Relative Strength Index (RSI) Indicator

by

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) oscillator is a technical analysis tool that is used to measure the strength and momentum of a financial asset, such as a stock or a currency pair. It was developed by J. Welles Wilder Jr. in 1978 and is widely used by traders and investors. It is one of the most popular and helpful oscillators used in technical analysis. Their values ​​are obtained by comparing the gains against the losses of previous sessions (14 is the period recommended by Wilder).

The RSI oscillator ranges from 0 to 100, with readings above 70 indicating an overbought condition and readings below 30 indicating an oversold condition. Traders and investors use these levels to identify potential buying or selling opportunities.

The RSI oscillator is often used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools, such as moving averages and trend lines, to help confirm signals and identify potential trading opportunities.

History of the RSI oscillator

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) was developed by J. Welles Wilder Jr. and first introduced in his book “New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems” in 1978. Wilder was a mechanical engineer and trader who became interested in the stock market and technical analysis in the 1950s. He went on to develop a number of technical indicators, including the Average True Range (ATR) and the Parabolic SAR.

The original RSI formula used a 14-day period to calculate the average gains and losses. Wilder recommended using the RSI in conjunction with other technical analysis tools, such as trend lines and moving averages, to confirm signals and identify potential trading opportunities.

Since its introduction, the RSI has become one of the most widely used and popular technical indicators. It has been incorporated into many trading platforms and is used by traders and investors around the world to help identify potential buy and sell signals. Despite its popularity, the RSI, like all technical indicators, is not infallible and should be used in conjunction with other tools and analysis to make informed trading decisions.

Trading System with RSI and CCI

by

This is a simple trading technique based on the use of the indicators RSI (oscillator) and CCI (trend indicator). The author claims it is a pretty efficient system, however, I recommend to evaluate it on a demo account before risking real money. The strategy was explained in a forum on the Forex market and its author has indicated that sometimes he obtains more than 400 pips in two days with this system.

To implement the system the trader requires a candle or bar chart with a time frame of 5 minutes (the trader can use longer time frames but can be more risky). The indicators used are the RSI at 14 (it can also be used with 8 periods too) with additional levels at 45 and 50 and the CCI with 14 periods. The recommended currency pairs are:

  • EUR/USD.
  • USD/CHF.
  • EUR/JPY.
  • GBP/USD.

Because it works based on oscillators and in a short time frame, the system produces false signals, which can be filtered using an indicator like the ADX at 14 for example. The MACD can also be used with a configuration of (3, 81, 29) and (3, 10, 16). Another indicator that can be used is a moving average to verify the direction of the trend. Remember that in markets with a strong tendency the oscillators produce even more false signals so it is best to trade in favor of the trend. For that an EMA can help us.
