RSI Trendspotter
Updated
Had a bit of a TA epiphany with RSI so bear with me. The time since RSI was last overbought/sold is a solid trend indicator. This may seem obvious but after x number of years trading it hit me like a smack in the face. I've coded this for easy visualisation. They're fairly simple changes but it's making a big difference in my trendspotting already.
In the example CMG hasn't been overbought for 183 days, so the RSI is mostly green:
Before that it hadn't been oversold for 199 days, so RSI is mostly red:
And before that it was ranging like a maf*ckin' sine wave, so the RSI shows green, red, green, red, etc.:
Finally, normal RSI for comparison. Same data, but now with pretty colours:
I've also added overbought/oversold highlights cause that just makes the whole charting thing a lot easier. Enjoy!

Fixed an issue with colour and the source. Due to Pine Script limitations it's not possible to make this look the same on a black chart, so you will need to manually adjust the colours when you add it to your chartOpen-source script
