Overbought / Oversold Screener
Jan 10, 2024

The Overbought / Oversold Screener tool monitors and displays the RSI and Stochastic values for up to 17 different symbols simultaneously on a single chart. It aims to help traders identify potential trend reversals or exhaustions across multiple instruments and timeframes through a consolidated visual interface.
Usage
The indicator displays a table containing real-time data for a user-defined list of symbols.
- Multi-Symbol Tracking: Users can track the current chart symbol plus 16 additional custom symbols. The current chart symbol is highlighted with a "(C)" suffix.
- Indicator Filtering: The table provides both RSI and Stochastic values. If a value exceeds the overbought threshold or falls below the oversold threshold, the cell color dynamically updates to reflect the market condition (typically red for overbought and green for oversold).
- Sorting: The table can be sorted by Symbol name, RSI value, or Stochastic value in ascending or descending order. Note that changing the "Sort By" setting also determines which indicator dictates the primary color highlighting for the symbol names.
- Alerts: You can configure alerts to notify you when multiple symbols simultaneously enter overbought or oversold territory, allowing for efficient monitoring of broad market conditions without manual observation.
Details
The script utilizes the request.security() function to fetch data from different symbols and timeframes. It calculates the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Stochastic Oscillator for every instrument in the list based on user-defined lengths.
The visual theme can be set to "Automatic", which leverages the background luminance of the chart to switch between dark and light modes, ensuring the table remains readable regardless of your TradingView theme settings.
