Relative Strength Index Wave Indicator [CC]The Relative Strength Index Wave Indicator was created by Constance Brown (Technical Analysis for the Trading Professional), and this is a unique indicator that uses the weighted close formula, but instead of using the typical price values, it uses the RSI calculated from the various prices. It then creates a rainbow by smoothing the weighted RSI with four different lengths. As far as the buy or sell signals with this indicator go, I did change things from the original source, so feel free to experiment and let me know if anything works better for you. I decided to do a variation of the original source and create buy and sell signals based on crossovers, but my version only uses the first and second smoothed RSI lines. You could also average all of the lines and buy when the average is rising and sell when it starts to fall. I have used my typical buy and sell signals to use darker colors for strong signals and lighter colors for normal signals. Because of the rainbow effect from the wave, the color changes will only appear for the bar itself when you enable that setting.
Let me know if there is any other script you would like to see me publish! I will have plenty more RSI scripts to publish in the next week. Let me know if you like this indicator series.

Constance Brown RSI*Re-uploading without House Violations*
Welles Wilder created the RSI momentum oscillator in the 1970s. It is a momentum oscillator that ranges from 0 to 100. The traditional idea is to buy when the oscillator is below 30 and to sell when it is above 70. However, this strategy often only catches extreme moves and misses majority of the trend.
In comes Constance Brown RSI . She theorized that in an uptrend, the buy zone exists when RSI is between 40 and 50. The sell zone in an uptrend exists between 80 and 90. In a downtrend, the sell zone exists between 55 and 65. The buy zone in a downtrend exists between 20 and 30.
I have added a moving average feature to determine trend. When the short trend is above the long trend, it is considered an uptrend. It is in a downtrend otherwise. Using short length moving averages will often produce a lot of false signals. I recommend using the 50 and 100 as they will produce less noise.
There will be times when the oscillator breaks beyond the ranges described (for ex: seeing a reading below 40 in an uptrend). This tends to happen in periods of high volatility . Refer to the traditional RSI rules in such cases.

Indicators: Constance Brown Composite Index & RSI+AvgsI am a big fan of Constance Brown. Her book "Technical Analysis for Trading Professionals" is an absolute classic (get the 2nd edition).
I have included here 2 of the indicators she uses in all her charts.
Composite Index
----------------------------------------
This is a formula Ms Brown developed (Cardwell may not agree!) to identify divergence failures with in the RSI. This also highlights the horizontal support levels with in the indicator area.
This index removes the normalization range restrictions in RSI. This means it is not bound with in 0-100 range. Also, this has embedded momentum calculation in it.
The fine nuances of this indicator are not documented well enough, if you find some good documentation, do let me know. Always use this with RSI (like the next one).
RSI+Avgs
----------------------------------------
This is plain 14 period RSI with a 9-period EMA and 45-period SMA overlaid.
