See trend direction, momentum shifts and pullback signals together.
Bankers Trend Tsunami brings two slope-colored moving averages, a dual Relative Strength Index (RSI) overlay, Fair Value Gap zones, divergence and configurable signals onto your MetaTrader 5 chart. Compare the immediate price move with the broader trend, examine a return to a moving average, and see whether momentum agrees before choosing a setup to study.
The two slope-colored averages show how the immediate move relates to the slower trend. The dual RSI helps you assess whether momentum supports that move or is turning against it. Divergence markers draw attention to disagreement between price and momentum, while Fair Value Gap zones and selectable signal families give you specific places and events to examine. Read these together to build a clear picture of a continuation setup or a developing reversal.
Read the market through the space between two averages
The 20-period moving average follows near-term movement. The 200-period average gives you a slower baseline on the chart's timeframe. Watch their slope, separation and relationship to price to distinguish a compressed market from an expanding trend. Both use Linear Weighted calculations on closing prices by default; periods and methods are adjustable.
A narrow gap: watch the transition
When the averages sit close together, look at the candles around them. Overlapping candles and repeated crosses suggest an unsettled range. A candle closing outside that range, followed by a turn and separation in the fast average, gives you a developing breakout to examine. In this walkthrough, let the first break establish a direction, then watch for a retest and a candle response away from the average. Compare the RSI direction and whether price holds outside the range or falls back inside.
An early cross: examine what changes next
A 20/200 cross shows a change in the relationship between short-term and longer-term prices. Its location matters. Does the fast average continue to slope away, with price holding on that side, or does it immediately cross back? Use the RSI overlay to inspect momentum at the same time. This helps you distinguish the observations behind a developing trend from another cross inside a range.
A wide gap: study the pullback
Once the averages have separated, compare a fresh entry location with the distance price has already travelled. In a rising trend, watch a pullback toward the fast average, then a recovery above it accompanied by a turn in RSI. Inspect the pullback swing low as a possible invalidation reference and the next price swing as an area to monitor. Reverse the observations for a falling trend.
A wide gap is not, by itself, a reversal signal. A strong trend can remain extended. For a countertrend study, look for additional changes such as price losing the fast average, momentum turning, or divergence followed by a break in recent price structure. The slow average can be a reference to monitor; price is not obliged to return to it.
The average gives you a location to watch; the response at that location gives you an event to examine. An engulfing candle or a change in candle direction at a retest is one example of a price response you can assess visually.
These are visual study workflows. They do not mean the indicator automatically detects every breakout, candle pattern or entry described here.
Read slope changes at a glance
Both moving-average lines change color with their calculated slope: green for upward, red for downward and gray for flat in the default palette. Watch whether the fast line changes direction while the slow line still holds its slope, or whether both turn together. The band makes the separation between them visible. Slope length and the flat threshold are adjustable.
Compare both RSI lines with price
The dual RSI overlay displays a fast 7-period RSI and a slower 28-period RSI calculated from that fast reading, with separately adjustable smoothing. Their relationship helps you examine both trend confirmation and potential reversals without switching away from the price chart.
For continuation, compare the RSI lines with the moving-average slope colors. After a bullish pullback, watch the fast RSI recover above the slower line while price regains the fast average and the slow average remains upward-sloping. For a bearish continuation, look for the opposite sequence. You can then inspect the corresponding enabled signal family at that location.
For a possible reversal, look for a change across the tools: the fast RSI crosses and stays on the opposite side of the slower line, price loses its fast average, and the fast average changes slope color. Next, watch how price responds around the slow average. If price recovers while the slower trend remains intact, the move may still be a pullback. A fresh price break and a change in the slower slope present a different picture. These observations help you follow the transition instead of relying on a single cross.
Divergence adds another part of that reading. A higher price high with a lower RSI high shows weakening upward momentum; a lower price low with a higher RSI low shows weakening downward momentum. The indicator's configurable divergence tools mark these relationships so you can compare the swings, RSI and subsequent price response. Read their confirmation timing below when reviewing historical charts.
Choose the signals you want to study
Signal families cover slow-average bounces, fast-average bounces, moving-average and RSI crosses, impulse breakouts, and displacement from overbought or oversold conditions. Enable the families that fit your approach instead of filling the chart with every marker.
Filters let you refine the conditions displayed using moving-average proximity, volatility, RSI direction, recent structure and continuation behavior. Countertrend and trend-exhaustion controls provide further ways to limit which setups are marked. You can adjust these separately as you learn how each family behaves.
Keep nearby zones and timing in view
Fair Value Gap zones mark gaps in the indicator's candle pattern calculation. Their detection timeframe is independent of your chart: the default is 15 minutes. Watch whether price returns into a marked zone, moves through it or turns away, and compare that response with the averages and RSI.
Candle and session timers help you keep track of timing. Optional RSI readings and moving-average bias from additional timeframes let you compare the current move with a wider view. You can also display moving-average angle, distance in Average True Range units, and trend-push or countertrend status. Display switches let you keep the chart focused on the tools you actually use.
A practical way to begin
1. Attach Bankers Trend Tsunami and let chart history load. Start with the moving averages and RSI overlay. For an intraday walkthrough, use a 5-minute or 15-minute chart and compare it with a 30-minute or 1-hour view.
2. Turn on Show RSI Signals (RSI_OVR_ShowSignals), then enable a signal family such as Enable MA20 + RSI Cross (RSI_OVR_EnableBase) or Enable Slow MA Bounce (RSI_OVR_EnableBounce). The signal display and all five families are disabled in the default release settings, so attaching the indicator alone will not show these arrows.
3. Study one type of setup at a time. For a bullish pullback example, first identify rising averages, then watch a return toward an average and a turn in RSI. Examine the resulting marker together with the candle response and nearby swing high. Reverse the observations for a bearish example. These are chart-reading examples, not optimized trading settings.
4. Before acting on a setup, identify the price level that would invalidate your reading and the next area you would monitor. Repeated crosses around flat averages, or price already far from the averages, deserve a different assessment from an orderly pullback. The indicator displays analysis; your trading plan determines entries, stops and exits.
5. Add other signal families, zones and higher-timeframe readings gradually. Enable popup, sound or push alerts if needed; alerts are off by default, and push delivery also requires MetaTrader notification setup.
Signal timing
Current-candle readings can change before the candle closes. Fair Value Gaps use real-time detection by default; choose the closed-bar mode if you want detection based on a completed candle. Pivot divergence needs later bars for confirmation, so a marker drawn at an earlier swing was not necessarily available at that moment. Bankers Trend Tsunami does not place trades or guarantee trading results.
