Adaptive RSI Using Tick Data and Fast and Slow Averages

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This document describes an indicator that calculates an adaptive Relative Strength Index from tick data and displays it in a separate chart window alongside fast and slow moving-average lines. Users can customize calculation periods, moving-average types, and visual settings. The indicator is presented as a conversion of an older MetaTrader indicator, updated to use the platform’s default RSI implementation.

The author characterizes the transformation as applying fast and slow averages based on tick calculations and identifies the plotted lines by color: a tick-price plot, a fast RSI line, and a slow RSI line. A comparison with the platform’s standard RSI is mentioned, but the supplied text gives no quantitative results, trading rules, or evidence that the adaptive version improves signals or returns. It also does not specify the precise adaptation formula or explain how the indicator should be interpreted in different market conditions. It is therefore a description of a technical tool, not a tested strategy.

Key ideas

  • The indicator derives an adaptive RSI from tick data.
  • It displays the result with fast and slow moving-average lines in a separate window.
  • Users can adjust calculation periods, average types, and display settings.
  • The document offers no formula details or performance evidence for trading use.
