Alerts

The bar-close gate

Every alert in this indicator fires only on confirmed (closed) bars. This is a hard safety layer. Even if a slot has On Bar Close disabled (meaning its RSI updates intrabar), the alert still waits for the bar to close before it can fire.

This means alerts never react to intrabar noise. You will not get a regime-flip alert because K briefly crossed D during a volatile intrabar spike and then uncrossed before the bar closed. The tradeoff is simpler than that: alerts wait for the close. If the condition appears and disappears inside the bar, you will not hear about it.

State alerts vs. edge alerts

The indicator uses two types of alert logic, and confusing them will either flood your notifications or leave you wondering why an alert never fired.

State alerts fire every confirmed bar while a condition remains true. "RSI 01 Is Bullish" fires on every bar where slot 1 is in bullish regime — not just the bar where it became bullish. If you set TradingView's alert frequency to "Once Per Bar Close," you will get a notification on every single bar that the state holds. To get notified only when the state begins, use the corresponding edge alert instead ("RSI 01 Regime Flip").

Edge alerts fire only on the bar where a transition happens. "Blended RSI Regime Flip" fires on the specific bar where the blended regime crossed from bullish to bearish or vice versa, then goes silent until the next crossover. These are naturally one-shot per event and will not flood your notifications regardless of frequency settings.

Per-slot alerts (3 alerts × 10 slots = 30 conditions)

Each enabled slot provides three alert conditions:

RSI ## Is Bullish (state)

Fires every confirmed bar where the slot's RSI (K) is above its Signal (D).

What it confirms: The slot is currently in bullish regime.

What it does not confirm: That the regime is new, that it will persist, or that it is suitable for entry. This alert fires on the 50th bar of a bullish regime just as readily as the first.

Typical use: Background monitoring when you want to know that a specific timeframe is still holding bullish. Combine with TradingView's "Once Per Bar" frequency and pair with a Regime Flip alert if you also want the transition notification.

RSI ## Is Bearish (state)

The inverse of Is Bullish. Fires every confirmed bar where K < D.

RSI ## Regime Flip (edge)

Fires on the confirmed bar where the K > D relationship changes from the prior bar. Covers both bullish-to-bearish and bearish-to-bullish crossovers.

What it confirms: A regime crossover happened on this bar for this slot.

What it does not confirm: That the flip will hold. When K and D are close together, regime can flip on one bar and revert on the next. A single regime flip is an observation, not a conclusion.

Typical use: The primary per-slot alert for most traders. Tells you that a specific timeframe's momentum direction changed without flooding you during extended regimes.

Blended alerts (7 conditions)

These operate on the weighted composite — the Blended RSI and Blended Signal lines.

Blended RSI Is Bullish / Is Bearish (state)

Fires every confirmed bar while the blended composite is in the corresponding regime. Same state-alert behavior as per-slot versions: fires continuously while the condition holds.

What it does not reveal: Which slots agree or disagree. The blend can show bullish regime while one or more individual slots are bearish, because the weighted average still comes out bullish. If you need to know whether all slots agree, use the alignment alerts below.

Blended RSI Regime Flip (edge)

Fires on the bar where the blended regime crosses over.

Typical use: A single notification that tells you the composite momentum picture has shifted direction. This is the most common blended alert for traders who use the blend as their primary reading.

Blended RSI Crossed Above Zero / Crossed Below Zero (edge)

Fires when the blended RSI crosses the zero line from below (above zero) or from above (below zero).

What it confirms: The composite RSI moved from negative territory to positive, or vice versa. This is a midpoint crossing — momentum shifted from below-average to above-average in composite terms.

What it does not confirm: Regime state. The blended RSI can cross above zero while still in bearish regime (RSI above 0 but below Signal). Zero-cross and regime flip are independent events.

Blended RSI Overbought / Oversold (edge)

Fires when the blended RSI crosses above the OB level or below the OS level.

What it confirms: The composite reached the configured threshold. At the default ±70, this means the composite RSI is at a standard-equivalent RSI of 85 (OB) or 15 (OS) — genuinely extreme readings.

What it does not confirm: That a reversal is coming. Overbought is a description of current state, not a prediction. In strong trends, the oscillator can stay above the OB threshold for extended periods.

Alignment alerts (2 conditions)

All RSI Slots Bullish (state)

Fires every confirmed bar where every enabled slot with a non-na RSI reading shows bullish regime (K > D).

What it confirms: Unanimous bullish agreement across your configured stack. Every slot you enabled, on every timeframe and ticker you selected, is seeing momentum above its own signal line.

What it does not confirm: That the market is bullish. You chose the slots, the timeframes, and the settings. Agreement across your chosen evidence is not the same as agreement across the market. If your three slots are on 5m, 15m, and 60m of the same instrument, unanimous bullish means the RSI evidence you selected agrees — it says nothing about the daily or weekly picture you are not monitoring.

All RSI Slots Bearish (state)

The inverse. Fires when every enabled slot with a non-na reading shows bearish regime.

Choosing alerts for your workflow

With 39 conditions available, the worst thing you can do is enable most of them. Here is how to think about selection:

If your workflow is multi-timeframe regime scanning

You want to know when your timeframes agree or when a key timeframe flips.

Consider:

Regime Flip alerts for each slot you actively monitor (2–4 slots typically).
"All RSI Slots Bullish" and "All RSI Slots Bearish" for full-stack alignment notification.

Skip: State alerts for individual slots (you will be watching the chart when it matters). Blended OB/OS (those are extreme readings that rarely fire with default thresholds).

If your workflow uses the blended composite as a primary signal

You trust the composite and want to know when it shifts.

Consider:

Blended RSI Regime Flip for direction changes.
Blended RSI Crossed Above/Below Zero for midpoint crossings.
Optionally, Blended RSI Overbought/Oversold if you trade mean reversion at extremes.

Skip: Per-slot state alerts (you are relying on the blend to do the aggregation). Per-slot regime flips unless you also want early warning from individual timeframes.

If your workflow monitors a reference ticker

You have one or two slots on cross-ticker RSI and want to know when the reference diverges from your primary.

Consider:

Regime Flip on the reference-ticker slot(s).
Regime Flip on your primary-ticker slot(s).
Compare the two when they fire at different times.

Skip: Blended alerts (blending cross-ticker slots produces a custom composite that may not match how you think about the reference relationship).

General guidance

Start with 3–5 alerts that match the decisions you actually make. Add more only if you find yourself missing events that would have changed your behavior.
Use edge alerts (Regime Flip, zero-cross, OB/OS cross) for notifications. Use state alerts (Is Bullish/Bearish) only for background monitoring where continuous confirmation matters.
Set TradingView's alert frequency appropriately. "Once Per Bar Close" is correct for state alerts you want recurring. "Once Per Bar" can produce repeat notifications you did not intend.

After an alert fires

An alert tells you something changed or something holds. It does not tell you what to do. After any alert fires:

Check the chart. Confirm the alert matches what you see in the pane. If the alert says "Blended RSI Regime Flip" but the blend currently looks stable, the flip may have happened on the previous bar and already reverted. Check the bar timestamp in TradingView's alert log.

Check individual slot regimes if the alert was blended-level. The blend may show bullish while individual slots disagree. A blended regime flip driven by one dominant slot is different from one driven by broad agreement. Look at the slot line colors. If they are mixed, the flip is less decisive than the alert alone suggests.

Check price context. RSI momentum state is one input to your process, not the whole process. A bullish regime flip on a chart where price is pressing into resistance or failing to make new highs is a conflict, not a confirmation. The alert tells you what RSI did. It does not tell you whether the price structure supports acting on it.

Assess conviction. If a regime-flip alert fired and then the regime flips back on the very next bar, the K/D lines were close together. This is a low-conviction crossover — the RSI and Signal were nearly equal when they crossed. Treat it as ambiguity, not as two actionable signals. Regime flips that hold for multiple bars after the crossover carry more weight than flips that immediately revert. You cannot know in advance which type you are seeing, but if the flip happens near the zero line with the slot lines drifting rather than moving sharply, skepticism is appropriate.
