Overview

A regular RSI uses the selected source and length, while the future-smoothed option uses a projected Heikin Ashi open. Bias turns long above the top level and short below the bottom level, then stays until the reverse cross. It plots the RSI, bias line, and fills in a separate pane, can color price bars, and alerts when bias switches. The future-smoothed mode can change on the live bar.
