RSI is a very popular technical forex indicator used in many forex strategies and systems.
The Breakout RSI indicator is based on the traditional RSI indicator and provides traders with bullish and bearish breakout signals.
The indicator tells you whether the pair is trending up or down and displays the breakout price to go either long or short (see image below).
In order to maximize profits, confirm the breakout trade with price action or other technical tools.
The breakout RSI can be used to trade short-term breakouts off the 5-minute charts (good for scalping) or more significant breakouts off the 1-hour, 4-hour charts and daily charts (good for day trading and swing trading).
