Thread: Using RSI to Gauge Trends

Fashion direction or bias is the only thing I use RSI for. I take my long-term direction about the alignment of the RSI on two time frames.

Trade safe and prosper.

If that's the case, can you explain it a little bit longer on how you are using it? And what about success/failure you realized using it?

As a swing trader, I really don't want to go contrary to a direction in which the RSI on weekly and monthly time frames are aligned.

Trade thrive and safe.

What period would you use for rsi?

Weekly and monthly time frames have been aligned - does this usually means that both of these over 50 for long bias/below 50 for short? I'd been thinking of the same actually. The rsi performed around 50 region and will whipsaw when we rely on 1 tf. Better result is produced by it, when we rely on the higher tf along with 1tf.

I'm generally reluctant to take a trade if the greater timeframes aren't in my path, and like to see that the 1Min timeframe turn in the path of the trade. This shows them all.

The setting might be the 14 interval that is normal but I utilize 21. Really it does not matter but I believe that it should not be excessively short. I look for slope.

The rsi will whipsaw and performed around 50 region when we rely heavily on 1 tf. If we rely on the high tf and 1tf, it produce outcome. quote

It is possible to see at the right hand side of this chart - the trends remain down for the time. If rsi below 50, the means to do this is - the trend is down. If rsi over 50 - the trend is up. The interval can be 13 or 11. What I wanted to know is - is there anyone using rsi into deternine trend? Any sharing would be appreciated.

RSI ... my favorite momentum indior.

Here is something which might be helpful as additional information.

Yes that's what I wished to say. And from this announcement it appears that we shouldn't care. Since if the price hits a suport line and bounces back into a correction by way of RSI and example or a downward trend indes values which means you won't buy?

Using the RSI -
Try setting it Is period to 3, ie RSI(3)
That I think you will Discover its Fairly good at detecting price/indior divergence in trends

I use RSI with length adjusted into the time frame of this chart and OB/OS levels consistently of 60/40. Watch attached UJ 5 minute chart using a RSI length of 24 representing (24 x 5 min) two hours of bars. Bullish readings must stay above 40 and bearish under 60. Beginning from the left Thursday price is bullish around top of chart, besides a one pub dip below OS 40 level around 700am EST.. Subsequently around EST it remains there over 24 hours and drops below 40 push up thru OB 60 flat, until late Friday afternoon 320pm EST into the close of the week.
