RSO is short for Relative Strength Oscillator and the RSO Metatrader 4 Indicator is an oscillator variant of the traditional RSI indicator.
The indicator has a readable symmetry and is more suitable for comparison.
The levels that are present on the RSO Indicator are plus/minus 20 and plus/minus 50, where the former represents overbought/over levels and the latter depicts extreme-overbought/extreme-oversold regions.
The colored bars that are added on the RSO Indicator are just for clarity sake.
The lime bars are used to illustrate increasing RSO, while the red bar show decreasing RSO.
When the RSO is above +20, the first red bar that pops up reveals a possible change in direction.
