RSI Slowdown Signals in Overbought and Oversold Zones

Summary

This semaphore indicator uses a fast RSI to identify potential reversal areas. Its premise is that price reversals may be preceded by a slowdown and turn in the RSI’s rate of change, while price stalls in an overbought or oversold zone. It can mark such areas with arrows and provides sound, email, and mobile notification options.

Users can configure the RSI period and applied price, upper and lower levels, and whether slowdown detection is active. With slowdown detection disabled, the indicator simply marks readings beyond the chosen levels. The document describes the indicator’s premise and settings but offers no validation, performance results, or method for managing trades. RSI slowdown or an extreme reading alone does not establish that a reversal will follow.

Key ideas

• The indicator searches for RSI slowdowns while RSI is in an overbought or oversold area.
• It marks identified areas with arrows and can issue alerts or notifications.
• Disabling slowdown detection leaves signals based on the configured RSI levels.
• The document gives no evidence that the signals predict profitable reversals.
