FAQ

What makes this a real crossover alert?
The rule compares previous and current RSI and RSI MA values and requires the two series to change sides.
Is RSI MA a moving average of price?
No. It is a moving average of RSI values.
Can I create the opposite cross?
Yes. A supported cross-down rule can monitor RSI moving from at or above RSI MA to below it.
Can I combine the crossover with EMA or volume?
Yes, when the current plan permits a multi-condition alert and the additional condition is supported.
