RSI

Description

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is an oscillator that rates the strength of a security on a scale from 0 to 100, comparing magnitudes of its recent gains and losses. By default, the Wilder's moving average is used in the calculation of RSI, however, you are free to select a different type of average in the input parameters.

RSI is widely used as an overbought/oversold indicator, with default values of 30 for the oversold level and 70 for the overbought. These values can be adjusted in the input parameters. Actual indication of RSI crossovers with the overbought/oversold levels can be enabled by setting the show breakout signals parameter value to yes.
