RSI buy sell force ver 1
Oct 29, 2020

The RSI buy sell force ver 1 indicator is a momentum-based tool designed to visualize the relative strength between buying and selling pressure using a multi-timeframe RSI approach. It provides a clear visual representation of market sentiment by decomposing RSI movements into two distinct force lines, allowing traders to identify bullish and bearish periods based on their intersections.
Usage
The indicator can be used to identify trend direction and potential reversal points. Traders typically look for the relationship between the green line (CC) and the red line (BB):
- Bullish Period: When the green line (CC) is above the red line (BB), it indicates a period of dominant buying force.
- Bearish Period: When the red line (BB) is above the green line (CC), it suggests a period of dominant selling force.
- Zero Line Cross: The interaction of these lines with the zero level can also serve as a signal; values above zero generally indicate positive momentum, while values below zero indicate negative momentum.
- Average Line: A central average line is plotted to provide a baseline for the overall trend strength.
Details
The script utilizes a Higher Timeframe (HTF) anchor to calculate the Relative Strength Index (RSI). Unlike standard security-based MTF scripts, this version uses a logic that captures the close of the specified higher timeframe to maintain data integrity. It calculates the difference between the RSI and its Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to derive the "buy" and "sell" force components (CC and BB). By expanding the variance between the RSI and its average, the indicator highlights subtle shifts in momentum that might be missed on a standard RSI plot.
Settings
- HTF: Sets the higher timeframe from which the price data is pulled for the RSI calculation (default is Weekly "W"). This allows for a macro perspective on momentum regardless of the chart's current resolution.
FAQ
How do I interpret the crossovers?
A crossover where the green line (CC) moves above the red line (BB) typically signals an increase in bullish pressure, while a crossunder where the green line moves below the red line signals increasing bearish pressure.
Can this be used on any timeframe?
Yes, the indicator is versatile and can be applied to any chart timeframe. The HTF setting should be adjusted based on your trading strategy (e.g., using a Daily HTF on an Hourly chart).
