Smoothedrsi — Indicators and Strategies

Ehlers Data Sampling Relative Strength Indicator [CC]The Data Sampling Indicator was created by John Ehlers (Stocks and Commodities Mar 2023) and this is a genius method to reduce noise in the market data but also doesn't introduce any lag while doing so. The way this works is because traditionally, people have always relied on the close price as the default input for many indicators such as the RSI or MACD as examples. Since the open is usually virtually identical to the previous close, it has been ignored by most people but Ehlers discovered that if you do a simple average of open and close for the input on any indicator, you can remove much of the noise without any added lag. I have used the RSI as he did in his example and plotted both to show the difference between the traditional RSI and using Ehlers' process as the new Data Sampling RSI. You can clearly see that this new RSI follows the price fluctuations much closer and is much smoother than the traditional RSI. As usual, I have included different colors to show the strength of the buy or sell signals so darker colors mean it is a very strong signal and lighter colors means it is a normal signal. Buy when the line turns green and sell when it turns red. Feel free to try out this method to replace the input for any indicator and let me know how this works for you! And of course let me know if you would like me to publish any indicator script.

Global & local RSI / quantifytools As the terms global and local imply, global RSI describes broad relative strength, whereas local RSI describes local relative strength within the broad moves. A macro and micro view of relative strength so to speak. Global and local RSI are simply regular RSI and stochastic RSI. Local RSI extremes ( stochastic RSI oversold/overbought) often mark a pivot in RSI which naturally reflects to price. Local RSI extremes are visualized inside the global RSI bands (upper band for overbought, lower band for oversold) in a "heat map" style. By default: Stochastic RSI >= 75 = yellow Stochastic RSI >= 87 = orange Stochastic RSI >= 100 = pink Users also have the ability smooth the RSI with their preferred smoothing method ( SMA , EMA , HMA , RMA, WMA ) and length. This leads to different behavior in RSI, rendering the typical RSI extremes (> 70 or < 30) suboptimal or even useless. By enabling adaptive bands, the extremes are readjusted based on typical RSI pivot points (median pivots ), which gives much more relevant reference points for oversold/overbought conditions in both global and local RSI. This feature can be used without smoothing, but it rarely provides a meaningful difference, unless the RSI calculation length is messed with. Global RSI can be plotted as candles, bars or a line. Candles and bars can be useful for detecting rejections (wicks) in relative strength, the same you would with OHLC data. Sometimes there are "hidden rejections" that are visible in relative strength but not on OHLC data, which naturally gives an advantage. All colors can be adjusted in the input menu. You also have a real-time view of the current RSI states in top right corner. Available alerts are the following: global RSI overbought, global RSI oversold, local RSI overbought and local RSI oversold.

RSI and Smoothed RSI Bull Div Strategy [BigBitsIO]This strategy focuses on finding a low RSI value, then targeting a low Smoothed RSI value while the price is below the low RSI in the lookback period to trigger a buy signal. Features Take Profit, Stop Loss, and Plot Target inputs. As well as many inputs to manage how the RSI and Smoothed RSI are configured within the strategy. Explanation of all the inputs Take Profit %: % change in price from position entry where strategy takes profit Stop Loss %: % change in price from position entry where strategy stops losses RSI Lookback Period: # of candles used to calculate RSI Buy Below Lowest Low In RSI Divergence Lookback Target %: % change in price from lowest RSI candle in divergence lookback if set Source of Buy Below Target Price: Source of price (close, open, high, low, etc..) used to calculated buy below % Smoothed RSI Lookback Period: # of candles used to calculate RSI RSI Currently Below: Value the current RSI must be below to trigger a buy RSI Divergence Lookback Period: # of candles used to lookback for lowest RSI in the divergence lookback period RSI Lowest In Divergence Lookback Currently Below: Require the lowest RSI in the divergence lookback to be below this value RSI Sell Above: If take profit or stop loss is not hit, the position will sell when RSI rises above this value Minimum SRSI Downtrend Length: Require that the downtrend length of the SRSI be this value or higher to trigger a buy Smoothed RSI Currently Below: Value the current SRSI must be below to trigger a buy
