Ultimate RSI
- Indicateurs
- Version: 1.0
- Activations: 5
The Ultimate RSI indicator is a new oscillator based on the calculation of the Relative Strength Index that aims to put more emphasis on the trend, thus having a less noisy output. Opposite to the regular RSI, this oscillator is designed for a trend trading approach instead of a contrarian one.
While returning the same information as a regular RSI, the Ultimate RSI puts more emphasis on trends, and as such can reach overbought/oversold levels faster as well as staying longer within these areas. This can avoid the common issue of an RSI regularly crossing an overbought or oversold level while the trend makes new higher highs/lower lows.
The Ultimate RSI crossing above the overbought level can be indicative of a strong uptrend (highlighted as a green area), while an Ultimate RSI crossing under the oversold level can be indicative of a strong downtrend (highlighted as a red area).
The Ultimate RSI crossing the 50 midline can also indicate trends, with the oscillator being above indicating an uptrend, else a downtrend. Unlike a regular RSI, the Ultimate RSI will cross the midline level less often, thus generating fewer whipsaw signals.
For even more timely indications users can observe the Ultimate RSI relative to its signal line. An Ultimate RSI above its signal line can indicate it is increasing, while the opposite would indicate it is decreasing.
