Enhanced PercentR 5 SMA CrossOver Indicator by @netarchitech fresh out of the oven! Can't wait to test it out in live market! Thank You for improving this concept...This indicator gives clear signals with the breakout arrows and the longer lasting colors of the PercentR in the OB/OS conditions...The signals also tend to come on quicker vs regular RSI SMA CrossOver...Anyone looking at the RSI 5 SMA CrossOver should check this thing out and pair it with the MACD/FREMA also enhanced by @netarchitech

Hi, please use the search function, there are many examples of how to do this. Thanks.

@markos Actually that was a rather odd request if you think about it. RSI is a bounded oscillator with values between -100 and +100. There is really no way to calculate when that would ever cross a moving average. AMZN currently has an RSI of 56 and a EMA(5) of 1789. They won't cross anytime soon

@tomsk yes it will. The EMA that is used in this indicator is using RSI as the input instead of close. Your example has close as an input not RSI. If you set EMA's input as RSI it will cross RSI

Yup @tomsk anything is possible. Until I got to this site, I had never considered slowing down that classic indicator :) JC at simplerstuff must have sold it recently 🤣

@korygill What I am trying to do is scan for a number of periods where the prsiMA is above or below the RSI. So in example RsiMA> RSI for 20 days.

Can someone point me in the right direction please?

Thanks in advance!

Jim
