Using Floating Levels to Filter Cuttler’s Adaptive RSI EMA Signals

Summary

This indicator extends Cuttler’s adaptive EMA applied to RSI by adding floating levels as an additional condition for detecting trend changes. The stated motivation is to reduce false color changes: the adaptive RSI EMA’s slope may turn repeatedly during sideways markets. Traders can choose between changing the display color when the outer levels are crossed or when a middle level, described as a zero-like reference, is crossed.

The suggested use is to treat color changes as signals and experiment with the level settings before live trading. The description supplies no formulas for calculating the floating levels, recommended parameters, examples, or backtest evidence. It therefore explains the intended filtering concept but does not establish how reliably it reduces false signals across assets or market conditions.

Key ideas

• Floating levels add a threshold condition to trend changes in an adaptive EMA of RSI.
• The added filter is intended to reduce repeated signals during ranging markets.
• Users can trigger color changes from either outer-level crossings or a middle-level crossing.
• The source recommends experimenting with level settings before applying the signals live.
