Die Idee in einfachen Worten

In healthy uptrends prices tend to close higher than they open; in downtrends lower. RVI compares the close-minus-open with the high-minus-low over recent candles.

So wird gerechnet

A smoothed close − open divided by a smoothed high − low, averaged over 10 candles; the signal line is a short weighted average of RVI.

Num = weighted (close − open) of the last 4 candles (weights 1, 2, 2, 1, ÷ 6)
Den = weighted (high − low) of the last 4 candles
RVI = SMA(Num, 10) ÷ SMA(Den, 10)
Signal = (RVI + 2×RVI₁ + 2×RVI₂ + RVI₃) ÷ 6

Anwendung

  • RVI crossing above its signal line: momentum turning up; below: turning down.
  • Divergences with the price warn of reversals.

Schlüsse ziehen

  • Best combined with the trend: buy crossovers in uptrends.

Beispiel

After a slide, RVI crosses above its signal line while the price makes a slightly lower low: a bullish divergence.

Kurse in Beispielen dienen der Veranschaulichung.

Worauf man achten sollte

  • Crossovers are frequent; filter them with the trend.
