Relative Strength Oscillator is an alternative version of a well-known indicator Relative Strength Index (RSI). This indicator is able to closely monitor the past price action data and transform them into overbought/oversold signals. It can also be added as a momentum filter to other trend-following strategies.
Relative Strength Oscillator is quite flexible in its application because it can be applied to trade on all sorts of timeframe charts within the MT4 trading platform. Moreover, it supports trading all kinds of forex currency pairs in the financial markets.
Relative Strength Oscillator(RSO) has been built based on a 14-day median average system. Its basic task is to generate alert signals when the market reaches its overbought or oversold conditions.
Its value hits at its 20-level means the market is in an overbought condition. On the other hand, RSO value at -20-level represents the oversold condition of the market. The indicator value at zero signals for a neutral or no-trend.
As a trader, your job is to sell from the overbought condition and buy from the oversold condition. For better confirmation, you may add other trend-following indicators along with this sophisticated forex trading indicator.
Relative Strength: Buy Conditions
RSO value drops up to -20 level
Price candle closes as a bullish bar
Enter long at the break of the respective bullish bar’s high
Set stop loss below the signaling candle’s low
Exit long/take profit whenever RSO value hits its 20-level
I have been actively trading the financial markets since April 2012. Besides trading with my personal money I am a technical analyst in a mutual fund that has Rs. 1 billion in assets under management. At my leisure, I love attending live music, traveling, and partying with friends.
