Using RSX Smoothing in a Synthetic RSI Trend Signal

Summary

The document describes a synthetic RSI-style indicator that substitutes RSX for RSI. It says the RSX calculation produces a smoother signal, avoids adding lag, and removes some false signals compared with the RSI version. The suggested use is to treat a change in the indicator’s color as a possible trend change.

No formula, parameter settings, chart examples, backtest, or performance evidence are provided. The claims about smoothness and false signals are not quantified, so traders would need to define the color-change rule and evaluate it on their own data before using it. The note offers an indicator concept and a possible signal interpretation, but does not specify entries, exits, position sizing, or risk controls.

Key ideas

• The indicator adapts a synthetic RSI concept by using RSX in place of RSI.
• The document says RSX makes the indicator smoother without adding lag.
• It claims the substitution eliminates some false signals but provides no supporting measurements.
• A change in the indicator’s color is presented as a potential trend-change signal.
• The document does not specify trading rules or validation results.
