I have noticed there is a difference between the rsi2 returned in a pcf and the value obtained on a chart when wilder smoothing is applied. Is there a formula that can be used to apply wilder smoothing to an rsi2.1 in a pcf? thank you. Jerald kuhn

One way to write a Personal Criteria Formula for an approximation of a 2-Period Wilder's Smoothed RSI would be:

50 * (C - XAVGC3.1) / 2 / (.500030519440884 * (ABS(C - C1) + .5 * (ABS(C1 - C2) + .5 * (ABS(C2 - C3) + .5 * (ABS(C3 - C4) + .5 * (ABS(C4 - C5) + .5 * (ABS(C5 - C6) + .5 * (ABS(C6 - C7) + .5 * (ABS(C7 - C8) + .5 * (ABS(C8 - C9) + .5 * (ABS(C9 - C10) + .5 * (ABS(C10 - C11) + .5 * (ABS(C11 - C12) + .5 * (ABS(C12 - C13) + .5 * (ABS(C13 - C14)))))))))))))))) + 50

The PCF for the previous bar would be:

50 * (C1 - XAVGC3.2) / 2 / (.500030519440884 * (ABS(C1 - C2) + .5 * (ABS(C2 - C3) + .5 * (ABS(C3 - C4) + .5 * (ABS(C4 - C5) + .5 * (ABS(C5 - C6) + .5 * (ABS(C6 - C7) + .5 * (ABS(C7 - C8) + .5 * (ABS(C8 - C9) + .5 * (ABS(C9 - C10) + .5 * (ABS(C10 - C11) + .5 * (ABS(C11 - C12) + .5 * (ABS(C12 - C13) + .5 * (ABS(C13 - C14) + .5 * (ABS(C14 - C15)))))))))))))))) + 50
