The Relative Strength Index

A Step-by-Step Guide to This Famous Indicator and Its Strategies in Python.

The Relative Strength Index is one of the most common indicators in Technical Analysis. It allows us to have a quick glance as to whether the market is overbought or oversold.

As controversial as this indicator is, its utility is well known and many strategies can be formed around. A good number of such strategies are stable and profitable ones. In this article, we will build the indicator from scratch and discuss some of its simple strategies.

I have released a new book after the success of my previous one “Trend Following Strategies in Python”. It features a lot of advanced contrarian indicators and strategies with a GitHub page dedicated to the continuously updated code.
