In this webinar, I will be covering one of the most popular oscillators – Relative Strength Index (RSI).
 
Many traders look to the RSI traditionally for its overbought and oversold levels and divergence.
 
The RSI is a basic measure of how well an asset is performing against itself by comparing the strength of the up days versus the down days. This number is computed and has a range between 0 and 100. Usually, a reading above 70 is considered bullish, while a reading below 30 is an indication of bearishness. 
 
The signals given by the Relative Strength Indicator (RSI) are: Movements above 70, are interpreted as indicating overbought conditions, thereby giving the opportunity to sell. Conversely, movements under 30 signals oversold conditions, by which, giving the opportunity to buy.
 
Divergence
Divergence is a powerful signal that can spot potential market reversals by comparing the indicator and market direction. When you see RSI divergence, this occurs when price splits from the indicator, and they begin heading in opposite directions. For example, you will see the price making a higher high, but then, on the corresponding time on the RSI indicator window, you will see the RSI indicator making a lower high. This behaviour is called divergence.
 
Timeframe
The default setting period is 14 which you may find does not suit your trading temperament. Normally, short-term traders use a shorter period, such as a 7, or a lower period RSI. Whereas longer-term traders may opt for a higher period, such as a 18 to 26 period RSI for a smoother indicator line.
