Stochastic RSI+ by MartialChartsFX

The original Stochastic RSI was built to generate more signals than either of the ordinary RSI or Stochastic Oscillator.
This Stochastic RSI+ is a customized Stochastic RSI meant to be less obtrusive as a lower indicator with several added components for improved utility.

The Stochastic RSI+ has 3 components:
1. The Single line color changing Stochastic RSI (%K line)
2. Divergence detection using one of three oscillators (RSI, Stochastic, or the default Stochastic RSI). Divergence may be detected in Strict or Non-Strict modes.
3. Strength indicator

Single Line Stochastic RSI (%K)
To make manual detection of divergence easier, I decided to reduce the Stochastic RSI down to just the %K line. In order to see how the %K line interacts with the %D line without having the extra line as a distraction, the %K line has been coded to change colors based on its relation to the %D line.

The Stochastic %K is green when %K is greater than %D
The Stochastic %K is red when %K is less than %D

The oversold region is 0-20 and highlighted in a light green on the scale.
The overbought region is 80-100 and highlighted in light red on the scale.

Divergence Detection
The optional divergence detection settings include the selection of 3 oscillators: RSI, Stochastic, or Stochastic RSI (default). Regardless of which oscillator is selected for divergence detection the indicator will only show the Stochastic RSI's %K line. This gives the trader the change to see if divergence is present on multiple oscillators. The divergence detection does not draw trendlines on the chart or the lower indicator, instead it plots an H (for Hidden Divergence) or a D (for Divergence) in green (bullish) or red (bearish) where the 2nd point of divergence is located based on the oscillator used and whether the detection is set to strict or not. This programming will not capture every instance of divergence. You should still manually verify any divergence indicated.

Strict Divergence enabled is the traditional method of divergence detection where swing points on the price charts align with peaks and valleys on the oscillator. Where there are not matching peaks and valleys on both price and the oscillator, divergence is not detected.
Strict Divergence disabled is an alternate divergence detection by connecting swing points on the price chart and then checking to see what the corresponding oscillator values are regardless of if it is a peak or valley on the oscillator. To draw this method manually would be drawing the oscillator trendline through the %K line to connect which ever points on Stochastic RSI line up with the swing points on the price chart. This will find more divergence than would ordinarily be overlooked.

Asset Strength
The Strength indicator is the 2nd set of numbers on the indicator information line. Values above 0 are bullish, Values below 0 are bearish. Strength is measured by comparing fast and slow RSI calculations to gauge a rate of change towards bullish or bearish.

Strength color changes:
Dark green to light green = asset is bullish but getting weaker
Light green to dark green = asset is bullish and getting stronger
Red to pink = asset is bearish but getting stronger
Pink to Red = asset is bearish and getting weaker

Usage
Can be used in all asset classes. This is a Stochastic RSI oscillator so the same Stochastic RSI usage rules apply.

The ways that I use Stochastic RSI+:
1. To gauge if a zone is likely to hold or be broken.
- Buying zones have better confluence when Stochastic RSI+ is very oversold (0-5) and have bullish divergence.
- Selling zone have better confluence when Stochastic RSI+ is very overbought (95-100) and have bearish divergence.
2. For divergence to time entries and to identify continuations, retracements, reversals, and stop hunts.
3. For strength to see if the asset is getting stronger or weaker when price reaches a zone.
