Stochastic RSI
Oscillators, Stoch RSI
- What it shows
The stochastic formula applied to RSI instead of price, so it moves faster and swings more between its extremes.
- How it is built
It takes where RSI sits within its own recent range and smooths the result into K and D lines.
Default: RSI length 14, stochastic length 14, K 3, D 3.
- How traders read it
- Reaches the extremes more often than RSI.
- K crossing D is used as a timing signal.
- It is sensitive, so confirmation with price is useful.
- History
