CALCULATION
- Step1: Calculating the Gains and Losses within the chosen period.
- Step2: Calculating the simple moving averages of gains and losses.
- Step3: Calculating Cutler’s Relative Strength ( RS ). Calculated using the following:
- -> Cutler’s RS = SMA (gains,length) / SMA (losses,length)
- Step 4: Calculating the Cutler’s Relative Strength Index ( RSI ). Calculated used the following:
- -> RSI = 100 — [100/(1 + RS )]
I have added some signals and filtering options with moving averages:
- Trend OB/OS: Uptrend after above Overbought Level. Downtrend after below Oversold Level.
- OB/OS: When above Overbought, or below oversold
- 50-Cross: Above 50 line is uptrend, below is downtrend
- Direction: Moving up or down
- RSI vs MA: RSI above MA is an uptrend, RSI below MA is a downtrend
