Relative Spread Strength Indicator Parameters and Context

Summary

The document introduces Ian Copsey’s Relative Spread Strength indicator, described as having appeared in Stocks & Commodities in October 2006. It lists seven configurable inputs: fast and slow exponential moving-average periods, an RSI period, a smoothing period, applied price, and overbought and oversold thresholds. These settings indicate an oscillator-style tool that combines relative spread strength with momentum and smoothing inputs.

The available text does not include the calculation formula, signal interpretation, example chart details, or any performance evidence; a calculation heading is followed by no substantive explanation. It therefore supports only a basic account of the indicator’s configurable components, not guidance on trading rules or effectiveness. Any use would require consulting the full formula and testing the chosen settings on the intended market and timeframe.

Key ideas

• Relative Spread Strength is attributed to Ian Copsey and a 2006 magazine presentation.
• The indicator exposes fast and slow EMA periods along with an RSI period.
• Its other configurable inputs are a smoothing period, applied price, and overbought and oversold levels.
• The text omits the calculation and provides no trading results or validation.
