  • How to Trade Trends with RSI

    From dailyfx.com

RSI was never created to show "overbought/oversold" conditions. It's primary purpose is to measure divergence. Also like all oscillators, it oscillates btw 100 and 0 no matter the trend, thus making it a range indicator pinpointing the divergence with the price action. Very misleading article.
very good article, RSI is the one of the popular indicator, i just test RSI 2 on daily tf crossing the 50 level bullish RSI2 > 50 > Bearish RSI2 below the 50, scalping on the smaller TF by using the signal RSI from higher TF then you can take the good result for your trade..... cheer
Has some one seen a cumulative MT4 RSI, I've tried to find Larry Connors RSI for MT4 but only downloaded not working or are fake indicators. Maybe someone know where I can find it or program this indicator. Comments to discussion above, this indicator is for trend trading and it indicate the end of pullbacks and throwbacks. This is counter trends moves which are short lived, and this indicator show when the counter trend is exhausted and the longer term trend resumes. And the for probity exploration he using 200 sma as a trend indicator.
