The RSI Overlay indicator is a powerful tool that transforms your trading charts into colored candles based on the Relative Strength Index (RSI) data. It's a great way to get a quick visual cue on market momentum.

Adjustable Parameters

This indicator comes with five customizable settings that allow you to tailor it to your trading style:

  • Data RSI Compare Mode
    • RSI vs Level 50: The RSI line is compared to the level 50.
      • If the RSI is above 50, bullish candles appear in green and bearish candles in light green.
      • If it's below 50, bearish candles turn red and bullish ones light red.
    • RSI vs OB/OS Levels: This mode looks at overbought and oversold levels.
      • If the RSI is above the overbought level, bullish candles are green while bearish candles are light green.
      • If it's below the oversold level, bearish candles are red and bullish ones light red.
    • Current and Previous RSI Values: This comparison shows the current and previous RSI values.
      • If the RSI values are rising, bullish candles are green and bearish candles are light green.
      • If the values are falling, bearish candles turn red and bullish ones light red.
  • RSI Period: Set the period for RSI calculations.
  • RSI Applied Price: Choose the price you want the RSI to be based on.
  • RSI Overbought Level: Specify your overbought threshold.
  • RSI Oversold Level: Specify your oversold threshold.

Visual Representation

Here's how the indicator visually represents different market conditions:

  • If the RSI is above the overbought level, bullish candles are colored green, with light green for bearish candles.
  • If the RSI is below the oversold level, bearish candles are red, and bullish ones are light red.
  • In all other scenarios, the candles appear gray for neutral signals.
