GTI B

GTI: RSI Suite (Standard • Stochastic • Smoothed)

A three-layer momentum and trend toolkit that combines Standard RSI, Stochastic RSI, and a Smoothed/“Macro” RSI to help you read intraday swings, trend transitions, and high-probability reversal/continuation spots.
All in one pane with intuitive coloring and optional divergence markers and alerts.

Why this works
* Stochastic RSI (K/D) visualizes fast momentum swings and timing.
* Standard RSI moves more gradually, helping confirm trend transitions that may span several Stochastic cycles.
* Smoothed RSI (Average → Macro) adds a second-pass filter and slope persistence to reveal the macro direction while suppressing noise.
Used together, Stochastic guides entries/exits around local highs/lows, while the RSI layers improve confidence when a small swing is likely part of a larger turn.

What you’ll see
* Standard RSI (yellow; pink above Bull line, aqua below Bear line).
* Stochastic RSI (K/D) with contextual colors:
* Greens when RSI is weak/oversold (bearish conditions → watch for bullish reversals/continuations).
* Reds when RSI is strong/overbought (bullish conditions → watch for bearish reversals/continuations).
* Smoothed (Macro) RSI with trend color:
* Red when macro is ascending (bullish),
* Aqua when macro is descending (bearish).
* Divergences (optional markers):
* Bearish: RSI Lower High + Price Higher High (red ⬇).
* Bullish: RSI Higher Low + Price Lower Low (green ⬆).
* No repaint: pivots confirm after the chosen right-bars window.

How to use it
* Bullish Reversal
* Macro RSI is reversing at a higher low after price has been in a overall downtrend
* Stochastic RSI is switching from green to red in an overall downtrend
* Bullish Oversold
* Macro RSI is reversing from a significantly low level after price has a short but strong dip during an overall uptrend
* Stochastic RSI is switching from green to red in an overall uptrend
* Bullish Continuation
* Macro RSI is ascending with a strong slope or forming a higher low above the 50 line
* Stochastic RSI is reaching a bottom but still painted red

* Bearish Reversal
* Macro RSI is reversing at a lower high after price has been in a overall uptrend
* Stochastic RSI is switching from red to green in an overall uptrend
* Bearish Overbought
* Macro RSI is reversing from a significantly high level after price has a short but strong jump during an overall downtrend
* Stochastic RSI is switching from red to green in an overall downtrend
* Bearish Continuation
* Macro RSI is descending with a strong slope or forming a lower high below the 50 line
* Stochastic RSI is reaching a top but still painted green

* Divergences: Use as signals of exhaustion—best when aligned with Macro RSI color/slope and key levels (e.g., Bull/Bear lines, 50 midline).

*** IMPORTANT ***
* Stack confluence, don’t single-signal trade. Look for:
* 1) Macro RSI color & slope (red = ascending/bullish, aqua = descending/bearish)
* 2) Standard RSI location (above/below Bull/Bear lines or 50)
* 3) Stoch flip + direction
* 4) Price structure (HH/HL vs LH/LL)
* 5) Divergence type (regular vs hidden) at meaningful levels
* Trade with the macro
* Prioritize longs when Macro RSI is red or just flipped up
* Prioritize shorts when Macro RSI is aqua or just flipped down
* Counter-trend setups = smaller size and faster management.
* Location > signal
* The same crossover/divergence is higher quality near Bull (~60)/Bear(~40) or extremes than in the mid-range chop around 50.
* Early vs confirmed
* Use the early pivot heads-up for anticipation, but scale in only after the confirmed pivot (right-bars complete). If early signal fails to confirm, stand down.
* Define invalidation upfront
* For divergence entries, place stops beyond the pivot extreme (LL/HH). If Macro RSI flips against your trade or RSI breaks back through 50 with slope, exit or tighten.
* Multi-timeframe alignment
* Best results come when entry timeframe (e.g., 1H) aligns with higher-TF macro (e.g., 4H/D). If they disagree, treat it as mean-reversion only.
* Avoid common traps
* Skip: isolated Stochastic flips without RSI support, divergences without price HH/LL confirmation, and serial divergences when Macro RSI slope is strong against the idea.
* Parameter guidance
* Start with defaults; then tune: confirmBars 3–7, minSlope 0.05–0.15 RSI pts/bar, pivot left/right tighter for faster but noisier signals, wider for cleaner but fewer.
* Alerts = workflow, not auto-trades
* Use Macro Flip + Divergence alerts as a checklist trigger; enter only when your confluence rules are met and risk is defined.

Key inputs (tweak to your market/timeframe)
* RSI / Stochastic lengths and K/D smoothing.
* Bull / Bear Lines (default 61.1 / 43.6).
* Average RSI Method/Length (SMA/EMA/RMA/WMA) + Macro Smooth Length.
* Trend confirmation: bars of persistence and minimum slope to reduce flip noise.
* Pivot look-back (left/right) for divergence confirmation strictness.

Alerts included
* Macro Flip Up / Down (Smoothed RSI regime change).
* RSI Bullish/Bearish Divergence (confirmed at pivot).
* Stochastic RSI continuation/divergence (optional).

Tips
* Level + Slope matter. High/low RSI level flags conditions; slope confirms impulse/continuation.
* Let Stochastic time the swing; let Macro RSI filter the trend.
* Tighten or loosen pivot windows to trade fewer/cleaner vs. more/faster signals.
