Using Min-Max Normalized RSI Colors for Chart-Based Signals

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This chart indicator applies minimum and maximum normalization to RSI and displays it in the main price chart. It adds several options for coloring the indicator: color can change when RSI crosses outer levels, crosses the midpoint at 50, or changes slope. Visual aids are intended to make the oscillator’s current state easier to assess at a glance.

The color changes may be used as signals, or the normalized RSI may be incorporated into another RSI-based strategy. The document refers readers to a separate explanation of the normalization rationale but does not include that derivation here. It provides no parameter values, trading rules, backtest evidence, or performance claims, so the indicator’s usefulness as a signal remains unvalidated in this description.

Key ideas

  • The indicator applies min-max normalization to RSI and overlays it on the main price chart.
  • Color changes can be based on outer-level crosses, the level 50 cross, or slope changes.
  • The visual presentation is intended to help assess RSI state quickly.
  • The description suggests using color changes as signals but gives no validated strategy or performance evidence.
