The closes
The true strength index
The TSI is +46.6, above zero: the smoothed moves are mostly up.
- Stretched?
- Above +25, a reading many traders treat as stretched up.
- The signal line
- It is above its signal line (+40.9), which was +39.0 on the bar before; the TSI was +44.7.
- The crosses
- The TSI last crossed above its signal line 33 bars ago. It last crossed above zero 20 bars ago.
- Read it with care
- Two averages make it smooth but late: a cross confirms a turn that has already started. In a strong trend the TSI can stay stretched for a long time.
The TSI (25, 13) and its 7-bar signal line on the last bars. The last bar is marked.

Momentum, smoothed twice
William Blau's true strength index takes each bar's change in price, smooths it with a 25-bar and then a 13-bar exponential average, and divides by the same smoothing of the size of the changes. The result runs from -100 to +100: above zero the moves lean up, below zero they lean down. A signal line, usually 7 bars, gives the crosses, and many traders treat readings beyond 25 either way as stretched.
Compare it with the RSI calculator, the MACD calculator and the percentage price oscillator.
