How to use RSI indicator on Deriv Trading View

Intro If you’re navigating multiple markets—forex, stocks, crypto, indices, options, commodities—you want a simple, reliable compass. The RSI indicator on Deriv’s Trading View charts gives you a momentum read that’s easy to act on, without drowning in data. It helps you spot overextended moves, confirm trends, and catch divergences before a turn. Pairing RSI with price action and sensible risk control turns Deriv into a versatile testing ground for your prop-trading ideas.

RSI at a glance

• RSI (Relative Strength Index) measures speed and change of price moves. Readings above 70 (or 80 in crypto) signal potential overbought conditions; readings below 30 (or 20) signal potential oversold conditions.
• It’s most useful when you let it confirm what price action is already hinting at—trends, pullbacks, divergences—rather than acting on RSI alone.
• On Deriv’s Trading View charts, you can overlay RSI directly on the price chart, customize the look, and set alerts so you don’t miss key levels.

Setting RSI on Deriv Trading View

• Open the Deriv trading chart and switch to Trading View if you haven’t already.
• Open Indicators and search for RSI, then apply it to your chart.
• Adjust the length to a standard 14, or tailor it to your strategy. Levels commonly used are 70/30; crypto traders sometimes use 80/20 to reflect higher volatility.
• Tidy up with a light color for the RSI line and enable level lines at 70 and 30. Save this as a template so you can reuse it across assets.
• Consider alerts: set a reminder when RSI crosses 70 down or 30 up, or when it moves above/below critical thresholds in conjunction with price action.

Interpreting RSI signals

• Overbought/oversold: RSI touching high teens to low 20s can hint at a potential bounce in a downtrend; RSI around 70+ can precede a pullback in an uptrend. Use these as reminders, not guarantees.
• Trend confirmation: RSI that stays above 50 during an up move supports a bullish bias; RSI staying below 50 in a down move supports a bearish bias.
• Divergences: If price makes a new high but RSI fails to push higher, that can signal waning momentum and a possible reversal. Conversely, price makes a new low while RSI prints higher lows could warn of a potential rally.
• Crossovers and pullbacks: A move from oversold toward 50–60 with a concurrent price bounce can be a signal to re-enter long on a pullback; in a downtrend, the opposite can apply for short entries.

Real-world usage across assets

• Forex and indices: Tend to respect RSI trends with patience on timeframes like 4H and daily. RSI pullbacks around mid-range often precede continuation rather than immediate reversals.
• Stocks and commodities: RSI can help with pullback entries after a clean breakout or during consolidation. Watch for divergence near support/resistance bands.
• Crypto and options: Higher volatility means RSI can swing quickly; consider tighter stop losses and confirm signals with price patterns or order-flow cues.
• Multi-asset discipline: Use a consistent RSI setup across assets, but adapt your thresholds to the asset’s typical volatility (e.g., 80/20 for crypto, 70/30 for stocks).

Reliability and risk management

• RSI works best when not used in isolation. Combine with price action, trend direction, and, if possible, another indicator like a moving average for context.
• Timeframe matters: a bullish RSI signal on a 1D chart is stronger when supported by the 4H and price action on the same trend.
• Risk controls: cap exposure per trade, define maximum drawdown, and use stop losses. Don’t chase every RSI signal—quality over quantity matters in prop-trading setups.

DeFi, future trends, and the prop-trading horizon

• The rise of decentralized finance (DeFi) brings on-chain liquidity and new risk factors. RSI-based methods on centralized platforms like Deriv can be complemented by on-chain data analytics, but you still face different liquidity and security dynamics.
• Smart contracts and AI-driven trading are reshaping how signals are generated and executed. Expect more integrated tools: AI-assisted RSI anomaly detection, smarter alerting, and cross-chain analytics that help prop traders optimize multi-asset exposure.
• For prop traders, RSI remains a practical, low-friction edge—especially when you couple it with robust risk rules and a disciplined workflow. The broader market moves toward automation and smarter data will only amplify its usefulness, provided you stay mindful of model risk and market structure shifts.
