RSI+ (Overbought/Oversold Indicator)

The RSI+ (Overbought/Oversold Indicator) tool identifies and highlights extreme market conditions by plotting signals directly on the price chart when the Relative Strength Index crosses user-defined thresholds.

Usage

The Usage section focuses on identifying potential exhaustion points or trend strength. When the RSI value crosses above the "Overbought" threshold, a red downward triangle appears above the bar, suggesting the market may be overextended to the upside. Conversely, when the RSI crosses below the "Oversold" threshold, a green upward triangle appears below the bar, indicating the market may be overextended to the downside.

These signals are commonly used for:

• Identifying potential exit points for existing trades.
• Anticipating pullbacks or mean-reversion moves.
• Confirming the presence of high-momentum impulsive trends.

Details

The script calculates a standard Relative Strength Index (RSI) based on the closing price of the bars. Unlike traditional RSI oscillators that appear in a separate pane, this indicator overlays signals directly on the main chart for better visual integration with price action. It includes a specific toggle for real-time calculation to control how signals appear on active bars versus historical data.

Settings

• RSI Length: Determines the number of bars used to calculate the RSI (default is 14).
• RSI Overbought: Sets the upper threshold value (default is 70) that triggers an overbought signal.
• RSI Oversold: Sets the lower threshold value (default is 30) that triggers an oversold signal.
• Draw On Real-Time Bars: A boolean toggle that controls whether signals should be plotted on the current, unconfirmed live bar.
