Fast RSI cross Slow RSI

[natedaag]

Hi
This is my first ever attempt at coding a ThinkScript, but my indi is pretty basic. I'd like an arrow to appear on the chart when the RSI(6) crosses the RSI(14), and vice versa. It seems to work, but I think it uses the WILDERS average type, and I can't figure out how to change that. I'd rather it defaulted to exponential, but with the ability to change it.

Any help would be appreciated.

input rsi1_len = 6;
input rsi2_len = 14;

def rsi1 = RSI(length = rsi1_len);
def rsi2 = RSI(length = rsi2_len);

def bull_cross = rsi1 crosses above rsi2;
def bear_cross = rsi1 crosses below rsi2;

plot GU = bull_cross;
GU.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_UP);
GU.SetDefaultColor(Color.YELLOW);
GU.SetLineWeight(2);

plot GX = bear_cross;
GX.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_DOWN);
GX.SetDefaultColor(Color.PINK);
GX.SetLineWeight(2);

Welcome and nice work!

You can create an input and reference in the RSI() as you did for length for averagetype.

Since there were other input variables between the length and averagetype, you need to reference the input name. If there were not, then you would not need that reference. It is always good practice to arrange your inputs in the RSI() Inspector in the order they are showing there. For example, length, overbought, oversold, .... etc.

input rsi1_len = 6;
input rsi2_len = 14;
input avgtype  = averageType.EXPONENTIAL;

def rsi1 = RSI(length = rsi1_len, averagetype=avgtype);
def rsi2 = RSI(length = rsi2_len, averagetype=avgtype);

def bull_cross = rsi1 crosses above rsi2;
def bear_cross = rsi1 crosses below rsi2;

plot GU = bull_cross;
GU.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_UP);
GU.SetDefaultColor(Color.YELLOW);
GU.SetLineWeight(2);

plot GX = bear_cross;
GX.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_DOWN);
GX.SetDefaultColor(Color.PINK);
GX.SetLineWeight(2);
