Overview
Use RSI to find instruments at momentum extremes — exhaustion points, pullback entries within trends, and mean-reversion candidates.
The Relative Strength screener uses the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to identify instruments exhibiting extreme momentum conditions: either potentially overbought or oversold relative to recent price history.
Unlike trend-following screeners that focus on direction, this screener focuses on intensity: how far price has moved relative to its own recent range. This makes it useful for finding exhaustion points, pullback entries within trends, and mean-reversion opportunities.
