Using RSI with a Supertrend Indicator for Trading Signals

Article MQL5 code base
Read the original

Summary

This MetaTrader 5 indicator applies an RSI calculation to a Supertrend indicator. The document identifies the Supertrend component as a separately published indicator and directs readers to its description for an explanation of how it works and how to set its parameters. RSI has a single configurable parameter: its period.

For use, the author suggests treating changes in the indicator’s color as signals or setting levels that trigger signals. The description does not specify recommended parameter values, the exact signal logic, suitable markets or timeframes, or rules for entries, exits, and risk management. It also offers no chart examples, backtest results, or comparison with using RSI or Supertrend alone. The material introduces a combined indicator concept, but leaves its practical interpretation and validation to the user.

Key ideas

  • The indicator calculates RSI on a Supertrend series.
  • The Supertrend component has its own parameters, while the RSI portion has a period setting.
  • Color changes or user-defined levels can be used as signal triggers.
  • The document provides no tested parameters, trade management rules, or performance evidence.
