RSI Thresholds with Zigzag Reversal Confirmation
Summary
This indicator combines RSI threshold crossings with a percentage-based zigzag rule to mark changes in direction. It calculates RSI from closing prices, flags a potential upward move when RSI crosses above its oversold threshold, and flags a potential downward move when RSI crosses below its overbought threshold. Those event prices become reference levels for tracking highs and lows.
A new buy or sell signal appears when price moves sufficiently far from the tracked level to change the zigzag trend state. The source includes signal plots, alerts, and long and short entries, and the published test configuration uses BTC/USDT futures. No performance statistics or comparative evidence are supplied. The input length defaults to one, and the minimum percentage change is configurable; these choices can make results sensitive to parameter settings and market noise. The material describes a signal method rather than a fully specified risk and position management plan.
Key ideas
- RSI crossings establish candidate long and short reference prices.
- A configurable percentage move from tracked highs or lows switches the zigzag trend state.
- Signals are generated when the trend state changes direction.
- The document provides no performance results or detailed risk controls.
