MTF Relative Strength Index - indicator for MetaTrader 4

MTF Relative Strength Index is a MetaTrader indicator based on well known RSI. Relative Strength Index is a financial technical analysis momentum oscillator measuring the velocity and magnitude of directional price movement by comparing upward and downward close-to-close movements. The RSI was developed by J. Welles Wilder and published in Commodities magazine in June 1978.

In MetaTrader we have Relative Strength Index already included as a standard technical indicator. However it can be used only for current timeframe. Sometimes it is desirable to have RSI showing higher timeframes. MTF Relative Strength Index presented here has additional parameter - TimeFrame. You can use it to set up higher timeframe from which RSI will calculate its values. Because values are derived from bars, when using higher timeframes, you will notice rough shape of indicator line.

• TimeFrame
