Delta-RSI Oscillator Strategy:

This strategy illustrates the use of the recently published Delta-RSI Oscillator as a stand-alone indicator.

Delta-RSI represents a smoothed time derivative of the RSI , plotted as a histogram and serving as a momentum indicator .

There are three optional conditions to generate trading signals (set separately for Buy, Sell and Exit signals): Zero-crossing: bullish when D-RSI crosses zero from negative to positive values ( bearish otherwise) Signal Line Crossing: bullish when D-RSI crosses from below to above the signal line ( bearish otherwise) Direction Change: bullish when D-RSI was negative and starts ascending ( bearish otherwise) Since D-RSI oscillator is based on polynomial fitting of the RSI curve, there is also an option to filter trade signal by means of the root mean-square error of the fit (normalized by the sample average).

//
// A strategy that uses Delta-RSI Oscillator (© tbiktag) as a stand-alone indicator:
// https://www.tradingview.com/script/OXQVFTQD-Delta-RSI-Oscillator/
//
// Delta-RSI is a smoothed time derivative of the RSI, plotted as a histogram 
// and serving as a momentum indicator. 
// 
// Input parameters:
// RSI Length: The timeframe of the RSI that serves as an input to D-RSI.
// Length: The length of the lookback frame used for local regression.
// Polynomial Order: The order of the local polynomial function used to interpolate the RSI.
// Signal Length: The length of a EMA of the D-RSI series that is used as a signal line.
// Trade signals are generated based on three optional conditions:
// - Zero-crossing: bullish when D-RSI crosses zero from negative to positive values (bearish otherwise)
// - Signal Line Crossing: bullish when D-RSI crosses from below to above the signal line (bearish otherwise)
// - Direction Change: bullish when D-RSI was negative and starts ascending (bearish otherwise)
//
// Since D-RSI oscillator is based on polynomial fitting of the RSI curve, there is also an option
// to filter trade signal by means of the root mean-square error of the fit (normalized by the sample average).
