RSI PRECISION v.3

9 thg 10, 2023

RSI PRECISION v.3 (MACD, StochRSI, SMA Signals)
Developed by Giorgos Protonotarios (2021-2023)

RSI PRECISION is an alternative to the classic Relative Strength Index (RSI). The indicator aims to enhance the classic RSI and make it more accurate on longer timeframes. Additionally, the indicator works as an advanced signaling machine, offering five different categories of leading trading signals. RSI PRECISION is an ideal tool for analyzing highly volatile markets, such as cryptocurrency and small-cap stocks.

In this 3rd version, the core formula remains the same, however, there are new trading signals and a great number of new parameters. Traders have the opportunity to fully customize the indicator according to their needs.

What is new?
The RSI formula remains the same, however, there are additional features:
• Selected StochRSI signals
• Low-timeframe SMA signal (<60 minutes)
• High-timeframe SMA signal (>60 minutes)
• SMA on the RSI PRECISION readings
• Ability to customize everything in settings (tooltips added)

Note: You can turn off any trading signal by unselecting it in Settings>Style.

□ NEW TRADING SIGNALS (v.3)

■ SELECTED STOCHRSI SIGNALS

The selected StochRSI signals are visualized by a cross (+) on the top and bottom of the indicator. The settings for StochRSI are the classic 8.5.3 (customizable). By default, the crossover is generated when StochRSI crosses above 25, and the crossunder when StochRSI crosses below 75.

(i) Bullish StochRSI cross
• Symbol: Cross (+) on the Top
• Event: StochRSI crosses above level 25
(ii) Bearish StochRSI cross
• Symbol: Cross (+) on the Bottom
• Event: StochRSI crosses below level 75

■ SMA CROSSOVERS (LOW/HIGH TIMEFRAMES)

These trading signals are generated when the price of an asset crosses above or below a preset SMA.
There are two different SMAs, one shown on low timeframes, and one on high timeframes. You can adjust the periods for both, by default 200 periods.

(i) Low-Timeframe SMA Cross (<60 minutes)
• Symbol: Bullish (↥) on the top of the indicator and bearish (↧) on the bottom
• Event: The price crosses above or below the selected SMA on low timeframes
(ii) High-Timeframe SMA Cross (>60 minutes)
• Symbol: Bullish (↥) on the top of the indicator and bearish (↧) on the bottom
• Event: The price crosses above or below the selected SMA on high timeframes

■ SMA LINE ON RSI PRECISION

This is just a simple SMA line on the RSI PRECISION readings. By default, it is set at 50 periods.
• SMA Line (blue-dashed)
You can turn it off by unselecting it in Settings>Style.

□ OLDER TRADING SIGNALS

The 3rd version of RSI PRECISION also includes all previous signals.

■ RSI PRECISION CROSSES

This signal corresponds to a bullish/bearish RSI PRECISION cross. By default, it is 5 for a bullish crossover and 100 for a bearish crossunder. These numbers are indicative and can be customized.

(i) Bullish RSI PRECISION Cross
• Symbol: Green arrow (▲) on the Top
• Event: RSI PRECISION crosses above level 5
(ii) Bearish RSI PRECISION Cross
• Symbol: Red arrow (▼) on the Bottom
• Event: RSI PRECISION crosses below level 100

■ MACD CROSSOVER SIGNALS

The MACD signals are visualized by a green/red dot (•). The default settings are the standard MACD settings (12,6,9).

(i) Bullish MACD cross
• Symbol: Green Dot (•) on the Top
• Event: MACD crosses above its signal line
(ii) Bearish MACD cross
• Symbol: Red Dot (•) on the Bottom
• Event: MACD crosses below its signal line

NOTE: In lower timeframes, MACD generates too many signals. You can switch off “MACD BULLISH & BEARISH CROSSOVERS” by clicking on ‘SETTINGS’, then ‘STYLE’, and then unselecting ‘Bullish MACD Cross’ and ‘Bearish MACD Cross’.

■ GOLDEN/DEATH CROSSES (SMA CROSSOVERS)

The cross of the 50-day moving average above the 200-day moving average is called a golden cross, and it is considered a bullish signal. The cross of the 50-day moving average below the 200-day moving average is called a death cross, and it is considered a bearish signal.
The Golden/Death crosses are visualized by (X). By default, 50 periods for the fast SMA and 200 periods for the slow SMA (both are customizable).

(i) Bullish SMA Cross
• Symbol: (X) on the Top
• Event: The fast SMA crosses above the Slow SMA
(ii) Bearish RSI Cross
• Symbol: (X) on the Bottom
• Event: The fast SMA crosses below the Slow SMA

□ More about the Indicator

■ MISSION

Enhancing the classic Relative Strength Index (RSI) and making it more accurate on longer timeframes, during choppy market conditions, and especially near market tops/bottoms.

■ OBJECTIVES

(1) Creating a better RSI that works as an “All-in-one” indicator
(2) Identifying overbought/oversold market levels in a simple and user-friendly manner
(3) Making precise calculations near market tops and bottoms, where price volatility is always booming
(4) Making precise calculations on longer timeframes (weekly, monthly) where the classic RSI readings are hardly readable
(5) Offering five different categories of trading signals (RSI, StochRSI, MACD, Golden/Death Crosses, SMAs) in a single indicator

■ RSI PRECISION CALCULATIONS

The RSI PRECISION formula consists of three (3) different components:
(a) Relative Strength Index component (the classic RSI)
(b) Periodic Price Volatility component (PPV, essential)
(c) RSI Volatility component (less important)

RSI PRECISION FORMULA ADJUSTMENTS

(i) CLASSIC RSI
This measurement corresponds to the classic RSI. If the other two components of the formula are set to zero (0%), then by entering 100% here, the RSI PRECISION becomes identical to the classic RSI.
-By default, 100%

(ii) PERIODIC PRICE VOLATILITY -PPV
The Periodic Price Volatility (PPV) is an advanced measurement of price volatility and an essential component of the core RSI PRECISION formula. You can easily adjust the weight of PPV in the formula.
-By default, 100%

(iii) RSI VOLATILITY
This is an extra measurement of volatility. This time the focus is exclusively on periodic RSI volatility, not on price volatility.
-By default, 5%

■ FINAL THOUGHTS

RSI PRECISION v.3 is an improved RSI indicator offering five leading trading signals. Everything is combined in one place to create an all-in-one TA tool. I have been using it as my only indicator for quite some time.

As always, happy trading, and remember, if you want to rule the world, create code, not war.
