The RSX is typically used in conjunction with predefined levels or signal lines. While some traders prefer using levels, others opt for signal lines. The choice often depends on individual trading styles.This indicator presents a version that combines both approaches.
Discontinued Signal Lines Concept
The core idea is straightforward: when the RSX value is above the central value (typically 50), only the upper signal line is calculated, and the lower signal line inherits its value. Conversely, when the RSX value falls below the central value, the lower signal line is calculated, and the upper signal line inherits its value.
This method creates a hybrid approach, blending the features of levels and signal lines without altering the RSX's core calculation.
Advantages over individual methods include mitigating certain issues encountered with trend following when using signal lines alone.
Extensive testing is recommended to ascertain its effectiveness for your specific trading strategy. This version was last updated in 2026.
