Color RSI with Alerts (MT4)
Color RSI with Alerts enhances the classic Relative Strength Index with dynamic color states and smart notifications. It highlights overbought/oversold sweeps, midline momentum flips, and trend‑aligned pullbacks in MetaTrader 4.
What it shows
- RSI line with color changes by state: above OB, below OS, rising/falling, or neutral.
- Levels — typical 70/30 (customizable), optional 80/20 extremes and 50 midline.
- (Optional) arrows/alerts — OB/OS touches/exits, 50‑line crosses, slope flips and divergence hints.
Trade ideas
- Momentum flip: after a 50‑line cross up, buy the first pullback that keeps RSI > 40–45; mirror for shorts with < 55–60.
- OB/OS sweep: fade exhausted spikes back toward 50 when price is range‑bound.
- Trend‑aligned dips: in an uptrend, take RSI pullbacks from 60–80 back to 50–55 with a hook‑up; mirror for downtrends.
- (Optional) Confluence: combine with MA/structure; color cues keep bias obvious.
Inputs that matter
- RSI period — responsiveness vs stability (14 default).
- OB/OS levels — common 70/30; extremes 80/20.
- Smoothing — optional RSI smoothing for cleaner color transitions.
- Alerts — OB/OS touch/exit, 50 cross, slope change.
- Colors/widths — fast visual read.
Suggested usage
- M5–M15: pullbacks after momentum flips.
- M30–H4: swing continuations; OB/OS resets.
- Daily+: regime read and risk tilt.
