This indicator combines elements of the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Rate of Change (RoC) to provide a smoother and potentially more insightful view of market momentum and price movement. The Smooth RSI [MarktQuant] calculates RSI values across four price points (high, open, low, close) to average them, offering a less volatile RSI signal. Additionally, it incorporates a Rate of Change for trend confirmation, enhancing the decision-making process for trade entries and exits.
Features:
Multi-RSI Calculation: RSI is computed for high, open, low, and close prices, then averaged to reduce noise.
Trend Confirmation with RoC: Uses the Rate of Change to validate the RSI signals, coloring bars based on the trend direction.
Visual Signals:
Bar colors change based on combined RSI and RoC signals.
Green for bullish signals (RSI above 50 and positive RoC).
Red for bearish signals (RSI below 50 and negative RoC).
Horizontal lines at 30, 50, and 70 to denote overbought, neutral, and oversold conditions.
