Relative Strength Index Formula (Chart Controls)

  • Artigo

The relative strength index formula is a momentum oscillator formula that compares upward movements of the close price with downward movements, and outputs values from 0 to 100. A value close to 100 indicates that the price is about to move downward, and a value close to 0 indicates that the price is about to move upward.

The following example takes input from Series1's fourth Y value (Series1:Y4) and outputs the relative strength indicator on Series2 (Series2:Y). It also specifies a period of 15 days.

Chart1.DataManipulator.FinancialFormula (FinancialFormula.RelativeStrengthIndex, "15", "Series1:Y4", "Series2:Y")
