CAP - cRSI cyclic smoothed [MTF]

Introduction This indicator is a Multi-Timeframe (MTF) adaptation of the Cyclic Smoothed RSI (cRSI), based on the foundational work of Lars von Thienen and his book "Decoding The Hidden Market Rhythm". It allows traders to visualize cyclic momentum and identify potential turning points by adapting standard RSI calculations to a dominant market cycle.
How It Works Unlike a standard RSI which uses fixed periods, the cRSI uses "cyclic memory" to adjust its sensitivity:
Cyclic Smoothing: It smooths the RSI based on a user-defined Dominant Cycle Length (default: 20 bars).
Dynamic Bands: Instead of static overbought/oversold levels (like 70/30), this script calculates dynamic upper and lower bands that adapt to recent volatility and cyclic distribution.
MTF Capability: You can view the cRSI of a higher timeframe (e.g., Daily) while looking at a lower timeframe chart (e.g., H1) to align your entries with the broader trend.
My Trading Strategy & Context I am sharing this to start a conversation on how to optimize cyclic tools for Equity markets. My current workflow is:
- Timeframe: I analyze Daily candles for the main trend but look for entries on Intraday (H1).
- Confluence: I combine this cRSI with the CSP - CSI (Cyclic Swing Indicator).
- Momentum & Trend: I use Williams %R to read immediate momentum, and check trend direction using EMA9 and SMA30.
- Entries: On the H1 chart, I look for VWAP interactions to trigger the entry once the Daily cRSI confirms the cycle low/high.
Let's Collaborate I am looking for constructive feedback to refine this strategy. Please leave a comment below regarding:
- Settings: Have you found a Dominant Cycle Length other than 20 that works better for Crypto or FX volatility?
- Filtering: What filters do you use to avoid "catching a falling knife" when the bands widen significantly?
- Backtesting: If you have visual backtest results using this with VWAP, please share your findings.
Note: This script is for educational purposes and collaborative research. Please backtest all strategies before live trading.
