Axiom RSI Osc STR

Why this pane exists

STR is a reading tool. Its whole job is to describe where the blended relative-strength conversation across your stack of slots actually is — not where you wish it were, not where a prettier indicator would paint it. The pack treats that posture as load-bearing. If you came here looking for a pane that issues entries, gives a cleaner version of an RSI you already distrust, or adds four confirmations that make a decision feel safer, STR is the wrong pick and this manual will say so more than once. What STR does well is let a careful reader ask more specific questions of a multi-timeframe RSI stack — and it rewards the reader who treats every new surface as a new responsibility rather than a new feature.

What this pane is

A stacked multi-timeframe RSI with a weighted-mean blend and four structure features derived from that blend. Up to five slots run RSI in parallel. Each slot carries its own source, optional cross-ticker, timeframe, lengths, MA family per smoothing pass, weight, and per-slot bar-close posture. The blend is a weighted average of the slots' smoothed RSI and signal values. On top of the blend sit four framings: a confirmed-pivot divergence check, a Keltner envelope, a BBWP column series, and a Donchian channel. All four wrap the blended line; none of them wraps price.

The pane's vertical axis is native RSI, clamped into 0..100. Nothing is re-normalized or rescaled. Fifty is the midline. Seventy and thirty are reference bands you can move. Zero and one hundred are structural rails the math cannot cross. For the structural distinction from Stoch-RSI and classical single-timeframe RSI, see For the Geeks.

Where this version sits

Axiom indicator families use a Base -> CTX -> STR progression when the full set exists. Base is the free, focused version: three context slots, chart-symbol only, limited filtering through the MA surface, and one global bar-close posture. CTX expands that same RSI Osc logic into broader context: up to ten slots, per-slot symbol and timing control, and the larger Extended MA surface. STR is the structure expansion at the end of the series. It keeps CTX-style per-slot control and the Extended MA surface, but it runs five slots instead of ten because the extra processing budget goes into structure on the blended RSI itself.

That trade is the point of this trim. You give up CTX's ten-slot breadth and gain four structure reads around the blended RSI: divergence against chart price, Keltner stretch, BBWP width regime, and Donchian range. STR sits at the end of the sequence; it is the structure version, not a reduced context version. It is the more advanced structure variant for readers who want to ask what the blended RSI is doing relative to its own recent behavior without leaving the pane.

Who is well served by STR

You are a fit for STR if you already trust the stacked-RSI-with-weighted-blend idea and you want to ask more specific questions of the blend. Is it pressing against its own recent range edges. Is it stretched against its own smoothed basis. Is its width compressed or expanded by its own history. Is its line disagreeing with chart price at a confirmed pivot pair. You are a fit if you want to carry a cross-ticker — a benchmark, a correlated instrument, a volatility proxy — as a voice inside the blend. You are a fit if you want finer control over repaint posture at the slot level and you are prepared to think about what a mixed-posture blend actually reports.

You are probably not a fit if you want a pane that paints entries. You are probably not a fit if you plan to enable five slots at identical settings and read the resulting alignment as breadth — STR makes that trap larger than Base does, not smaller, and the manual will name it more than once. You are probably not a fit if the main question you are asking of an indicator is "is this going up from here," because STR does not answer that question and does not pretend to.

The two most expensive misreads on STR

Two misreads cost more here than anywhere else on the pane, and this page refuses to bury them at the bottom.

First, a confirmed divergence triangle is geometry. It is two price pivots paired with two blended-RSI values at the same offsets, compared in a specific pattern. It is not an entry. It is not a forecast. It is not a call on the next bar. Acting on every triangle that prints is a posture that will drain an account faster than reading the triangles at all. The triangle's job is to prompt you to inspect the underlying slot stack, not to replace that inspection.

Second, when Keltner, BBWP, Donchian, and divergence all seem to agree at the same moment, they are one line agreeing with itself. All four features read off the same blended RSI, so their apparent confluence is structural, not confirmatory. If the blend is misconfigured — duplication in the slot stack, a mixed-posture blend, a mismatched cross-ticker — the misconfiguration propagates into all four features, and the confluence of wrong looks very much like the confluence of right. There is no safe way to read feature agreement as independent evidence on this pane.

Both traps are easy to stumble into while the pane looks clean and convincing. Both are treated in full in Limitations and Trust Boundaries, which is the page the rest of the pack is built around.

Known current behavior you should hold in mind

The All RSI Slots Bullish and All RSI Slots Bearish alerts do not fire when slot 05 is enabled. The reason sits inside the alignment counter's current shape in the script — the slot-05 arm inflates the active-slot count past what the per-slot bullish count can ever match. The default ships with slot 05 disabled, so most first-run configurations are unaffected. If you enable slot 05, treat the all-slot alignment alerts as four-slot-maximum signals until upstream remediation. See Troubleshooting for the symptom, Alerts for the disclosure in context, and Limitations and Trust Boundaries for the framing. This manual does not edit Pine source and does not promise the behavior is fixed; it names the behavior plainly and carries the workaround in plain view.

How to read the rest of this pack

If the pane is new to you, open Quick Start and run it on a 1-minute chart of a liquid symbol at defaults before changing anything. Spend twenty minutes reading what the shipped configuration is already telling you before you touch an input. When you are ready to configure on purpose, Settings walks every input with a cost stated in both directions. Visuals and Logic installs the four-stage reading order you will come back to every session. MTF and Repainting is the page to open before you touch bar-close posture on any slot, and especially before you mix postures across slots. Alerts names exactly what fires, what does not, and what the list cannot be asked to do for you. Workflows holds four scenario cards you can adapt rather than imitate. Limitations and Trust Boundaries is the page to return to when a read starts to feel heavier than it should.
