I'm trying to validate the equation for RSI(2), but it looks like i'm getting more RSI=0 than SF is actually presenting...
In other words, whenever 2 consecutive days are up, my average loss (RS denominator) is 0...looking at the RSI formula below:
100-(100/(1+RS))
RS = Avg Gain/Avg Loss
Am I forgetting something? Isn't it correct to assume that 2 days up in a row automatically represent an Avg Loss = 0, therefore, RS =0, bringing the RSI formula to:
100-100 = 0...
Any help is more than appreciated...
Thanks...

jamboree. . .

If your average loss is zero, then RS becomes undefinably large as does
(1 + RS). . .[100/(1 + RS)] approaches zero and RSI approaches 100.

The RSI(2) < 1 approach is a bottom-fishing reversal system and wallman's original work required three down days with one of those at high (capitulation)volume to trigger.

Check it out in the archives "bollinger bands".

A senior moment here!!

I'm fully aware that Holy Grail is the originator of the RSI(2) < 1 technique and I must be going round the corner (as my wife has charged for some time)!
