The RSI Cross with Alert indicator provides a visual and alert-based system for identifying momentum shifts by tracking the crossovers between a Relative Strength Index (RSI) and its Simple Moving Average (SMA).

Usage

The indicator is primarily used to identify trend changes within momentum. When the RSI line crosses above its SMA, it signifies a potential bullish momentum shift, often used as a buy signal. Conversely, when the RSI crosses below its SMA, it indicates a potential bearish momentum shift, often used as a sell signal.

The tool includes visual background fills between the RSI and the MA to highlight the current momentum state:

  • A green fill indicates the RSI is above the SMA (Bullish).
  • A red fill indicates the RSI is below the SMA (Bearish).

Details

The script calculates a standard RSI based on a user-defined period. It then applies a Simple Moving Average (SMA) to that RSI value rather than the price action itself. This smoothing technique helps filter out minor fluctuations in the RSI, providing clearer signals for trend-following strategies. The script includes built-in alert conditions for both bullish and bearish crossovers to assist traders in real-time monitoring.

Settings

  • MA 1: The period used to calculate the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
  • MA 2: The period used to calculate the Simple Moving Average (SMA) of the RSI.

FAQ

How do I interpret the RSI Cross signals?

A buy signal occurs when the blue RSI line crosses above the white SMA line, while a sell signal occurs when the RSI line crosses below the SMA.

Can I adjust the sensitivity of the alerts?

Yes, by changing the MA 1 (RSI period) and MA 2 (SMA period) settings, you can make the indicator more or less responsive to price changes.
