Barbara Stars article in Stocks & Commodities February issue, The 350 Swing Trade, outlines several trading systems based on J. Welles Wilders relative strength index (Rsi).

The swing 350 system is based on the three-bar Rsi. Star suggests combining the smoothed Rsi with any of the following: a trend-establishing moving average; Wilders average directional movement indicator (Adx); or Bollinger bands. Strategy code for some of these combination’s also presented here.

The chart below demonstrates three display modes for Barbara Stars 350 swing indicator: a color-coded candlestick chart of (PODD) with a 20-day Donchian channel (upper pane); a three-day moving average of a three-day RSI (middle pane); and a color-coded three-day RSI (bottom pane).
