Price Structure RSI
Overview
Price Structure RSI is a market-structure oscillator that converts confirmed structural breaks into a cumulative directional series and then applies the Relative Strength Index calculation to that series.
Unlike a traditional RSI, which is calculated directly from price changes, this indicator measures how previously identified pivot highs and pivot lows are being broken.
The oscillator includes:
- market-structure-based RSI
- configurable RSI length
- configurable overbought and oversold levels
- Close or High/Low structure-break confirmation
- optional EMA, SMA, or WMA smoothing
- confirmed bullish and bearish signals
- dark and light colour presets
- gradient oscillator visualization
- simplified bullish and bearish historical W/L panels
- configurable target and stop distances
- configurable panel positions
- bullish and bearish alerts
The indicator is intended to help users examine whether recent market-structure breaks are producing stronger bullish or bearish pressure.
It does not predict future price movement and does not provide automatic instructions to enter or exit a trade.
Open-source reuse and credits
Price Structure RSI is a modified and expanded derivative of the open-source indicator "Market Structure RSI" by ClayeWeight.
The original pivot detection, stored structure levels, broken-structure accumulation, cumulative structure total, RSI transformation, moving-average selection, threshold-crossing signals, and alert framework were adapted from ClayeWeight's work.
This version adds:
- Pine Script v6 compatibility
- dark and light colour presets
- revised oscillator colours and gradient fills
- confirmed-bar signal processing
- configurable historical target and stop measurements
- next-bar outcome evaluation
- conservative same-bar target and stop handling
- separate bullish and bearish W/L panels
- configurable panel positioning and offsets
- additional input validation
- revised alert messages

Core methodology
The indicator first identifies simple confirmed pivot highs and pivot lows.
A pivot high is identified when:
- the centre candle has a higher high than the candle before it
- the centre candle has a higher high than the candle after it
A pivot low is identified when:
- the centre candle has a lower low than the candle before it
- the centre candle has a lower low than the candle after it
Because the script evaluates historical candles, the pivot is recognized only after the necessary later candle has closed.
Confirmed pivot-high prices are stored in an array.
Confirmed pivot-low prices are stored in a separate array.
Structure breaks
The indicator checks whether stored pivot levels have been broken.
Users can select one of two Structure Break Type settings:
- Close
- High/Low
When Close is selected:
- a stored pivot high is considered broken when the previous candle closes above it
- a stored pivot low is considered broken when the previous candle closes below it
When High/Low is selected:
- a stored pivot high is considered broken when the previous candle high moves above it
- a stored pivot low is considered broken when the previous candle low moves below it
When one or more stored pivot highs are broken, positive values are added to the cumulative structure total.
When one or more stored pivot lows are broken, negative values are added to the cumulative structure total.
Broken levels are removed from their respective arrays so that the same structure level is not counted repeatedly.
Cumulative structure total
Each broken pivot high contributes:
- +1
Each broken pivot low contributes:
- -1
If several stored structure levels are broken together, several values can be added during the same calculation.
The script then calculates the cumulative sum of these positive and negative structure changes.
A rising structure total indicates that more stored pivot highs are being broken.
A falling structure total indicates that more stored pivot lows are being broken.
Structure RSI
The Relative Strength Index calculation is applied to the cumulative structure total rather than directly to price.
The default RSI Length is:
- 20
The resulting oscillator is called the Structure RSI.
Higher Structure RSI values indicate that bullish structure breaks have recently had greater influence on the cumulative series.
Lower Structure RSI values indicate that bearish structure breaks have recently had greater influence.
The Structure RSI should not be interpreted as a standard price RSI because its input is the cumulative structure-break series rather than normal closing-price changes.
Overbought and oversold levels
The default levels are:
- Overbought Level: 80
- Oversold Level: 20
The Oversold Level must remain below the Overbought Level.
The script displays an error when the oversold setting is equal to or above the overbought setting.
The levels are configurable and should be treated as analytical thresholds rather than universally optimal settings.
Bullish signal
A bullish signal occurs when the Structure RSI crosses upward through the selected Oversold Level.
The signal is confirmed only after the chart candle closes.
The bullish marker appears at the bottom of the oscillator pane.
A bullish signal indicates that the structure-based oscillator has recovered above its lower threshold.
It does not guarantee that price will continue higher.
Bearish signal
A bearish signal occurs when the Structure RSI crosses downward through the selected Overbought Level.
The signal is confirmed only after the chart candle closes.
The bearish marker appears at the top of the oscillator pane.
A bearish signal indicates that the structure-based oscillator has moved back below its upper threshold.
It does not guarantee that price will continue lower.
Moving average
An optional moving average can be applied to the Structure RSI.
Available moving-average types are:
- EMA
- SMA
- WMA
The default settings are:
- Moving Average Type: EMA
- Moving Average Length: 8
The moving average can be used to observe the smoother direction of the Structure RSI.
The moving average does not directly create the bullish or bearish threshold signals.
Hiding the moving average does not change the Structure RSI calculation.
Oscillator colours
The Structure RSI line changes colour according to its current position.
- Above the Overbought Level: bearish colour
- Below the Oversold Level: bullish colour
- Between the two levels: neutral grey
The oscillator also includes:
- a dashed overbought line
- a dashed oversold line
- a dotted 50 midline
- a neutral background fill between the main levels
- bullish and bearish gradient fills
- optional dark and light colour presets
The colour settings change presentation only.
They do not alter the structure calculation or signal logic.
Confirmed signals
Bullish and bearish signals are accepted only on confirmed chart bars.
The script does not finalize a signal solely because the Structure RSI temporarily crosses a threshold while the active candle is still open.
Values may still move while the current chart candle develops.
The final marker and alert are generated only after the candle closes with the crossing condition confirmed.
Historical W/L measurements
The indicator includes simplified historical bullish and bearish outcome measurements.
These measurements are not a complete TradingView strategy backtest.
When no measurement is currently active, a confirmed signal can begin a new historical measurement.
For a bullish signal:
- the signal candle close becomes the recorded entry price
- the target is placed above the recorded entry
- the stop is placed below the recorded entry
For a bearish signal:
- the signal candle close becomes the recorded entry price
- the target is placed below the recorded entry
- the stop is placed above the recorded entry
Only one unresolved historical measurement is tracked at a time.
Target distance
Target Distance (%) controls the percentage distance between the recorded signal close and the historical target.
The default value is:
- 1.0%
For a bullish measurement:
- Target = Entry Price × (1 + Target Percentage)
For a bearish measurement:
- Target = Entry Price × (1 - Target Percentage)
The minimum allowed target distance is 0.1%.
Stop distance
Stop Distance (%) controls the percentage distance between the recorded signal close and the historical stop.
The default value is:
- 1.0%
For a bullish measurement:
- Stop = Entry Price × (1 - Stop Percentage)
For a bearish measurement:
- Stop = Entry Price × (1 + Stop Percentage)
The minimum allowed stop distance is 0.1%.
Next-bar evaluation
Target and stop evaluation begins on the bar after the signal.
The signal candle itself is not used to determine the result.
This prevents price movement that occurred earlier during the signal candle from being counted after the entry has been recorded at that candle's close.
Wins and losses
The tables use the following labels:
- W = Win
- L = Loss
A win means that the configured target was reached before the configured stop.
A loss means that the configured stop was reached before the configured target.
The displayed percentage is:
- Wins divided by completed Wins and Losses
Bullish and bearish measurements are counted separately.
Same-bar target and stop handling
A chart candle can sometimes touch both the target and stop.
Standard OHLC chart data does not reveal which level was reached first inside that candle.
When both levels are touched during the same bar, the script records a loss.
This conservative rule avoids automatically assuming the more favourable outcome.
The script does not reconstruct lower-timeframe intrabar movement.
One active measurement at a time
Only one unresolved historical measurement can be active.
When a measurement is already active:
- later bullish or bearish signals can still appear
- later signals can still trigger alerts
- later signals do not start another W/L measurement
- the active measurement remains open until its target or stop is reached
An opposite signal does not automatically close the existing measurement.
This means that not every displayed signal is included in the W/L panels.
Bull panel
The Bull panel displays results from completed bullish measurements.
The panel contains:
- Bull
- W: number of bullish targets reached first
- L: number of bullish stops reached first
- percentage of completed bullish measurements recorded as wins
The Bull panel position can be selected from the available chart locations.
Bear panel
The Bear panel displays results from completed bearish measurements.
The panel contains:
- Bear
- W: number of bearish targets reached first
- L: number of bearish stops reached first
- percentage of completed bearish measurements recorded as wins
The Bear panel position can be selected independently from the Bull panel.
Panel positions and offsets
The Bull and Bear panels can be placed at:
- top left
- top centre
- top right
- middle left
- middle centre
- middle right
- bottom left
- bottom centre
- bottom right
Row and column offsets can be used to move each panel within the available position grid.
Negative row values move the selected panel upward.
Positive row values move it downward.
Negative column values move it to the left.
Positive column values move it to the right.
The final position is restricted to the available TradingView table locations.
The panels can overlap when both are assigned to the same effective position.
Meaning of the displayed percentage
The percentage represents the share of completed measurements where the configured target was reached before the configured stop.
It is not:
- a guaranteed win rate
- proof of future profitability
- a complete strategy result
- a recommendation to enter a trade
- a forecast of future performance
The historical measurement does not include:
- commissions
- spread
- slippage
- liquidity
- order execution
- position sizing
- account equity
- partial exits
- trailing stops
- market gaps
- order rejection
- overlapping positions
- complete intrabar sequencing
Historical results do not guarantee future results.
Alerts
The indicator includes two alert conditions:
- Bullish Signal
- Bearish Signal
The Bullish Signal alert is triggered when the Structure RSI crosses upward through the Oversold Level on a confirmed chart bar.
The Bearish Signal alert is triggered when the Structure RSI crosses downward through the Overbought Level on a confirmed chart bar.
When creating TradingView alerts, use:
- Once Per Bar Close
This matches the confirmed signal logic.
How to Use
1. Apply the indicator
Add Price Structure RSI to a standard TradingView chart.
The oscillator appears in a separate pane below the main price chart.
2. Begin with the default settings
The default configuration is:
- RSI Length: 20
- Overbought Level: 80
- Oversold Level: 20
- Structure Break Type: High/Low
- Moving Average Type: EMA
- Moving Average Length: 8
- Target Distance: 1.0%
- Stop Distance: 1.0%
Review the indicator with its default configuration before changing several settings simultaneously.
3. Select the structure-break type
Choose High/Low when a stored structure level should be considered broken as soon as the previous candle's high or low passes it.
Choose Close when the previous candle must close beyond the stored structure level.
High/Low is generally more responsive.
Close is generally more restrictive.
Neither setting is automatically more accurate.
4. Read the Structure RSI
Use the oscillator to observe the balance of recent broken pivot highs and pivot lows.
A rising oscillator indicates that bullish structure breaks are having greater recent influence.
A falling oscillator indicates that bearish structure breaks are having greater recent influence.
The oscillator can remain elevated or depressed during extended directional conditions.
5. Read the overbought area
When the Structure RSI moves above the Overbought Level, bullish structure-break pressure has pushed the oscillator into its upper region.
The bearish signal does not occur merely because the oscillator is above the level.
The bearish signal occurs only when the oscillator later crosses downward through the Overbought Level on a confirmed bar.
6. Read the oversold area
When the Structure RSI moves below the Oversold Level, bearish structure-break pressure has pushed the oscillator into its lower region.
The bullish signal does not occur merely because the oscillator is below the level.
The bullish signal occurs only when the oscillator later crosses upward through the Oversold Level on a confirmed bar.
7. Wait for the candle to close
Signals are confirmed at bar close.
Do not treat a temporary intrabar threshold crossing as a finalized signal.
Wait for the marker to remain after the chart candle closes.
8. Use the moving average
Enable the moving average to observe a smoother version of the Structure RSI.
Available types are:
- EMA
- SMA
- WMA
A shorter moving-average length reacts more quickly.
A longer moving-average length responds more slowly.
The moving average can provide visual context, but it is not part of the threshold-crossing signal condition.
9. Configure the target and stop distances
Set Target Distance (%) and Stop Distance (%) according to the historical measurement you want to study.
For example:
- Target: 1.0%
- Stop: 1.0%
This creates an equal-distance historical measurement.
Another example:
- Target: 2.0%
- Stop: 1.0%
This creates a larger target than stop.
These settings are research parameters and are not recommended trading settings.
10. Read the Bull panel
The Bull panel measures completed bullish signals.
- W means the bullish target was reached first
- L means the bullish stop was reached first
- the percentage shows bullish wins divided by completed bullish outcomes
Only signals that begin while no other measurement is active are included.
11. Read the Bear panel
The Bear panel measures completed bearish signals.
- W means the bearish target was reached first
- L means the bearish stop was reached first
- the percentage shows bearish wins divided by completed bearish outcomes
Only signals that begin while no other measurement is active are included.
12. Understand same-bar outcomes
When both the target and stop are touched during the same candle, the result is counted as a loss.
This is a conservative assumption because the chart's OHLC data cannot show which level was reached first.
13. Understand skipped measurements
A signal can appear while another historical measurement is still unresolved.
That signal can still:
- display a marker
- trigger an alert
However, it does not begin another historical measurement.
This is why the total W/L count may be lower than the total number of visible signals.
14. Position the panels
Choose separate positions for the Bull and Bear panels.
The default positions are:
- Bull panel: top left
- Bear panel: top right
Use the row and column offsets when small position adjustments are needed.
Avoid assigning both panels to the same final position unless overlapping panels are intended.
15. Select the colour preset
Use Dark Background on dark chart themes.
Use Light Background on light chart themes.
The preset changes moving-average and panel text colours.
It does not change the indicator calculations.
16. Create alerts
Create separate TradingView alerts for:
- Bullish Signal
- Bearish Signal
Use Once Per Bar Close.
Test alerts on the intended symbol and timeframe before using them operationally.
17. Review broader market context
Use Price Structure RSI together with additional analysis such as:
- trend direction
- price structure
- support and resistance
- volume
- volatility
- liquidity
- market sessions
- recent swing highs and lows
- scheduled economic or company events
- risk management
A threshold crossing alone does not guarantee a reversal or continuation.
Suggested starting process
- Apply the indicator to a standard candlestick chart
- Keep RSI Length at 20
- Keep the levels at 80 and 20
- Begin with High/Low structure breaks
- Keep the EMA smoothing line enabled
- Use a target and stop distance of 1.0%
- Wait for confirmed bar-close signals
- Compare the oscillator with visible price structure
- Review the Bull and Bear panels separately
- Remember that only one active measurement is tracked
- Test several symbols and timeframes before drawing conclusions
- Use Once Per Bar Close for alerts

Core methodology
The indicator first identifies simple confirmed pivot highs and pivot lows.
A pivot high is identified when:
- the centre candle has a higher high than the candle before it
- the centre candle has a higher high than the candle after it
A pivot low is identified when:
- the centre candle has a lower low than the candle before it
- the centre candle has a lower low than the candle after it
Because the script evaluates historical candles, the pivot is recognized only after the necessary later candle has closed.
Confirmed pivot-high prices are stored in an array.
Confirmed pivot-low prices are stored in a separate array.
Structure breaks
The indicator checks whether stored pivot levels have been broken.
Users can select one of two Structure Break Type settings:
- Close
- High/Low
When Close is selected:
- a stored pivot high is considered broken when the previous candle closes above it
- a stored pivot low is considered broken when the previous candle closes below it
When High/Low is selected:
- a stored pivot high is considered broken when the previous candle high moves above it
- a stored pivot low is considered broken when the previous candle low moves below it
When one or more stored pivot highs are broken, positive values are added to the cumulative structure total.
When one or more stored pivot lows are broken, negative values are added to the cumulative structure total.
Broken levels are removed from their respective arrays so that the same structure level is not counted repeatedly.
Cumulative structure total
Each broken pivot high contributes:
- +1
Each broken pivot low contributes:
- -1
If several stored structure levels are broken together, several values can be added during the same calculation.
The script then calculates the cumulative sum of these positive and negative structure changes.
A rising structure total indicates that more stored pivot highs are being broken.
A falling structure total indicates that more stored pivot lows are being broken.
Structure RSI
The Relative Strength Index calculation is applied to the cumulative structure total rather than directly to price.
The default RSI Length is:
- 20
The resulting oscillator is called the Structure RSI.
Higher Structure RSI values indicate that bullish structure breaks have recently had greater influence on the cumulative series.
Lower Structure RSI values indicate that bearish structure breaks have recently had greater influence.
The Structure RSI should not be interpreted as a standard price RSI because its input is the cumulative structure-break series rather than normal closing-price changes.
Overbought and oversold levels
The default levels are:
- Overbought Level: 80
- Oversold Level: 20
The Oversold Level must remain below the Overbought Level.
The script displays an error when the oversold setting is equal to or above the overbought setting.
The levels are configurable and should be treated as analytical thresholds rather than universally optimal settings.
Bullish signal
A bullish signal occurs when the Structure RSI crosses upward through the selected Oversold Level.
The signal is confirmed only after the chart candle closes.
The bullish marker appears at the bottom of the oscillator pane.
A bullish signal indicates that the structure-based oscillator has recovered above its lower threshold.
It does not guarantee that price will continue higher.
Bearish signal
A bearish signal occurs when the Structure RSI crosses downward through the selected Overbought Level.
The signal is confirmed only after the chart candle closes.
The bearish marker appears at the top of the oscillator pane.
A bearish signal indicates that the structure-based oscillator has moved back below its upper threshold.
It does not guarantee that price will continue lower.
Moving average
An optional moving average can be applied to the Structure RSI.
Available moving-average types are:
- EMA
- SMA
- WMA
The default settings are:
- Moving Average Type: EMA
- Moving Average Length: 8
The moving average can be used to observe the smoother direction of the Structure RSI.
The moving average does not directly create the bullish or bearish threshold signals.
Hiding the moving average does not change the Structure RSI calculation.
Oscillator colours
The Structure RSI line changes colour according to its current position.
- Above the Overbought Level: bearish colour
- Below the Oversold Level: bullish colour
- Between the two levels: neutral grey
The oscillator also includes:
- a dashed overbought line
- a dashed oversold line
- a dotted 50 midline
- a neutral background fill between the main levels
- bullish and bearish gradient fills
- optional dark and light colour presets
The colour settings change presentation only.
They do not alter the structure calculation or signal logic.
Confirmed signals
Bullish and bearish signals are accepted only on confirmed chart bars.
The script does not finalize a signal solely because the Structure RSI temporarily crosses a threshold while the active candle is still open.
Values may still move while the current chart candle develops.
The final marker and alert are generated only after the candle closes with the crossing condition confirmed.
Historical W/L measurements
The indicator includes simplified historical bullish and bearish outcome measurements.
These measurements are not a complete TradingView strategy backtest.
When no measurement is currently active, a confirmed signal can begin a new historical measurement.
For a bullish signal:
- the signal candle close becomes the recorded entry price
- the target is placed above the recorded entry
- the stop is placed below the recorded entry
For a bearish signal:
- the signal candle close becomes the recorded entry price
- the target is placed below the recorded entry
- the stop is placed above the recorded entry
Only one unresolved historical measurement is tracked at a time.
Target distance
Target Distance (%) controls the percentage distance between the recorded signal close and the historical target.
The default value is:
- 1.0%
For a bullish measurement:
- Target = Entry Price × (1 + Target Percentage)
For a bearish measurement:
- Target = Entry Price × (1 - Target Percentage)
The minimum allowed target distance is 0.1%.
Stop distance
Stop Distance (%) controls the percentage distance between the recorded signal close and the historical stop.
The default value is:
- 1.0%
For a bullish measurement:
- Stop = Entry Price × (1 - Stop Percentage)
For a bearish measurement:
- Stop = Entry Price × (1 + Stop Percentage)
The minimum allowed stop distance is 0.1%.
Next-bar evaluation
Target and stop evaluation begins on the bar after the signal.
The signal candle itself is not used to determine the result.
This prevents price movement that occurred earlier during the signal candle from being counted after the entry has been recorded at that candle's close.
Wins and losses
The tables use the following labels:
- W = Win
- L = Loss
A win means that the configured target was reached before the configured stop.
A loss means that the configured stop was reached before the configured target.
The displayed percentage is:
- Wins divided by completed Wins and Losses
Bullish and bearish measurements are counted separately.
Same-bar target and stop handling
A chart candle can sometimes touch both the target and stop.
Standard OHLC chart data does not reveal which level was reached first inside that candle.
When both levels are touched during the same bar, the script records a loss.
This conservative rule avoids automatically assuming the more favourable outcome.
The script does not reconstruct lower-timeframe intrabar movement.
One active measurement at a time
Only one unresolved historical measurement can be active.
When a measurement is already active:
- later bullish or bearish signals can still appear
- later signals can still trigger alerts
- later signals do not start another W/L measurement
- the active measurement remains open until its target or stop is reached
An opposite signal does not automatically close the existing measurement.
This means that not every displayed signal is included in the W/L panels.
Bull panel
The Bull panel displays results from completed bullish measurements.
The panel contains:
- Bull
- W: number of bullish targets reached first
- L: number of bullish stops reached first
- percentage of completed bullish measurements recorded as wins
The Bull panel position can be selected from the available chart locations.
Bear panel
The Bear panel displays results from completed bearish measurements.
The panel contains:
- Bear
- W: number of bearish targets reached first
- L: number of bearish stops reached first
- percentage of completed bearish measurements recorded as wins
The Bear panel position can be selected independently from the Bull panel.
Panel positions and offsets
The Bull and Bear panels can be placed at:
- top left
- top centre
- top right
- middle left
- middle centre
- middle right
- bottom left
- bottom centre
- bottom right
Row and column offsets can be used to move each panel within the available position grid.
Negative row values move the selected panel upward.
Positive row values move it downward.
Negative column values move it to the left.
Positive column values move it to the right.
The final position is restricted to the available TradingView table locations.
The panels can overlap when both are assigned to the same effective position.
Meaning of the displayed percentage
The percentage represents the share of completed measurements where the configured target was reached before the configured stop.
It is not:
- a guaranteed win rate
- proof of future profitability
- a complete strategy result
- a recommendation to enter a trade
- a forecast of future performance
The historical measurement does not include:

Alerts
The indicator includes two alert conditions:
- Bullish Signal
- Bearish Signal
The Bullish Signal alert is triggered when the Structure RSI crosses upward through the Oversold Level on a confirmed chart bar.
The Bearish Signal alert is triggered when the Structure RSI crosses downward through the Overbought Level on a confirmed chart bar.
When creating TradingView alerts, use:
- Once Per Bar Close
This matches the confirmed signal logic.
How to Use
1. Apply the indicator
Add Price Structure RSI to a standard TradingView chart.
The oscillator appears in a separate pane below the main price chart.
2. Begin with the default settings
The default configuration is:
- RSI Length: 20
- Overbought Level: 80
- Oversold Level: 20
- Structure Break Type: High/Low
- Moving Average Type: EMA
- Moving Average Length: 8
- Target Distance: 1.0%
- Stop Distance: 1.0%
Review the indicator with its default configuration before changing several settings simultaneously.
3. Select the structure-break type
Choose High/Low when a stored structure level should be considered broken as soon as the previous candle's high or low passes it.
Choose Close when the previous candle must close beyond the stored structure level.
High/Low is generally more responsive.
Close is generally more restrictive.
Neither setting is automatically more accurate.
4. Read the Structure RSI
Use the oscillator to observe the balance of recent broken pivot highs and pivot lows.
A rising oscillator indicates that bullish structure breaks are having greater recent influence.
A falling oscillator indicates that bearish structure breaks are having greater recent influence.
The oscillator can remain elevated or depressed during extended directional conditions.
5. Read the overbought area
When the Structure RSI moves above the Overbought Level, bullish structure-break pressure has pushed the oscillator into its upper region.
The bearish signal does not occur merely because the oscillator is above the level.
The bearish signal occurs only when the oscillator later crosses downward through the Overbought Level on a confirmed bar.
6. Read the oversold area
When the Structure RSI moves below the Oversold Level, bearish structure-break pressure has pushed the oscillator into its lower region.
The bullish signal does not occur merely because the oscillator is below the level.
The bullish signal occurs only when the oscillator later crosses upward through the Oversold Level on a confirmed bar.
7. Wait for the candle to close
Signals are confirmed at bar close.
Do not treat a temporary intrabar threshold crossing as a finalized signal.
Wait for the marker to remain after the chart candle closes.
8. Use the moving average
Enable the moving average to observe a smoother version of the Structure RSI.
Available types are:
- EMA
- SMA
- WMA
A shorter moving-average length reacts more quickly.
A longer moving-average length responds more slowly.
The moving average can provide visual context, but it is not part of the threshold-crossing signal condition.
9. Configure the target and stop distances
Set Target Distance (%) and Stop Distance (%) according to the historical measurement you want to study.
For example:
- Target: 1.0%
- Stop: 1.0%
This creates an equal-distance historical measurement.
Another example:
- Target: 2.0%
- Stop: 1.0%
This creates a larger target than stop.
These settings are research parameters and are not recommended trading settings.
10. Read the Bull panel
The Bull panel measures completed bullish signals.
- W means the bullish target was reached first
- L means the bullish stop was reached first
- the percentage shows bullish wins divided by completed bullish outcomes
Only signals that begin while no other measurement is active are included.
11. Read the Bear panel
The Bear panel measures completed bearish signals.
- W means the bearish target was reached first
- L means the bearish stop was reached first
- the percentage shows bearish wins divided by completed bearish outcomes
Only signals that begin while no other measurement is active are included.
12. Understand same-bar outcomes
When both the target and stop are touched during the same candle, the result is counted as a loss.
This is a conservative assumption because the chart's OHLC data cannot show which level was reached first.
13. Understand skipped measurements
A signal can appear while another historical measurement is still unresolved.
That signal can still:
- display a marker
- trigger an alert
However, it does not begin another historical measurement.
This is why the total W/L count may be lower than the total number of visible signals.
14. Position the panels
Choose separate positions for the Bull and Bear panels.
The default positions are:
- Bull panel: top left
- Bear panel: top right
Use the row and column offsets when small position adjustments are needed.
Avoid assigning both panels to the same final position unless overlapping panels are intended.
15. Select the colour preset
Use Dark Background on dark chart themes.
Use Light Background on light chart themes.
The preset changes moving-average and panel text colours.
It does not change the indicator calculations.
16. Create alerts
Create separate TradingView alerts for:
- Bullish Signal
- Bearish Signal
Use Once Per Bar Close.
Test alerts on the intended symbol and timeframe before using them operationally.
17. Review broader market context
Use Price Structure RSI together with additional analysis such as:
- trend direction
- price structure
- support and resistance
- volume
- volatility
- liquidity
- market sessions
- recent swing highs and lows
- scheduled economic or company events
- risk management
A threshold crossing alone does not guarantee a reversal or continuation.
Suggested starting process
- Apply the indicator to a standard candlestick chart
- Keep RSI Length at 20
- Keep the levels at 80 and 20
- Begin with High/Low structure breaks
- Keep the EMA smoothing line enabled
- Use a target and stop distance of 1.0%
- Wait for confirmed bar-close signals
- Compare the oscillator with visible price structure
- Review the Bull and Bear panels separately
- Remember that only one active measurement is tracked
- Test several symbols and timeframes before drawing conclusions
- Use Once Per Bar Close for alerts
Limitations
- The indicator is derived from the open-source Market Structure RSI by ClayeWeight
- The central structure-break accumulation methodology is adapted from the original work
- Pivot identification is based on a simple three-candle relationship
- Pivots are identified only after the required later candle has closed
- The oscillator measures broken stored structure levels rather than normal price momentum
- The Structure RSI can behave differently from a standard price RSI
- The indicator does not determine whether a structure break is genuine or false
- The indicator does not measure volume, volatility, liquidity, or trend strength
- Signals are confirmed at bar close and may occur later than temporary intrabar conditions
- A bullish signal does not guarantee that price will rise
- A bearish signal does not guarantee that price will fall
- Only one unresolved historical measurement is tracked at a time
- Not every visible signal is represented in the W/L panels
- Opposite signals do not close active measurements
- Target and stop evaluation begins on the bar after the signal
- Same-bar target and stop contact is recorded as a loss
- The W/L panels are simplified historical measurements
- The displayed percentages are not complete backtest results
- Commissions, spread, slippage, liquidity, position sizing, and execution are not included
- Historical outcomes do not imply future results
- The indicator should not be used as the sole basis for a trading decision
Price Structure RSI is an analytical and research tool.
It does not provide financial advice, guaranteed signals, guaranteed win rates, or guaranteed results.
