Chaos Weighted RSI
By LuxAlgoFeb 9, 2026
Chaos Weighted RSI is an indicator on Vela, our next-generation charting platform, written in Pine Script®.
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.
