RSIOMA for Trend Changes and Overbought or Oversold Signals

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

RSIOMA applies the Relative Strength Index to moving averages, then smooths that result with another moving average. It displays the RSI-based line and its moving average in a separate 0–100 window, with a histogram intended to make the current trend easier to read. The document presents the indicator as a way to spot trend changes and distinguish bullish from bearish conditions around a midpoint.

Settings control the calculation periods, moving-average types, input price, trigger levels, and trend thresholds. Alerts can be configured for trigger-level crossings or histogram indications, with a choice between the last closed candle and the unfinished candle. The page explains what these settings do, but gives no tested strategy, performance evidence, or guidance for choosing parameters. Signals therefore require independent validation, and alerts based on an unfinished candle may change before it closes.

Key ideas

  • RSIOMA calculates RSI from moving averages and then smooths the RSI with another moving average.
  • The indicator plots its values on a 0–100 scale and includes a histogram for trend cues.
  • A midpoint threshold is used to classify the main line as bullish or bearish.
  • Periods, averaging methods, price input, and trigger levels are configurable.
  • Alerts can use the current unfinished candle or the most recently closed candle.
