Supported RSI Calculation Methods

The calculator can calculate RSI using any of the three popular methods.

The methods differ in the exact formula for average up and down moves (the second step in RSI calculation).

The three methods are:

• Simple moving average
• Exponential moving average: a = 2/(n+1)
• Wilder's smoothing method: a = 1/n

The calculation methods are explained in chapter 4 of the user guide.

RSI Period Length

You can set any period length on any of the calculation methods.

Note: The original RSI as introduced by J. Welles Wilder Jr. is Wilder's method with period length equal to 14.
