Stoch RSI

Indicators

• Value

Stoch RSI

RSI 14 · 14 candles · 3 · 3

• %K
• %D

This is how the node looks on the board: inputs on the left, outputs on the right.

Where the RSI sits in its range, 0–100. Applies the stochastic to the RSI: 0 means the RSI is at the low of the last candles, 100 at their high. This makes the Stoch RSI react much faster than the RSI itself and reach the extremes more often. Above 80 counts as overbought, below 20 as oversold. %K is the smoothed line, %D its average. Example: “%K crosses above %D” while %K is below 20 shows an early turning point after a pullback.

What it looks like

• Price (close of each candle)
• %K
• %D
• below 20 and above 80
• %K crosses above %D, below 20

Top: the price; bottom: the Stoch RSI of the same 1-hour candles. It swings from one end to the other much more often than the RSI itself. At the dots %K crosses above %D while both are still below 20.

Settings

The settings appear on the right under “Properties” once you click the node on the board. Below each field you find the same explanation as here.

RSI candles

Default: 14 · from 2 to 100, whole number

How many candles the underlying RSI looks at. 14 is the usual value.

Stochastic candles

Default: 14 · from 2 to 200, whole number

How many candles the high and the low of the RSI are taken from. 14 is usual. Fewer candles make the line even faster and jumpier.

%K smoothing

Default: 3 · from 1 to 50, whole number

How many candles %K is smoothed over, usually 3. With 1, %K often jumps back and forth between 0 and 100.

%D signal line

Default: 3 · from 1 to 50, whole number

How many candles %K is averaged over to form the %D signal line, usually 3. When %K crosses %D, the momentum turns.

Example

An early turning point: %K crosses above %D while %K is still below 20.

How to connect the nodes:

1. Candle (Price) → Stoch RSI (Value)
2. Stoch RSI (%K) → Compare A/B (A)
3. Stoch RSI (%D) → Compare A/B (B)
4. Stoch RSI (%K) → Compare (Value)
5. Compare A/B (true/false) → AND (Signal 1)
6. Compare (true/false) → AND (Signal 2)
7. AND (all true) → Push (Trigger)

On the board it reads: RSI 14 · 14 candles · 3 · 3

Good to know

• In messages the values are called “Stoch RSI %K 14”, “Stoch RSI %D 14”.
• Warm-up with the default settings: 161 candles (this many extra candles are loaded by the replay before the value is reliable).
• Search also finds it under: stoch rsi, stochrsi, rsi, stochastic, overbought, oversold, momentum.

Technical details

Wilder’s RSI, then 100 · (RSI − lowest RSI) / (highest RSI − lowest RSI) over the stochastic candles, %K as its SMA, %D as the SMA of %K; the same formula as TradingView’s built-in Stoch RSI with ta.rsi and ta.stoch.
