RSI - 5UP Overview
The "RSI - 5UP" indicator is a versatile tool that enhances the traditional Relative Strength Index (RSI) by adding smoothing options, Bollinger Bands, and divergence detection. It provides a clear visual representation of RSI levels with customizable bands and optional moving averages, helping traders identify overbought/oversold conditions and potential trend reversals through divergence signals.
Features
Customizable RSI: Adjust the RSI length and source to fit your trading style.
Overbought/Oversold Bands: Visualizes RSI levels with intuitive color-coded bands (red for overbought at 70, white for neutral at 50, green for oversold at 30).
Smoothing Options: Apply various types of moving averages (SMA, EMA, SMMA, WMA, VWMA) to the RSI, with optional Bollinger Bands for volatility analysis.
Divergence Detection: Identifies regular bullish and bearish divergences, with visual labels ("Bull" for bullish, "Bear" for bearish) and alerts.
G radient Fills: Highlights overbought and oversold zones with gradient fills (green for overbought, red for oversold).
How to Use
1. Add to Chart: Apply the "RSI - 5UP" indicator to any chart. It works well on timeframes from 5 minutes to daily.
2. Configure Settings:
RSI Settings:
RSI Length: Adjust the period for RSI calculation (default: 14).
Source: Choose the price source for RSI (default: close).
Calculate Divergence: Enable to detect bullish/bearish divergences (default: disabled).
Smoothing:
Type: Select the type of moving average to smooth the RSI ("None", "SMA", "SMA + Bollinger Bands", "EMA", "SMMA (RMA)", "WMA", "VWMA"; default: "SMA").
Length: Set the period for the moving average (default: 14).
BB StdDev: If "SMA + Bollinger Bands" is selected, adjust the standard deviation multiplier for the bands (default: 2.0).
3.Interpret the Indicator:
RSI Levels: The RSI line (purple) oscillates between 0 and 100. Levels above 70 (red band) indicate overbought conditions, while levels below 30 (green band) indicate oversold conditions. The 50 level (white band) is neutral.
Gradient Fills: The background gradients (green above 70, red below 30) highlight overbought and oversold zones for quick reference.
Moving Average (MA): If enabled, a yellow MA line smooths the RSI. If "SMA + Bollinger Bands" is selected, green bands appear around the MA to show volatility.
Divergences: If "Calculate Divergence" is enabled, look for "Bull" (green label) and "Bear" (red label) signals:
Bullish Divergence: Indicates a potential upward reversal when the price makes a lower low, but the RSI makes a higher low.
Bearish Divergence: Indicates a potential downward reversal when the price makes a higher high, but the RSI makes a lower high.
4. Set Alerts:
Use the "Regular Bullish Divergence" and "Regular Bearish Divergence" alert conditions to be notified when a divergence is detected.
Notes
The indicator does not provide direct buy/sell signals. Use the RSI levels, moving averages, and divergence signals as part of a broader trading strategy.
Divergence detection requires the "Calculate Divergence" option to be enabled and may not work on all timeframes or assets due to market noise.
The Bollinger Bands are only visible when "SMA + Bollinger Bands" is selected as the smoothing type.
