Ultimate Adaptive RSI
Ultimate Adaptive RSI
RSI That Adapts to Any Market
This isn't your grandpa's RSI. It dynamically adjusts its sensitivity based on market conditions—smoother in trends, responsive in ranges.
Traditional RSI fails in strong trends and changing volatility. UA-RSI fixes both by adapting its sensitivity in real-time, giving you reliable signals whether the market is trending, ranging, or transitioning between regimes.
How It Adapts:
Smart Pre-Smoothing: Uses Efficiency Ratio to detect trend strength and automatically lengthens/shortens its smoothing window.
Dominant Cycle Detection: Matches its internal period to the market's actual rhythm.
Dynamic Bands: RMS-based overbought/oversold levels that expand/contract with volatility.
Smoothing Stack: ALMA pre-smoothing → Ultimate Smoother → Jurik filter creates the cleanest RSI you've ever seen.
Trade Signals:
Buy: RSI crosses above lower band or midline + price confirms
Sell: RSI crosses below upper band or midline + price confirms
Bands expand in high volatility → wait for deeper extremes
Bands contract in low volatility → take earlier signals
Signal line for crossover entries
Adaptive smoothing = fewer false signals in trends
Day trading: Use 1.0 band multiplier
Swing trading: Use 1.2-1.5 multiplier
Ranging markets: Lower multiplier to 0.8
Trending markets: Raise multiplier to 1.5+
Bands widen in volatility = wait for deeper extremes
Bands tighten in calm markets = take earlier signals
Never trade RSI alone - always wait for price confirmation
