Beginner Guide to the RSI Indicator

The Relative Strength Index is arguably the most popular technical indicator when it comes to trading. But being popular doesn’t always make you right or easy. David Jones knows this and is here to give a helping hand to those just starting their journey in the world of the markets, as well as those who’ve had a bit more experience.
He goes over the way it’s calculated, its parameters and default settings and goes on to show it in real examples. There you can see it at peak performance but more importantly - when a bit more attention or caution is necessary to use it properly.

I use my age-old Murphy's Law Trade formula: Whenever I buy a stock, it always goes down. When I sell it, it always goes up. It never fails.

[@kobepower]

that means ur timing is off. so look at what time u buy and take 30 mins to wait i been there

[@szbmedia]

Brilliant 🤣

[@76biggdogg]

Just do the opposite of your initial plan .... Easy peasy, lol .... Jk of course

[@76biggdogg]

You are most likely trading against the bigger trend.

[@NxGDE50MErK]

Whelp, when you take a trade get a loved one to do the opposite, I'm sure they'll thank you when they're rich 🤑

[@MrPangulo007]

"you have to be patient,(which is a problem for all of us)" true that.

[@tunim4354]

😁👍🏼

[@cheesy888au]

Thank you. You’re one of the few you tubers who can explain things simply and you have helped me immensely.

[@GianniGirolamiJiening]

really like David's introduction of the "divergence" part and the use of several lows as reference for a stop-loss. very valuable!

[@prokter8bp669]

5 years after this video is posted and still so relevant. im new to trading and ive learnt so much from your videos. David your a top teacher. Thanks

[@Rios101]

Facts!!! Also relatively new to trading. And it isn't easy as it seems

[@integer22]

This series is so good, by far the best I've found on KZbin. Great work David, you're a brilliant presenter and educator and it is very much appreciated. The quality of these videos far exceeds what I'd expect for a free KZbin series, thank you!

[@kenbridgeman8590]

So nice to have somebody TALK to us instead of yelling at us. Really like your communication style. Thanks!

[@BruceWangOfficial]

I’ve prob made the most profits from RSI. Thanks for the tip about bullish/bearish divergence. Will look out for that!

[@brendangolledge8312]

Really? What asset and what strategy? I looked at the history of rsi vs price movements on bitcoin and found that it was essentially correct on the scale of weeks, but as good at flipping a coin in the scale of years. I was thinking from this that it shouldn't be used for anything apart from judging the timing on markets that you already want to enter/exit.

[@mr.everything183]

Had no idea about this divergence thing, but I went and looked at some old investments, and wow. It’s so clear now.

[@joeybaez1745]

LOVE THE WAY YOU EXPLAIN THINGS, VERY UNDERSTANDING. THANK YOU SO MUCH DAVID

[@darinwade7768]

Excellent overview I learned fast on this one..RSI are great for determining how long a sell trend will last, thanks you for teaching RSI in a less complicated view, thank you the background charts are visible and always say what studies and indicators your using big thank you..

[@nerdkeyboard]

Thank you, Sir. You have done a wonderful job in explaining the RSI. This has truly helped me.

[@abhishelke123]

Man let me thank you as setting of 10 periods for RSI has made all the difference for me.

[@alexs555]

Still watching and learning in 2021. Thank you for your hard work putting the videos online!

[@nflbestfootballclipsever9138]

I'm glad I found your station on KZbin. You have quite the calm demeanor when you teach. What a great guide to the RSI

[@crazyyutober1150]

You are the best. I try the MACD and RSI with my DEMO account, and you are 100% right!

[@climberly]

Awesome video! It really helps. Keep up the good work!

[@hareshadvani3543]

Thank you. You have explained things in a very simple and concise way. I have seen so many videos of other channels, I do not understand. find the concepts complicated, leave it half way...You have explained it so well, I cannot believe it could be explained in such a simple, to the point manner. Thank you again. Keep up the good work.

[@fitnesslibrarian9013]

My god. I’ve just been obsessed with trading lately. These videos are the best I have found. You are a gem. Thank you for getting me even more balls deep into this subject.

[@TheHannible]

Did you start trading P? If so how are you doing I am still reading reading reading!

[@ch3ckm8]

Learning RSI is definitely essential for trading. Probably the easiest and most reliable indicator in existence.

[@Remembering-rq6si]

@Casual The RSI is practically worthless as are other "technical indicators." Go ahead and use it to compete with supercomputer algorithms. Idiots day trade. It's Darwinian.

[@markassbrownlee2739]

Remembering 1992 what about swing trading?

[@stevenmccarthy794]

Thank you, you explained it so simply and so clearly. Very helpful. This is the first of your videos I have seen but I will be looking at some more. Thank you.

[@MrMichaelBPedersen]

This is some great advice, loving the in depth explanation and tips, rather then just talking simple signals.

[@Andrew-yl7lm]

Good video as always, been using 212 for almost a year and I've had success following advice and tips from these. Really good job guys, thanks.

[@labjujube]

very helpful! I just found that WMT had a bullish divergence at 02/05/18 and 02/09/18... Might have made a profit if have seen this video earlier!

[@onsitelr3692]

[@electronicmau538]

This was great! Thanks for explaining it in such a simple way!

[@alireza4734]

Your explanation is fantastic. You teach everything in a very good clear way but I highly recommend you to try to use Word or something like that for writing formulas and notes. Thanks a lot David.

[@TopJoo7]

Today, I understood what a bearish divergence is, thank you kind sir.

[@July-A7]

There's no such thing as divergence that shows direction afterwards. It may go up just as well as down. Don't rely on divergences.

[@LifeSuxAss637]

thats any indicator or signal lol

[@jaeprince6080]

lmao

[@moons4768]

Lol. RSI divergence is everything.

[@tr4gik11]

@@July-A7 Its just an indicator Son like all indicators it does not predict 100% move on market , nothing does.

[@jamesodom4980]
