RSI extremes left on price as zones: supply tagged RSI 92 above, demand tagged RSI 27 and RSI 7 below, and the header reading ZONES HELD 341 BROKE 368 and RSI 48 • COMPRESSION.

Why you need it

An RSI reading tells you overbought or oversold and treats every bar the same, whether ten contracts traded or ten thousand. DS ProRSI weighs each bar's move by its volume against what is normal for that minute of the day, and when the RSI turns back from an extreme it leaves the turn on your price chart as a zone — as deep as the range where the turn's nearest volume traded, graded in three steps by the volume behind it, and reinforced when a later turn lands on it again. The panel keeps the chart's own count of zones that HELD and zones that BROKE, so you read what these zones have done on your market instead of taking a strength rating on trust.

What a zone tells you

Each bar's move is weighted by its volume against what is normal for that minute of the day. When the RSI turns back from an extreme, the turn is left on your price chart as a zone: its far edge at the turn's extreme, its near edge where the nearest volume of the turn traded.

  1. 01STRATA — five hairlines inside the zone, one at each sixth of its volume
  2. 02PIPS — one, two or three lit on the flag, by the volume behind the turn against normal
  3. 03REINFORCED — a later turn on the same ground strengthens the zone instead of stacking another
  4. 04RECORD — zones HELD and zones BROKE, counted on the chart in front of you

What it needs, where it runs, and what it is not.

Reads price and volume. Zone depth is bounded by ATR and volume is measured against the chart's own normal, so both scale to whatever market the chart is on. Where a market reports no volume it runs as a classic RSI.

What it reads

Price and volume (closed bars). No tick data.

Good to know

Underneath, the RSI panel: the weighted line over a faint classic RSI, a heat ribbon, a volume strip, the distance to the nearest zones and the price at which the RSI would cross its signal.

A zone describes where momentum turned and where the volume traded. It is a map and a record, not a forecast.

Closed-bar decisions throughout — it does not repaint.

Test it on your own charts first.

Four screenshots and a paragraph are not enough to judge an indicator on. Watch it work in your own instrument, on your own timeframe, before it goes anywhere near a live account. Both ways of doing that are free.

3-day free trial

DS ProRSI itself is free for three days — time to replay sessions you remember and trade it forward on the simulator before you pay anything. Replay runs a past session at any speed, so the three days hold far more than three sessions.

  1. 01

    Replay a session you have already seen

    Market Replay runs a past session back tick by tick, at whatever speed you like. You get to watch DS ProRSI print in conditions you remember, and pause on the bars where it mattered.

  2. 02

    Then trade it forward, on the simulator

    Replay shows you the past with the ending already known. The simulator does not — it runs live, in real time, on real prices, with nothing at stake. That is where you find out whether you can actually act on what you are seeing.

A simulated fill is not a live fill. Replay and the simulator cannot reproduce real queue position, slippage, or what it feels like to hold a position with money on it, and results from either may differ materially from live trading. Test to learn how a tool behaves — not to estimate what it might return.

DS ProRSI, moment by moment

The conditions DS ProRSI is built for, drawn by its shipped rules. Scroll and scale it like a chart, replay it bar by bar, jump between its moments, or switch the chart to light.

DS Replay examples are illustrative: each scenario is composed for the example from recorded one-minute futures candles, to show the conditions a tool is built for, and is not a recording of a trading session. The tool drawing on it runs its shipped rules unchanged. They show how the software reads price; they are not a performance record, no trade is taken or shown, and live markets often behave differently. Futures trading carries substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor, and hypothetical or simulated results have inherent limitations that may differ materially from live trading.
