TASC's January 2022 edition Traders' Tips includes the "(Yet Another Improved) RSI Enhanced With Hann Windowing" article authored by John Ehlers. Once again John Ehlers revolutionizes the RSI indicator.
By employing a Hann windowed finite impulse response filter (FIR), John Ehlers has enhanced the "Relative Strength Indicator" (RSI) to provide an improved oscillator with exceptional smoothness.
The method of calculations using "closes up" and "closes down" from Welles Wilder's RSI described in his 1978 book is still inherent to Ehlers enhanced formula. However, a finite impulse response (FIR) Hann windowing technique is employed following the closes up/down calculations instead of the original Wilder infinite impulse response averaging filter. The resulting oscillator waveform is confined between +/-1.0 with a 0.0 centerline regardless of chart interval, as opposed to Wilder's original formulation, which was confined between 0 and 100 with a centerline of 50. On any given trading timeframe, the value of Ehlers' enhanced RSI found above the centerline typically represents an overvalued region, while undervalued regions are typically found below the centerline.
In this update to the v2v dynamic trading system is a fusion between RSI with Hann windowing (RSI H) and dynamic MyNET. In such a fusion between the two, RSI H is reborn with inherent features/functions shared within the v2v dynamic trading system architecture.
