RSI Multi Time Frame

What it is
A clean, two-layer RSI that shows your chart-timeframe RSI together with a higher-timeframe (HTF) RSI on the same pane. The HTF line is drawn as a live segment plus frozen “steps” for each completed HTF bar, so you can see where the higher timeframe momentum held during your lower-timeframe bars.

How it works
Auto HTF mapping (when “Auto” is selected):

• Intraday < 30m → uses 60m (1-hour) RSI
  
• 30m ≤ tf < 240m (4h) → uses 240m (4-hour) RSI
  
• 240m ≤ tf < 1D → uses 1D RSI
  
• 1D → uses 1W RSI
  
• 1W or 2W → uses 1M RSI
  
• ≥ 1M → keeps the same timeframe
  

The HTF series is requested with request.security(..., gaps_off, lookahead_off), so values are confirmed bar-by-bar. When a new HTF bar begins, the previous value is “frozen” as a horizontal segment; the current HTF value is shown by a short moving segment and a small dot (so you can read the last value easily).

Visuals

• Current RSI (chart TF): solid line (color/width configurable).
  
• HTF RSI: same-pane line + tiny circle for the latest value; historical step segments show completed HTF bars.
  
• Guides: dashed 70 / 30 bands, dotted 60/40 helpers, dashed 50 midline.
  

Inputs

• Higher Time Frame: Auto or a fixed TF (1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 30, 45, 60, 120, 180, 240, 360, 480, 720, D, W, 2W, M, 3M, 6M, 12M).
  
• Length: RSI period (default 14).
  
• Source: price source for RSI.
  
• RSI / HTF RSI colors & widths.
  
• Number of HTF RSI Bars: how many frozen HTF segments to keep.
  

Reading it

• Alignment: When RSI (current TF) and HTF RSI both push in the same direction, momentum is aligned across frames.
  
• Divergence across frames: Current RSI failing to confirm HTF direction can warn about chops or early slowdowns.
  
• Zones: 70/30 boundaries for classic overbought/oversold; 60/40 can be used as trend bias rails; 50 is the balance line.
  

This is a context indicator, not a signal generator. Combine with your entry/exit rules.

Notes & limitations
HTF values do not repaint after their bar closes (lookahead is off). The short “live” segment will evolve until the HTF bar closes — this is expected.
Very small panels or extremely long histories may impact performance if you keep a large number of HTF segments.

Suggested use
Day traders: run the indicator on 5–15m and keep HTF on Auto to see 1h/4h momentum.
Swing traders: run it on 1h–4h and watch the daily HTF.
Position traders: run on daily and watch the weekly HTF.
