RRG Relative Strength# RRG Relative Strength (RRG RS)
Compare any symbol to a benchmark using two RRG-style lines: **RS-Ratio** (trend of relative strength) and **RS-Momentum** (momentum of that trend). Both are centered at **100**:
- **RS-Ratio > 100** → outperforming the benchmark
- **RS-Ratio < 100** → underperforming
- **RS-Momentum** often **leads** RS-Ratio (crosses 100 earlier)
# How it works
1) Relative Strength (RS): RS = Close(symbol) / Close(benchmark)
2) Normalize around 100: smooth RS with EMA and divide RS by that EMA
3) RS-Ratio: EMA( RS / EMA(RS, Length), LenSmooth ) * 100
4) RS-Momentum: RS-Ratio / EMA(RS-Ratio, LenSmooth) * 100
# Inputs
- Length (default 14): normalization window for RS
- Length Smooth (default 20): smoothing window for RS-Ratio & RS-Momentum
# Benchmark (auto)
- US: SP:SPX (S&P 500)
- Vietnam: HOSE:VNINDEX
- Crypto: INDEX:BTCUSD
(Modify the mapping if needed, or replace with your own input.symbol().)
# How to read
- Improving: RS-Momentum crosses above 100 while RS-Ratio turns up
- Leading: RS-Ratio > 100 with RS-Momentum ≥ 100
- Weakening: RS-Momentum drops below 100; RS-Ratio often follows
# Timeframes & presets
- Works on Daily and Weekly charts
- Daily (fast): 14 / 20
- Approx. weekly behavior on Daily: 50 / 60
Note: Values usually hover near 100 (e.g., ~90–110) but are not strictly bounded. Ensure your symbol and benchmark trade in comparable sessions/currencies.

Sector Relative StrengthDescription
This script compares sector performance relative to the S&P 500. Sector price levels or charts alone can mislead, because they tend to move with the broader market. An increase in a sector’s price does not necessarily indicate strength, as it may simply be following the index.
For more a more reliable picture, the script calculates a ratio between each sector ETF and SPY. If the ratio has increased, the sector has outperformed the index. In case it has declined, the sector has underperformed. If the value is near zero, the sector has moved in line with the index. The sectors are presented in a table and sorted on relative performance.
Calculation Method
The performance is expressed as a percentage change in the ratio over a user-defined lookback period. The default lookback is set to 21 bars, which corresponds to one month on a daily chart. This value can be adopted in the settings to match preferred time period.
Z-Score
In addition to the percentage change, the script calculates a Z-score of the ratio, which measures how far the current value deviates from its recent mean. A high positive Z-score indicates that the ratio is significantly above its average, while a negative value indicates it is below. This normalization allows for comparison between sectors with different price levels or volatility profiles.
Table Columns
- Relative %: The sector's performance relative to SPY over the selected lookback period
- Z-Score: Standardized measure of current performance ratio is relative to its average
- Trend Arrow: Indicates the direction of relative performance up down or flat
Example Interpretation
For example, if XLK shows a 3.7% change, it has outperformed SPY over the selected period. Another sector might show a -2.1% change, which indicates underperformance. While both values shows relative strength or weakness, the Z-score is optional and can provide additional context based on how unusual that performance is compared to the sector's own recent behavior.
Use Case
This approach helps evaluate overall market conditions and supports a top-down method. By starting with sector performance, it becomes easier to identify where the market is showing leadership or weakness. This allows the stock selection process to be more deliberate and can help refine or customize screeners based on certain sectors.
Fear Greed Zones by Relative Strength IndexThis is a visual modification of the relative Strength Index (RSI) to express extreme areas as fear and greed Zones.
// Input

FEAR GREED ZONES
The "Fear Greed Zones Script" indicator is designed to help traders identify psychological levels of fear and greed in the market by utilising relative strength index. It primarily utilises the Relative Strength Index of price to gauge market sentiment, with the following key features:
Color-Codes
Dark Red: Indicates a greed zone , suggesting extreme overbought conditions (high risk) and a possible price reversal downward.
Dark Green: Represents a fear zone, indicating extreme oversold conditions (low risk) and potential for price reversal upward.
Yellow: Serves as a neutral zone with medium risk.
Usage
Market Sentiment Analysis: Traders can use the fear and greed zones to assess overall market sentiment, aligning their strategies with prevailing emotional biases. This helps in identifying potential entry and exit points based on market psychology.
Risk Management: Understanding fear or greed influences market behavior and allows traders to manage their risk more effectively with the knowledge of high or low risk areas; as they can anticipate potential reversals or continuations in price trends.
Conclusion
The "Fear Greed Zones" Script is a valuable tool for traders looking to leverage market psychology. By clearly identifying areas where fear or greed may be influencing price movements, it aids in making more informed trading decisions.
ZORZOR (Zone of Outperformance Ratio) with Supporting Indicators
This custom indicator introduces an approach to measuring asset performance through the Zone of Outperformance Ratio (ZOR), complemented by two supporting indicators for comprehensive market analysis.
1. ZOR (Zone of Outperformance Ratio)
The ZOR is the cornerstone of this indicator, offering a unique perspective on an asset's performance across multiple time zones:
Measures the degree of an asset's outperformance against a benchmark (default: NSE:NIFTY) across different time zones
Utilizes a weighted multi-timeframe approach for a holistic performance view
Combines performance ratios from 63, 126, 189, and 252-day zones and results in a score between 0-99, with higher scores indicating stronger outperformance across zones
Key Features:
Fully configurable weights for each timeframe (63, 126, 189, 252 days)
Customizable benchmark symbol
Color-coded display: Blue for scores ≥60 (strong performance), Red for scores <60 (weaker performance)
2. Supporting Indicators
To enhance analysis and provide context to the ZOR score, two additional indicators are included:
a) Distance to 52-week High:
Calculates the percentage distance between current price and 52-week high
Color-coded for quick interpretation:
Yellow-green when price is above 52-week high
Dark green when price is below 52-week high
Helps identify potential overbought conditions or breakout scenarios
b) Distance to EMA:
Shows percentage distance from current price to a user-defined EMA (default: 21-day)
Helps gauge short-term momentum relative to the trend
Useful for identifying potential mean reversion opportunities
Originality and Usefulness
The ZOR indicator offers a fresh perspective on relative performance by:
Combining multiple timeframes into a single, easy-to-interpret score
Applying a non-linear transformation to emphasize recent performance
Providing a flexible framework for comparing assets against any chosen benchmark
The supporting indicators complement the ZOR by offering additional context:
Distance to 52-week High helps identify potential trend strength and breakout scenarios
Distance to EMA provides insights into short-term momentum and potential mean reversion
This combination allows traders to:
Quickly identify outperforming assets across multiple timeframes
Assess whether an asset is extended from its long-term highs or short-term average
Make more informed decisions by considering relative performance, trend strength, and momentum in a single view
How to Use
1. Add the indicator to your chart
2. Customize settings in the indicator properties:
- Set benchmark symbol
- Toggle visibility of supporting indicators
- Customize EMA length for Distance to EMA
- Adjust ZOR calculation weights(Optional)
3. Interpret the color-coded labels:
- ZOR: Blue (strong performance) or Red (weaker performance)
- Distance to High: Yellow-green (above 52-week high) or Dark green (below)
- Distance to EMA: Purple label showing percentage
4. Use in conjunction with other technical and fundamental analysis for comprehensive trading decisions
This indicator provides a unique, multi-faceted approach to performance analysis, combining relative strength measurement with trend and momentum indicators for a holistic market view.
RvB ( relative strength vs BTC ) Overview
The "Coin vs BTC" indicator is designed to compare the performance of a selected cryptocurrency against Bitcoin (BTC) using Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). By plotting the difference in EMA values as a percentage, this indicator helps traders visualize the relative strength of a cryptocurrency compared to Bitcoin over specified periods.
How It Works
EMA Calculation: The indicator calculates two EMAs (lengths specified by the user) for both the selected cryptocurrency and Bitcoin (BTC).
Length 1: Fast EMA (default: 9)
Length 2: Slow EMA (default: 21)
Score Calculation:
For both the selected coin and Bitcoin, it computes a score representing the percentage difference between the fast and slow EMAs relative to the previous closing price. This is done using the following steps:
Calculate the difference between the fast and slow EMAs.
Compute the percentage of this difference relative to the previous closing price.
Round the percentage to two decimal places for clarity.
Plotting: The scores for both the selected cryptocurrency and Bitcoin are plotted on the same chart:
Coin Score: Displayed in blue.
BTC Score: Displayed in orange.
Potential Uses
Relative Strength Analysis:
This indicator helps traders compare the strength of a cryptocurrency against Bitcoin. A higher score for the selected coin compared to Bitcoin indicates it is performing better relative to its moving averages.
Trend Confirmation:
By observing the EMA differences, traders can confirm trends and potential reversals. Consistently higher scores may indicate a strong upward trend, while lower scores could suggest a weakening trend.
Market Comparison:
This tool is particularly useful for those looking to understand how their selected cryptocurrency is performing in the broader market context, especially in relation to Bitcoin, which is often considered a market benchmark.
Crypto Narratives: Relative StrengthThis indicator offers a unique perspective on the crypto market by focusing on the relative strength of different narratives. It aggregates RSI data from multiple tokens associated with each narrative, providing a comprehensive view of the sentiment and momentum behind these themes. You can use it to take profit, find W bottoms or M tops to enter and exit narratives. and generally see what hot at the moment with lots of pretty colours.
This indicator tracks the relative strength of various crypto narratives using the Relative Strength Index (RSI) of representative tokens. It allows users to gauge the momentum and sentiment behind different themes in the cryptocurrency market.
Functionality:
The indicator calculates the average RSI values for the current leading tokens associated with ten different crypto narratives:
- AI (Artificial Intelligence)
- Ordinals
- DeFi (Decentralized Finance)
- Memes
- Gaming
- Level 1 (Layer 1 Protocols)
- Sol Betas (Solana Ecosystem)
- Storage/DePin
- RWA (Real-World Assets)
- ReStaking
he average RSI values for each narrative are calculated by summing the RSI values of the associated tokens and dividing by the number of tokens. The indicator plots the 3-period simple moving average (SMA) of each narrative's RSI using different colors and line styles.
Users can customize the RSI length, line width, and label offset through the input options. If the "Show Labels" option is enabled, the indicator displays labels for each narrative's RSI value on the most recent bar.
The indicator also includes horizontal lines representing overbought and oversold levels, which can be adjusted through the input options. Alerts are triggered when a narrative's RSI crosses above the overbought level or below the oversold level. The alerts include the narrative name, RSI value, and a suggestion to consider selling or buying.
Kshitij Malve - Relative Strength CustomPurpose: This indicator attempts to gauge the relative strength of a stock compared to a broader index (like the Nifty 50) and provide actionable buy, sell, or hold signals. It is designed to be used for shorter-term, intraday trading.
Key Features
Signal Focus: Generates color-coded visual cues to aid in decision-making:
Green: Indicates a potential buy signal
Red: Indicates a potential sell signal
Blue: Suggests maintaining the current position
Trend and Volatility: Combines:
The SuperTrend indicator to determine the underlying price trend (uptrend vs. downtrend).
Average True Range (ATR) to assess recent market volatility.
Strength Check: Incorporates the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to measure if the stock is overbought or oversold relative to the broader index.
Logic: (Note: This description assumes the logic you implemented – adapt if your conditions differ)
The indicator's core logic suggests:
Buy Signal: RSI oversold, market in an uptrend, increased volatility, and price above a short-term moving average.
Sell Signal: RSI overbought, market in a downtrend, increased volatility, and price below a short-term moving average.
How to Use
Add the indicator to a chart of the stock you want to analyze. It will appear in a separate pane below the price chart.
Customize input settings if desired (lengths of RSI, SuperTrend, etc.). Consider aligning these with your timeframe and the characteristics of the specific stock and index.
Observation: Look for green (buy), red (sell), and blue (hold) signals.
Important Notes
Confirmation Tool: This indicator works best in conjunction with other forms of technical and fundamental analysis for a comprehensive trading strategy.
Market-Specific: The underlying logic may need to be tailored further for specific stock and index combinations to provide the most reliable signals.
Disclaimer: Financial markets are risky. Thoroughly backtest and understand the risk profile of any strategy relying on this indicator before using real capital.
Anchored Relative StrengthThe Anchored Relative Strength (RS) Indicator is a tool designed for traders to compare the performance of a selected stock or security against a benchmark index or another security starting from a specific point in time.
Traditional Relative Strength
The traditional RS line is a popular tool used to compare the performance of a stock, typically calculated as the ratio of the stock's price to a benchmark index's price. It helps identify outperformers and underperformers relative to the market or a specific sector.
The Anchored Approach
The Anchored RS line enhances the traditional concept of the RS line by introducing an anchored approach, where calculations begin from a user-defined date. This feature provides the flexibility to start the comparison from a specific historical event, earnings, market peak, trough, or any date significant to the trader's analysis.
Calculating Relative Strength
The RS value is calculated by dividing the close price of the chosen stock by the close price of the comparative symbol (SPX by default). This calculation is performed for each bar since the Anchor Date.
Indicator Features
🔶Custom Start Date
🔶Custom Comparison Symbol
🔶RS Line Moving Average
🔶Comparison Symbol Line
🔶Customize Colors & Appearance
Users can change the anchor date simply by clicking on the indicator and dragging the anchor point.
Double Relative Strength Index (Double RSI)# Double Relative Strength Index (Double RSI) Indicator
The Double Relative Strength Index (Double RSI) is a custom trading indicator for the TradingView platform. It provides traders with two Relative Strength Index (RSI) bands, a fast RSI, and a slow RSI, which can be helpful in identifying potential entry and exit points in the market.
## Features
- **Uses 2 RSI Bands:** The indicator displays two RSI lines on the chart, providing insights into the short-term and long-term strength of the asset's price movement.
- **Fast and Slow RSI:** The fast RSI uses a shorter length, while the slow RSI uses a longer length, allowing traders to observe different time frames of price momentum.
- **Smoothing:** To reduce noise and improve the readability of the RSI lines, the indicator offers multiple smoothing options such as RMA, SMA, EMA, WMA, and HMA.
- **Crossover and Crossunder Signals:** The indicator identifies potential trading signals when the fast RSI crosses above or below the slow RSI. These events are visually highlighted on the chart with color-coded candlesticks.
- **RSI Bands:** The indicator also includes colored bands that represent different RSI levels, such as 80%, 75%, 60%, 50%, 45%, 25%, and 20%. These bands help visualize the RSI's current position relative to overbought and oversold conditions.
## How to Use
1. Add the "Double RSI" indicator to your TradingView chart.
2. Customize the input parameters according to your preferences, such as the lengths of the fast and slow RSIs and the smoothing method.
3. The indicator will display two RSI lines on the chart, each with its own color.
4. Look for crossover events where the fast RSI line crosses above the slow RSI line, indicating a potential bullish signal.
5. Watch for crossunder events where the fast RSI line crosses below the slow RSI line, indicating a potential bearish signal.
6. The colored bands represent different RSI levels. When the RSI is in the overbought (high) or oversold (low) regions, it may suggest a potential reversal in price direction.
## Disclaimer
Please remember that the Double RSI indicator is provided for informational purposes only and should not be considered as financial advice or a standalone trading strategy. Always perform your own research, use additional tools and indicators, and consider risk management techniques before making any trading decisions.

Inverted Relative Strength IndexUnfortunately when using the cmd + I to invert the chart, won't have the same effect on the RSI indicator. The Inverted Relative Strength Index will have the inverted RSI showing in the same direction as the chart that was inverted using the available command in TradingView. Keep in mind that when flipping the chart back to the original direction, the Inverted Relative Strength Index won't flip with it, so you'll need to go back to the regular Relative Strength Index.
MARS - Moving Average Relative StrengthThe original idea from this script is from the script " Percentage Relative Strength " by dman103 . The original script compared a symbol to an index by their everyday percentage change. The symbol percentage was subtracted from percentage change of the index, & the results were then smoothed by moving averages.
Instead of daily percentage changes, this script directly calculates relative strength via a moving average. We call this simpler approach as MARS (Moving Average Relative Strength) .
MARS compares a symbol to the index by making use of the price's distance from a moving average. By default, we compare the distance from the 50-day simple moving average of the stock vs that of the index. Both the type & the length of the moving average is customisable.
Background color indicates the index being above or below its moving average.
Blue background: index is above its moving average
Pink background: index is below its moving average
The histogram indicates whether the stock is under-performing or out-performing the index.
Up-bars : stock is out-performing the index i.e. between the stock & the index, the difference between the distance to/from the 50-day moving average is a positive value.
Down-bars : stock is under-performing the index i.e. between the stock & the index, the difference between the distance to/from the 50-day moving average is a negative value.
The color of the histogram indicates the type of out-performance or under-performance. There can be a total of 6 such colors:
Relative out-performance : both index & stock are bearish, but stock is less bearish. The script prints light green up-bars on a pink background.
Gross out-performance : both index & stock are bullish, but stock is more bullish. The script prints green up-bars on a blue background.
Absolute out-performance : index is bearish, but stock is bullish! The script prints blue up-bars on a pink background.
Relative under-performance : both index & stock are bullish, but stock is less bullish. The script prints light red bars on a blue background.
Gross under-performance : both index & stock are bearish, but stock is more bearish. The script prints dark red bars on a pink background.
Absolute under-performance : index is bullish, but stock is bearish! The script prints black down-bars on a blue background.
Additional customisation options:
Paint bars option changes the bar colors to mirror the histogram colors.
Easy colors option just changes the histogram colors to either blue or pink, indicating out-performance or under-performance, respectively. This is when the trader does not wish to demarcate between the above-mentioned 6 conditions.
Reverse Double Smoothed Relative Strength Index Bands[CC]The Reverse Double Smoothed Relative Strength Index Bands is a custom script of mine that is another part of my RSI indicator series, which I will be publishing over the next week or so. This takes my Double Smoothed Relative Strength Index script and applies the Reverse RSI formula to create a new Bollinger Bands type indicator. This concept can work for almost any oscillator with some slight tweaking. I have a reverse RSI being calculated for each major RSI level to give you an approximation of what the price would look like if that RSI level was hit. Feel free to tweak the RSI levels of course. I will publish more Reverse indicators since that doesn't seem to be a topic that is touched on very frequently. I have color coded the indicator to show darker colors when it is a strong signal and lighter colors for normal signals. Buy when the lines turn green and sell when they turn red.
This was a custom request from @kerpiciwuasile so let me know if you want to see me publish another custom script!
Dynamic Relative StrengthMainly this indicator is a Relative strength indicator which tells us about the strength of a scrip as compared to an index . That is it outperforming the index or underperforming . Outperformance signifies Strength and Under performance signifies Weakness .Inspired from Bharat trader's Relative Strength of a stock , but changing the period for all time frames is a hassle so i have set 10 period for Monthly and 52 period for Weekly. As for monthly we need around 10 months data or we can use 12 as 1 year has 12 months but 10 works best . used 52 period for Weekly time frame because there are 52 weeks in a year. These values are by default dynamically applied to the indicator when weekly or monthly timeframes are chosen . Daily Period can be chosen as per anyone's need . As can be seen in provided screenshot , that the stock has recently started gaining strength on weekly a compared to Small cap100 index . So we can conclude that it has more strength than the overall index it is representing so more chances of outperformance will be there.
Ehlers Adaptive Relative Strength Index (RSI) [Loxx]Ehlers Adaptive Relative Strength Index (RSI) is an implementation of RSI using Ehlers Autocorrelation Periodogram Algorithm to derive the length input for RSI. Other implementations of Ehers Adaptive RSI rely on the inferior Hilbert Transformer derive the dominant cycle.
In his book "Cycle Analytics for Traders Advanced Technical Trading Concepts", John F. Ehlers describes an implementation for Adaptive Relative Strength Index in order to solve for varying length inputs into the classic RSI equation.
What is an adaptive cycle, and what is the Autocorrelation Periodogram Algorithm?
From his Ehlers' book mentioned above, page 135:
"Adaptive filters can have several different meanings. For example, Perry Kaufman’s adaptive moving average (KAMA) and Tushar Chande’s variable index dynamic average (VIDYA) adapt to changes in volatility. By definition, these filters are reactive to price changes, and therefore they close the barn door after the horse is gone.The adaptive filters discussed in this chapter are the familiar Stochastic, relative strength index (RSI), commodity channel index (CCI), and band-pass filter.The key parameter in each case is the look-back period used to calculate the indicator.This look-back period is commonly a fixed value. However, since the measured cycle period is changing, as we have seen in previous chapters, it makes sense to adapt these indicators to the measured cycle period. When tradable market cycles are observed, they tend to persist for a short while.Therefore, by tuning the indicators to the measure cycle period they are optimized for current conditions and can even have predictive characteristics.
The dominant cycle period is measured using the autocorrelation periodogram algorithm. That dominant cycle dynamically sets the look-back period for the indicators. I employ my own streamlined computation for the indicators that provide smoother and easier to interpret outputs than traditional methods. Further, the indicator codes have been modified to remove the effects of spectral dilation.This basically creates a whole new set of indicators for your trading arsenal."
What is Adaptive RSI?
From his Ehlers' book mentioned above, page 137:
"The adaptive RSI starts with the computation of the dominant cycle using the autocorrelation periodogram approach. Since the objective is to use only those frequency components passed by the roofing filter, the variable "filt" is used as a data input rather than closing prices. Rather than independently taking the averages of the numerator and denominator, I chose to perform smoothing on the ratio using the SuperSmoother filter. The coefficients for the SuperSmoother filters have previously been computed in the dominant cycle measurement part of the code."
Happy trading!
Esqvair's Relative Strength IndexThe Indicator
Esqvair's Relative Strength Index is the another modification of very popular Relative Strength Index by J. Welles Wilder
The Modification
This version uses de-lagged price as source, de-lagging price improves performance of the indicator.
How to use
The ways of usage are same as original Relative Strength Index that means you can use it as overbought and oversold indicator or as divergence indicator.
Jigga - Relative Strength - SectorsHi All !!
I came across relative strength concept from below indicator.
Indicator Name: (Relative-Strength by modhelius)
Note: Sorry !! Could not add indicator url here.
Formula:
RelativeStrength = (sectorValue / sectorValue ) / (indexValue / indexValue ) - 1 * 100
I used same concept and combine all sector's relative strength against Nifty50 index.
How to use:
You can change length based on your convenience and show/hide sectors.
Indicator will show strength line for that sector.
you can use this to identify momentum stocks.
NIFTY INDEX VS STOCK Relative StrengthRelative Index is a ratio of a stock price performance to a market average performance. It is used in technical analysis. It is not confused with RSI indicator. To calculate the relative strength of a particular stock,divide the percentage change over some period by the percentage change of a particular index over the same time period.A stock with a higher relative strength than the overall index often shows a strong investment opportunity.Relative strength is a technique used in momentum investing and identify value stock.The goal of relative strength investing is to buy high and sell even higher.
Adaptive Relative StrengthAdaptive Relative Strength shows a line of relative strength with a moving period in relative to Nifty 500 for Indian Market,
by default its 45 days but you can change as per your need or change relative symbol as per your need.
JSE Top 40 Comparative Relative Strength RSI OscillatorThis code is the result of an idea by @MarcoOlivano. The question was that if putting the comparative relative strength as an RSI oscillator would help in understanding the relative strength of the stock to the overall market? As we both trade the JSE I have made the JSE:J200 or Top 40 the basis for comparison. This can be changed in the settings dropdown if you want to compare with the All Share Index (JSE:J201) or other markets such as the S&P.
On the chart above I have included the Comparative Relative Strength as a reference together with the Comparative Relative Strength RSI.
If you use the indicator or adapt it please let me know if it works for you, how you use it and if it has any value.
Price Relative / Relative StrengthThe Price Relative indicator compares the performance of one security to another with a ratio chart. This indicator is also known as the Relative Strength indicator or Relative Strength Comparative. Often, the Price Relative indicator is used to compare the performance of a stock against a benchmark index, S&P 500, BIST:XU100 etc.
Chartists can also use the Price Relative to compare the performance of a stock to its sector or industry group. This makes it possible to determine if a stock is leading or lagging its peers. The Price Relative indicator can also be used to find stocks that are holding up better during a broad market decline or showing weakness during a broad market advance. (Source: stockcharts)
This also can be used for Trend Identification and Bullish/Bearish Divergences.
Good Luck
Real Relative Strength Indicator### What is RRS (Real Relative Strength)?
RRS is a volatility-normalized relative strength indicator that shows you – in real time – whether your stock, crypto, or any asset is genuinely beating or lagging the broader market after adjusting for risk and volatility. Unlike the classic “price ÷ SPY” line that gets completely fooled by volatility regimes, RRS answers the only question that actually matters to professional traders:
“Is this ticker moving better (or worse) than the market on a risk-adjusted basis right now?”
It does this by measuring the excess momentum of your ticker versus a benchmark (SPY, QQQ, BTC, etc.) and then dividing that excess by the average volatility (ATR) of both instruments. The result is a clean, centered-around-zero oscillator that works the same way in calm markets, crash markets, or parabolic bull runs.
### How to Use the RRS Indicator (Aqua/Purple Area Version) in Practice
The indicator is deliberately simple to read once you know the rules:
Positive area (aqua) means genuine outperformance.
Negative area (purple) means genuine underperformance.
The farther from zero, the stronger the leadership or weakness.
#### Core Signals and How to Trade Them
- RRS crossing above zero → one of the highest-probability long signals in existence. The asset has just started outperforming the market on a risk-adjusted basis. Enter or add aggressively if price structure agrees.
- RRS crossing below zero → leadership is ending. Tighten stops, take partial or full profits, or flip short if you trade both sides.
- RRS above +2 (bright aqua area) → clear leadership. This is where the real money is made in bull markets. Trail stops, add on pullbacks, let winners run.
- RRS below –2 (bright purple area) → clear distribution or capitulation. Avoid new longs, consider short entries or protective puts.
- Extreme readings above +4 or below –4 (background tint appears) → rare, very high-conviction moves. Treat these like once-a-month opportunities.
- Divergence (not plotted here, but easy to spot visually): price making new highs while the aqua area is shrinking → distribution. Price making new lows while the purple area is shrinking → hidden buying and coming reversal.
#### Best Settings by Style and Asset Class
For stocks and ETFs: keep benchmark as SPY (or QQQ for tech-heavy names) and length 14–20 on daily/4H charts.
For crypto: change the benchmark to BTCUSD (or ETHUSD) immediately — otherwise the reading is meaningless. Length 10–14 works best on 1H–4H crypto charts because volatility is higher.
For day trading: drop length to 10–12 and use 15-minute or 5-minute charts. Signals are faster and still extremely clean.
#### Highest-Edge Setups (What Actually Prints Money)
- RRS crosses above zero while price is still below a major moving average (50 EMA, 200 SMA, etc.) → early leadership, often catches the exact bottom of a new leg up.
- RRS already deep aqua (+3 or higher) and price pulls back to support without RRS dropping below +1 → textbook add-on or re-entry zone.
- RRS deep purple and suddenly turns flat or starts curling up while price is still falling → hidden accumulation, usually the exact low tick.
That’s it. Master these few rules and the RRS becomes one of the most powerful edge tools you will ever use for rotation trading...
