Composite RSI as a Trend-Focused Indicator

Summary

This document introduces a Composite RSI indicator and distinguishes its purpose from conventional RSI. Despite its name, it is described as a different way of calculating RSI rather than a combination of multiple RSI readings. The author characterizes it as more useful for identifying trends than for measuring momentum, because it is intended to filter out smaller price movements and emphasize the underlying direction.

The described version adds floating levels so that levels used to identify trends can adapt instead of remaining fixed. It also offers multiple price pre-filtering modes, alerts, and multi-timeframe operation in a single indicator file. These are feature descriptions rather than evidence of effectiveness: the document provides no formula, test results, or comparison with standard RSI. Traders would need to evaluate its behavior across instruments and timeframes before relying on it, including how filtering and dynamic levels affect signal timing.

Key ideas

• Composite RSI is presented as a trend-oriented alternative calculation, not a blend of multiple RSI readings.
• Its filtering aims to reduce the influence of insignificant price changes.
• Floating levels adapt trend reference levels rather than keeping them static.
• The indicator includes several price pre-filtering modes, alerts, and multi-timeframe support.
• The document gives no formula or empirical evidence establishing performance.
