RSI BAMM

RSI BAMM tracks Scott Carney's momentum-harmonic sequence as a staged state machine — the first faithful build of RSI BAMM. Both sides are hunted independently, a bearish M at highs and a bullish W at lows, on a gradient-filled RSI pane. When price stretches to a second extreme but the RSI cannot better its first reading, the completion zone — the first-test-to-pullback leg's 0.886 retracement out to its 1.13 extension — freezes as a box on the price chart, projected as dotted levels beforehand. A dashboard tracks each side's stage and zone.

How to Trade the RSI BAMM?

• Second Test: a fresh price extreme on softer RSI — the final leg toward the completion zone may be underway.
• Reversal Signal: price in the zone plus a confirmed RSI rollover prints the M or W label, divergence line and price triangle — the entry timing the methodology waits for.
• Exit Management: after a signal, an RSI recross of the Intermediate Level is the momentum cue to tighten or exit.
• Invalidation: a close beyond the outer 1.13 measurement voids the setup.

RSI BAMM Settings

• RSI Length (default 14) and Source (default close).
• Overbought Level (default 70) / Oversold Level (default 30): the extremes opening bearish and bullish sequences.
• Intermediate Level (default 50): a pullback crossing it voids the forming structure; after a signal it becomes the exit threshold.
• Rollover Confirmation (default 2): bars each side an RSI swing needs to confirm the failed second test.
• Structure Timeout (default 500): bars before a stale sequence is abandoned.
• Retracement Ratio (default 0.886) and Extension Ratio (default 1.13): the zone's boundaries.
• Display — Completion Zone, Projected Levels While Forming, RSI Structure Lines, Price Divergence Line, Pattern Labels, Reversal Markers, Show Dashboard (all on).

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this just RSI divergence with extra steps?

The failed second test carries the setup here too, but a plain Relative Strength Index read stops at the observation. This build demands the full staging and answers what divergence cannot: where the final leg likely ends.

Do the signals repaint?

The state machine advances on confirmed bars only, and RSI swings confirm Rollover Confirmation bars after their turn. Projected levels update as a pullback develops; once the second test triggers, the zone freezes and signals stand.

What do the eight alerts cover?

Bullish and bearish pairs of four events: Second Test on the trigger, Reversal Signal on the rollover in the zone, Exit Management on the intermediate recross, Setup Invalidated beyond the outer measurement.
