Description

Relative Spread Strength indicator, from Ian Copsey's article in the October 2006 issue of Stocks & Commodities magazine. RSS measures the relative strength index (RSI) of the spread between two SMA indicators.

Interpretation

Mr. Copsey explains: "Readings above 70 or below 30 merely identify the potential for price to reverse and should not be taken as a trade signal. When an extreme is made, you should study the lower time frame to look for a trade signal. The trade signal could be a break in the trendline or confirmation of a reversal pattern."
