RSI Filter Forex Indicator is a modified version of the RSI indicator designed for MetaTrader 5, intended specifically as a strategy filter.
The indicator checks RSI’s position relative to the 30 and 70 thresholds. It defines three states based on clean breakouts:
- Above — when RSI rises cleanly above 70 and carries that state from the previous bar,
- Below — when RSI falls cleanly below 30 and carries that state from the previous bar,
- Neutral — when RSI moves between 40 and 60.
This design filters RSI values more aggressively than the standard version. Traders can apply it to other indicators — for example, pairing it with Momentum may sharpen entry timing.
Shorter RSI periods work best in the RSI Filter Forex Indicator. Longer periods produce fewer 30/70 breakouts, reducing signal frequency and usefulness. A period of 10 or less is the widely accepted range.
