		Hello, 
 
Is there a way to show a custom indicator when the 2 period RSI cumulative over the last 2 trading days is under 30 for example? 
 
I saw under add--cusotm indicator---cumulative but not sure how to apply the method. 
 
Thanks

		I'm not sure what is meant by a 2-Period RSI cumulative Indicator. 
 
If you are adding RSI values over time to each ether, you could use the Custom Cumulative Indicator. But this doesn't seem like it is what you want because the Value would then be meaningless. 
 
If you mean a 2-Period RSI with Use Wilders Smoothing checked and an Avg Period of 1, you could write a formula for this being less than 30 as: 
 
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 < 30

		I realize now my question was not clear.  I am looking to create and indicator which would show me when the 2 period wilders rsi over the last two days when added together is less than 30.

		That would depend on the exact settings of your RSI: 
 
- RSI Period: 2 
- Use Wilders Smoothing: Checked or Unchecked? 
- Avg Period: ? 
- Average Type: Simple or Exponential (doesn't matter if the Avg Period is 1)?

		[QUOTE=Bruce_L]Sum of 2 most recent 2-Period Wilders Smoothed RSIs < 30: 
 
Bruce: I do not believe this formula works correctly. Using "IBM", 2/23/09 has an RSI-2 (Wilder smoothing) value of 2.27, and 43.72 on 2/24/09. The sum is not < 30, yet your Percent True Custom Indicator indictes this is the case.  Am I missing something?

		I'd averaged them instead of just adding them. Getting rid of the  () / 2 should correct this:

Notes:  
. The 2 period Wilder’s RSI has no moving average; so the simple and EMA  
calculations have the same sort values. 
. Ignore the window’s horizontal lines - the lines are worthless for the Cumm 
RSI. Refer to the numeric values in Column 2. 
. View the bigger picture, use numeric Sort Values. Looking at equities with 
True Sort Values is like wearing blinders - you can miss really good trades 
by less than 1 cent.  
  
Keep It Simple and Succinct (KISS), Larry Conner’s trading ‘rules’ require 
only the simplest of formulas.

		how might I write a RSI2 crossing its own 2ema up and down 
 
and (XAvgC3) - (XAvgC13) crossing its own ema2 three days in a row? 
 
I don't see benefit of Wilder's smooth so I am simply looking for RSI2. 
 
Thank you in advance!

		Quiktdr, 
Unsmoothed RSI2 xUp its own EMA2: 
 
RSI2 > XAVG(RSI2,2) AND RSI2.1 <= XAVG(RSI2.1,2) 
 
Unsmoothed RSI2 xDn its own EMA2: 
 
RSI2 < XAVG(RSI2,2) AND RSI2.1 >= XAVG(RSI2.1,2) 
 
Unsmoothed RSI2 crossing its own EMA2 (either direction): 
 
SGN(RSI2 - XAVG(RSI2,2)) <> SGN(RSI2.1 - XAVG(RSI2.1,2)) 
 
(XAvgC3) - (XAvgC13) crossing its own ema2 three days in a row: 
 
SGN(XAVGC3 - XAVGC13 - XAVG(XAVGC3,2) + XAVG(XAVGC13,2)) <> SGN(XAVGC3.1 - XAVGC13.1 - XAVG(XAVGC3.1,2) + XAVG(XAVGC13.1,2)) AND SGN(XAVGC3.1 - XAVGC13.1 - XAVG(XAVGC3.1,2) + XAVG(XAVGC13.1,2)) <> SGN(XAVGC3.2 - XAVGC13.2 - XAVG(XAVGC3.2,2) + XAVG(XAVGC13.2,2)) AND SGN(XAVGC3.2 - XAVGC13.2 - XAVG(XAVGC3.2,2) + XAVG(XAVGC13.2,2)) <> SGN(XAVGC3.3 - XAVGC13.3 - XAVG(XAVGC3.3,2) + XAVG(XAVGC13.3,2))

		This was my attempt, what is the difference, XAVG(RSI2,2) > XAVG(RSI2.2,2) AND XAVG(RSI2.1.1,2) <= XAVG(RSI2.2.1,2) 
 
Thank you in advance!

		Quiktdr, 
My versions would be for an RSI with the following settings crossing through its own 2-Period Exponential Moving Average: 
 
- RSI Period: 2 
- Use Wilders Smoothing: Unchecked 
- Avg Period: 1 
- Average Type: Doesn't matter (because the Avg Period is 1) 
 
Your version would be for an RSI with the following settings crossing up through its own 2-Period Simple Moving Average: 
 
- RSI Period: 2 
- Use Wilders Smoothing: Unchecked 
- Avg Period: 2 
- Average Type: Exponential 
 
The reason is that the RSI2.2 is a 2-Period Simple Moving Average of the otherwise unsmoothed RSI. The syntax that is generally useful in constructing RSI formulas follows: 
 
Indicator: 
 
RSIx.y.z -> RSI (not Wilder's Smoothed) 
 
Functions: 
 
AVG(w,x) -> Simple Moving Average 
XAVG(w,x) -> Exponential moving Average 
 
Where w is the Number or Indicator to which a Function is applied. 
- w cannot be a formula or function for AVG() or XAVG() 
Where x is the Period of the Indicator or Function. 
Where y is a the Period of an additional Simple Moving Average. 
Where z is the number of Periods Ago. 
- z can also be a date. May 3, 2007 would be (single quotes required): '05/03/07' 
 
The arguments in indicators are separated by periods while the arguments in functions are separated by commas.
