Constance Brown Studies
By LuxAlgoMar 5, 2026
Constance Brown Studies is an indicator on Vela, our next-generation charting platform, written in Pine Script®.
Constance Brown Studies gathers the published Constance Brown studies into one pane: the Composite Index (the 14-period RSI's 9-bar momentum added to a smoothed 3-period RSI) with its 13 and 33 period signal averages, the Derivative Oscillator histogram, and the base RSI with its operating ranges marked. The Composite's momentum term has no 0-100 bound, so it keeps traveling where RSI pins against its scale.
How to Trade the Constance Brown Studies?
- Divergence between the lines: a swing extreme where the Composite Index disagrees with RSI is the warning the unbounded scale exists to expose.
- Trigger cross: the Composite crossing its fast average is the mechanical trigger layered onto the divergence read.
- Range shift: RSI clearing 60 marks bull-range behavior, losing 40 the bear range: the regime tell.
- Histogram flip: the Derivative Oscillator crossing zero turns the momentum read; bars losing height say thrust is draining.
