    RSI is the relative strength index

    it smooths the calculations for RS of an asset.

    First find the gain or loss from taking current near - previous close

    you need to take a period of N profits and get the average first of the profits
    then do the same with the losses. After you've got Typical of profits for X interval and average of losses for X period, you'll need to split

    there's where the smoothing comes in, he uses the same smoothing formula because his ATR. Where he chooses (the average of 13 previous current)/ 14 for the RS

    to get the calculation for the RSI = 100-(100/1 RS) this can provide you the constant smoothing effect.

    Currently readings over 70 imply that the markets profits have been out performing the average losses for an extended time period (this can imply that mean reversion will happen but it may also indie a strong upward tendency)

    reading under 30 indie a market that's been falling for an extended time period.


    RSI alone can not be profitable because here is the problem =
    a contrarian position on a market that's been moving upwards via RSI is basically the same as seeing an outlier from normal volatility in an attempt to capture the mean reversion, or pull back.

    The problem lies when actually is not an outlier however a powerful directional movement.

    Yeah, most of us use RSI sooner or later, some of us more frequently than others to gauge if a currency is overbought or oversold..and that's about it.

    I've a bit of a love-hate thing with RSI - overbought and oversold readings can be seriously wrong in a trending market. But have been getting some good results using RSI lately with a new egy. Even then though - I still have to watch out for tendencies.
