Morning Pat, <I do not look at RS on the currencies, does that work for you? > I've been using the 5 period RSI and looking for divergences in the highs and lows of the movements against whatever chart bars I'm watching. To early to tell if it will be useful on the currencies and bonds. It anticipates. Look at the 15min chart US0Z and at the span over the 23rd. The RSI has bottoms below 50 and while the chart bars are climbing higher. This usually anticipates a move. Again look at the double top at the close of 23rd and the drop in the RSI. It foresees a drop. I'm still long the us0z from 93'03...no signal to get out...! <CD0z daily chart has a divergence in the 5 period RSI, that looks to resolve lower. This strength today might resolve at .6650 > The CD0z daily has a divergence with the RSI-5 over Oct 2-16th anticipating a rise to the congestion around .6650 at which point I was looking for a decline. It came pretty close to what I thought...! Today's another question if a short from there would work.
