The flattening characteristic of a traditional RSI limits its usefulness.
Such is the case when the periods of the RSI gets assigned to bigger values, which leads to the “flattening” of the RSI.
The phenomena is dependent on the length of the RSI, and demands that only a certain range of values for the RSI is worth using.
However, the idea behind the RSI Floating Levels Signals Metatrader 5 custom indicator is to eliminate the flattening flaw by allowing usable values even on longer lengths (floating levels), thus giving new life to the good old RSI.
Evidently, one is able to use longer period RSI values on the RSI Floating Levels Signals MT5 forex indicator without losing its signals as witnessed on the basic RSI.
