title: relativeStrengthIndex() function
|
||||
description: >
|
||||
The `relativeStrengthIndex()` function is a momentum indicator that compares the
|
||||
magnitude of recent increases and decreases of values over a period of time period
|
||||
to measure the speed and change of data movements.
|
||||
The `relativeStrengthIndex()` function measures the relative speed and change of
|

##### Relative strength index rules:
|
||||
- The general equation for calculating a relative strength index (RSI) is
|
||||
`RSI = 100 - (100 / (1 + (AVG GAIN / AVG LOSS)))`.
|
||||
- For the first value of the RSI, `AVG GAIN` and `AVG LOSS` are simple `n`-period averages.
|
||||
- For the first value of the RSI, `AVG GAIN` and `AVG LOSS` are averages of the `n` period.
|
||||
- For subsequent calculations:
|
||||
- `AVG GAIN` = `((PREVIOUS AVG GAIN) * (n - 1)) / n`
|
||||
- `AVG LOSS` = `((PREVIOUS AVG LOSS) * (n - 1)) / n`
