This page is here to help you change settings on purpose.

Axiom RSI Osc Lite has enough room to build a personal workflow, which is useful. It also means the pane can drift away from your understanding if you change three things at once and then trust the result because it looks smoother. The goal of this page is to keep that from happening.

Start from a legal, same-symbol baseline first. Then change one setting family at a time.

If you are adjusting the stack under pressure, touch these in order:

TimeFrame:
Enable RSI NN
Blended Weight:
On Bar Close?

The first settings to leave alone

If the script is new to you, keep these at their defaults until the baseline makes sense:

Optional Ticker: on all slots
Enable Master Smoothing
ALMA Floor Offset?
ALMA Offset:
ALMA Sigma:

Those controls are not bad. They are simply poor starting points when you are still learning what each slot contributes.

Slot participation and visibility

These controls answer three different questions. Keep them separate in your mind.

Label	What it changes	When to use it	What to watch
Enable RSI 01, Enable RSI 02, Enable RSI 03	Turns a slot on or off completely	Disable a slot when it does not belong in the workflow	Disabled slots do not calculate, plot, alert, or count toward alignment
Hide RSI 01 Plot, Hide RSI 02 Plot, Hide RSI 03 Plot	Hides the line only	Hide a slot when you still want its logic but do not want its line on screen	Hidden is not disabled
Blended Weight:	Changes how much the slot shapes the blended RSI and Signal	Reduce or increase one slot's influence after you understand the slot by itself	Weight 0 removes blend influence only. It does not remove slot logic or alignment participation

If you cannot answer whether a slot is enabled, visible, and weighted, stop there before tuning anything else.

Slot context settings

These controls decide what each slot is actually reading.

Label	Default	What it does	Safe first use
Source:	close	Chooses the price series used as the RSI input	Keep close until you have a reason to test another source
TimeFrame:	5, 15, 60	Chooses the requested timeframe for that slot	Keep the default ladder on 1m or 5m, or raise the ladder to match the chart
Optional Ticker:	blank	Lets one slot read another symbol instead of the chart symbol	Leave blank at first, then test one diagnostic slot later

The hard rule here is simple: every enabled slot timeframe must stay at or above the chart timeframe. If it does not, the script throws a runtime error.

If you are unsure whether a context change helped, return every slot to the chart symbol and rebuild from there. That reset is usually faster than guessing which layer caused the drift.

RSI construction settings

These controls shape how each slot responds before it is centered and plotted.

Label	Default	What it changes	When to change it	Main risk
RSI Length:	14	How far back raw RSI looks	Change when you want a faster or slower base read	Smaller values can feel exciting before they are useful
RSI Smoothing:	3	How much the slot RSI line is calmed after raw RSI is built	Change after you understand the unsmoothed feel of the slot	More smoothing can look safer than it is
RSI Type:	SMA	The MA family used to smooth raw RSI	Change when you want a different response profile, not because one family is "better"	Different MA families can change the story faster than you notice
Signal Length:	3	How much the internal Signal line is calmed	Change when the regime relationship feels too jumpy or too slow	Signal state is RSI-versus-Signal, not RSI-versus-threshold
Signal Type:	SMA	The MA family used for the internal Signal line	Change after you understand what the slot RSI line is already doing	Mixing MA families too early can hide cause and effect

The visible slot line is the slot RSI line. The Signal line is still important, but it stays internal and drives color and regime state.

If you are learning the indicator, change either the RSI line or the Signal line first, not both together. That makes it much easier to tell whether you changed the slot's personality or only the regime relationship inside the slot.

Display and threshold settings

These controls change how the pane reads at a glance.

Label	Default	What it changes	What not to assume
Overbought Level	70	Moves the upper stretch line and the related blended alert	This is a stretch marker on this tool's centered scale, not raw RSI 70 in disguise
Oversold Level	-70	Moves the lower stretch line and the related blended alert	This is a stretch marker on this tool's centered scale, not raw RSI 30 mirrored downward
Plot Blended RSI/Signal	on	Shows or hides the blended pair visually	Hiding the pair does not turn off blended logic or blended alerts
Line Width:	2	Changes slot line thickness	Thicker lines are easier to see, not more trustworthy
Blended Line Width:	3	Changes blended line thickness	Visual emphasis can make a summary feel more authoritative than it is

Threshold changes should come after baseline verification, not before it.

If a threshold move makes the pane feel smarter right away, slow down there. The line probably only became more dramatic or more permissive. It did not become more truthful by itself.

Blending and post-blend smoothing

The blend exists to summarize participating slots. It does not outrank them.

Label	Default	What it does	Sensible use
Blended Weight:	33.3 per slot	Decides how strongly each enabled slot shapes the blend	Use to tilt the summary after you understand the slot ladder
Enable Master Smoothing	off	Adds one more smoothing pass to the blended RSI and Signal	Use only after the raw blend already makes sense
Master MA Type	EMA	Chooses the MA family for that extra smoothing pass	Treat as a response-shape choice, not a quality upgrade
Master Length	3	Sets the strength of the extra smoothing pass	Increase carefully and verify what becomes later as a result

If every enabled slot weight is 0, the blended summary becomes unavailable. Treat that as an empty summary, not as neutral market information.

Before you keep any weight change, make sure you can answer two questions:

Which slot did I just give more influence?
What disagreement can the blend now hide more easily than before?

Timing and ALMA globals

These controls live in one place because they affect the whole stack or every ALMA-based path in the stack.

Label	Default	What it changes	Important boundary
On Bar Close?	on	Switches the whole indicator between confirmed and still-forming requested-timeframe behavior	This is global, not per slot
ALMA Floor Offset?	off	Changes how ALMA offset is treated when ALMA is selected	Has no effect unless ALMA is actually in use
ALMA Offset:	0.85	Adjusts ALMA behavior when ALMA is selected	Has no effect outside ALMA paths
ALMA Sigma:	6.0	Adjusts ALMA behavior when ALMA is selected	Has no effect outside ALMA paths

Do not read the ALMA controls as universal "quality" knobs. They only matter when you have chosen ALMA as the MA family for a slot or for master smoothing.

MA families in this lite build

The lite MA library exposed in this script includes:

SMA
EMA
RMA
WMA
VWMA
HMA
ALMA
SWMA

It is better to think of these as different response shapes than as a ladder from weak to strong. Pick one because it fits the job, not because it sounds advanced.

A safe change sequence

If you want the shortest honest tuning routine, use this order:

make the slot ladder legal on the chart
confirm the timing posture with On Bar Close?
learn one slot at a time with the chart symbol
change one smoothing input at a time
change weights only after slot behavior is clear
add alternate-symbol context last
consider master smoothing only after the unsmoothed blend already helps

That order is slower than random exploration. It is also much easier to trust.

If you ever lose the thread, go back to step 1 instead of trying to salvage the stack with one more setting.

Quick checks before you save a preset

Can you explain why each enabled slot is there?
Do you know which slots are shaping the blend?
Do you know whether the stack is confirmed or still forming?
Do your threshold levels still mean "stretch" to you, rather than "automatic reversal"?
If you used ALMA, do you know exactly where it is active?

If one of those answers is still vague, the preset needs more verification before it deserves your confidence.
