๐ Stochastic RSI
The Stochastic RSI indicator is a momentum oscillator that applies the Stochastic formula to RSI values rather than price, making it a second-derivative indicator. It is particularly useful for identifying overbought and oversold conditions with higher sensitivity than the standard RSI.
๐ ๏ธ Parameters
RSI Period: The lookback period used to calculate the base RSI (default = 14)
Stochastic Period: The lookback period applied to RSI values to compute Stochastic RSI (default = 14)
%K Period: The smoothing period for the %K line (default = 3)
%D Period: The smoothing period for the %D line (default = 3)
MA Type: Moving average type for smoothing: Simple or Exponential (default = Simple)
๐ Output Lines
- %K Line: Smoothed Stochastic RSI (blue)
- %D Line: Smoothed moving average of %K (lightblue)
Both lines oscillate between 0 and 100, allowing for clear overbought and oversold readings.
โ ๏ธ Suggested Levels
Although the indicator does not display static levels by default, users are recommended to add these manually via the โLevelsโ tab in cTrader:
- Level 80 โ Overbought
- Level 20 โ Oversold
These levels work similarly to the traditional Stochastic Oscillator but applied to RSI behavior, making the signals sharper and often faster.
๐ง How to Use
- Overbought (>80): May indicate price is overextended to the upside โ potential for reversal or consolidation.
- Oversold (<20): May signal price is oversold โ possible bounce or trend reversal.
- %K and %D Crossovers: Can be used similarly to Stochastic or MACD โ a bullish crossover below 20 or bearish crossover above 80 may be actionable.
