Chaos Weighted RSI

Chaos Weighted RSI is a Relative Strength Index that decides for itself how much smoothing each moment deserves. A Sevcik-method fractal dimension reading scores how disorderly recent price action is: chaotic tape slows the oscillator down to mute whipsaws, while efficient trends speed it back up so momentum is tracked closely. The familiar 70/30 levels, a color-shifting line, and automatic divergence detection round out the build.

How to Trade the Chaos Weighted RSI?

  • Green line above 50: bullish momentum dominance; red below 50 flags the bearish side.
  • 70/30 extremes: classic overbought and oversold territory, with gradient fills emphasizing how deep an excursion runs.
  • Regular divergences: pivot-confirmed bullish and bearish divergences draw with markers and connecting lines, flagging potential reversals or momentum shifts.

The adaptive weighting is the point: a chaos value scaled between 0 and 1 drives the smoothing factor, so the same chart gets a slow, stable oscillator during consolidation and an agile one during expansion. Divergences inherit that stability: they form on self-smoothed pivots rather than on every minor fluctuation.

Chaos Weighted RSI Settings

  • RSI Length: base calculation period before chaos weighting applies.
  • Disorder Lookback: window used to measure chaos via the Fractal Dimension Index.
  • Weight Sensitivity: how strongly chaos bends the smoothing. Higher values smooth harder in disorderly markets.
  • Divergence Strength: bars required on each side of a pivot; larger values confirm fewer, longer-horizon divergences.
  • Show Bullish/Bearish Divergence: display toggles, alongside fill-color and background-transparency controls.
