Description & Settings
Witold Wozniak
Stochastic RSI is a standard , the values of which are calculated not from a price series but from technical indicator values.
Standard RSI may not show market cycles or volatility changes. In case the market enters trend state, RSI often is not able to reach the appropriate level that can trigger position opening signal according to the trend direction. Implementation of Stochastic oscillator to RSI creates a dynamic indicator that better corresponds to its current volatility.
The indicator is inspired by John Ehlers' article published in November 2002 in the magazine. The simplest method of working with this indicator is completely equivalent to Stochastic oscillator or RSI.
The indicator uses SmoothAlgorithms.mqh library classes (must be placed to the
terminal_data_folder
\MQL5\Include). Working with the classes was thoroughly described in the article .
