    History and Background

    Larry Connors developed the Connors RSI as an improvement on the traditional Relative Strength Index (RSI). While the classic RSI focuses solely on recent price gains and losses, Connors' version goes further by layering in two additional factors: the length of consecutive up or down closes (known as the streak), and the short-term rate-of-change rank.

    This enhanced version for cTrader adds complete transparency by displaying each internal component, Price RSI, Streak RSI, and ROC Rank, giving traders more control and visibility into what's driving signals.

    How the Indicator Works

    The Connors RSI is calculated by averaging three values:

    1. Price RSI – a short-period RSI of closing prices.
    2. Streak RSI – RSI of consecutive up or down streaks in price.
    3. ROC Percent Rank – the percentage rank of rate-of-change over a user-defined period.

    Each component captures a different aspect of momentum. The final Connors RSI value is the average of the three, offering a richer, more nuanced view than a basic RSI. This advanced version outputs all three components individually as well as the final composite, making it easier for traders to fine-tune strategies.

    How to Use it for Trading

    The Connors RSI is handy for short-term reversal trading, and when the value drops below 20, it may signal oversold conditions, indicating a potential buy opportunity. When it rises above 80, the market might be overbought, which may be a time to sell or avoid new long entries.

    By observing the individual components, traders can see why the indicator is reacting the way it is, e.g., is the pressure from price streaks, momentum shifts, or volatility?

    This is ideal for traders using scalping or short-term swing strategies.

     

    Conner RSI Formula

    Connors RSI = (RSI of Closing Price + RSI of Price Streak + Percent Rank of ROC) / 3

     

    The Connors RSI is a great tool for spotting short-term reversals, but it can give misleading signals in strong trends. Since it’s built for mean reversion, it works best in sideways or range-bound markets. To improve reliability, it’s often combined with trend filters or key support and resistance zones. Like any oscillator, it should be used alongside other tools, not as a standalone system.
