RSI Divergence Signals with Five-Bar Extremes and Candlestick Filters

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

The document briefly describes a semaphore-style indicator that seeks trading signals from divergence between fast and slow RSI oscillators. Its comparisons use extreme points drawn from the last five bars, and a signal also requires a qualifying candlestick combination. The approach therefore combines an oscillator relationship with price-bar confirmation rather than relying on RSI divergence alone.

The material names the indicator’s author and points to a translated source, but it does not specify the RSI periods, define the exact extreme-point or candle-pattern rules, or provide performance results. Two referenced figures are not included in the text, leaving important implementation details unavailable. As presented, this is a high-level description of a signal concept, not a reproducible strategy: it gives no entry or exit procedure, position sizing, market scope, or evidence that the signals predict subsequent returns.

Key ideas

  • The indicator compares fast and slow RSI oscillators for divergence.
  • It identifies oscillator extremes using the last five bars.
  • A qualifying candlestick combination is required alongside divergence for a signal.
  • The text omits oscillator settings, exact candle rules, and performance evidence.
