Overview

The indicator measures trend strength and direction by normalizing smoothed price variations, plotting the TSI and signal lines in a separate pane below the chart. Customizable input settings include the source price series, long length, short length, and signal line length. Momentum shifts can be evaluated using TSI zero-line crossovers and signal line crosses.
