If I just want to add the mtf time frame script into existing RSI with divergence would the below code is sufficient or there is more to it?

input agg = AggregationPeriod.DAY;


Thanks
 
Quick code. See if it works.

Code:
# RSI_With_Divergence
# Mobius
# V01.01.2013
# 4.15.2019
#hint:<b>RSI with Divergence</b>
# Note: Install this as a new study. Save this study using the name above (the first line of code RSI_With_Divergence).
# To use this study as a scan; DO NOT TRY TO LOAD IT DIRECTLY IN THE SCANNER, IT WILL THROW AN ERROR MESSAGE. Go to the scan tab. Delete any existing scan criteria. Click Add Study Filter. Click the window under Criteria. In that drop down menu click Custom. Delete the existing study. Click Add Condition. Click the down arrow in the Select A Condition window. Click Study. Scroll down the List till you find RSI_With_Divergence and click it. Click on the Plot window and you can choose Dhigh or Dlow in addition to the default plot RSI. If you choose either of the divergence siganls choose is True from the center column. Click on the aggregation period at the top left and set the aggregation period you want scaned. Then click Save and when the popup window shows the warning that this is a custom scan chose OK. Now put the list of stocks you wish to scan in the Scan In box and chose any list you want that to intersect with. If you wish to make this a Dynamic WatchList, save this scan with a name such as RSI_With_Div_WL then in your Gadgets box click the little gear icon, locate the name of the scan you just saved and click it. As equities match the scan criteria they will populate the list.

# End Code RSI with Divergence
 
Hello,

If you guys have MTF RSI please post it. If not, would somebody please code it?

Thank you.
 
@horserider Thank you, but it doesn't seem to be correct. I'm on 8 minutes and selected to plot RSI on 15 minutes. I have a separate 15-min chart with RSI on it, the MTF RSI doesn't match the one on 15 minutes.
 
@horserider I've checked it again. It does not seem to match TOS' RSI on the same time frame.

Edit: I've found an issue and fixed it. Mobius' code uses a modified RSI not the original one, that was the issue.

@horserider thank you so much for the indicator, do you have any idea on how to make it MTF for the SLOWRSI? i've seen good results with the following setup. I just don't know how to put an aggregation to the close with the "def ema = ExpAverage(close, emaLength);"
Code:
#
# TD Ameritrade IP Company, Inc. (c) 2015-2020
#

declare lower;

input emaLength = 5;
input rsiLength = 10;
input over_bought = 80;
input over_sold = 20;

def ema = ExpAverage(close, emaLength);
def netChgAvg = WildersAverage(close - ema, rsiLength);
def totChgAvg = WildersAverage(AbsValue(close - ema), rsiLength);
def chgRatio = if totChgAvg != 0 then netChgAvg / totChgAvg else 0;

plot SlowRSI = 50 * (chgRatio + 1);
plot OverBought = over_bought;
plot MiddleLine = 50;
plot OverSold = over_sold;

SlowRSI.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(8));
OverBought.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(5));
MiddleLine.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(5));
MiddleLine.SetStyle(Curve.LONG_DASH);
OverSold.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(5));
 
Thanks for the indicator mine does not show the cloud or the green and red line it only shows as a single line.
 
@Katsu Make sure your current timeframe is not higher than what is being set in the indicator. Ex: If you have the RSI set to 2min chart but you're on the 5min chart, then most likely it will not display properly.
 
@Katsu Make sure to understand what you are using. This is the MTF version of the RSI indicator. It just allows you to view the RSI from a higher timeframe without changing to that timeframe. Does that make sense?
