Limitations

  • RSI can remain above 70 during strong trends.
  • A threshold condition does not identify the exact moment RSI crossed 70.
  • Indicator warm-up or missing values produce no match until a supported value is available.
  • This is not a sell signal.

The final saved alert is checked against current validation and plan entitlements. Plan details and pricing are available after sign in.
