Fib RSI++ by [JohnnySnow]Fib RSI++ by is an RSI Inspired by my absolutely favorite RSI on tradingview: RSI & EMA with Reverse Calculator Panel by balipour.
Built for quicker and easily identify prices at current RSI /possibly reversals/ RSI direction and RSI landings.
From balipour, I reuse /adapt to pinescriptV5 3 lines of code ( ) - the balipour implementation for reversing RSI formula in order to calculate price estimation based on the Given RSI level. Credits to the author.
Inspired by it, I also combine RSI with a MA but tuned to reads better the support/resistance levels (my humble opinion).
For quicker price target identification 2 features were added:
- Gridlines based on Fib levels, standard overbought/oversold levels and other levels I personally use. All of the grid lines can be configured according to user preferences.
- 2 information tables:
--First with a collection of 'close' numbers and Fib RSI levels price estimations at given RSI
--The second table allows the user to add up to 3 custom RSI levels to further target the price estimation.
Author UI Preferences to be used with this indicator: dark theme, hidden vertical and horizontal chart gridlines.

RSI + MA StrategyHello, everyone!
We have just released an innovative strategy for TradingView. It allows you to facilitate the trading process when you have to use both indicators.
This strategy is:
User-friendly
Configurable
Equipped with the combination of Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average (MA) indicators
Designed with all required functions to manage positions
Features
The RSI+MA strategy can:
Identify entry points for Long and Short positions.
Depict RSI and MA values concerning each other.
Reduce visual congestion and import usability thanks to using a combo of 2 indicators.
Allow using pivot trading. The RSI+MA strategy will enter a Long position according to the Short position conditions. And vice versa.
Note! If you want to open a Long position, the RSI line should cross MA from top to bottom. If you want to open a Short position, RSI has to cross MA from bottom to top.
Parameters
We have equipped our strategy with more than 14 additional parameters. So, you can configure the EA according to your needs!
Inputs :
Use Reverse Trade — allows swapping Long and Short positions opening conditions.
Resolution — allows you to view an indicator with data on a higher or lower timeframe on the current chart.
RSI Length
RSI Source: Open, High, Low, Close, HL2, HLC3, OHLC4
Show MA — allows you to enable or disable MA displaying.
MA Length
MA Offset
Style:
RSI — RSI indicator line color and style settings.
MA — MA indicator line color and style configuration.
Upper Band — allows customizing line style, color, and RSI upper bound value.
Lower Band — allows you to customize line style, color, and RSI lower bound value.
Background — background color setting within the RSI upper and lower borders.
Precision — number of decimals for RSI values.
Note! Try RSI+MA on your demo account first before going live.
Multi Oscillators Price LevelsThis script draws price levels corresponding to the highest price reached in overbought situations, and the lowest price reached in oversold situations, depending on the oscillator and the timeframe the user has configured.
These levels correspond, most of time, to good supports and resistances prices.
Price levels drawings can be based on the following indicators:
Stochastic RSI (default)
Stochastic CCI
RSI
CCI
You can customize this indicator with the following options:
Source: The candle source to use in indicators calculation
Source Indicator: The indicator on which you cant to base your levels
Timeframe: The timeframe on which you want to apply the selected indicator, and calculate levels
Show supports/resistances: enable/disable price levels, depending on there status (overbought - resistances) / (oversold - supports)
Lines width: width of price levels. (set to 10 by default in order to draw "zones")
Supports/Resistances source: Select the candle data you cant to use to draw supports and resistances levels
Extend levels: Select the line extension for price levels
Levels color: Select the desired color for price levels
And of course , all parameters corresponding to the supported indicators (Stoch, RSI, CCI)
Here are a few examples of different configurations:
This script will probably be modified in the future, don't hesitate to suggest any improvement.
Donchian RSI BandsThis little mashup of mine is called the Donchian RSI Bands. It consists of two RSI's, a Donchian Channel, & Bollinger bands, which can all be turned on or off depending on your preferences.
The main RSI is set to the 7 length and the second RSI is set to the default 14 length. When used together, they form an RSI cloud.
The Bollinger Bands are set to the 35 length and use two sets of adjustable deviations to form the bands. The inner band is set to 0.25 deviation and the outside is set to 0.5. Generally, the Bollinger Bands deviation is set to 2 but for this idea, when the RSI is inside the Bollinger Bands, there's a higher possibility of chop. The stronger Bullish or Bearish trend will be when the main RSI is trending above or below the Bollinger Bands.
The RSI color is Bullish when the RSI is above the Upper Bollinger Band, Neutral when the RSI is inside the Bands, and Bearish when the RSI is below the lower Bollinger Band. The wider you adjust the Outer Band Deviation, the wider the Neutral zone will be. The width of the Bollinger Band Basis can also be adjusted so you could widen it all the way out to the Bands which will form a fully shaded channel to avoid trading when the RSI is trending inside.
The Donchian Channel is set to 70, which 2x the Bollinger Band length. I use it for longer term trends and possible trend reversals.
There are 3 options for Barcoloring:
RSI Bollinger Bands
RSI Cloud
& when the RSI is above/below the Donchian Channel Basis
RSI StrategySimple way how to use RSI and MA indicators for trading.
What we use:
• RSI
• SMA calculated by RSI (title: SMA_RSI)
• Delta of RSI and SMA_RSI (title: delta)
• SMA calculated by delta of RSI and SMA & RSI (title: SMA_RSI2)
Logic:
Upon the fact that we use the difference between two indicators that have similar values ( RSI and SMA_RSI), we get number around zero. Next, result is smoothed by calculated the SMA . This is the blue/purple line that appears on the chart - SMA_RSI2.
The trade open when SMA_RSI2 cross over the threshold. The trade close when SMA_RSI2 cross under the threshold below.
Also, the usual EMA 200 is used as a filter, which you can switch on or switch off.
Alpha Relative Strength IndexA bullish signal on the RSI indicator signals that price did not move in sync with the RSI; price moved low, but the RSI moved less. This bullish divergence is an indication of strengthening momentum. A bearish signal on the RSI indicator signals that price and RSI are not in sync
RSI Rising Crypto Trending AlertAlert version of the strategy with the same name
This is crypto and stock market trending strategy designed for long timeframes such as 4h+
From my tests it looks like it works better to trade crypto against crypto than trading against fiat.
Indicators used:
RSI for rising/falling of the trend
BB sidemarket
ROC sidemarket
Rules for entry
For long: RSI values are rising, and bb and roc tells us we are not in a sidemarket
For long: RSI values are falling, and bb and roc tells us we are not in a sidemarket
Rules for exit
We exit when we receive an opposite direction.
Cuation: Because this strategy uses no risk management, I recommend you takje care with it.
If you have any questions, let me know !
Reversal zone finderThis script would find potential reversal price zones according to RSI over bought or sell condition and big reversal candle.
It works better in range markets and lower time frames like 5M and especially in Support/Resistance zones.
Suit for scalping in forex or crypto markets.
* Use it as a trade assistant not a trade signal!
Advanced RSIThis is what I call the advanced RSI. It employs Bollinger bands on the RSI itself, in order to better highlight extremes that are still within the typical 30-70 range on.
You'll notice some background highlights. These are simply to mark the extremes.
Orange marks your standard overbought, Red marks oversold.
Fuchsia marks an RSI outside the lower deviation on the Bollinger Bands. Green marks an RSI outside the upper deviation on the Bollinger bands.
Typically while in an uptrend, the RSI dropping below the lower deviation indicates an entry point (fuchsia). The same applies for a downtrend with the RSI rising above the upper deviation (green).
You can look at the overlap in colors as even stronger indications because on a more rare occasion you will have the RSI outside the upper/lower deviation as well as being outside the typical oversold/overbought levels.
Any feedback is welcome! I try to employ contrasting colors, but they may not make sense to you so change them as you please - they are simply markers.
Adaptive Relative Strength (ARS by Premal Parekh)Dear All,
This is my first public script modified to adapt the concept of Mr. Premal Parekh on Adaptive Relative Strength - ARS)
The original Script is developed by modhelius.
I have proved the version as per my requirement and included concept of ARS.
This script will remove the manual calculation task which is required on daily basis to calculate number of sessions from ARS Date.
Hope this script will be helpful.
If yes, do hit like button and share with your friends.

Relative Strength Improved (Premal Parekh ASR Version)This script is improved over the existing script developed by Mr. modhelius
I have added ASR Concept of Mr. Premal Parekh.
This script will remove manual calculation of Trading Days from ASR Date.
Supertrend + RSI Strategy [Alose]This strategy combines the best of both indicators (Supertrend & RSI).
As we know, Supertrend is excellent at finding changes in the market trend and thus finding the best entries, however in my opinion it has a great weakness and it is that it does not know how to find the best exit point.
For this reason I decided to combine it with the RSI that we know usually knows the highest and lowest rebound points of the price, thus managing to find the best exit point for the strategy.
The best thing about combining these 2 indicators is that our trades will obtain better profits in less time.
LONG ENTRY
When SuperTrend changes its direction and it is less than 0.
LONG EXIT
There are two ways to close the trade:
When RSI is overbought, you can choose the "Overbought Level " inside the strategy settings (Default: 72).
When SuperTrend changes its direction and it is grater than 0.
SHORT ENTRY (You can enable short entries in strategy settings)
When SuperTrend changes its direction and it is grater than 0.
LONG EXIT
There are two ways to close the trade:
When RSI is oversold, you can choose the "Oversold Level " inside the strategy settings (Default: 28).
When SuperTrend changes its direction and it is less than 0.
RSI Trend StrategyThis script uses the logic that within a trending market, there is no such thing as overbought and oversold..
BUY / SELL alert triggers when ADX > 100, and RSI is > 70 (buy) or < 30 (sell). I only consider taking a trade when BUY / SELL alert is triggered, but also only when there is a clear strong trend (you can use MA or Price Action for this). The logic does not work when market is not trending!
Test it out and let me know how it is working for you.
Multiple Indicators ScreenerA screener for multiple indicators with nice table output.
I was asked many times to update custom screener to display results in a table form. This way it looks much better.
You can play with background colors depend on values you're looking for.
In the screener, for example, I'm highlighting overbought/oversold RSI values, big ADX levels and trend of the Supertrend.
In parameters you can change settings for all indicators and change/disable tickers if 40 is too many for you.
There is only 1 function that calculates all these indicators. Potentially you can change and even add more indicators to this function.
Writing code for these kind of screener is a bit time consuming, so I even created a code generator in Python for these kind of indicators :) .
Disclaimer
Please remember that past performance may not be indicative of future results.
Due to various factors, including changing market conditions, the strategy may no longer perform as well as in historical backtesting.
This post and the script don’t provide any financial advice.
Jigga - Relative Strength - SectorsHi All !!
I came across relative strength concept from below indicator.
Indicator Name: (Relative-Strength by modhelius)
Note: Sorry !! Could not add indicator url here.
Formula:
RelativeStrength = (sectorValue / sectorValue ) / (indexValue / indexValue ) - 1 * 100
I used same concept and combine all sector's relative strength against Nifty50 index.
How to use:
You can change length based on your convenience and show/hide sectors.
Indicator will show strength line for that sector.
you can use this to identify momentum stocks.
BB+RSI+EMA BUY/SELL SignalsBINANCE:BTCUSDT
* * * TESTED ON BTCUSDT 4H CHART * * *
The indicator gives signals based on candles touching BB lines and RSI oversold/overbought conditions, also a 200 EMA filter is used to trade following the major trend.
Only LONG signals are given.
Signals are divided in 3 categories based on their strenght:
- Weak BUY/SELL (green/red circles on chart)
- normal BUY/SELL (green/red triangles with "BUY" or "SELL" text on chart)
- strong BUY/SELL (green/red labels with "STRONG BUY" or "STRONG SELL" text on chart)
You can use signals from the same category as triggers for entering or exiting a trade or you can try using signals from different categories
All indicators settings can be costumized
Every signal label can be turned ON/OFF
EMA that changes color based on last candle close can be turned ON/OFF
Alerts can be set for:
- General Signals (every signal will trigger it)
- Weak Signals (only weak signals will trigger it)
- Normal Signals (only normal signals will trigger it)
- Strong Signals (only strong signals will trigger it)
CDC ActionZone Multi-TF,Mult-Ticker with alert() [P-O-Concept]This is proof-of-concept for using single screen displaying triggering signal of multiple stock/crypto

2. Table concept/part of code is pulled from Portfolio Tracker
***************************************************************************
CDC Action Zone is based on a simple EMA crossover between EMA12 and EMA26
The zones are defined by the relative position of price in relation to the two EMA lines
Different zones can be use to activate / deactivate other trading strategies
The strategy can also be used on its own with acceptable result, buy on the first green candle
and sell on the first red candle
***************************************************************************
Hint Color Meaning :
Green = FastMA > SlowMA and Price is above FastMA
Blue = FastMA < SlowMA and Price is above both MA
LightBlue = FastMA < SlowMA and Price is between both MA
Red = FastMA < SlowMA and Price is below FastMA
Orange = FastMA > SlowMA and Price is below both MA
Yellow = FastMA > SlowMA and Price is between both MA
Blue/LightBlue/Orange/Yellow should be used with another indicator (such as divergent or so)
Cautions:
- This indicator is not meant to be used as "Signal" or "Trading System"
- This indicator provide a quick-glimpse to multiple ticker in same screen. You'll still have to see indications using original CDC Action Zone (If you're using with CDC System), or combining with another indicator (For shorter tf or scalping, or short/long cover)
- Up to 10 Tickers / Timeframe + Current ticker
Alert Creation Guideline
If this indicator will be used as alert. The timeframe for ticker should be set to "same as" the chart you're using, ie, to set alert on 4h, it should be created in 4h-timeframe (Alert is fired on bar close, using 1D-TABLE in 4H-CHART may trigger alert up to 6 times. else if using in 4H-TABLE in 1D-CHART the alert may not trigger at all)
Considering using ohlc4, hlc3, hl2 for market with no session
PS. Send me a message if you see any bug. (especially if using JSON, I have no chance to test with multiple alert at same tick.)
RSI & Stoch MultiTimeThis indicator renders a table with 2 rows and 7 columns displaying the values of RSI and Stoch over different time periods. This works best on 1m charts due to a bug with the time periods I haven't yet solved.
Reverse Cutlers Relative Strength Index On ChartIntroduction
The Reverse Cutlers Relative Strength Index (RCRSI) OC is an indicator which tells the user what price is required to give a particular Cutlers Relative Strength Index ( RSI ) value, or cross its Moving Average (MA) signal line.
Overview
Background & Credits:
The relative strength index ( RSI ) is a momentum indicator used in technical analysis that was originally developed by J. Welles Wilder Jr. and introduced in his seminal 1978 book, “New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems.”.
Cutler created a variation of the RSI known as “Cutlers RSI” using a different formulation to avoid an inherent accuracy problem which arises when using Wilders method of smoothing.
Further developments in the use, and more nuanced interpretations of the RSI have been developed by Cardwell, and also by well-known chartered market technician, Constance Brown C.M.T., in her acclaimed book "Technical Analysis for the Trading Professional” 1999 where she described the idea of bull and bear market ranges for RSI , and while she did not actually reveal the formulas, she introduced the concept of “reverse engineering” the RSI to give price level outputs.
Renowned financial software developer, co-author of academic books on finance, and scientific fellow to the Department of Finance and Insurance at the Technological Educational Institute of Crete, Giorgos Siligardos PHD . brought a new perspective to Wilder’s RSI when he published his excellent and well-received articles "Reverse Engineering RSI " and "Reverse Engineering RSI II " in the June 2003, and August 2003 issues of Stocks & Commodities magazine, where he described his methods of reverse engineering Wilders RSI .
Several excellent Implementations of the Reverse Wilders Relative Strength Index have been published here on Tradingview and elsewhere.
My utmost respect, and all due credits to authors of related prior works.
Introduction
It is worth noting that while the general RSI formula, and the logic dictating the UpMove and DownMove data series has remained the same as the Wilders original formulation, it has been interpreted in a different way by using a different method of averaging the upward, and downward moves.
Cutler recognized the issue of data length dependency when using wilders smoothing method of calculating RSI which means that wilders standard RSI will have a potential initialization error which reduces with every new data point calculated meaning early results should be regarded as unreliable until enough calculation iterations have occurred for convergence.
Hence Cutler proposed using Simple Moving Averaging for gain and loss data which this Indicator is based on.
Having "Reverse engineered" prices for any oscillator makes the planning, and execution of strategies around that oscillator far simpler, more timely and effective.
Introducing the Reverse Cutlers RSI which consists of plotted lines on a scale of 0 to 100, and an optional infobox.
The RSI scale is divided into zones:
• Scale high (100)
• Bull critical zone (80 - 100)
• Bull control zone (62 - 80)
• Scale midline (50)
• Bear control zone (20 - 38)
• Bear critical zone (0 - 20)
• Scale low (0)
The RSI plots which graphically display output closing price levels where Cutlers RSI value will crossover:
• RSI (eq) (previous RSI value)
• RSI MA signal line
• RSI Test price
• Alert level high
• Alert level low
The info box displays output closing price levels where Cutlers RSI value will crossover:
• Its previous value. ( RSI )
• Bull critical zone.
• Bull control zone.
• Mid-Line.
• Bear control zone.
• Bear critical zone.
• RSI MA signal line
• Alert level High
• Alert level low
And also displays the resultant RSI for a user defined closing price:
• Test price RSI
The infobox outputs can be shown for the current bar close, or the next bar close.
The user can easily select which information they want in the infobox from the setttings
Importantly:
All info box price levels for the current bar are calculated immediately upon the current bar closing and a new bar opening, they will not change until the current bar closes.
All info box price levels for the next bar are projections which are continually recalculated as the current price changes, and therefore fluctuate as the current price changes.
Understanding the Relative Strength Index
At its simplest the RSI is a measure of how quickly traders are bidding the price of an asset up or down.
It does this by calculating the difference in magnitude of price gains and losses over a specific lookback period to evaluate market conditions.
The RSI is displayed as an oscillator (a line graph that can move between two extremes) and outputs a value limited between 0 and 100.
It is typically accompanied by a moving average signal line.
Traditional interpretations
Overbought and oversold:
An RSI value of 70 or above indicates that an asset is becoming overbought (overvalued condition), and may be may be ready for a trend reversal or corrective pullback in price.
An RSI value of 30 or below indicates that an asset is becoming oversold (undervalued condition), and may be may be primed for a trend reversal or corrective pullback in price.
Midline Crossovers:
When the RSI crosses above its midline ( RSI > 50%) a bullish bias signal is generated. (only take long trades)
When the RSI crosses below its midline ( RSI < 50%) a bearish bias signal is generated. (only take short trades)
Bullish and bearish moving average signal Line crossovers:
When the RSI line crosses above its signal line, a bullish buy signal is generated
When the RSI line crosses below its signal line, a bearish sell signal is generated.
Swing Failures and classic rejection patterns:
If the RSI makes a lower high, and then follows with a downside move below the previous low, a Top Swing Failure has occurred.
If the RSI makes a higher low, and then follows with an upside move above the previous high, a Bottom Swing Failure has occurred.
Examples of classic swing rejection patterns
Bullish swing rejection pattern:
The RSI moves into oversold zone (below 30%).
The RSI rejects back out of the oversold zone (above 30%)
The RSI forms another dip without crossing back into oversold zone.
The RSI then continues the bounce to break up above the previous high.
Bearish swing rejection pattern:
The RSI moves into overbought zone (above 70%).
The RSI rejects back out of the overbought zone (below 70%)
The RSI forms another peak without crossing back into overbought zone.
The RSI then continues to break down below the previous low.
Divergences:
A regular bullish RSI divergence is when the price makes lower lows in a downtrend and the RSI indicator makes higher lows.
A regular bearish RSI divergence is when the price makes higher highs in an uptrend and the RSI indicator makes lower highs.
A hidden bullish RSI divergence is when the price makes higher lows in an uptrend and the RSI indicator makes lower lows.
A hidden bearish RSI divergence is when the price makes lower highs in a downtrend and the RSI indicator makes higher highs.
Regular divergences can signal a reversal of the trending direction.
Hidden divergences can signal a continuation in the direction of the trend.
Chart Patterns:
RSI regularly forms classic chart patterns that may not show on the underlying price chart, such as ascending and descending triangles & wedges , double tops, bottoms and trend lines etc.
Support and Resistance:
It is very often easier to define support or resistance levels on the RSI itself rather than the price chart.
Modern interpretations in trending markets:
Modern interpretations of the RSI stress the context of the greater trend when using RSI signals such as crossovers, overbought/oversold conditions, divergences and patterns.
Constance Brown, CMT , was one of the first who promoted the idea that an oversold reading on the RSI in an uptrend is likely much higher than 30%, and that an overbought reading on the RSI during a downtrend is much lower than the 70% level.
In an uptrend or bull market, the RSI tends to remain in the 40 to 90 range, with the 40-50 zone acting as support.
During a downtrend or bear market, the RSI tends to stay between the 10 to 60 range, with the 50-60 zone acting as resistance.
For ease of executing more modern and nuanced interpretations of RSI it is very useful to break the RSI scale into bull and bear control and critical zones.
These ranges will vary depending on the RSI settings and the strength of the specific market’s underlying trend.
Limitations of the RSI
Like most technical indicators, its signals are most reliable when they conform to the long-term trend.
True trend reversal signals are rare, and can be difficult to separate from false signals.
False signals or “fake-outs”, e.g. a bullish crossover, followed by a sudden decline in price, are common.
Since the indicator displays momentum, it can stay overbought or oversold for a long time when an asset has significant sustained momentum in either direction.
Data Length Dependency when using wilders smoothing method of calculating RSI means that wilders standard RSI will have a potential initialization error which reduces with every new data point calculated meaning early results should be regarded as unreliable until calculation iterations have occurred for convergence.

In an uptrend or bull market, the RSI tends to remain in the 40 to 90 range, with the 40-50 zone acting as support.
During a downtrend or bear market, the RSI tends to stay between the 10 to 60 range, with the 50-60 zone acting as resistance.
For ease of executing more modern and nuanced interpretations of RSI it is very useful to break the RSI scale into bull and bear control and critical zones.
These ranges will vary depending on the RSI settings and the strength of the specific market’s underlying trend.
Limitations of the RSI
Like most technical indicators, its signals are most reliable when they conform to the long-term trend.
True trend reversal signals are rare, and can be difficult to separate from false signals.
False signals or “fake-outs”, e.g. a bullish crossover, followed by a sudden decline in price, are common.
Since the indicator displays momentum, it can stay overbought or oversold for a long time when an asset has significant sustained momentum in either direction.
Data Length Dependency when using wilders smoothing method of calculating RSI means that wilders standard RSI will have a potential initialization error which reduces with every new data point calculated meaning early results should be regarded as unreliable until calculation iterations have occurred for convergence.
MTF RSI-MFIThe script plots both RSI and MFI of security, automatically highlights oversold and overbought conditions and allows for calculating indicators on timeframes other than the chart.
