Advanced Fully Reversed Candles with Reversed IchimokuThe "Advanced Fully Reversed Candles with Reversed Ichimoku" indicator is a sophisticated tool designed for traders who seek a unique perspective on market dynamics. This innovative indicator not only reverses the traditional candlestick chart but also inverts the Ichimoku Cloud components, providing a comprehensive view of the market's inverted behavior.
Key Features:
Reversed Candlestick Chart:
The indicator recalculates the OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close) prices by reversing them along the price axis. This means that what typically would be an upward movement is displayed as a downward movement, and vice versa. This reversal provides an alternative view that can help traders identify hidden patterns and potential reversal points that might not be obvious on a standard chart.
Reversed Ichimoku Cloud:
All components of the Ichimoku Cloud indicator are recalculated based on the reversed price data. This includes:
Tenkan-sen (Conversion Line): Reversed based on the highest and lowest prices over the specified period.
Kijun-sen (Base Line): Reversed in a similar manner to the Tenkan-sen, providing a medium-term perspective on price trends.
Senkou Span A (Leading Span A): Reversed to form one boundary of the Kumo (cloud), offering insight into future support and resistance levels.
Senkou Span B (Leading Span B): Reversed to form the other boundary of the Kumo, complementing Senkou Span A.
Chikou Span (Lagging Span): Reversed and plotted backward for additional confirmation of trend direction and strength.
Dynamic Price Range Calculation:
The indicator dynamically calculates the maximum and minimum prices over the last 500 bars (or the available range if fewer bars are present). This ensures that the reversal is always based on the most relevant data, providing accurate and up-to-date visualizations.
Visual Enhancements:
The reversed candlesticks are color-coded for easy interpretation: green for upward movements and red for downward movements, based on the reversed data.
The Ichimoku Cloud is filled with semi-transparent colors to clearly distinguish between bullish and bearish conditions even in its reversed state.
Debugging Aids:
For transparency and accuracy, the indicator plots the maximum and minimum price lines used for the reversal calculations. This allows users to verify the internal workings of the indicator and ensure the reversal logic is correctly applied.
Usage:
This indicator is ideal for advanced traders and analysts who want to explore market behavior from an unconventional angle. By reversing both the candlestick chart and the Ichimoku Cloud, it provides a unique perspective that can uncover new trading opportunities and enhance market analysis.
Customization:
Users can customize the periods for the Tenkan-sen, Kijun-sen, and Senkou Span B, as well as the displacement for the Ichimoku Cloud. This flexibility allows traders to adapt the indicator to their specific trading strategies and timeframes.
Conclusion:
The "Advanced Fully Reversed Candles with Reversed Ichimoku" indicator is a powerful tool that transforms traditional market analysis. By inverting both price movements and key technical indicators, it opens up a new dimension of trading insights, helping traders to see the market in a completely different light.
Parameters:

PRICE CHANNEL MEAN REVERSIONThis script is a Fully Automated trading script meant to be used with "Oanda" broker and the plug-ins for algorithmic trading automation.( FOREX ONLY)
This script is meant to capture "MEAN REVERSION " for intraday charts (1hour) preferably and will hold for days / weeks .trading on forex markets.
(The combination of indicators includes a high and low price channel along with a fast moving average)
This script is original in the description of Alan Hulls moving average combined with the high and low closing of price action.
The concept of this mean reversion strategy is to try and capture price exhaustive moves . The moving average is fast and most times remains in the channel. when the moving average overshoots the channel the average price of the instrument is thought to be rising or falling faster then average, indicating a possibility that the instrument may revert (pull back) this strategy aims to capture that pull back.
This strategy uses a higher risk than reward profile to jump in front of market moves (4 risk to 1 reward)
in the likelihood the instrument will revert back (example) 25 pips before it continues 100 pips in the current direction.
This strategy should only be used in markets that you believe are mean reverting at the time of trading otherwise you will be jumping Infront of a possible trend and the price can continue in the trending direction for an unknown specified amount of time.
This script uses a (user defined period) fast moving average ( green/red color) and (user defined period) price channel (White/Blue) chosen in the indicator settings menu.
The default parameters are 55 with a (minimum of 1 and maximum of 10000) for the moving average and 50 with a (minimum of 1 and maximum of 10000) for the price channel , the default parameters = roughly 2 days of price action on the (1 hour) chart.
"The default parameters should be kept unless you fully understand the complete strategy"
the upper band (white line) is the highest close of the specified period and the lower band (blue line) is the lowest close of the same period.
When the fast moving average over shoots the price channel (exits) then crosses back into the price channel (enters) it will trigger a long or short trade.
The long signal is given when the the moving average crosses below the low band then crosses back above the low band . The trade long trade will be entered and the trade will exit if the stop loss or profit targets are hit or if the short signal is given the trade will close then reverse.
The short trade will be entered if the fast moving average crosses above the upper band (white line) then crosses back down through the upper band (white line) The trade short trade will be entered and the trade will exit if the stop loss or profit targets are hit or if the long signal is given the trade will close then reverse.
When the trade is entered a red , a blue and green horizontal dotted line will appear on the chart.
the blue line is the strategy entry price , the red line is the stop loss price , and the green line is the take profit price . the colors will invert if the trade is long or short.
(Setting alerts should be done in the indicator settings menu, and the parameters you chose will determine the stop loss/target and the amount of "units = (position size)" you wish to trade for the (forex only) markets. using "alert() function calls only" is the only alert that should be used with this strategy.
(note : when "alert() function calls only" is set two messages will be sent, one closing any open position in the opposite direction and one placing the new order regardless if you are currently in a trade or not)
Trade targets , stoploss and trade position size are a user defined variables entered in the indicator settings menu. (target pips minimum 0 and a maximum of 1000)(stop pips minimum of 0 and maximum of 1000)
Back test date range is included in the script for back testing different data periods.
the back ground will be colored a transparent navy blue if the period you are looking trading is with in the date range( note: to place live trades the end date will need to be in the future)
this is also adjustable in the settings menu
The avoid spread filter is a user defined time in which the spread is typically higher than average, applying this filter avoids trades in the specified time. When this filter is applied there will be a transparent red back ground color in the specified time.
Back test default setting are equivocal to OANDA:NZDUSD
at the time of this publication placing trades with the "Oanda" broker are as follows , NZD units = 3250 equal 2000 USD position size . "Oanda" current leverage is 33.3 to 1 for this particular pair and commission is paid in spread (1.7) pips = 0.55 USD per trade , Margin required for the trade is 60.50 USD , Position sizing = 6.5% of a 1000 USD account. OANDA:NZDUSD
Reversal Points [CC]This original script was created based on a suggestion from @kerpiciwuasile. My original Reversal Points script was removed because I modeled it after an indicator by Demark, but this script will have no such issues. Reversal points are an exciting concept for me because it is such a useful tool when placing trades. This is my first attempt at a new overall layout for my script and I included a bunch of customization so let me know what you think.
My script works by finding lows that are surrounded by bars that have higher lows and highs that are surrounded by lower highs. I use this logic to find short term lows or highs and I use the same concept to find mid-term lows or highs but a mid-term high is a short term high surrounded by lower short term highs and a mid-term low is a short term low surrounded by higher short term lows. And of course this means that long term highs or lows use the same logic to find highs or lows that are surrounded by mid-term highs or lows. I would recommend to buy at the long term low points or sell at the long term high points.
Keep in mind of course that short term highs and lows are very common and reversal points will get rarer as you look for longer term reversal points. I would recommend to experiment and see which reversal points work best for you and of course, know that there is no magical formula to use for all stocks.
Also there are a few scenarios where you want to enable or disable the inside bar setting. You would want to ignore inside bars if the market is currently very volatile or if you are using this indicator on a crypto chart. This is not an exact science but more of a recommendation, so feel free to experiment with it.
Reversal points are crucial for traders as they signal a potential change in the market trend, providing opportunities for entry or exit.
In summary, this code snippet is a powerful tool for traders to detect and visualize reversal points on a trading chart, providing valuable insights into potential trend changes and facilitating more informed trading decisions.
Let me know if you would like me to publish other scripts or if you want me to do something custom for you!
Reverse Double Smoothed Relative Strength Index Bands[CC]The Reverse Double Smoothed Relative Strength Index Bands is a custom script of mine that is another part of my RSI indicator series, which I will be publishing over the next week or so. This takes my Double Smoothed Relative Strength Index script and applies the Reverse RSI formula to create a new Bollinger Bands type indicator. This concept can work for almost any oscillator with some slight tweaking. I have a reverse RSI being calculated for each major RSI level to give you an approximation of what the price would look like if that RSI level was hit. Feel free to tweak the RSI levels of course. I will publish more Reverse indicators since that doesn't seem to be a topic that is touched on very frequently. I have color coded the indicator to show darker colors when it is a strong signal and lighter colors for normal signals. Buy when the lines turn green and sell when they turn red.
This was a custom request from @kerpiciwuasile so let me know if you want to see me publish another custom script!
Reverse Relative Strength Indicator [CC]The Reverse Relative Strength Index was created by Giorgos Siligardos (Stocks & Commodities V. 21:6 (18-30)). It is a handy indicator that reverse engineers the RSI price calculation to show what the price would have to be for the RSI value to match our chosen input. You can select your chosen RSI level using the RSI Level input for this indicator. For example if you wanted to see what the price would be for the RSI value to match the oversold level then you would set the RSI Level for 30 and it will plot that price on the chart. This uses some simple math to extrapolate the price with some basic algebra from the typical RSI calculation. This, of course, is a very similar concept to my previous Reverse Moving Average Convergence Divergence script. This indicator formula can be used for any oscillator with some slight tweaking and could also be customized to show the price for overbought and oversold levels, which I will probably do in the near future. This indicator is useful in many ways such as a trend indicator as my example shows or for a price projection tool. For example, if you had a current RSI level of 66 and it was going up and you want to see what the price would be if it reached the overbought level then you could do that. Let me know what works well for you and if you have any suggestions for how to further improve upon this script. I have included darker colors to show stronger signals and lighter colors to show normal signals. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.
I have a bunch of backlogged scripts that I'm trying to publish, so I figured I would focus on my RSI scripts since I have a bunch, so be prepared to see a bunch of those over the next week or so. Let me know if there are any other scripts you would like to see me publish!
Reverse Engineering RSI II - EMARSI and SMARSIThis is the Reverse Engineering EMARSI and SMARSI Indicator.
It’s based on the work of Giorgos Siligardos on Reverse Engineering RSI.
The Reverse Engineering EMARSI and SMARSI Indicator shows the Exponential Moving Average and the Simple Moving Average of the RSI line but plotted in the price chart.
This script is also a complement of "Reverse Engineering RSI, by Giorgos Siligardos" script by HPotter but can also be used alone.
By default the RevEngSMARSI is turned off.
The RevEngEMARSI is the white line.
I’ve also added to the indicator:
1) Simple Moving Average (MA) of the EMARSI (EMARSI SMA) - Orange Line
2) Standard Deviation Bands for the EMARSI SMA - turned off by default
Using the settings I left in default (Length's = 1), we can see that when the EMARSI SMA is horizontal the price rises and so does the EMARSI. Also when the EMARSI SMA rises that's a signal that there is a resistance/support at that price. We can observe such thing if we draw horizontal lines at those prices. We can use this to help us put stop-losses and take profits. Also, those resistance/suport prices are ALWAYS the closing price of the first red candle after a bullish trend (big or small trends). Interesting...
When the EMARSI SMA rises and touches the EMARSI 3 things can happen:
- Bullish Trend slows down
- Correction of price
- Trend reversal
So, when the EMARSI SMA rises that can be interpreted as a signal for taking profits.
We should always wait for the price to close in the timeframe we're using, because sometimes the EMARSI SMA rises before the closing price and flattens again when is about to close.
However we should never take decisions based on 1 indicator. Our trading decision should always take in consideration multiple sources of information.
Of course we can use other settings for the trading. And if we do that we will observe different behaviours. And we should also study those behaviours. We can then use the crosses between the lines.
If there is something wrong with the code or its calculations, please let me know.
If you want to modify or improve the code, feel free to do that, but please let me know the changes you made.
This Indicator works in all timeframes. I hope you enjoy it!
[EDU] RSI Momentum BandsRSI Momentum Bands serve a purpose to find best RSI momentum for entering a trade.
Indicator is built simply:
1st RSI MA is smoothed RSI by little period, 2nd RSI MA is smoothed RSI by a bigger period.
Then we calculate standard deviation from the 2nd MA and make upper and lower band.
The rules for trades are simple:
When RSI is above higher band - Buy ;
When RSI is below lower band - Sell .
The indicator is for educational purposes only to present trades a momentum bands concepts, widely used across professionals.
Hope you will find it helpful.
Take your profits!

Fed Net Liquidity Indicator v2Updated script for jlb05013's original Fed Net Liquidity Indicator. TradingView was bringing in the FRED data in different units than they used to. This code fixes it.
This indicator aims to present a "Net Liquidity" indicator comprised of the Fed Balance sheet , less the TGA account and Overnight Reverse REPO agreements.
Net Liquidity = Fed Balance Sheet - ( TGA + Reverse REPO)
This is an overlay that can be added to stock or other charts (like SPY ) to see how the market may appear correlated to Net Liquidity - injection of liquidity into the markets.
This was hypothesized by Max Anderson, this is just a script realizing that posting.
New updates include a resolution feature, and an option to offset backwards by 2 days per original intent.
RRP DailyA simple script showing US reverse repurchase agreements and Federal Treasury balance values from FRED.
This script should give a neat overview of how little faith there is in the markets from how much cash is parked in ORRPs.
I made this a while ago as a private script so here it is as a public script.
The indicator is locked to the 1 Day resolution.
ATR Trend Bands [Misu]█ This indicator shows an upper and lower band based on price action and ATR (Average True Range)
The average true range (ATR) is a market volatility indicator used in technical analysis.
█ Usages:
The purpose of this indicator is to identify changes in trends and price action.
It is mainly used to identify breaking points and trend reversals.
But it can also be used to show resistance or support levels.
█ Features:
> Buy & Sell Alerts
> Buy & Sell Labels
> Color Bars
> Show Bands
█ Parameters:
Length: Length is used to calculate ATR.
Atr Multiplier: A factor used to balance the impact of the ATR on the Trend Bands calculation.
Reverse Ehler Instantaneous Trendline - TraderHalaiThis script uses a reverse function of the famous Ehler Instantaneous Trendline to calculate the source price required in order to change from Bullish to bearish
From my analysis, the reverse price does appear to be rather choppy, though it is 100% accurate. This is because Ehler's Instantaneous Trendline tends to remain trending for longer periods of time with above average hold periods.
The main suitability for this would be higher level timeframes, such as Weekly, 5 daily, 3 daily. From my findings Smoothed Heikin Ashi Trend, tends to provide better risk-adjusted returns across most timeframes (Higher return to drawdown ratio)
As I have spent a bit of time getting the reverse function mathematics to work, I decided to publish this as open source for the benefit, scrutiny and for further development by the TradingView community anyways.
Enjoy!

Reverse Stoch [BApig Gift] - on PanelMssive credit to Motgench, Balipour and Wugamlo for this script. This script is all of their good work.
It is basically just the non-on chart version which I've slightly tweaked off their script. This can be useful to reduce the clutter on the chart itself. Releasing it in the hope that it can be useful for the community
Enjoy!
Heikin Ashi OscillatorThis indicator plots a delta between the Heiken Ashi close price and the regular candlestick closing price as a histogram, which allows you to quickly analyse changes in trend
direction.
It also provides a reverse-engineered closing price for regular candlesticks, to reach in order to maintain the momentum, which allows you to be forewarned of potential pivot points to change in bias in direction.
Feel free to use this indicator to modify and add to your charts as you wish.
Reverse Moving Average Convergence Divergence [CC]The Reverse Macd was created by Johnny Dough (Stocks and Commodities Jan 2012) and this is another indicator in my ongoing series to find those hidden gems. This indicator works in a few very powerful ways. For example the blue line shows you what the current price would be if the macd was at the macd level that you choose. I set the default to 0 but feel free to change it if you want. This will give you short to medium term info by telling you if it is an uptrend when the price is above the blue line or vice versa. It also creates the reverse macd line and it's signal line by using information from the previous day to decompile the macd and show you the price that it would be at if the macd was at that level. It turns this into a new moving average that closely tracks price movements and with the two competing signals, gives you more than enough info to find the perfect entry and exit points. Like always I have included strong buy and sell signals in addition to normal ones so darker colors are strong signals and lighter colors are normal signals. Buy when the line is green and sell when it is red.
Let me know if there are any other scripts you would like to see me publish!

Thank you.
Ultimate Momentum Indicator [CC]This is a custom indicator of mine loosely based on the work by Steve J Godwin & Louisa C Schneider (Stocks and Commodities Feb 2021 pg 22) and this works pretty well at anticipating future price swings as the momentum falls. The idea I was going for was to introduce the idea of reversals in combination with a momentum indicator so you can better identify peaks and valleys. I have included strong buy and signals in addition to normal ones so darker colors are the strong buy and sell signals and lighter colors are the normal ones. I would recommend to buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red.
Let me know if there are any other indicators you would like me to publish!
CT Reverse True Strength Indicator On ChartIntroducing the Caretakers “On Chart” Reverse True Strength Index.
According to Wikipedia….
“The True Strength Index (TSI) is a technical indicator used in the analysis of financial markets that attempts to show both trend direction and overbought/oversold conditions. It was first published William Blau in 1991.
The indicator uses moving averages of the underlying momentum of a financial instrument.
Momentum is considered a leading indicator of price movements, and a moving average characteristically lags behind price.
The TSI combines these characteristics to create an indication of price and direction more in sync with market turns than either momentum or moving average.”
The TSI has a normal range of values between +100 and -100.
Traditionally traders and analysts will consider:
Positives values above 25 to indicate an “overbought” condition
Negative values below -25 to indicate an “oversold” condition
I have reverse engineered the True Strength Index formula to derive 2 new functions.
1) The reverse TSI function is dual purpose which can be used to calculate….
The chart price at which the TSI will reach a particular TSI scale value.
The chart price at which the TSI will equal its previous value.
2) The reverse TSI signal cross function can be used to calculate the chart price at which the TSI will cross its signal line.
I have employed these functions here to return the price levels where the True Strength Index would equal :
Upper alert level ( default 25 )
Zero-Line
Lower alert level ( default -25 )
Previous TSI (eq) value
TSI signal line
In this “On Chart” version of the reverse True Strength Index the crossover levels are displayed both as lines on the chart and via an optional info-box with choice of user selected info.
Chart Line Colors
Upper alert level... ( Fuchsia )
Zero-Line............ ( White )
Lower alert level... ( Aqua )
TSI (eq)...............( TSI (eq) > close..Orange, TSI (eq) < close..Lime )
TSI signal line........( Signal Cross Line > Close..Aqua, Signal Cross Line < Close..Fuchsia )
How to interpret the displayed prices returned from the TSI scale zero line and upper and lower alert levels.
Closing exactly at the given price will cause the True Strength Index value to equal the scale value.
Closing above the given price will cause the True Strength Index to cross above the scale value.
Closing below the given price will cause the True Strength Index to cross below the scale value.
How to interpret the displayed price returned from the TSI (eq)
Closing exactly at the price will cause the True Strength Index value to equal the previous TSI value.
Closing above the price will cause the True Strength Index value to increase.
Closing below the price will cause the True Strength Index value to decrease.
How to interpret the displayed price returned from the TSI signal line crossover.
Closing exactly at the given price will cause the True Strength Index value to equal the signal line.
Closing above the given price will cause the True Strength Index to cross above the signal line.
Closing below the given price will cause the True Strength Index to cross below the signal line.
Common methods to derive signals from the TSI :
Zero-line crossovers
When the CMO crosses above the zero-line, a buy signal is generated.
When the CMO crosses below the zero-line, a sell signal is generated.
“Overbought” and “Oversold” crossovers
When the SMI crosses below -25 and then moves back above it, a buy signal is generated.
When the SMI crosses above +25 and then moves back below it, a sell signal is generated.
What Does the True Strength Index (TSI) Tell You?
The indicator is primarily used to identify overbought and oversold conditions in an asset's price, spot divergence, identify trend direction and changes via the zero-line, and highlight short-term price momentum with signal line crossovers.
Since the TSI is based on price movements, oversold and overbought levels will vary by the asset being traded. Some stocks may reach +30 and -30 before tending to see price reversals, while another stock may reverse near +20 and -20.
Mark extreme TSI levels, on the asset being traded, to see where overbought and oversold is. Being oversold doesn't necessarily mean it is time to buy, and when an asset is overbought it doesn't necessarily mean it is time to sell. Traders will typically watch for other signals to trigger a trade decision. For example, they may wait for the price or TSI to start dropping before selling in overbought territory. Alternatively, they may wait for a signal line crossover.
Signal Line Crossovers
The true strength index has a signal line, which is usually a seven- to 13-period EMA of the TSI line. A signal line crossover occurs when the TSI line crosses the signal line. When the TSI crosses above the signal line from below, that may warrant a long position. When the TSI crosses below the signal line from above, that may warrant selling or short selling.
Signal line crossovers occur frequently, so should be utilized only in conjunction with other signals from the TSI. For example, buy signals may be favoured when the TSI is above the zero-line. Or sell signals may be favoured when the TSI is in overbought territory.
Zero-line Crossovers
The zero-line crossover is another signal the TSI generates. Price momentum is positive when the indicator is above zero and negative when it is below zero. Some traders use the zero-line for a directional bias. For example, a trader may decide only to enter a long position if the indicator is above its zero-line. Conversely, the trader would be bearish and only consider short positions if the indicator's value is below zero.
Breakouts and Divergence
Traders can use support and resistance levels created by the true strength index to identify breakouts and price momentum shifts. For instance, if the indicator breaks below a trendline, the price may see continued selling.
Divergence is another tool the TSI provides. If the price of an asset is moving higher, while the TSI is dropping, that is called bearish divergence and could result in a downside price move. If the TSI is rising while the price is falling, that could signal higher prices to come. This is called bullish divergence.
Divergence is a poor timing signal, so it should only be used in conjunction with other signals generated by the TSI or other technical indicators.
The Difference Between the True Strength Index (TSI) and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) Indicator.
The TSI is smoothing price changes to create a technical oscillator. The moving average convergence divergence (MACD) indicator is measuring the separation between two moving averages. Both indicators are used in similar ways for trading purposes, yet they are not calculated the same and will provide different signals at different times.
The Limitations of Using the True Strength Index (TSI)
Many of the signals provided by the TSI will be false signals. That means the price action will be different than expected following a trade signal. For example, during an uptrend, the TSI may cross below the zero-line several times, but then the price proceeds higher even though the TSI indicates momentum has shifted down.
Signal line crossovers also occur so frequently that they may not provide a lot of trading benefit. Such signals need to be heavily filtered based on other elements of the indicator or through other forms of analysis. The TSI will also sometimes change direction without price changing direction, resulting in trade signals that look good on the TSI but continue to lose money based on price.
Divergence also tends to unreliable on the indicator. Divergence can last so long that it provides little insight into when a reversal will actually occur. Also, divergence isn't always present when price reversals actually do occur.
The TSI should only be used in conjunction with other forms of analysis, such as price action analysis and other technical indicators.
This is not financial advice, use at your own risk.

“The True Strength Index (TSI) is a technical indicator used in the analysis of financial markets that attempts to show both trend direction and overbought/oversold conditions. It was first published William Blau in 1991.
The indicator uses moving averages of the underlying momentum of a financial instrument.
Momentum is considered a leading indicator of price movements, and a moving average characteristically lags behind price.
The TSI combines these characteristics to create an indication of price and direction more in sync with market turns than either momentum or moving average.”
The TSI has a normal range of values between +100 and -100.
Traditionally traders and analysts will consider:
Positives values above 25 to indicate an “overbought” condition
Negative values below -25 to indicate an “oversold” condition
I have reverse engineered the True Strength Index formula to derive 2 new functions.
The reverse TSI function is dual purpose which can be used to calculate….
The chart price at which the TSI will reach a particular TSI scale value.
The chart price at which the TSI will equal its previous value.
The reverse TSI signal cross function can be used to calculate the chart price at which the TSI will cross its signal line.
I have employed these functions here to return the price levels where the True Strength Index would equal :
Upper alert level ( default 25 )
Zero-Line
Lower alert level ( default -25 )
Previous TSI (eq) value.
TSI signal line
These crossover levels are displayed via an optional info-box with choice of user selected info.
How to interpret the displayed prices returned from the TSI scale zero line and upper and lower alert levels.
Closing exactly at the given price will cause the True Strength Index value to equal the scale value.
Closing above the given price will cause the True Strength Index to cross above the scale value.
Closing below the given price will cause the True Strength Index to cross below the scale value.
How to interpret the displayed price returned from the TSI (eq)
Closing exactly at the price will cause the True Strength Index value to equal the previous TSI value.
Closing above the price will cause the True Strength Index value to increase.
Closing below the price will cause the True Strength Index value to decrease.
How to interpret the displayed price returned from the TSI signal line crossover.
Closing exactly at the given price will cause the True Strength Index value to equal the signal line.
Closing above the given price will cause the True Strength Index to cross above the signal line.
Closing below the given price will cause the True Strength Index to cross below the signal line.
Common methods to derive signals from the TSI :
Zero-line crossovers
When the CMO crosses above the zero-line, a buy signal is generated.
When the CMO crosses below the zero-line, a sell signal is generated.
“Overbought” and “Oversold” crossover
When the SMI crosses below -25 and then moves back above it, a buy signal is generated.
When the SMI crosses above +25 and then moves back below it, a sell signal is generated.
What Does the True Strength Index (TSI) Tell You?
The indicator is primarily used to identify overbought and oversold conditions in an asset's price, spot divergence, identify trend direction and changes via the zero-line, and highlight short-term price momentum with signal line crossovers.
Since the TSI is based on price movements, oversold and overbought levels will vary by the asset being traded. Some stocks may reach +30 and -30 before tending to see price reversals, while another stock may reverse near +20 and -20.
Mark extreme TSI levels, on the asset being traded, to see where overbought and oversold is. Being oversold doesn't necessarily mean it is time to buy, and when an asset is overbought it doesn't necessarily mean it is time to sell. Traders will typically watch for other signals to trigger a trade decision. For example, they may wait for the price or TSI to start dropping before selling in overbought territory. Alternatively, they may wait for a signal line crossover.
Signal Line Crossovers
The true strength index has a signal line, which is usually a seven- to 13-period EMA of the TSI line. A signal line crossover occurs when the TSI line crosses the signal line. When the TSI crosses above the signal line from below, that may warrant a long position. When the TSI crosses below the signal line from above, that may warrant selling or short selling.
Signal line crossovers occur frequently, so should be utilized only in conjunction with other signals from the TSI. For example, buy signals may be favoured when the TSI is above the zero-line. Or sell signals may be favoured when the TSI is in overbought territory.
Zero-line Crossovers
The zero-line crossover is another signal the TSI generates. Price momentum is positive when the indicator is above zero and negative when it is below zero. Some traders use the zero-line for a directional bias. For example, a trader may decide only to enter a long position if the indicator is above its zero-line. Conversely, the trader would be bearish and only consider short positions if the indicator's value is below zero.
Breakouts and Divergence
Traders can use support and resistance levels created by the true strength index to identify breakouts and price momentum shifts. For instance, if the indicator breaks below a trendline, the price may see continued selling.
Divergence is another tool the TSI provides. If the price of an asset is moving higher, while the TSI is dropping, that is called bearish divergence and could result in a downside price move. If the TSI is rising while the price is falling, that could signal higher prices to come. This is called bullish divergence.
Divergence is a poor timing signal, so it should only be used in conjunction with other signals generated by the TSI or other technical indicators.
The Difference Between the True Strength Index (TSI) and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) Indicator.
The TSI is smoothing price changes to create a technical oscillator. The moving average convergence divergence (MACD) indicator is measuring the separation between two moving averages. Both indicators are used in similar ways for trading purposes, yet they are not calculated the same and will provide different signals at different times.
The Limitations of Using the True Strength Index (TSI)
Many of the signals provided by the TSI will be false signals. That means the price action will be different than expected following a trade signal. For example, during an uptrend, the TSI may cross below the zero-line several times, but then the price proceeds higher even though the TSI indicates momentum has shifted down.
Signal line crossovers also occur so frequently that they may not provide a lot of trading benefit. Such signals need to be heavily filtered based on other elements of the indicator or through other forms of analysis. The TSI will also sometimes change direction without price changing direction, resulting in trade signals that look good on the TSI but continue to lose money based on price.
Divergence also tends to unreliable on the indicator. Divergence can last so long that it provides little insight into when a reversal will actually occur. Also, divergence isn't always present when price reversals actually do occur.
The TSI should only be used in conjunction with other forms of analysis, such as price action analysis and other technical indicators.
