The RSI Filter Indicator for MT4 enhances the classic Relative Strength Index (RSI) by adding a moving average filter to improve signal accuracy. Traditional RSI signals are known for generating early reversal entries, which often result in false starts. By applying a moving average to the RSI line, this indicator filters out weak signals and delivers higher-quality bullish and bearish trade setups.
It is suitable for all timeframes — from intraday Scalping charts to daily, weekly, and monthly trading strategies.
How the RSI Filter Indicator Works
The indicator appears in a separate MT4 window and displays:
- Blue Line – RSI (Relative Strength Index)
- Red Line – Moving Average applied to RSI
Instead of relying on standard overbought and oversold levels alone, this system generates signals based on RSI and Moving Average crossovers.
Trading Strategy
Bullish Signal (Buy Setup)
- RSI crosses above the Moving Average.
- The crossover indicates strengthening bullish momentum.
- Enter a Buy trade.
- Place stop loss below the previous swing low.
- Exit at the opposite crossover or use a favorable risk-reward ratio.
Bearish Signal (Sell Setup)
- RSI crosses below the Moving Average.
- The crossover signals growing bearish momentum.
- Enter a Sell trade.
- Place stop loss above the previous swing high.
- Exit at the opposite crossover or based on risk management rules.
This crossover method reduces premature reversal entries that standard RSI strategies often produce.
