Relative momentum

What does Relative momentum measure?

RSI measured over a multi-candle move instead of a single one. It is steadier than RSI and stays trending for longer.

How is Relative momentum calculated?

Compare today's close with the close 5 candles ago instead of yesterday's. Split those changes into gains and losses, smooth both over 14 candles with a running average, and put the gains on a 0-100 scale against the total.

Written by reading the engine’s real computation, not a textbook — where the two differ, the page describes what actually runs.

How do I use Relative momentum in a bot?

In the builder, add an indicator of type rmi (parameters: length, default 14; momentum, default 5). Its value becomes an operand you can compare in any entry or exit rule. The engine grades the whole rule honestly: real fills, no look-ahead, half the history held back.
