Stochastic RSI as an Overbought and Oversold Oscillator

Summary

The document explains Stochastic RSI, an oscillator derived by applying a stochastic calculation to the Relative Strength Index. It measures the current RSI against its high-to-low range over a user-selected period, then expresses the result on a scale from 0 to 1.

The indicator is used in technical analysis to flag possible overbought or oversold conditions. The text provides a basic definition only; it does not specify trading rules, parameter settings, or evidence that the indicator predicts returns. Signals therefore require interpretation and evaluation within a broader strategy.
