RSI Filter Indicator

The RSI Filter Indicator is a trend-following forex/stock scalping and intraday trading companion for MT4 users. It represents an unorthodox way of using the Relative Strength Index (RSI) for identifying accurate trend directions.

RSI is commonly used to identify the market’s overbought/oversold condition. In contrast, the RSI Filter straightly delivers trend signals and examines the signal validity itself.

RSI Filter Indicator Overview

The RSI Filter Indicator plots a signal line alongside the curvilinear line showing the Relative Strength value. It determines the trend signals based on how the indicator level interacts with the filter line.
