Relative Strength IndexThe Relative Strength Index is one of the most widely used tools in traders handset. The RSI is an oscillating indicator which shows when an asset might be overbought or oversold by comparing the magnitude of the assets recent gains to its recent losses. A common misconception is that the RSI draws a comparison between one security and another, but what it actually does is to measure the assets strength relative to its own price history, not that of the market.
The Relative Strength Index is useful for generating signals to time entry and exit points by determining when a trend might be coming to an end or a new trend may be forming. It weighs the prices upward versus downward momentum over a certain period of time, most often 14 periods, thus showing if the asset has moved unsustainably high or low.
The RSI is visualized with a single line and is bound in a range between 1 and 100, with the level of 50 being considered as a key point distinguishing an uptrend from a downtrend. You can see how the RSI is plotted on a chart on the following screenshot.
J. Welles Wilder, the inventor of the Relative Strength Index, has determined also two other fundamental points of interest. He considered that an RSI above 70 indicates that the asset is overbought, while an RSI below 30 suggests an oversold situation. These levels however are not strictly set and can be manually switched, according to each traders unique trading system. Trading platforms allow you to choose any other value as overbought/oversold boundary apart from the conventional levels.
How is RSI calculated?
The formula is as follows:
RSI = 100 –
Where the RS (Relative Strength) is the division between the upward movement and the downward movement, which means that:
RS = UPS / DOWNS
UPS = (Sum of gains over N periods) / N
DOWNS = (Sum of losses over N periods) / N
As for the period used for tracking back data, Wilders original calculations included a 14-day period, which continues to be used most often even today. It however can also be a subject to change, according to each traders unique preferences.
After the estimation of the first period (in our case the default 14 days), further calculations must be made in order to determine the RSI after a new closing price has occurred. This includes one of two possible averaging methods – Wilders initial and still most commonly used exponential averaging method, or a simple averaging method. We will stick to the most popular approach and use exponential smoothing. The UPS and DOWNS for a 14-day period will then look like this:
UPSday n = / 14
DOWNSday n = / 14
What does the RSI tell us?
here are several signals that the Relative Strength Indexs movement generates. As we said earlier, this indicator is used to determine what kind of trend we have and when it might come to an end. If the RSI moves above 50, it indicates that more market players are buying the asset than selling, thus pushing the price up. When movement crosses below 50, it suggests the opposite – more traders are selling rather than buying and the price decreases. You can see an example of an uptrend below where the RSI remains above 50 for almost the duration of the move.
However, do keep in mind to use the RSI as a trend-confirmation tool, rather than just determining the trend direction all by itself. If your analysis is showing that a new trend is forming, you should check the RSI to receive additional confidence in the current market movement – if RSI is rising above 50, then you have a confirmation at hand. Logically, a downtrend has the opposite properties.
Overbought and oversold levels
Although trend confirmation is an important feature, the most closely watched moment is when the RSI reaches the overbought and oversold levels. They show whether a price movement has been overdone or it is sustainable, thus, indicating if a price reversal is likely or if the market should at least turn sideways and see some correction.
The overbought condition suggests a high probability that there are insufficient buyers on the market to push the asset further up, thus leading to a stall in price movement. The reverse, oversold, level indicates that there are not enough sellers left on the market to further push prices lower.
This means that when the RSI hits the overbought area (in our case 70 and above), it is very likely that price movement will decelerate and, maybe, reverse downward. Such a situation is pictured on the screenshot below. You can see two rebounds from the overbought level with the first move being extraordinary strong and bound to end with a price reversal, or a correction at least.
.
Having noted that prices tend to rebound from overbought/oversold levels, we can therefore reach the conclusion that they tend to act as support/resistance zones. This means that we can use those levels to generate entry and exit points for our trading session. As soon as the price hits one of the two extremes, we can use the Relative Strength Index to confirm a probable price reversal and enter an opposite position, hoping that prices will reverse in our favor. We can then set the opposite extreme level as a profit target.

Ultimate guide to trading divergenciesHey guys!
In this post, we are going to learn how to trade divergencies, how to find them on the chart, and how to use them in our automated trading strategy.
Introduction
Divergence occurs when the direction of an asset’s price and the direction of a technical indicator move in opposite directions. Finding divergence between price and momentum indicators, such as the RSI and MACD, is a useful tool for identifying potential changes in the direction of an asset’s price and is therefore a cornerstone of many trading strategies.
Types of divergencies
There are 4 major types of divergencies:
Bullish Divergence
Hidden Bullish Divergence
Bearish Divergence
Hidden Bearish Divergence
Bullish Divergence
Price is printing lower low while the technical indicator shows higher lows. This signalizes a weakening momentum of a downtrend and a reversal to the upside can be expected to follow.
Hidden Bullish Divergence
Price is making higher lows while the oscillator makes lower lows. A hidden bullish divergence can signalize that uptrend will continue and can be found at the tail end of a price throwback (retracement down).
Bearish Divergence
Price is creating higher highs while the technical indicator shows lower highs. This signalizes that momentum to the upside is weakening and a reversal to the downside can be expected to follow.
Hidden Bearish Divergence
Price is making lower highs while the oscillator makes higher highs. A hidden bearish divergence can signalize that downtrend will continue and can be found at the tail end of a price pullback (retracement up).
Regular divergencies provide a reversal signal
Regular divergences can be powerful signals that a trend reversal is likely to occur. They indicate that the trend is strong but its momentum has weakened, providing an early warning of a potential change in direction. Regular divergences can be powerful entry triggers.
Hidden divergencies signal trend continuation
On the other hand, hidden divergences are continuation signals that often occur in the middle of a trend. They indicate that the current trend is likely to continue after a pullback, and can be powerful entry triggers when confluence is present. Hidden divergences are typically used by traders to join the existing trend after a pullback.
Divergence validity
The typical use of divergence is with a momentum indicator - such as RSI , Awesome oscillator , or MACD . These indicators focus on current momentum, and therefore trying to map out divergence from 100+ candles ago does not have any predictive value. However, changing the indicator's period influences the look-back range for a valid divergence.
Always use discretion when determining the validity of the divergence.
Confluences
It is important to approach divergencies with a disciplined and strategic mindset. Using them in conjunction with other forms of technical and fundamental analysis - such as Support and Resistance lines, Fib retracements, or Smart Money Concepts only increases conviction of the divergence validity.
Hope this helps!
🔳TOP 7 INDICATORS TO USE🔳
◻️MACD(Moving Average Convergence/Divergence)
Traders use MACD to identify changes in the direction or strength of the asset’s price trend. MACD can seem complicated at first glance, because it relies on additional statistical concepts such as the exponential moving average (EMA). But fundamentally, MACD helps traders detect when the recent momentum in an asset’s price may signal a change in its underlying trend. This can help traders decide when to enter, add to, or exit a position.MACD is a lagging indicator. After all, all the data used in MACD is based on the historical price action of the asset. Because it is based on historical data, it must necessarily lag the price. However, some traders use MACD histograms to predict when a change in trend will occur.
◻️VWAP(Volume-Weighted Average Price)
The volume-weighted average price (VWAP) is a measurement that shows the average price of a security, adjusted for its volume. It is calculated during a specific trading session by taking the total dollar value of trading in the security and dividing it by the volume of trades. The formula for calculating VWAP is cumulative typical price x volume divided by cumulative volume. VWAP gives traders a smoothed-out indication of a security’s price (adjusted for volume) over time. It is used by institutional traders to ensure that their trades do not move the price of the security they are trying to buy or sell too extremely.
◻️EMA(Exponential Moving Average)
An exponential moving average (EMA) is a type of moving average (MA) that places a greater weight and significance on the most recent data points. The exponential moving average is also referred to as the exponentially weighted moving average. An exponentially weighted moving average reacts more significantly to recent price changes than a simple moving average simple moving average (SMA), which applies an equal weight to all observations in the period.
◻️THE FOUR TYPES OF EMA:
▪️9-EMA is use for short term trading
▪️21-EMA is used for day trading
▪️50-EMA is used for analysis
▪️200-EMA is used for long term view
◻️RSI(Relative Strength Index)
The relative strength index (RSI) is a momentum indicator used in technical analysis. RSI measures the speed and magnitude of a security's recent price changes to evaluate overvalued or undervalued conditions in the price of that security. The RSI is displayed as an oscillator (a line graph) on a scale of zero to 100.Generally, when the RSI indicator crosses 30 on the RSI chart, it is a bullish sign and when it crosses 70, it is a bearish sign. Put another way, one can interpret that RSI values of 70 or above indicate that a security is becoming overbought or overvalued. It may be primed for a trend reversal or corrective price pullback. An RSI reading of 30 or below indicates an oversold or undervalued condition. Overbought refers to a security that trades at a price level above its true (or intrinsic) value. That means that it's priced above where it should be, according to practitioners of either technical analysis or fundamental analysis. Traders who see indications that a security is overbought may expect a price correction or trend reversal. Therefore, they may sell the security.

ECONOMIC CYCLE & INTEREST RATESHello traders and future traders! The state of an economy can be either growing or shrinking. When an economy is growing, it typically leads to improved conditions for individuals and businesses. Conversely, when an economy is shrinking or experiencing a recession, it can have negative consequences. The central bank works to maintain a stable level of inflation and support moderate economic growth through the management of interest rates.
What is an economic cycle?
An economic cycle refers to the fluctuations or ups and downs in economic activity over a period of time. These cycles are typically characterized by periods of economic growth and expansion, followed by periods of contraction or recession. Economic cycles are often measured by changes in gross domestic product (GDP) and other economic indicators, such as employment, consumer spending, and business investment.
Economic cycles can be caused by a variety of factors, including changes in monetary and fiscal policy, shifts in consumer and business confidence, and changes in global economic conditions. Economic cycles can also be influenced by external events, such as natural disasters or political instability.
Understanding economic cycles is important for businesses, governments, and individuals, as it helps them anticipate and prepare for changes in the economy and make informed decisions about investment, hiring, and other economic activities.
How is an economic cycle related to interest rates?
Interest rates can be an important factor in the economic cycle . During a period of economic expansion, demand for credit typically increases, as businesses and consumers borrow money to make investments and purchases. As a result, interest rates may rise to control the demand for credit and prevent the economy from overheating. Higher interest rates can also encourage saving, which can help to balance out the increased spending that often occurs during an economic expansion.
On the other hand, during a period of economic contraction or recession, demand for credit tends to decline, as businesses and consumers become more cautious about borrowing and spending. In response, central banks may lower interest rates to stimulate demand for credit and encourage economic activity. Lower interest rates can also make borrowing cheaper and more attractive, which can help to boost spending and support economic growth.
Overall, the relationship between interest rates and the economic cycle can be complex and dynamic, and the direction and magnitude of changes in interest rates can depend on a variety of factors, including economic conditions, inflation expectations, and the goals and objectives of central banks and other policy makers.
I hope you leant something new today!
💎5 Essential Indicators for Beginners🔵 Relative Strength Index (RSI)
The relative strength index (RSI) is a popular technical analysis indicator used to measure the speed and magnitude of a security's price changes. It is displayed as an oscillator on a scale of 0 to 100, with traditional thresholds of 70 and 30 indicating overbought and oversold conditions, respectively. By evaluating the RSI, traders can identify overvalued or undervalued conditions in a security's price and determine whether it is likely to experience a trend reversal or corrective pullback. The RSI can also be used to generate buy and sell signals, as an RSI reading above 70 or below 30 can indicate that the security is overbought or oversold and may be due for a correction.
🔵 Moving Average
A moving average is a technical analysis tool used to smooth out price fluctuations and signal the overall direction of the price. It is calculated by taking the average of a security's price over a certain number of time periods. By looking at the direction of the moving average, you can get a basic idea of whether the price is moving up, down, or sideways. In addition, the moving average can act as a support or resistance level.
🔵 Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands are a technical analysis tool used by traders to plot two standard deviation lines above and below a security's moving average. The goal is to help traders identify overbought or oversold conditions, and to make buy or sell decisions based on these conditions. Bollinger Bands were designed by John Bollinger, and they are often used to signal changes in a security's volatility. In stable market conditions, Bollinger Bands can provide clear signals for buying and selling.
🔵 Stochastic Oscillator
The Stochastic Oscillator is a momentum indicator that helps traders identify overbought and oversold conditions, as well as potential trend reversals. It is based on the concept that prices tend to close near their highs in an uptrend and near their lows in a downtrend.
To calculate the Stochastic Oscillator, you first need to calculate the %K and %D lines. The %K line is a measure of the current price relative to the price range over a certain period of time (the "window"), and the %D line is a moving average of the %K line. When the %K line crosses above the %D line, it is often interpreted as a buy signal, and when it crosses below the %D line, it is often interpreted as a sell signal.
🔵 MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)
The moving average convergence divergence (MACD) is a technical analysis indicator that calculates the difference between an instrument's short-term and long-term moving averages. The MACD is typically displayed as a line graph, with a nine-period exponential moving average (EMA) of the MACD plotted as a signal line. This signal line acts as a trigger for buy and sell decisions. The MACD line is considered "faster" because it moves more quickly than the signal line, which is considered "slower." Traders use the MACD to identify changes in the strength and direction of a security's price trend.

Overbought & OversoldIf you can identify overbought or oversold conditions, as a trader, this can be highly profitable. In particular, these are two definitions that refer to the extreme values of the price in addition to their intrinsic value. So, when these conditions appear, a reversal of the direction of the price is highly expected.
What is Overbought?
When something is ‘overbought’, it means that the price is thriving for a long peri. Because of this, it’s trading at a higher price than it actually should be. In other words, the asset is overly expensive and a sell-off is about to happen.
What is Oversold?
When something is ‘oversold’, it means the price is in a negative momentum for an extended period. Because of this, it’s trading at a lower price than it actually should be. In other words, the asset is overly cheap and an upward rise is about to happen.
Indicators
Moreover, there’re plenty of technical indicators which you could use in technical analysis. To confirm the Overbought and Oversold conditions the three indicators commonly used are:
Bollinger Bands,
Relative Strength Index and
Stochastics
Bollinger Bands
The Bollinger Bands appear as a channel. Specifically, the middle line is often a twenty-period moving average. On the other hand, the upper band is the moving average plus two times its standard deviation. Furthermore, the lower band is the moving average minus two times its standard deviation. As a result, the price seems to fluctuate in this channel and normally doesn’t move out of the bands. However, when the price tends to move out of the upper band the price can be considered as overbought. Likewise, the same thing happens when the price moves out of the lower band, the price can be considered oversold.
Relative Strength Index
The Relative Strength Index is a momentum oscillator where the horizontal axis appears as a function of time and the vertical axis as on a scale of 0 to 100. In addition, the standard amount of periods used for this indicator is 14.
So, the Relative Strength Index measures the magnitude and the speed of recent price action. The indicator compares a security strength on days when prices go up to its strength on days when prices go down. Yet when the Relative Strength Index has a value higher than 70 the price can be considered as overbought. When the opposite happens and the price drops down a value of 30 the price can be considered as oversold.
Stochastics
Stochastics is like the Relative Strength Index, a momentum oscillator where the horizontal axis appears as a function of time and the vertical axis is displayed on a scale of 0 to 100. However, the stochastic oscillator is predicated on the assumption that closing prices should move in the same direction as the current trend.
Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index is measuring the magnitude and the speed of the current price action. The Stochastic oscillator does calculate this value and expresses this value into a %K.
In addition, the standard amount of periods used for this indicator is 14. When the %K crosses a value of 80 the price can be considered as overbought. When the opposite happens and the price drops down a value of 20 the price can be considered as oversold.
Combined
One indicator that matches the criteria for being ‘overbought’ or ‘oversold’ can suggest a small trend reversal. But once all 3 indicators combined are matching the criteria, the assumption of a trend reversal is very likely to happen. Therefore, for trading in general this can be a profitable and low-risk strategy.

Everything I've learned about the RSI BINANCE:BTCUSDT
In this post, I'll make an attempt to share everything I've learned over the Relative Strength Index (RSI) Over the past 24 months.
Nothing described in this post is financial advice, it's just me, sharing thoughts and ideas with you.
nb: this post is more suited for traders and investors that are already educated about the RSI Indicators.
A brief introduction about the indicator itself :
The relative strength index (RSI) is a momentum indicator used in technical analysis. RSI measures the speed and magnitude of a security's recent price changes to evaluate whether it's better to buy, sell, or wait.
The RSI is displayed as an oscillator (a line graph) on a scale of zero to 100.
The RSI is probably the most used oscillator in finance nowadays, by both retail traders and institutions, hence meaning that when used well , it can be used as a great edge to profitability.
RSI popular uses :
- An asset is usually considered overbought when the RSI is above 70 and oversold when it is below 30.
- The RSI can give us insights on a potential trend's loss of momentum or validity when the price pivots levels are diverging with the RSI indicator (hidden and regular divergences)
- The most popular RSI length is 14 periods.
My findings
1. Overbought and oversold: myth or reality?
RSI's 30 and 70 levels never proved themselves to be a strong enough edge for me to be used as a standalone signal for trade entries.
As an example, just look at the irregularity of the results you would get when using just these zones :
My take on it is that as a price oscillator when it crosses into extremes, it simply means price momentum is at extreme levels. To me it's basically like a mountain cyclist in the middle of a race: he might very well go faster and higher, however, the quicker and higher he goes the more unlikely he is to keep up with that speed. Eventually, he might either decrease its speed or even go backward.
What does this tell us ?
The RSI 30 and 70 levels seem to be better used when used as timing indicators. For example, the 70 and 30 levels could be used as a filter for a trader to eliminate market noise when using a trend reversal strategy (mean-reversion). For trend traders, the levels could be used to timing signals where they'll start looking for price to do a pullback (consolidation) to get in the trend.
My experience using the 30 and 70 levels as exit signals however has been better (when it comes to using it as the only signal for a trade exit).
Say you are long on BTCUSD, in profit, and you get an RSI closure above 70. Well, in that case, you could exit 50% of your position and wait for the oscillator to cross down the 70 levels to exit the rest (as the overbought and oversold zones are rarely a defining factor for trend reversals and corrections).
2. Divergences in the overbought and oversold zones :
The lower the time frame you are trading on is, the higher the noise when it comes to divergences, especially with volatile assets such as BTCUSD. So you might want to filter out most of the ones you see to only take the best ones.
On the 15M and 5M timeframes, on BTCUSD, I find that on average about 1/3 of the divergences I see play out. However, we are not expected to take every divergence we see.
Here's what has helped me get better results with divergences :
- When approaching supply and demand zones, especially the higher timeframe ones, we might want to be more aggressive with the divergences we enter into. As the hit rate is not always amazing, the R:R is usually much better, and if the trade works out, it might give you great results which accounts for the low win rate.
- If you want to increase your win rate, I also find that going for higher timeframes is usually better when it comes to divergences.
- Take only divergences where RSI divergence's first pivot point is over 70 or under 30. Ideally, you don't want the noise to go below 60, or above 40, so that your trade has the necessary momentum to play out.
- For extra confirmation, wait for a break of the noise level to enter the trade.
- Regular and hidden divergences play hand in hand creating a form of momentum equilibrium. Hidden divergences always create regular divergences and vice versa. Hence a hidden divergence can be considered an early pullback warning to get in a bigger-picture trend.
- Regular divergences tend to play out better than hidden divergences. This is especially true when the volume is decreasing, or after a longer period of consolidation when volatility has been contracting and might be about to expand soon.
- Regular divergences in strong trends can be both a disaster and a treat. "The trend is your friend". This saying is especially true here. However, 2-3 drives of regular divergences are a great indication of a potential reversal, with enough confirmation factors to produce (often time) a great entry.
- The angle of the trend line between divergences pivot points, both on the price chart and the RSI, can be a good indication of the severity of the divergence occurring.
- The ideal lookback period for detecting divergences for me has proved to be between 5 and 28 bars. (Below 5 bars is not enough to confirm a true pivot point for me and above 28 bars has probably already played out in past price movements).
- Like all edges, using a divergence strategy always produces better results when used in confluence with other signals. I find the best confluences happen when divergences occur: alongside a stochastic cross, near medium-slow moving averages, near horizontal supply and demand zones, alongside volatility expansion, when the volume is decreasing (meaning market makes are in disagreement with the move occurring), near Bollinger bands 2.5 to 3 standard deviations (period 20).
- Convergence between your timeframes and higher timeframes is key to understanding how to better choose your trades. Try to play the big divergences but enter smaller timeframes divergences.
- When you lose a divergence trade, don't get disappointed. Jump back in because often time, and price will need to do several divergences before getting in your desired direction (however, be careful not to jump in tilt mod. Know your win rate and R:R and keep your money management serious. You'll get blown out if you start tilting on this, especially if you trade reversals with divergences, as it's difficult to get the right timing every time).
3. RSI as a trend filter?
- I've found that in trending markets, when RSI's Exponential Moving Average (EMA) crosses above the 50 line, it's an indication of an uptrend and vice versa. However, this is less effective in ranging markets as there's more noise, hence more invalid crosses.
- I've found that in trending markets when the RSI line crosses above the EMA (I use a 12 period), it's an indication of an uptrend and vice versa. However, this is less effective in ranging markets as there's more noise, hence more invalid crosses.
- As an indication of the trend's direction, I don't find any value in using bullish and bearish control zones. The only use I can find them is when using them for divergence levels filters.
This is the end of the first post of this 2 parts series. There's just so much more you can discover about this indicator that it simply cannot be constricted to a few lines of writing. However, you are welcome to take a few of my findings and go test them out using replay and backtesting. See for yourself, and find your balance.
Most of my learnings have been made through screentime, trial, and error, backtesting, mistakes, and research.
Have a good day,

HOW TO USE RSI⁉️
✳️What is the RSI Indicator
What is the RSI Indicator? The relative strength index is a market indicator that signals when the asset is over-bought or over-sold. This is a momentum-following indicator that measures how fast the price is moving and changing. The RSI uses different types of averages, but its primary purpose is to show whether a trend is strong or weak within a series of prices.
In general, a strong trend is indicated by values close to 100 while a bearish trend is often indicated by a value near 0.
✳️RSI Indicator Settings
The RSI has the standard setting. When you activate the indicator in any platform the defualt setting are 3 values. They are 6, 14 and 24. These are averages. The 30 and 70 value lines are calculated based on the lower and upper values and the middle lines is the oscillar which is a 14 period average. When the 14 period oscillator is above the 24 period is overbought and when the 14 period is below the 6 period is oversold.
✳️Opening Positions on RSI Signals
The main signal the RSI oscillator generates allows defining overbought and oversold price ranges. Although it is frequently used as a filter in systems where the main indicator is a trend one, it might be possible to try trading using RSI signals only. When indicator’s line goes above the level 70 or below the level 30, it signals that market is overbought/oversold, and it is necessary to wait for the next signal confirming a trend reversal.
✳️RSI Trendlines
Contrary to popular belief, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a leading indicator. This quality can be observed by using trendlines on the RSI chart and trading its break. When the RSI is rising, an upward trendline is drawn by connecting two or more lows and projecting the line into the future. Similarly, when the RSI is falling, a downward trendline is drawn by connecting two or more highs and projecting the line into the future. A break of an RSI trendline precedes an actual price reversal or continuation in the market. For instance, if the asset price breaks above a downward trendline, it is a signal that the price is about to edge upwards, either as a continuation of an uptrend or as a reversal of an existing downtrend in the market.
✳️RSI and Chart Patterns
The Relative Strength Index is one of the best technical indicators to complement raw price action signals delivered by candlestick patterns or line chart patterns. For instance, when a bullish candlestick, such as a pin bar, or a price chart pattern, such as a double bottom, occurs in a downtrend, a buy position can be opened when the RSI displays a reading of below 30 to imply oversold conditions.
✳️RSI Divergence
The Relative Strength Index also delivers divergence signals that could be a viable trading opportunity. A divergence occurs when the asset price and RSI do not move in the same direction. A positive (bullish) divergence occurs when the price is drifting lower, but the RSI is edging higher. This is a signal that the price may be heading towards a bottom and an upward reversal is about to happen. On the other hand, a negative (bearish) divergence occurs when the price is drifting higher, but the RSI is going lower. This is a signal that price may be heading towards a top and a downward reversal is about to happen.
✳️RSI and RVI
Both the RSI and the RVI(Relative Vigor Index) are oscillators, but their different qualities can help traders to pick out high-quality RSI trading opportunities in the market. Whereas the RSI focuses on price extremes (high and low), the computation of RVI seeks to relate closing prices to open prices. This means that the RVI has both positive and negative numbers, with the centreline being 0. The RVI gives information on the strength of price movement, with positive values indicating increasing momentum, whereas negative values denote decreasing momentum. The RSI is the best indicator to complement or qualify the signals delivered by the RVI, especially in trending markets. For instance, if the market is in an uptrend and the RVI delivers a bearish divergence signal (prices go higher whereas RVI goes lower). In this case, a retracement or a trend reversal will be confirmed if the RSI reading is above 70, which implies overbought trading conditions.
✳️Here is the list, though now at all exhausting of the ways to use RSI in your trading. I will add that I use it myself, even though you don’t see it on my charts for aesthetic reasons.
I hope you liked my article, so please like and comment bros, so that more people could see it!👍
See ya next time♻️
HOW-TO: Using Data Gathered in Divergence BacktesterHello Everyone,
Here is a small video describing the idea on studying divergence data based on divergence backtester script.
To understand further, you can study some of my older scripts on divergence. You can find them under my profile: www.tradingview.com
Filter only open source scripts so that you will see only free to use scripts with code available. This is not a fully fledged strategy. But, just means for studying the impact of divergence data on price action. Please let me know if you have any questions.

RSI Formula Explained (updated) and a LIVE FAILED tradeThis is just an update to the RSI Formula since some of you are still having trouble with it.
Its not as hard as it seems. Now with the oscillator scale reading ZERO at the mid line, there is no math to do.
RSI Values as follows
0-9 = 1 to 2 rr
10-19 = 1 to 3 rr
21-29 = 1 to 4 rr
30-39 = 1 to 6 rr
Dont worry too much about the last two. you want to be safer at trading with the first two.
The last two are really designed for "Trailing your take Profit"
If you have negative values on your RSI, thats fine. just do the trade in a SHORT and follow the same formula.

The easiest way to spot divergences and how to trade them
Welcome to the coffee shop everybody. This is your host and baristo Eric, and in today's video I am giving you a video Lesson based off of my preferences on how you should look for and use RSI Divergences.
THe Oscillator used in this video is The Heiken Ashi Algo Oscillator
Get it free here and always BOOOOOOOOOOST IT!!
There are three problems that people have whether they are experts or when they are novices in spotting Divergence between the RSI and price.
First problem is they don't know where to look because the RS I can have hundreds of high values and hundreds of low values but you need to know which ones are the relevant ones to look at.
The second problem is a common question where people ask "which way will the price go?"
The answer to that is basically the slope of the RSI is the new slope of your price so, if the RSI is angled up your price will angle up. If the RSI is angled down your price will angle down.
Now hold on a minute don't run off and start acting like you know how to trade divergences yet because there's still question number 3.
When will it go in that direction?
Just because you see a Divergence doesn't mean it's going to immediately happen so you need to know what to look for to let you know that it is actually going to go in that direction and when will that Trend begin. So in today's video I do a nice lengthy coverage on how to spot those answers and you can use the oscillator in the video by going to this link.

My Tradingview Profile:
www.tradingview.com
Welcome to the coffee shop everyone this is your host and baristo Eric,
You know what we do around here so pull up a seat at the table and get ready for your caffeine overdose .
I am happy to say that as of today we are at the final stage of development basically on The Heiken Ashi Algo Oscillator. It has proven to be a very powerful tool, very popular,, and very easy to use. up until now I have basically been showing you what all the parts do and what they mean because I figure you can't necessarily use a tool unless you know what it's settings are for.
NOTE ABOUT SUBTITLES:
I really believe that this new update will be a scalper's wet dream when it comes to being able to sit there and stare at your chart watching the oscillator and waiting for a break in the trend so that you can stay in your trade or you can exit your trade.
That being said this being the final development that needed to be done with this oscillator, any videos that you see related to the algo from me are going to be strategy videos. So let's get into the final change that I have just made and uploaded to Tradingview.
The final change as of right now is that the RSI Moving Average is now a colored line. It appears red when your average on your RSI is trending down (lower values) , and green when it is trending up (higher values). It also takes into consideration the momentum of the trend so it will not effectively change colors until the previous momentum is lost and volume has changed enough to the opposing side.
For example you could have heiken Ashi candles traveling flat on your RSI but you're RSI moving average is still red. It will not change to green until the momentum starts moving the opposite way. So not only will you know that the previous momentum is lost but you will also know when it changes direction.
As you know in the previous update to the RSI and the RSI moving average have a trend Cloud that appears behind it which switches from red to Green evenly. However there is a third black color that appears from time to time in that Trend cloud.
This black color means a loss of momentum.
Trend Cloud Meaning:
Trend Cloud (Black) = No Momentum and Volume
Trend Cloud (Green) = Bullish Momentum and Volume
Trend Cloud (Red) = Bearish Momentum and Volume
Price will run flat if:
If the Trend cloud is Back, while the RSI Moving Average is green, you have lost momentum to the upside.
If the Trend cloud is Black, while the RSI Moving Average is Red, you have lost momentum to the down side
Trend is changing direction If:
Trend cloud was one color but slowly blended to opposite color without changing into a back color.
Now with the RSI, moving average being able to switch between colors you can tell when the new trend has started or the old trend has restarted because, just because there was a loss in momentum of the previous Trend doesn't mean it's just going to switch the other way and it doesn't mean that it's going to continue the same way however the moving average will tell you what it's doing along with the trend cloud.
If you were previously in an uptrend and then you get a black cloud Showing behind your candles you know that you have a loss in momentum. If you look at your moving average, you will see that it will switch to the opposing color however if it then switches back to the original color then all you had was a pause in your Trend and is going to continue the same way it was going before. Iif the moving average has switched colors when the trend Cloud went to Black and the moving average stays that second color you know that your trend has changed Direction.

A combination of RSI and MACDThere are many indicators in the world of trading and each has its own minuses and pluses.
To smooth out the disadvantages and benefit from the advantages, you can use several indicators at once.
This trading strategy is based on the use of RSI and MACD .
Everyone knows that when a fast moving average crosses a slow one from top to bottom, it is necessary to sell .
When the fast moving average crosses the slow one from the bottom up, buy .
In this case, in order to open a position, the trader must wait for signals from one indicator first, then from the second, and only after that open a position.
On the ETH chart, we see that on November 6 , the RSI gave a sell signal. This signal alone is not enough, but after seeing it, you should be ready to open a deal soon.
On November 15 , the MACD gave a sell signal and already here the trader should open a short.
Where to set a stop loss and when to close a position is up to you, but there is an easy way.
Stop loss can be set for the previous maximum/minimum , and the position can be closed when the indicators signal the opening of a position in the other direction .
Specifically, in this position, a stop loss could be set for a maximum of 4880.85 on November 9 .
It was possible to close the position when the MACD showed a buy signal, the price had already fallen by 46% by that time.
As you may have noticed, the RSI sometimes shows premature signals , which is why it is important to wait for the MACD signal.
Positions at numbers 2 and 4 show that after the RSI showed a sell signal, the price went even higher , updating the maximum and only after the MACD signal it was worth opening positions.
Be careful, be patient.
Whoever knows how to wait gets everything.
Heiken Ashi Algo Volume Scalping StrategyHeiken Ashi Algo Volume Scalping Strategy
Welcome everybody this is your Barista Eric should I be calling it a baristo cuz Barista sounds kind of effeminate and you can tell by my voice I am not a woman.
So we got something interesting.
Today I'm going to be sharing with you a volume scalping strategy that you can use with the heiken Ashi Algo.
This is a wonderful strategy because the algo has a lot of features that plot onto its oscillator and you can actually turn most of them off you only need basically three things showing up.
To do this all you need are:
Heiken Ashi Candles
The RSI Moving Average and
RSI (relative strength index line)
So let's go into the settings. I'll show you what to do and you'll be able to get started in this in just a few minutes.
Open tradingview and go to the indicators and I'm going to type in Heiken Ashi Algo. There you will see it under the Community scripts by @coffeeshopcrypto the "Heiken Ashi algo Oscillator"
Here is a link to it
(Click there)
Add it to your chart and let's go to the settings.
In the style tab of the settings You can turn off both of the stochastics.
Also you'll notice a couple of grade out boxes to things that are not selected. The RSI upper band and the RSI lower band. These print the 70 and the 30 level on your oscillator so turn them both on. If the other bands distract you you can turn them off. These would be the 40 and 60 levels.
The last thing you want to do here is change your RSI to yellow and your RSI moving average to red.
Now let's go to the inputs tab and change your RSI to 18 and RSI Moving average to 36.
If you're trading on a higher time frame than one hour you should probably change them to 21 and 50 as a maximum..
If you're trading on a 15 minute or lower time frame you should set them to about 12 and 14 or or lower.
Also change your RSI moving average type to a volume weighted moving average.
*******************Special Note******************
I want to address a couple of questions I got since the release of the Algo and one of the questions that I tried to cover in the previous couple of videos was when someone is going to ask me "what are the best settings at certain time frames?" You have to understand there are no best settings because if you're trading in crypto against the US dollar or crypto against For example another crypto then things move differently. your settings for the US dollar can be set one way but if you're trading crypto against crypto pairs you need different settings. also the settings are really tied to the market that you are in. if you are trading on the S&P or indices or Futures your settings are different for all of those things they are not the same for either one of them and once you get into crypto the markets are so volatile that you need to watch things closely/ so I cannot tell you what are the best settings because the best settings do not exist. Choose the settings that work well for you and if they are not working well it's because the market is changing just a little bit and you need to start developing additional strategies. You can not just have one strategy that you use all the time because that will not work all the time. Markets change. They have four different versions and you need to have several strategies that will be able to address each one of those types of Market.
One of the reasons that I've created this particular indicator is because it allows you to develop several different types of strategies and this particular video is one of those strategies that you can practice and you can use from time to time when you are seeing extremely changing volumes in the market that you're in. This way you have another piece of ammunition in your pocket that you can use when your current strategy or whatever you used to using isn't working as well as it should be.
What is the Heiken Ashi Algo OscillatorWhat is the "Heiken Ashi Algo Oscillator"
Well here is a link to it
It is an indicator that measures volume and momentum.
It plots and RSI as Heiken Ashi candles.
It includes seven different types of moving averages against the relative strength index.
Each one of these moving averages calculates faster than the previous, starting from the SMA to the LSMA.
It includes a hidden vwap as a moving average to confirm Trend Direction.
It uses a "Double Stochastic Strategy" designed by @CoffeeshopCrypto
The first Stochastic being called the "slow stochastic" and the second stochastic using a hull moving average calculation and it's K% and a separate multiplication in its D%.

Welcome to the coffee shop everyone. This is your host and Barista Eric as always serving up something piping hot and frothy unless you just like a chai tea which tastes like a hot Garden in a cup. Chai is definitely not my cup of tea but I do like drinking tea over coffee . So if you feel like sending me something then let it be either coins on tradingview or it could be a few tea bags of your favorite.
Okay so I'm keeping the intro very short today and I know my videos tend to be pretty long and I max out at the 20 minute marker but I do like to keep you people informed and today is the information you've been waiting for.
today is the release of the Heiken Ashi Algo oscillator.
There is definitely not enough time in this video To break down all the different ways you can use it for trading because it is available to so many different styles and strategies so in today's video I'll show you what all the parts do what all the parts mean you can take it and added to your chart and start running with it.
In the meantime day-to-day you will see new strategies posted in my profile. Each one depicting a different trading strategy and trading style that can you can use against the Heiken Ashi Algo Oscillator.
I figured it would be easier this way anyway to break up the trading Styles across different videos so that there is no confusion and you won't have to worry about watching two different styles in the same video at least .
So without further Ado let's grab our coffee and tea and raise our glasses in a universal, community style toast and get onto the oscillator and all of it's moving parts.
This is where you need to play the video and listen, because it would be TOO MUCH to type and too much to read. So let's go.
-----------------------------------------
For my trading style, the HA candles have been Recalculate it again because I come to find out that the AHA candles are based on a 2. Calculation which means if my candles are set to 9. IRS I should be twice of that and my RS I'm moving average should be two times at so my candles are 9 my RS I is 18 which is 9 * 2 and my are as I'm moving average is 36 which is 18 * 2.
I just wanted to point this out before anyone starts asking me what are the best settings. these are not necessarily the best they are simply the ones that work for me.
HA Candle: These are the colors, Wicks, and borders, as they are plotted against yourRSI. they are simply a representation of the RSI signal but you can have your RSI set at one length while your candles are set at another length.
RSI: No description needed here this is simply the relative strength index
long exit - This is a signal to tell you the uptrend is going to pause or stop.
short exit - this is a signal to tell you that the downtrend is going to pause or stop
Resistance levels - This is a signal to tell you where you can set the beginning of a trend line and the level of resistance on your chart.
support levels - is this a signal to tell you where you can set the beginning or end of a trendline and set a support level on your chart
RSI Moving average - this is the signal line of your moving average against your RSI and you can choose up to 7 different calculations.
Buy and sel Signals - These signals are triggered based off of certain criteria happening in the oscillator related to volume and Trend Direction.
**WARNING** You should take BUYS when you are in an uptrend and SELLS in a downtrend. (IE 200ma below the 50 ma for uptrend and 200 above 50 for downtrend)
Slow stochastic RSI ribbon - this prints a visual representation of the regular stock a stick on your oscillator.
Fast Stochastic RSI ribbon - This is the second part of the double Stochastic strategy which prints a fasterStochastic on your chart which uses part of a hull Moving Average calculation.
Finally ALERTS have been included.
To use the alerts go to your alerts Tab and click create alert.
Under "Condition" select Heiken Ashi Algo
In the drop-down below it you can select:
buy signal to enter long
Sell signal to enter short
Soft Long or Short exit, if you want to get out of your Long or Short trade when the trend begins to change
Hard Long or Short exit, Is when you definitely should get out of your long or short trade.
there is also an alert set up if you want to be notified about new resistance levels or new support levels.
Just select the one you want and adjust the message that will arrive to you via email, phone, or on screen.
So........ did we do a good job? Let's talk in the comments below.
Regarding the SR_R_C (Stoch RSI + RSI + CCI) indicator...Hello?
Welcome, traders.
By "following", you can always get new information quickly.
Please also click "Like".
Have a good day.
-------------------------------------
We use several methods to analyze charts.
When you start studying charts, you study a lot of things.
However, you should forget everything you have studied, trends, patterns, and indicators when conducting real trading.
Otherwise, it is because you are stuck in the studied frame and try to fit the chart into the studied frame without interpreting the chart movement as it is.
I think that this behavior makes you analyze charts with subjective thoughts, which increases the chances of creating a wrong trading strategy.
To prevent this, we will explain a new indicator.
The SR_R_C indicator is a combined indicator of the Stoch RSI, RSI, and CCI indicators.
- The set values of the Stoch RSI indicator are 14, 7, 3, 3.
It is displayed as one line by treating it as the middle value of the K and D lines.
- The setting value of the RSI indicator is 14.
Instead of the existing Close value, we tried to maintain the continuity between the oversold section and the overbought section by calculating the Heikin Ashi Close value.
RSI indicators are displayed in columns.
- The set value of the CCI indicator is 9.
When the CCI value rises above the +100 point, it is marked as overbought, and when it falls below the -100 point, it is marked as oversold.
CCI indicators are displayed in bgcolor.
There are a lot of information on how to interpret each indicator if you search.
However, you can read the searched content and forget it.
The detailed interpretation method can add subjective interpretation to the objective information that can be obtained through the index, so you can forget about the method of interpretation of the index itself.
The core interpretation method of the SR_R_C indicator can be interpreted that if two or more of the three indicators are defective, a reversal of the trend is highly likely.
For example, if two or more of the Stoch RSI, RSI, and CCI indicators are in the oversold zone, it can be interpreted that there is a high possibility of turning into an uptrend.
Conversely, if it enters the overbought zone, it can be interpreted that it is highly likely to turn into a downtrend.
Trend patterns such as Fibonacci, Harmonic, and Elliott waves will show the result of the discussion depending on the selected point.
Therefore, in order to use these patterns, indicators, and tools, the selection of a selection point is the most important.
However, I think that auxiliary indicators, such as MACD, RSI, Stoch RSI, CCI, etc., can help to obtain objective information because there is no point of choice.
In conclusion, the reason for analyzing the chart is to make a trading strategy based on the analyzed content to make a successful trade, so it is important to analyze the chart in the most objective and essential way.
Even with any of these indicators, patterns, and tools, critically choosing the wrong support and resistance points will lead to trouble crafting a trading strategy.
Therefore, solid learning of support and resistance points is required before studying or utilizing all indicators, patterns, and tools.
Thank you for reading this long article to the end.
For reference, all indicators included in this chart can be used normally if the chart is shared.
Also, you can copy and paste the indicators to other layouts to use them neatly.
RSI: The King of IndicatorsIf I had to choose one (and only one) indicator to use for the rest of my life, it would most certainly be the Relative Strength Index (RSI). Anyone who's spent more than 30 seconds on TradingView understands, in the most basic sense, that RSI indicates when an asset is over- or undervalued (overbought or oversold). But this delicious little oscillator can do a lot more than that. In fact, you could develop a winning trading strategy based entirely on RSI signals and nothing else (though, why would you?). Here are some of my favorites:
SMA Crossovers
TradingView's built-in RSI indicator now comes equipped with a Simple Moving Average applied by default. Like other MA crossover strategies, RSI SMA crossovers can be a very effective tool. Note that this sort of strategy is probably best implemented programmatically, though. But if you do intend to trade these signals the old fashioned way, you'll definitely want to work on a high time frame. Eventually I intend to write a PineScripts strategy to do some back-testing and get some win/loss rates and ratios for different RSI and SMA lengths.
Divergences
Who doesn't love RSI divergences? They're easy to spot, and very reliable on a variety of time frames. Just look for local highs/lows in the RSI that "diverge" from the corresponding local highs/lows in price. Below is an example of a divergence and a hidden divergence. There is a bearish and bullish flavor of each type of divergence.
Overbought/Oversold conditions
Probably the most common use of RSI is to determine whether and asset is overvalued or undervalued. In general, an asset is considered overbought when RSI is greater than 70, and oversold when RSI is less than 30. This is a dangerous rule to follow blindly though, because the rest of the context is important. Here are a couple tips/caveats:
(1) Each asset has a different "normal" RSI range. i.e. one asset might be overbought at RSI = 70, but another could ride well above 70 for some time before coming down to earth.
(2) The macro trend matters. A lot. Zoom out and see which way the market is trending. In a bull market, RSI may ride close to the oscillator's upper bounds and not touch "oversold" territory for a while. And vice-versa in a bear market. If the market is ranging, you can feel better about trusting the 70/30 "rule".
Take a look at the charts below. In one, you see a bitcoin bull market, where BTC soars way above 70, and stays above the midpoint (50) for the duration of the run. If you had sold when bitcoin first hit "overbought" territory >70, you would have missed out on >3800% gains! In the other chart, you see the S&P500 during the 2008 bear market. We see values <30 a number of times without ever seeing anything above 70. So if you bought when the index first went below 30, you would have potentially exposed yourself to almost a 50% decline.
Breakouts/Breakdowns
Just like patterns in price, RSI follows trendlines and patterns as well. RSI breakouts aren't much help on their own (as it's often too late by the time you spot one), but they can help confirm price breakouts, or increase your confidence in another trading idea.
What are your favorite RSI use-cases? What other indicators does it work best in confluence with? Do you have another favorite indicator that you think can contend with the king? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.
Trendline Trades w Heikin Ashi Algo Oscillator + a surpriseWelcome to the coffee shop everyone. This is your host and Barista Eric. This podcast is designed to teach you The right and wrong way to get in and out of your trades because I'm not just going to tell you the right way, I'll also show you the things that you should not do. It's also a platform where I can release my versions of popular indicators. I'll show you how to use them and of course from time to time I will call out really bad strategies because I don't want you guys to have that information. feel free to share this content anywhere you choose online and of course do not fall for scams because I will not contact you for any type of currencies lending or any financial help in any way online. That being said, if you see me on the street and you want to give me a dollar all the power to you I'll be more than happy to accept it.
Also don't get worried if I do send you a message it's usually just a thank you for starting to follow me because everyone that follows me I do have to follow them back so that I can see what you have going on.
All that being said in today's video I am going to show you how to draw trend lines and channels using the support and resistance Indications in Heikin Ashi Algo Oscillator. Now you may not have this oscillator on your charts yet but for now you can use the CSC-HARSI.
here is a link to get that from tradingview and add it to your chart
So let's go to Tradingview and open it up on your desktop or on your phone.
go to the indicators tab
type in coffee shop crypto
there you will find only one indicator called the CoffeeshopCrypto HARSI 2022
Go ahead and add that to your chart and make sure it's added to your favorites
Now in its default settings that should work just fine for you because the default settings allow you to use the VWAP as a moving average against your RSI.
This particular tutorial I'm picking off the resistance indication that came up and then it was followed by several support indications. This simply means that resistance was going against your price the Bears were pushing against the Bulls so prices moved up and met resistance and it was being pushed back down.
Take care to watch the whole video for the strategy on how to use this with Trend Lines.
SURPRISE.
I am releasing the Heikin Ashi Algo OScillator later today as is. And you can use it with some of the indications that are available.
I think it's time I release it and stop trying to be so perfect with it.
It will have the S/R/ levels
Aerts to exit your short or long position
Range signals - To tell you when you have entered into a RANGE
Bulls / Bears Rejection Signals - Letting you know its a STRONG rejection of the current bullish or bearish trend.
Double Stochastic Strategy - A video will be created on how to use this on a later date. I'm also leaving the double stack castic strategy in there but you may not know how to use it just yet and I will create a video on that on a later date so in the meantime when you see it you could just turn it off if you want to.
Alerts for Exit Short and Exit Long - these messages will be sent to your phone, email and desktop to let you know you should exit your current trade of Long or Short.
