RSI versus SMA (no repaint)

*** USE AT YOUR OWN RISK ***
  • Nothing is perfect, and all decisions by you are on your own head. And stuff.

Description:
  • It's RSI versus a Simple Moving Average.. Not sure it really needs much more description.
  • Should not repaint - Automatically offsets by 1 bar if anything other than "open" selected as RSI source.

...sometimes smashing things together just happens to work...
