollinger Band (red) on the main chart to gain more insight into price actions of the candles.
User Flexibility
This dual-placement approach offers users the flexibility to choose their preferred visualization:
The main chart provides a comprehensive view of buy/sell signals in relation to candlestick patterns.
The area beneath the chart accommodates a detailed examination of RSI values, each in its own timeframe, without compromising visibility.
The chosen design optimizes visibility and usability, addressing the unique challenges posed by differing RSI scales and ensuring users can make informed decisions based on both price action and RSI dynamics.

Synthetic, Smoothed Variety RSI [Loxx]Synthetic, Smoothed Variety RSI is an RSI indicator that combines three RSI calculations into one to create a synthetic RSI output.
How this is done:
1. Three EMAs are created using different period inputs
2. Three RSIs are created using different period inputs and the EMA output from the first step
3. These three RSIs are averaged to create the Synthetic, Smoothed Variety RSI
This indicator contains 7 different types of RSI:
RSX
Regular
Slow
Rapid
Harris
Cuttler
Ehlers Smoothed
What is RSI?
RSI stands for Relative Strength Index . It is a technical indicator used to measure the strength or weakness of a financial instrument's price action.
The RSI is calculated based on the price movement of an asset over a specified period of time, typically 14 days, and is expressed on a scale of 0 to 100. The RSI is considered overbought when it is above 70 and oversold when it is below 30.
Traders and investors use the RSI to identify potential buy and sell signals. When the RSI indicates that an asset is oversold, it may be considered a buying opportunity, while an overbought RSI may signal that it is time to sell or take profits.
It's important to note that the RSI should not be used in isolation and should be used in conjunction with other technical and fundamental analysis tools to make informed trading decisions.
What is RSX?
Jurik RSX is a technical analysis indicator that is a variation of the Relative Strength Index Smoothed ( RSX ) indicator. It was developed by Mark Jurik and is designed to help traders identify trends and momentum in the market.
The Jurik RSX uses a combination of the RSX indicator and an adaptive moving average (AMA) to smooth out the price data and reduce the number of false signals. The adaptive moving average is designed to adjust the smoothing period based on the current market conditions, which makes the indicator more responsive to changes in price.
The Jurik RSX can be used to identify potential trend reversals and momentum shifts in the market. It oscillates between 0 and 100, with values above 50 indicating a bullish trend and values below 50 indicating a bearish trend . Traders can use these levels to make trading decisions, such as buying when the indicator crosses above 50 and selling when it crosses below 50.
The Jurik RSX is a more advanced version of the RSX indicator, and while it can be useful in identifying potential trade opportunities, it should not be used in isolation. It is best used in conjunction with other technical and fundamental analysis tools to make informed trading decisions.
What is Slow RSI?
Slow RSI is a variation of the traditional Relative Strength Index ( RSI ) indicator. It is a more smoothed version of the RSI and is designed to filter out some of the noise and short-term price fluctuations that can occur with the standard RSI .
The Slow RSI uses a longer period of time than the traditional RSI , typically 21 periods instead of 14. This longer period helps to smooth out the price data and makes the indicator less reactive to short-term price fluctuations.
Like the traditional RSI , the Slow RSI is used to identify potential overbought and oversold conditions in the market. It oscillates between 0 and 100, with values above 70 indicating overbought conditions and values below 30 indicating oversold conditions. Traders often use these levels as potential buy and sell signals.
The Slow RSI is a more conservative version of the RSI and can be useful in identifying longer-term trends in the market. However, it can also be slower to respond to changes in price, which may result in missed trading opportunities. Traders may choose to use a combination of both the Slow RSI and the traditional RSI to make informed trading decisions.
What is Rapid RSI?
Same as regular RSI but with a faster calculation method
What is Harris RSI?
Harris RSI is a technical analysis indicator that is a variation of the Relative Strength Index ( RSI ). It was developed by Larry Harris and is designed to help traders identify potential trend changes and momentum shifts in the market.
The Harris RSI uses a different calculation formula compared to the traditional RSI . It takes into account both the opening and closing prices of a financial instrument, as well as the high and low prices. The Harris RSI is also normalized to a range of 0 to 100, with values above 50 indicating a bullish trend and values below 50 indicating a bearish trend .
Like the traditional RSI , the Harris RSI is used to identify potential overbought and oversold conditions in the market. It oscillates between 0 and 100, with values above 70 indicating overbought conditions and values below 30 indicating oversold conditions. Traders often use these levels as potential buy and sell signals.
The Harris RSI is a more advanced version of the RSI and can be useful in identifying longer-term trends in the market. However, it can also generate more false signals than the standard RSI . Traders may choose to use a combination of both the Harris RSI and the traditional RSI to make informed trading decisions.
What is Cuttler RSI?
Cuttler RSI is a technical analysis indicator that is a variation of the Relative Strength Index ( RSI ). It was developed by Curt Cuttler and is designed to help traders identify potential trend changes and momentum shifts in the market.
The Cuttler RSI uses a different calculation formula compared to the traditional RSI . It takes into account the difference between the closing price of a financial instrument and the average of the high and low prices over a specified period of time. This difference is then normalized to a range of 0 to 100, with values above 50 indicating a bullish trend and values below 50 indicating a bearish trend .
Like the traditional RSI , the Cuttler RSI is used to identify potential overbought and oversold conditions in the market. It oscillates between 0 and 100, with values above 70 indicating overbought conditions and values below 30 indicating oversold conditions. Traders often use these levels as potential buy and sell signals.
The Cuttler RSI is a more advanced version of the RSI and can be useful in identifying longer-term trends in the market. However, it can also generate more false signals than the standard RSI . Traders may choose to use a combination of both the Cuttler RSI and the traditional RSI to make informed trading decisions.
What is Ehlers Smoothed RSI?
Ehlers smoothed RSI is a technical analysis indicator that is a variation of the Relative Strength Index ( RSI ). It was developed by John Ehlers and is designed to help traders identify potential trend changes and momentum shifts in the market.
The Ehlers smoothed RSI uses a different calculation formula compared to the traditional RSI . It uses a smoothing algorithm that is designed to reduce the noise and random fluctuations that can occur with the standard RSI . The smoothing algorithm is based on a concept called "digital signal processing" and is intended to improve the accuracy of the indicator.
Like the traditional RSI , the Ehlers smoothed RSI is used to identify potential overbought and oversold conditions in the market. It oscillates between 0 and 100, with values above 70 indicating overbought conditions and values below 30 indicating oversold conditions. Traders often use these levels as potential buy and sell signals.
The Ehlers smoothed RSI can be useful in identifying longer-term trends and momentum shifts in the market. However, it can also generate more false signals than the standard RSI . Traders may choose to use a combination of both the Ehlers smoothed RSI and the traditional RSI to make informed trading decisions.

MTF RSI — Centered at Zero# 🌟 **MTF RSI — Centered at Zero（英語版 Description）**
**A multi–timeframe RSI tool designed for trend-filtered entries and safer reversal timing.
This script transforms both the current timeframe RSI and the 4H RSI by centering them at zero (RSI − 50), giving a clean, intuitive regime view.**
---
## 🔍 **Core Concept**
Traditional RSI fluctuates between 0–100, but the true trend cue lies in the relationship to 50.
By centering RSI at zero, you instantly see:
* **Above 0 → bullish pressure**
* **Below 0 → bearish pressure**
On top of this, the script plots the **4H RSI as a histogram**, allowing you to visually confirm whether the market is in a BUY-ONLY or SELL-ONLY environment before taking any signals.
---
## 🎯 **What This Script Helps You Do**
* Avoid dangerous counter-trend trades
* Identify high-quality reversal points only when aligned with the 4H trend
* Enter pullbacks or bounces with noticeably higher accuracy
* Visually detect regime strength and extreme conditions (RSI >70 / <30)
Even during aggressive trending markets, the combined filter
**(4H regime + local RSI extreme + initial reversal signal)**
keeps you only in high-probability opportunities.
---
## 💡 **Color Logic**
### Vertical stripe (per-bar):
* 🔴 **Overbought (RSI >70)** — red / pink
* 🔵 **Oversold (RSI <30)** — blue
* Colors become stronger when the 4H and current RSI extremes align
* Option to show history or only the most recent bar
### Histogram (4H RSI – 50):
* Pink column above 0 → bullish bias
* Blue column below 0 → bearish bias
### Pivot Signals:
* 🟠 **Buy Signal**: RSI crosses up from local weakness *AND* 4H is BUY-ONLY
* 🔴 **Sell Signal**: RSI crosses down from local strength *AND* 4H is SELL-ONLY
These signals often align with classical **Granville #4 / #8** (deep pullback reversals).
---
## ⏱️ **Timeframe Usage**
Works well on:
* **5m** for active traders
* **15m** for conservative entries
* **1H** for swing confirmation
All of them rely on the same principle:
**“Let the 4H trend guide the direction, and take only high-probability reversals.”**
---
## 🚀 **Best Use Case**
Enter only when:
1. 4H histogram clearly shows BUY-ONLY or SELL-ONLY
2. Local RSI hits extreme zones
3. A bounce or breakdown occurs
4. Your stop-loss is clearly defined beneath the reversal structure
This combination creates consistently **small losses, larger wins** —
ideal for systematic short-term trading.

“相場が上に傾いているのか / 下に傾いているのか” を一瞬で判別できる、
マルチタイムフレーム対応のRSIトレンド・フィルタースクリプトです。**
---
## 🔍 **スクリプトの核心**
RSIの本質は「50を境に強弱が決まる」ことにあります。
そこで **RSI − 50** を使い、
* **0より上 → 上昇バイアス**
* **0より下 → 下降バイアス**
となるように変換しています。
4時間足RSIも同様にゼロ基準でヒストグラム化するため、
**いま市場の“支配方向（BUY ONLY / SELL ONLY）”がひと目で分かる仕様** にしています。
---
## 🎯 **このスクリプトが解決する課題**
* トレンドに逆らった“危険な逆張り”を避けられる
* 4時間足トレンドと一致したときだけ反転シグナルが出る
* 押し目買い・戻り売りの精度が高まる
* 極端ゾーン（RSI >70 / <30）を自動で縦ストライプ表示
特に、
**4時間足のトレンド + 極端ゾーン + 初動シグナル（RSI反転）**
のセットアップは実戦での成功率が非常に高いです。
---
## 🎨 **カラーの意味**
### ◆ 縦ストライプ（バー単位）
* 🔴 RSI > 70 → オーバーボート（赤/ピンク）
* 🔵 RSI < 30 → オーバーソールド（青）
* 4Hも同方向の極端であれば濃く表示
* 「過去の塗りを消すモード」搭載（今バーのみ表示）
### ◆ 4時間足ヒストグラム（RSI − 50）
* ピンク：上昇圧力（BUY ONLY に近い）
* 青：下降圧力（SELL ONLY に近い）
### ◆ 反転シグナル
* 🟠 BUY：RSIが弱い領域から上抜け + 4H BUY ONLY
* 🔴 SELL：RSIが強すぎる領域から下抜け + 4H SELL ONLY
これはグランビルの4番/8番（深い押し・戻りの反転）にも一致します。
---
## 🕒 **推奨タイムフレーム**
* 5分足：素早くエントリーしたい人
* 15分足：最も安定
* 1時間足：ゆったり目線のスイング向け
---
## 🚀 **ベストな使い方**
以下の条件が揃ったとき、統計的に最も強いエントリーになります：
1. 4時間足RSIヒストグラムが BUY ONLY / SELL ONLY
2. 15分足RSIが極端ゾーンに到達
3. 反転初動のシグナルが点灯
4. 損切りラインが構築できている

これにより、**損小利大でブレの少ないトレード** が可能になります。
Logit RSI [AdaptiveRSI]The traditional 0–100 RSI scale makes statistical overlays, such as Bollinger Bands or even moving averages, technically invalid. This script solves this issue by placing RSI on an unbounded, continuous scale, enabling these tools to work as intended.
The Logit function takes bounded data, such as RSI values ranging from 0 to 100, and maps them onto an unbounded scale ranging from negative infinity (−∞) to positive infinity (+∞).
An RSI reading of 50 becomes 0 on the Logit scale, indicating a balanced market. Readings above 50 map to positive Logit values (price above Wilder’s EMA / RSI above 50), while readings below 50 map to negative values (price below Wilder’s EMA / RSI below 50).
For the detailed formula, which calculates RSI as a scaled distance from Wilder’s EMA, check the RSI
: alternative derivation script.
The main issue with the 0–100 RSI scale is that different lookback periods produce very different distributions of RSI values. The histograms below illustrate how often RSIs of various lengths spend time within each 5-point range.
On RSI(2), the tallest bars appear at the edges (0–5 and 95–100), meaning short-term RSI spends most of its time at the extremes. For longer lookbacks, the bars cluster around the center and rarely reach 70 or 30.
This behavior makes it difficult to generalize the two most common RSI techniques:
Fixed 70/30 thresholds: These overbought and oversold levels only make sense for short- or mid-range lookbacks (around the low teens). For very short periods, RSI spends most of its time above or below these levels, while for long-term lookbacks, RSI rarely reaches them.
Bollinger Bands (±2 standard deviations): When applied directly to RSI, the bands often extend beyond the 0–100 limits (especially for short-term lookbacks) making them mathematically invalid. While the issue is less visible on longer settings, it remains conceptually incorrect.
To address this, we apply the Logit Transform :
Logit RSI = LN(RSI / (100 − RSI))
The transformed data fits a smooth bell-shaped curve, allowing statistical tools like Bollinger Bands to function properly for the first time.
Why Logit RSI Matters:
Makes RSI statistically consistent across all lookback periods.
Greatly improves the visual clarity of short-term RSIs
Allows proper use of volatility tools (like Bollinger Bands) on RSI.
Replaces arbitrary 70/30 levels with data-driven thresholds.
Simplifies RSI interpretation for both short- and long-term analysis.
INPUTS:
RSI Length — set the RSI lookback period used in calculations.
RSI Type — choose between Regular RSI or Logit RSI .
Plot Bollinger Bands — ON/OFF toggle to overlay statistical envelopes around RSI or Logit RSI.
SMA and Standard Deviation Length — defines the lookback period for both the SMA (Bollinger Bands midline) and Standard Deviation calculations.
Standard Deviation Multiplier — controls the width of the Bollinger Bands (e.g., 2.0 for ±2σ).
While simple, the Logit transformation represents an unexplored yet powerful mathematically grounded improvement to the classic RSI.
It offers traders a structured, intuitive, and statistically consistent way to use RSI across all timeframes.

Enhanced Holt-Winters RSI [BOSWaves]Enhanced Holt-Winters RSI – Next-Level Momentum Smoothing & Signal Precision
Overview
The Enhanced Holt-Winters RSI transforms the classic Relative Strength Index into a robust, lag-minimized momentum oscillator through Holt-Winters triple exponential smoothing. By modeling the level, trend, and cyclical behavior of the RSI series, this indicator delivers smoother, more responsive signals that highlight overbought/oversold conditions, momentum shifts, and high-conviction trading setups without cluttering the chart with noise.
Unlike traditional RSI, which reacts to historical data and produces frequent whipsaws, the Enhanced Holt-Winters RSI filters transient price fluctuations, enabling traders to detect emerging momentum and potential reversal zones earlier.
Theoretical Foundation
The traditional RSI measures relative strength by comparing average gains and losses, but suffers from:
Lag in trend recognition : Signals often arrive after momentum has shifted.
Noise sensitivity : High-frequency price movements generate unreliable crossovers.
Limited insight into structural market shifts : Standard RSI cannot contextualize cyclical or momentum patterns.
The Enhanced Holt-Winters RSI addresses these limitations by applying triple exponential smoothing directly to the RSI series. This decomposes the series into:
Level (Lₜ) : Represents the smoothed central tendency of RSI.
Trend (Tₜ) : Captures rate-of-change in smoothed momentum.
Seasonal Component (Sₜ) : Models short-term cyclical deviations in momentum.
By incorporating these elements, the oscillator produces smoothed RSI values that react faster to emerging trends while suppressing erratic noise. Its internal forecast is mathematical, influencing the smoothed RSI output and signals, rather than being directly plotted.
How It Works
The Enhanced Holt-Winters RSI builds its signal framework through several layers:
1. Base RSI Calculation
Computes standard RSI over the selected period as the primary momentum input.
2. Triple Exponential Smoothing (Holt-Winters)
The RSI is smoothed recursively to extract underlying momentum structure:
Level, trend, and seasonal components are combined to produce a smoothed RSI.
This internal smoothing reduces lag and enhances signal reliability.
3. Momentum Analysis
Short-term momentum shifts are tracked via a moving average of the smoothed RSI, highlighting acceleration or deceleration in directional strength.
4. Volume Confirmation (Optional)
Buy/sell signals can be filtered through a configurable volume threshold, ensuring only high-conviction moves trigger alerts.
5. Visual Output
Colored Candles : Represent overbought (red), oversold (green), or neutral (yellow) conditions.
Oscillator Panel : Plots the smoothed RSI with dynamic color coding for immediate trend context.
Signals : Triangular markers indicate bullish or bearish setups, with stronger signals flagged in extreme zones.
Interpretation
The Enhanced Holt-Winters RSI provides a multi-dimensional perspective on price action:
Trend Strength : Smoothed RSI slope and color coding reflect the direction and momentum intensity.
Momentum Shifts : Rapid changes in the smoothed RSI indicate emerging strength or weakness.
Overbought/Oversold Zones : Highlight areas where price is stretched relative to recent momentum.
High-Conviction Signals : Combined with volume filtering, markers indicate optimal entries/exits.
Cycle Awareness : Smoothing reveals structural patterns, helping traders avoid reacting to noise.
By combining these elements, traders gain early insight into market structure and momentum without relying on raw, lag-prone RSI data.
Strategy Integration
The Enhanced Holt-Winters RSI can be applied across trading styles:
Trend Following
Enter when RSI is aligned with price momentum and color-coded signals confirm trend direction.
Strong slope in the smoothed RSI signals trend continuation.
Reversal Trading
Look for RSI extremes with momentum shifts and strong signal markers.
Compression in oscillator values often precedes reversal setups.
Breakout Detection
Oscillator flattening in neutral zones followed by directional expansion indicates potential breakout conditions.
Multi-Timeframe Confluence
Higher timeframes provide directional bias; lower timeframes refine entry timing using smoothed RSI dynamics.
Technical Implementation Details
Input Source : Close, open, high, low, or price.
Smoothing : Holt-Winters triple exponential smoothing applied to RSI.
Parameters :
Level (α) : Controls smoothing of RSI.
Trend (β) : Adjusts responsiveness to momentum changes.
Seasonal Length : Defines cycles for short-term adjustments.
Delta Smoothing : Reduces choppiness in smoothed RSI difference.
Outputs :
Smoothed RSI
Colored candles and oscillator panel
Buy/Sell signal markers (with optional strength filtering)
Volume Filtering : Optional threshold to confirm signals.
Optimal Application Parameters
Asset-Specific Guidance:
Forex : Use moderate smoothing (α, β) to capture medium-term momentum swings while filtering minor price noise. Works best when combined with volume or volatility filters.
Equities : Balance responsiveness and smoothness to identify sustained sector momentum or rotational shifts; ideal for capturing clean directional transitions.
Cryptocurrency : Increase smoothing parameters slightly to stabilize RSI during extreme volatility; optional volume confirmation can help filter false signals.
Futures/Indices : Lower smoothing sensitivity emphasizes macro momentum and structural trend durability over short-term fluctuations.
Timeframe Optimization:
Scalping (1-5m) : Use higher sensitivity (lower smoothing factors) to react quickly to micro-momentum reversals.
Intraday (15m-1h) : Balance smoothing and responsiveness for detecting short-term acceleration and exhaustion zones.
Swing (4h-Daily) : Apply moderate smoothing to reveal underlying directional persistence and cyclical reversals.
Position (Daily-Weekly) : Use stronger smoothing to isolate dominant momentum trends and filter temporary pullbacks.
Integration Guidelines
Combine with trend filters (EMAs, SuperSmoother MA, ATR-based tools) for confirmation.
Use volume and signal strength markers to filter low-conviction trades.
Slope, color, and signal alignment can guide entry, stop placement, and scaling.

MULTI-CONDITION RSI SIGNAL GENERATOR═══════════════════════════════════════════════
MULTI-CONDITION RSI SIGNAL GENERATOR
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
OVERVIEW:
This indicator generates trading signals based on Relative Strength Index (RSI) movements with multiple confirmation layers designed to filter false signals and identify high-probability reversal opportunities.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
WHAT MAKES THIS ORIGINAL:
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
Unlike basic RSI indicators that simply plot overbought/oversold crossovers, this system combines FOUR distinct confirmation mechanisms:
1. PERSISTENCE FILTERING - Requires RSI to remain in extreme zones for a minimum duration
2. LOOKBACK VALIDATION - Verifies recent extreme zone visits before signaling
3. DIVERGENCE DETECTION - Identifies price/RSI divergence for stronger signals
4. MOMENTUM CONFIRMATION - Provides trend-continuation entries via midline crosses
This multi-layered approach significantly reduces whipsaw trades that plague simple RSI crossover systems.
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
HOW IT WORKS (TECHNICAL METHODOLOGY):
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
STEP 1: RSI CALCULATION
- Standard RSI calculation using user-defined period (default: 14)
- Monitors two extreme zones: Overbought (default: 70) and Oversold (default: 30)
STEP 2: PERSISTENCE FILTERING
The script counts how many bars RSI has spent in extreme zones within the lookback period:
- For overbought signals: Counts bars where RSI > 70
- For oversold signals: Counts bars where RSI < 30
- Signal only triggers if count >= Minimum Duration (default: 4 bars)
This filters out brief spikes that immediately reverse, focusing on sustained extreme conditions that are more likely to lead to genuine reversals.
STEP 3: LOOKBACK VALIDATION
- Checks if RSI reached extreme zones within the Lookback Bars period (default: 20)
- Uses ta.highest() and ta.lowest() functions to verify recent extremes
- Ensures we're trading reversals from meaningful extremes, not random crossovers
STEP 4: BASIC SIGNAL GENERATION
- BUY SIGNAL: RSI crosses above the oversold level (30) after meeting persistence and lookback conditions
- SELL SIGNAL: RSI crosses below the overbought level (70) after meeting persistence and lookback conditions
STEP 5: DIVERGENCE DETECTION
The script identifies two types of divergence over the Divergence Lookback period (default: 5 bars):
A) BULLISH DIVERGENCE (indicates potential upward reversal):
- Price makes a lower low (current low < previous low)
- RSI makes a higher low (current RSI low > previous RSI low)
- Suggests weakening downward momentum
B) BEARISH DIVERGENCE (indicates potential downward reversal):
- Price makes a higher high (current high > previous high)
- RSI makes a lower high (current RSI high < previous RSI high)
- Suggests weakening upward momentum
STEP 6: STRONG SIGNAL CONFIRMATION
- STRONG BUY: Basic buy signal + bullish divergence present
- STRONG SELL: Basic sell signal + bearish divergence present
- These represent the highest-probability setups
STEP 7: MOMENTUM SIGNALS (OPTIONAL)
- MOMENTUM BUY: RSI crosses above 50 after being oversold (trend continuation)
- MOMENTUM SELL: RSI crosses below 50 after being overbought (trend continuation)
- Smaller signals for traders who want trend-following entries
═══════════════════════════════════════════════

═══════════════════════════════════════════════
PARAMETER SETTINGS:
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
1. OVERBOUGHT LEVEL (default: 70, range: 50-90)
- Higher values = fewer but stronger overbought signals
- Lower values = more sensitive to overbought conditions

2. OVERSOLD LEVEL (default: 30, range: 10-50)
- Lower values = fewer but stronger oversold signals
- Higher values = more sensitive to oversold conditions
- Recommended: 30 for standard markets, 20 for crypto/volatile assets
3. RSI PERIOD (default: 14, range: 2-50)
- Standard RSI calculation period
- Lower = more sensitive/faster signals
- Higher = smoother/slower signals
- Recommended: 14 (industry standard)
4. MINIMUM DURATION (default: 4, range: 1-20)
- Required bars in extreme zone before signal
- Higher values = fewer signals but better quality
- Lower values = more signals but more false positives
- Recommended: 3-5 for day trading, 5-10 for swing trading
5. LOOKBACK BARS (default: 20, range: 5-100)
- How far back to check for extreme zone visits
- Should match your typical trading timeframe
- Recommended: 20 for intraday, 50 for daily charts
6. DIVERGENCE LOOKBACK (default: 5, range: 2-20)
- Period for comparing price/RSI highs and lows
- Lower values = more frequent divergence signals
- Higher values = more significant divergences
- Recommended: 5-10 depending on timeframe
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
HOW TO USE THIS INDICATOR:
═══════════════════════════════════════════════
RECOMMENDED TRADING APPROACH:
1. PRIMARY ENTRIES: Focus on Strong Buy/Sell signals (blue/purple triangles)
- These have the highest win rate due to divergence confirmation
- Wait for price action confirmation (support/resistance, candlestick patterns)
2. SECONDARY ENTRIES: Regular Buy/Sell signals (green/red triangles)
- Use these when Strong signals are infrequent
- Require additional confirmation from other indicators or chart patterns
3. TREND CONTINUATION: Momentum signals (small circles)
- Best used when overall trend is clear
- Not recommended for reversal trading
4. FILTER TRADES: Use background shading as context
- Be cautious entering longs when background is red (overbought)
- Be cautious entering shorts when background is green (oversold)
RISK MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES:
- Never risk more than 2-5% of capital per trade
- Use stop losses below recent swing lows (buys) or above swing highs (sells)
- Target at least 1.5:1 reward-to-risk ratio
- Consider position sizing based on signal strength
TIMEFRAME RECOMMENDATIONS:
- 15min - 1hour: Day trading with adjusted parameters (lower minimum duration)
- 4hour - Daily: Swing trading with default parameters
- Weekly: Position trading with increased lookback periods
COMPLEMENTARY TOOLS:
This indicator works best when combined with:
- Support and resistance levels
- Trend indicators (moving averages, trend lines)
- Volume analysis
- Price action patterns (engulfing candles, pin bars)

Tracks RSI Momentum Loss and Gain to Generate Signals
-------------------------------------------------------
WHAT THIS INDICATOR CALCULATES
This indicator attempts to identify RSI directional changes (RSI momentum) using a step-by-step "ladder" method. It reads RSI(14) from the next higher timeframe relative to your chart. On a 15-minute chart, it uses 1-hour RSI. On a 5-minute chart, it uses 15-minute RSI, and so on.
How the ladder logic works:
The indicator doesn't track RSI all the time. It only starts tracking when RSI crosses into potentially extreme territory (these are called "events" in the code):
For sell signals : when RSI crosses above a dynamic upper threshold (typically between 60-80, calculated as the 90th percentile of recent RSI)
For buy signals : when RSI crosses below a dynamic lower threshold (typically between 20-40, calculated as the 10th percentile of recent RSI)
Once tracking begins, RSI movement is divided into 2-point steps (boxes). The indicator counts how many boxes RSI climbs or falls.
A signal generates only when:
RSI reverses direction by at least 2 boxes (4 RSI points) from its extreme
RSI holds that reversal for 3 consecutive confirmed bars
Example: Dynamic threshold is at 68. RSI crosses above 68 → tracking starts. RSI climbs to 76 (4 boxes up). Then it drops back to 72 and stays below that level for 3 bars → sell signal prints. The buy signal works the same way in reverse.
-------------------------------------------------------
SIGNAL GENERATION METHODOLOGY
Sell Signal (Red Triangle)
RSI crosses above a dynamic start level (calculated as the 90th percentile of the last 1000 bars, constrained between 60-80)
Indicator tracks upward progression in 2-point boxes
RSI reverses and drops below a boundary 2 boxes below the highest box reached
RSI remains below that boundary for 3 confirmed bars
Red triangle plots above price
Reset condition: RSI returns below 50
Buy Signal (Green Triangle)
RSI crosses below a dynamic start level (10th percentile of last 1000 bars, constrained between 20-40)
Indicator tracks downward progression in 2-point boxes
RSI reverses and rises above a boundary 2 boxes above the lowest box reached
RSI remains above that boundary for 3 confirmed bars
Green triangle plots below price
Reset condition: RSI returns above 50
-------------------------------------------------------
TECHNICAL PARAMETERS
All parameters are hardcoded:
RSI Period: 14
Box Size: 2 RSI points
Reversal Threshold: 2 boxes (4 RSI points)
Confirmation Period: 3 bars
Reset Level: RSI 50
Sell Start Range: 60-80 (dynamic)
Buy Start Range: 20-40 (dynamic)
Lookback for Percentile: 1000 bars
Note: Since the code is open source, users can modify these hardcoded values directly in the script to adjust sensitivity. For example, increasing the confirmation period from 3 to 5 bars will produce fewer but more conservative signals. Decreasing the box size from 2 to 1 will make the indicator more responsive to smaller RSI movements.
-------------------------------------------------------
KEY FEATURES
Automatic Higher Timeframe RSI
When applied to a 15-minute chart, the indicator automatically reads 1-hour RSI data. This is the next standard timeframe above 15 minutes in the indicator's logic.
Dynamic Adaptive Start Levels
Sell signals use the 90th percentile of RSI over the last 1000 bars, constrained between 60-80. Buy signals use the 10th percentile, constrained between 20-40. These thresholds recalculate on each bar based on recent data.
Ladder Box System
RSI movements are tracked in 2-point boxes. The indicator requires a 2-box reversal followed by 3 consecutive bars maintaining that reversal before generating a signal.
Dual Signal Output
Red down-triangles plot above price when the sell signal conditions are met. Green up-triangles plot below the price when buy signal conditions are met.
-------------------------------------------------------
REPAINTING
This indicator does not repaint. All calculations use "barstate.isconfirmed" to ensure signals appear only on closed bars. The request.security() call uses lookahead=barmerge.lookahead_off to prevent forward-looking bias.
-------------------------------------------------------
INTENDED CHART TIMEFRAME
This indicator is designed for use on 15-minute charts. The visual reminder table at the top of the chart indicates this requirement.
On a 15-minute chart:
RSI data comes from the 1-hour timeframe
Signals reflect 1-hour momentum shifts
3-bar confirmation equals 45 minutes of price action
Using it on other timeframes will change the higher timeframe RSI source and may produce different behavior.
-------------------------------------------------------
WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOES NOT DO
Does not predict future price movements
Does not provide entry or exit advice
Does not guarantee profitable trades
Does not replace comprehensive technical analysis
Does not account for fundamental factors, news events, or market structure
Does not adapt to all market conditions equally
-------------------------------------------------------
EDUCATIONAL USE
This indicator demonstrates one approach to momentum reversal detection using:
Multi-timeframe analysis
Adaptive thresholds via percentile calculation
Step-wise momentum tracking
Multi-bar confirmation logic
It is designed as a technical study, not a trading system. Signals represent calculated conditions based on RSI behavior, not trade recommendations. Always do your own analysis before taking market positions.

Synthetic Point & Figure on RSIHere is a detailed description and user guide for the Synthetic Point & Figure RSI indicator, including how to use it for long and short trade considerations:
*
## Synthetic Point & Figure RSI Indicator – User Guide
### What It Is
This indicator applies classic Point & Figure (P&F) charting logic to the Relative Strength Index (RSI) instead of price. It transforms the RSI into synthetic “P&F candles” that filter out noise and highlight significant momentum moves and reversals based on configurable box size and reversal settings.
### How It Works
- The RSI is calculated normally over the selected length.
- The P&F engine tracks movements in the RSI above or below a defined “box size,” creating columns that switch direction only after a larger reversal.
- The synthetic candles connect these filtered RSI values visually, reducing false noise and emphasizing strong RSI trends.
- Optional EMA and SMA overlays on the synthetic P&F RSI allow smoother trend signals.
- Reference RSI levels at 33, 40, 50, 60, and 66 provide further context for momentum strength.
### How to Use for Trading
#### Long (Buy) Considerations
- The synthetic P&F RSI candle direction flips to *up (green candles)* indicating strength in momentum.
- Look for the RSI P&F value moving above the *40 or 50 level*, suggesting increasing bullish momentum.
- Confirmation is stronger if the synthetic RSI is above the EMA or SMA overlays.
- Ideal entries are after a reversal from a synthetic P&F downtrend (red candles) to an uptrend (green candles) near or above these levels.
#### Short (Sell) Considerations
- The candle direction flips to *down (red candles)*, showing weakening momentum or bearish reversal.
- Monitor if the synthetic RSI falls below the *60 or 50 level*, signaling momentum loss.
- Confirm bearish bias if the price is below the EMA or SMA overlays.
- Exit or short positions are signaled when the synthetic candle reverses from green to red near or below these threshold levels.
### Important RSI Levels to Watch
- *Level 33*: Lower bound indicating deep oversold conditions.
- *Level 40*: Early bullish zone suggesting momentum improvement.
- *Level 50*: Neutral midpoint; crossing above often signals bullish strength, below signals weakness.
- *Level 60*: Advanced bullish momentum; breaking below signals potential reversal.
- *Level 66*: Strong overbought area warning of possible pullback.
### Tips
- Use in conjunction with price action analysis and other volume/trend indicators for higher conviction.
- Adjust box size and reversal settings based on instrument volatility and timeframe for ideal filtering.
- The P&F RSI is best for identifying sustained momentum trends and avoiding false RSI whipsaws.
- Combine this indicator’s signals with stop-loss and risk management strategies.
*
This indicator converts RSI momentum analysis into a simplified, noise-filtered P&F chart format, helping traders better visualize and trade momentum shifts. It is especially useful when RSI signal noise can cause confusion in volatile markets.

TRAPPER TRENDLINES — RSIBuilds dynamic RSI trendlines by connecting the two most recent confirmed RSI swing points (highs→highs for resistance, lows→lows for support). Includes optional channel shading for the 30–70 zone, an RSI moving average, clean break alerts, and simple bullish/bearish divergence alerts versus price.
How it works
RSI pivots: A point on RSI is a swing high/low only if it is the most extreme value compared with a set number of bars on the left and the right (the Pivot Lookback).
RSI trendlines:
Resistance connects the last two confirmed RSI swing highs.
Support connects the last two confirmed RSI swing lows.
Lines can be Full Extend (update into the future) or Pivot Only.
Channel block: Optional fill of the 30–70 range for fast visual context.
Alerts:
Breaks of RSI support/resistance trendlines.
Basic bullish/bearish RSI divergences versus price pivots.
Inputs
RSI
RSI Length: Default 14 (standard).
Pivot Lookback: Bars to the left/right required to confirm an RSI swing.
Overbought / Oversold: 70 / 30 by default.
Line Extension: Full Extend or Pivot Only.
Visuals
Show RSI Moving Average / Signal Length: Optional smoothing line on RSI.
RSI/Signal colors: Customize plot colors.
Show 30–70 Channel Block: Toggle the middle-zone fill.
Tint pane background when RSI in channel: Optional subtle background when RSI is between OB/OS.
Divergences & Alerts
Enable RSI TL Break Alerts: Alert conditions for RSI line breaks.
Enable Divergence Alerts: Bullish/Bearish divergence alerts versus price.
Pairing with price for confluence/divergence
For accurate confluence and clearer divergences, align this RSI tool with your price trendline tool (for example, TRAPPER TRENDLINES — PRICE):
Set RSI Pivot Lookback equal to the Pivot Left/Right size used on price.
Example: Price uses Pivot Left = 50 and Pivot Right = 50 → set RSI Pivot Lookback = 50.
Keep RSI Length = 14 and OB/OS = 70/30 unless you have a specific edge.
Interpretation:
Confluence: Price reacts at its trendline while RSI reacts at its own line in the same direction.
Divergence: Price makes a higher high while RSI makes a lower high (bearish), or price makes a lower low while RSI makes a higher low (bullish), using matched pivot windows.
Suggested settings
Higher timeframes (4H / 1D / 1W): Pivot Lookback = 50; optional RSI MA length 14; channel block ON.
Intraday (15m / 30m / 1H): Pivot Lookback = 30; optional RSI MA length 14.
Always mirror your price pivot size to this RSI Pivot Lookback for consistent swings.
Reading the signals
RSI trendline touch/hold: Momentum reacting at structure; look for confluence with price levels.
RSI Trendline Break Up / Down: Momentum shift; consider price structure and retests.
Bullish/Bearish Divergence: Confirm only when pivots are matched and the new swing is confirmed.
Notes & limitations
Pivots require future bars to confirm by design; trendlines update as new swings confirm.
Divergence logic compares RSI pivots to price pivots with the same lookback; mismatched windows can produce false positives.
No strategy entries/exits or performance claims are provided. This is an analytical tool.
Alerts (titles/messages)
RSI: Trendline Break Up — “RSI broke falling resistance line.”
RSI: Trendline Break Down — “RSI broke rising support line.”
RSI: Bullish Divergence — “Bullish RSI divergence confirmed.”
RSI: Bearish Divergence — “Bearish RSI divergence confirmed.”
Quick start
Add the indicator to a separate pane.
Set Pivot Lookback to match your price tool’s pivot size (e.g., 50).
Optionally toggle the RSI MA and Channel Block for clarity.
Enable alerts if you want notifications on RSI line breaks and divergences.
Use with TRAPPER TRENDLINES — PRICE or any price-based trendline tool for confluence/divergence analysis.

MTF RSI MA System + Adaptive BandsMTF RSI MA System + Adaptive Bands
Overview
MTF RSI MA System + Adaptive Bands is a highly customizable Pine Script indicator for traders seeking a versatile tool for multi-timeframe (MTF) analysis. Unlike traditional RSI, it focuses on the Moving Average of RSI (RSI MA), delivering smoother and more flexible trading signals. The main screenshot displays the indicator in two panels to showcase its diverse capabilities.
Important: Timeframes do not adjust automatically – users must manually set them to match the chart’s timeframe.
Features
Core Component: Built around RSI MA, not raw RSI, for smoother trend signals.
Multi-Timeframe: Analyze RSI MA across three customizable timeframes (default: 4H, 8H, 12H).
Adaptive Bands: Three band calculation methods (Fixed, Percent, StdDev) for dynamic signals.
Flexible Signals: Generated via RSI MA crossovers, band interactions, or directional alignment across timeframes.
Background Coloring: Highlights when RSI MAs across timeframes move in the same direction, aiding trend confirmation.
Screenshot Panels Configuration
Upper Panel: Shows RSI, RSI MA, and fixed bands for reversal strategies (RSI crossing bands).
Lower Panel: Displays three RSI MAs (Alligator-style) for trend-following, with background coloring for directional alignment.
Band Calculation Methods
The indicator offers three ways to calculate bands around RSI MA, each with unique characteristics:
Fixed Bands
Set at a fixed point value (default: 10) above and below RSI MA.
Example: If RSI MA = 50, band value = 10 → upper band = 60, lower = 40.
Use Case: Best for stable markets or fixed-range preferences.
Tip: Adjust the band value to widen or narrow the range based on asset volatility.
Percent Bands
Calculated as a percentage of RSI MA (default: 10%).
Example: If RSI MA = 50, band value = 10% → upper band = 55, lower = 45.
Use Case: Ideal for assets with varying volatility, as bands scale with RSI MA.
Tip: Experiment with percentage values to match typical price swings.
Standard Deviation Bands (StdDev)
Based on RSI’s standard deviation over the MA period, multiplied by a user-defined factor (default: 10).
Example: If RSI MA = 50, standard deviation = 5, factor = 2 → upper band = 60, lower = 40.
Important: The default value (10) may produce wide bands. Reduce to 1–2 for tighter, practical bands.
Use Case: Best for dynamic markets with fluctuating volatility.
Configuration Options
RSI Length: Set RSI calculation period (default: 20).
MA Length: Set RSI MA period (default: 20).
MA Type: Choose SMA or EMA for RSI MA (default: EMA).
Timeframes: Configure three timeframes (default: 4H, 8H, 12H) for MTF analysis.
Overbought/Oversold Levels: Optionally display fixed levels (default: 70/30).
Background Coloring: Enable/disable for each timeframe to highlight directional alignment.
How to Use
Add Indicator: Load it onto your TradingView chart.
Setup:
Reversals: Configure like the upper panel (RSI, RSI MA, bands) and watch for RSI crossing bands.
Trends: Configure like the lower panel (three RSI MAs) and look for fastest MA crossovers and background coloring.
Adjust Timeframes: Manually set tf1, tf2, tf3 (e.g., 1H, 2H, 4H on a 1H chart) to suit your strategy.
Adjust Bands: Choose band type (Fixed, Percent, StdDev) and value. For StdDev, reduce to 1–2 for tighter bands.
Experiment: Test settings to match your trading style, whether scalping, swing trading, or long-term.
Notes
Timeframes: Always match tf1, tf2, tf3 to your chart’s needs, as they don’t auto-adjust.
StdDev Bands: Lower the default value (10) to avoid overly wide bands.
Versatility: Works across markets (stocks, forex, crypto).
Candle Count RSI📈 Candle Count RSI — A Dual-Perspective Momentum Engine
The Candle Count RSI is a custom-built momentum oscillator that expands on the classic Relative Strength Index (RSI) by introducing a directional-only variant that tracks the frequency of bullish or bearish closes, rather than price magnitude. It gives traders a second lens through which to evaluate momentum, trend conviction, and subtle divergences—often invisible to traditional price-based RSI.
💡 What Makes It Unique?
While the standard RSI is sensitive to the size of price changes, the Candle Count RSI is magnitude-blind. It counts candle closes above/below open over a lookback period, generating a purer signal of directional consistency. To enhance signal fidelity, it includes a streak amplifier, dynamically weighting extended runs of green or red candles to reflect intensity of market bias—without introducing artificial price sensitivity.
This dual-RSI approach allows for:
- Divergence detection between directional bias and price magnitude.
- Smoother trend confirmation in choppy markets.
- Cleaner visual cues using dynamic glow and background logic.
📐 How Standard RSI Actually Works (Not What You Think)
RSI doesn’t just check if price went up or down over a span—it checks each individual candle and tracks whether it closed higher or lower than the one before. Here's how it works under the hood:
1.) For each bar, it calculates the change from the previous close.
2.) It separates those changes into gains (upward moves) and losses (downward moves).
3.) Then it computes a smoothed average of those gains and losses (usually using an RMA).
4.) It calculates the Relative Strength (RS) as:
RS = AvgGain / AvgLoss
5.) Finally, it plugs that into the RSI formula:
RSI = 100 - (100 / (1 + RS))
⚖️ What Does the 50 Line Mean?
- The RSI scale runs from 0 to 100, but 50 is the true neutral zone:
- RSI > 50 means average gains outweigh average losses over the period.
- RSI < 50 means losses dominate.
- RSI ≈ 50? The market is balanced—momentum is indecisive, no clear trend bias.
- This makes 50 a powerful midline for trend filters, directional bias tools, and divergence detection—especially when paired with alternative RSI logic like Candle Count RSI.
🔧 Inputs and Customization
- Everything is fully modular and customizable:
🧠 Core Settings
- RSI Length: Used for both the standard RSI and Candle Count RSI.
📉 Standard RSI
- Classic RSI calculation based on price changes.
- Optional WMA smoothing to reduce noise.
- Glow effect toggle with custom intensity.
🕯 Candle Count RSI
- Computes RSI using only the count of up/down candles.
- Optional smoothing for stability.
- Amplifies streaks (e.g., multiple consecutive bullish candles increase strength).
- Glow effect toggle with adjustable strength.
🎇 Glow Visuals
- Background glow (subpane and/or main chart).
- Fades based on RSI distance from the 50 midpoint.
- Independent color settings for bull and bear bias.
🧬 Divergence Zones
- Detects when Candle RSI and Standard RSI diverge.
- Highlights:
- Bullish Divergence: Candle RSI > 50, Standard RSI < threshold.
- Bearish Divergence: Candle RSI < 50, Standard RSI > threshold.
- Background fill optionally shown in subpane and/or main chart.
📊 Directional Histogram
- MACD-style histogram showing the difference between the two RSI lines.
- Color-coded based on directional agreement:
- Both rising → green.
- Both falling → red.
- Conflict → yellow.
🧠 Under the Hood — How It Works
🔹 Standard RSI
- Classic ta.rsi() applied to close prices, optionally WMA-smoothed.
🔹 Candle Count RSI (CCR)
- Counts how many candles closed up/down over the period.
- Computes a magnitude-free RSI from these counts.
- Applies a streak-based multiplier to exaggerate trend strength during consecutive green/red runs.
- Optionally smoothed with WMA to create a clean signal line.
- This makes CCR ideal for detecting true directional bias without being faked out by volatile price spikes.
🔹 Divergence Logic
- When Candle RSI and Standard RSI disagree strongly across defined thresholds, background fills highlight early signs of momentum decay or hidden accumulation/distribution.
🔹 Glow Logic
- Glow zones are controlled by a master toggle and drawn with dynamic transparency:
- Further from 50 = stronger conviction = darker glow.
- Shows up in subpane and/or main chart depending on user preference.
📷 Suggested Use Case / Visual Setup
- Use in conjunction with your primary price action system.
- Watch for divergences between the Candle Count RSI and Standard RSI for early trend reversals.
- Use glow bias zones on the main chart to get subconscious directional cues during fast scalping.
- Histogram helps you confirm when both RSI variants agree—useful during strong trending conditions.
🛠️ Tip for Traders
- This tool isn’t trying to “predict” price. It’s designed to visualize hidden market psychology—when buyers are showing up with consistent pressure, or when momentum has a disconnect between conviction and magnitude. Use this to filter entries, spot weak rallies, or sense when a trend is about to break down.
⚠️ WARNING
- Not for use with Heikin Ashi, Renko, etc.).
🧠 Summary
Candle Count RSI is not just another mashup—it's a precision-built, dual-perspective oscillator that captures directional conviction using real candle behavior. Whether you're scalping intraday or swing trading momentum, this script helps clarify trend integrity and exposes hidden weaknesses with elegance and clarity.

Machine Learning RSI [BackQuant]Machine Learning RSI
The Machine Learning RSI is a cutting-edge trading indicator that combines the power of Relative Strength Index (RSI) with Machine Learning (ML) clustering techniques to dynamically determine overbought and oversold thresholds. This advanced indicator adapts to market conditions in real-time, offering traders a robust tool for identifying optimal entry and exit points with increased precision.
Core Concept: Relative Strength Index (RSI)
The RSI is a well-known momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements, oscillating between 0 and 100. Typically, RSI values above 70 are considered overbought, and values below 30 are considered oversold. However, static thresholds may not be effective in all market conditions.
This script enhances the RSI by integrating a dynamic thresholding system powered by Machine Learning clustering, allowing it to adapt thresholds based on historical RSI behavior and market context.
Machine Learning Clustering for Dynamic Thresholds
The Machine Learning (ML) component uses clustering to calculate dynamic thresholds for overbought and oversold levels. Instead of relying on fixed RSI levels, this indicator clusters historical RSI values into three groups using a percentile-based initialization and iterative optimization:
Cluster 1: Represents lower RSI values (typically associated with oversold conditions).
Cluster 2: Represents mid-range RSI values.
Cluster 3: Represents higher RSI values (typically associated with overbought conditions).
Dynamic thresholds are determined as follows:
Long Threshold: The upper centroid value of Cluster 3.
Short Threshold: The lower centroid value of Cluster 1.
This approach ensures that the indicator adapts to the current market regime, providing more accurate signals in volatile or trending conditions.
Smoothing Options for RSI
To further enhance the effectiveness of the RSI, this script allows traders to apply various smoothing methods to the RSI calculation, including:
Simple Moving Average (SMA)
Exponential Moving Average (EMA)
Weighted Moving Average (WMA)
Hull Moving Average (HMA)
Linear Regression (LINREG)
Double Exponential Moving Average (DEMA)
Triple Exponential Moving Average (TEMA)
Adaptive Linear Moving Average (ALMA)
T3 Moving Average
Traders can select their preferred smoothing method and adjust the smoothing period to suit their trading style and market conditions. The option to smooth the RSI reduces noise and makes the indicator more reliable for detecting trends and reversals.
Long and Short Signals
The indicator generates long and short signals based on the relationship between the RSI value and the dynamic thresholds:
Long Signals: Triggered when the RSI crosses above the long threshold, signaling bullish momentum.
Short Signals: Triggered when the RSI falls below the short threshold, signaling bearish momentum.
These signals are dynamically adjusted to reflect real-time market conditions, making them more robust than static RSI signals.
Visualization and Clustering Insights
The Machine Learning RSI provides an intuitive and visually rich interface, including:
RSI Line: Plotted in real-time, color-coded based on its position relative to the dynamic thresholds (green for long, red for short, gray for neutral).
Dynamic Threshold Lines: The script plots the long and short thresholds calculated by the ML clustering process, providing a clear visual reference for overbought and oversold levels.
Cluster Plots: Each RSI cluster is displayed with distinct colors (green, orange, and red) to give traders insights into how RSI values are grouped and how the dynamic thresholds are derived.
Customization Options
The Machine Learning RSI is highly customizable, allowing traders to tailor the indicator to their preferences:
RSI Settings : Adjust the RSI length, source price, and smoothing method to match your trading strategy.
Threshold Settings : Define the range and step size for clustering thresholds, allowing you to fine-tune the clustering process.
Optimization Settings : Control the performance memory, maximum clustering steps, and maximum data points for ML calculations to ensure optimal performance.
UI Settings : Customize the appearance of the RSI plot, dynamic thresholds, and cluster plots. Traders can also enable or disable candle coloring based on trend direction.
Alerts and Automation
To assist traders in staying on top of market movements, the script includes alert conditions for key events:
Long Signal: When the RSI crosses above the long threshold.
Short Signal: When the RSI crosses below the short threshold.
These alerts can be configured to notify traders in real-time, enabling timely decisions without constant chart monitoring.
Trading Applications
The Machine Learning RSI is versatile and can be applied to various trading strategies, including:
Trend Following: By dynamically adjusting thresholds, this indicator is effective in identifying and following trends in real-time.
Reversal Trading: The ML clustering process helps identify extreme RSI levels, offering reliable signals for reversals.
Range-Bound Trading: The dynamic thresholds adapt to market conditions, making the indicator suitable for trading in sideways markets where static thresholds often fail.
Final Thoughts
The Machine Learning RSI represents a significant advancement in RSI-based trading indicators. By integrating Machine Learning clustering techniques, this script overcomes the limitations of static thresholds, providing dynamic, adaptive signals that respond to market conditions in real-time. With its robust visualization, customizable settings, and alert capabilities, this indicator is a powerful tool for traders seeking to enhance their momentum analysis and improve decision-making.

Signal Colors:
Strong Buy Signal: Indicated by a green label and confirmed by a green candle (close > open).
Weak Buy Signal: Indicated by a blue label and confirmed by a green candle (close > open).
Strong Sell Signal: Indicated by a red label and confirmed by a red candle (close < open).
Weak Sell Signal: Indicated by an orange label and confirmed by a red candle (close < open).
Example Trading Strategy Using This Indicator
To effectively use this indicator as part of your trading strategy, follow these detailed steps:
Setup:
Timeframe : Select a timeframe that aligns with your trading style (e.g., 15-minute for intraday, 1-hour for swing trading, or daily for longer-term positions).
Indicator Settings : Customize the Stochastic RSI, RSI, and MACD parameters to suit your trading approach. Adjust overbought/oversold levels to match your risk tolerance.
Strategy:
1. Strong Buy Entry Criteria :
Wait for a strong buy signal (green label) when the RSI is at or below the oversold level (e.g., ≤ 35), indicating a deeply oversold market. Confirm that the MACD shows a decreasing trend (bearish momentum weakening) to validate a potential reversal. Ensure the current candle is green (close > open) if candle color confirmation is enabled.
Example Use : On a 1-hour chart, if the RSI drops below 35, MACD shows three consecutive bars of decreasing negative momentum, and a green candle forms, enter a buy position. This setup signals a robust entry with strong momentum backing it.
2. Weak Buy Entry Criteria :
Monitor for weak buy signals (blue label) when RSI is above the oversold level but still below the neutral (e.g., between 36 and 50). This indicates a market recovering from an oversold state but not fully reversing yet. These signals can be used for early entries with additional confirmations, such as support levels or higher timeframe trends.
Example Use : On the same 1-hour chart, if RSI is at 45, the MACD shows momentum stabilizing (not necessarily negative), and a green candle appears, consider a partial or cautious entry. Use this as an early warning for a potential bullish move, especially when higher timeframe indicators align.
3. Strong Sell Entry Criteria :
Look for a strong sell signal (red label) when RSI is at or above the overbought level (e.g., ≥ 65), signaling a strong overbought condition. The MACD should show three consecutive bars of increasing positive momentum to indicate that the bullish trend is weakening. Ensure the current candle is red (close < open) if candle color confirmation is enabled.
Example Use : If RSI reaches 70, MACD shows increasing momentum that starts to level off, and a red candle forms on a 1-hour chart, initiate a short position with a stop loss set above recent resistance. This is a high-confidence signal for potential price reversal or pullback.
4. Weak Sell Entry Criteria :
Use weak sell signals (orange label) when RSI is between the neutral and overbought levels (e.g., between 50 and 64). These can indicate potential short opportunities that might not yet be fully mature but are worth monitoring. Look for other confirmations like resistance levels or trendline touches to strengthen the signal.
Example Use : If RSI reads 60 on a 1-hour chart, and the MACD shows slight positive momentum with signs of slowing down, place a cautious sell position or scale out of existing long positions. This setup allows you to prepare for a possible downtrend.
Trade Management:
Stop Loss : For buy trades, place stop losses below recent swing lows. For sell trades, set stops above recent swing highs to manage risk effectively.
Take Profit : Target nearby resistance or support levels, apply risk-to-reward ratios (e.g., 1:2), or use trailing stops to lock in profits as price moves in your favor.
Confirmation : Align these signals with broader trends on higher timeframes. For example, if you receive a weak buy signal on a 15-minute chart, check the 1-hour or daily chart to ensure the overall trend is not bearish.
Real-World Example: Imagine trading on a 15-minute chart :
For a buy:
A strong buy signal (green) appears when the RSI dips to 32, MACD shows declining bearish momentum, and a green candle forms. Enter a buy position with a stop loss below the most recent support level.
Alternatively, a weak buy signal (blue) appears when RSI is at 47. Use this as a signal to start monitoring the market closely or enter a smaller position if other indicators (like support and volume analysis) align.
For a sell:
A strong sell signal (red) with RSI at 72 and a red candle signals to short with conviction. Place your stop loss just above the last peak.
A weak sell signal (orange) with RSI at 62 might prompt caution but can still be acted on if confirmed by declining volume or touching a resistance level.
These strategies show how to blend both strong and weak signals into your trading for more nuanced decision-making.
Technical Analysis of the Code
1. Stochastic RSI Calculation:
The script calculates the Stochastic RSI (stochRsiK) using the RSI as input and smooths it with a moving average (stochRsiD).
Code Explanation : ta.stoch(rsi, rsi, rsi, stochLength) computes the Stochastic RSI, and ta.sma(stochRsiK, stochSmoothing) applies smoothing.
2. RSI Calculation :
The RSI is computed over a user-defined period and checks for overbought or oversold conditions.
Code Explanation : rsi = ta.rsi(close, rsiLength) calculates RSI values.
3. MACD Trend Filter :
MACD is calculated with fast, slow, and signal lengths, identifying trends via three consecutive bars moving in the same direction.
Code Explanation : = ta.macd(close, macdLengthFast, macdLengthSlow, macdSignalLength) sets MACD values. Conditions like macdLine < macdLine confirm trends.
4. Buy and Sell Conditions :
The script checks Stochastic RSI, RSI, and MACD values to set buy/sell flags. Candle color filters further confirm valid entries.
Code Explanation : buyConditionMet and sellConditionMet logically check all conditions and toggles (enableStochCondition, enableRSICondition, etc.).
5. Signal Flags and Confirmation :
Flags track when conditions are met and ensure signals only appear on appropriate candle colors.
Code Explanation : Conditional blocks (if statements) update buyFlag and sellFlag.
6. Labels and Alerts :
The indicator plots "BUY" or "SELL" labels with the RSI value when signals trigger and sets alerts through alertcondition().
Code Explanation : label.new() displays the signal, color-coded for strength based on RSI.
NOTE : All strategies can be enabled or disabled in the settings, allowing traders to customize the indicator to their preferences and trading styles.
