Description & Settings
Smoothed RSI indicator. The indicator is based on moving average data.
There are seven configurable parameters:
Source period
- source data period for calculation (МА)
Source method
- source data calculation method (МА)
Source applied price
- source data calculation price (МА)
Smoothed RSI period
- smoothing period
Smoothed RSI method
- smoothing method
Top level
- upper level
Bottom level
- lower level
Calculation:
SmRSI = 100.0-(100.0 / (1.0+AvgPositive / AvgNegative))
where:
AvgPositive = MA(Pos, Smoothed RSI period, Smoothed RSI method)AvgNegative = MA(Neg, Smoothed RSI period, Smoothed RSI method)
If Diff > 0Pos = Diff, Neg = 0
If Diff < 0Pos = 0, Neg = -Diff
Diff = MA - CloseMA - MA(Source applied price, Source period, Source method)
Compared to standard RSI, this indicator has a feature: When the price falls, SmRSI rises and vice versa.
