I am trying to create a filter for an RSI bottom failure swing, but am not having success. A bottom failure is when the price makes a new low and the RSI is in a downtrend (under 30) but fails to set a new low, and then the RSI proceeds to exceed a previous peak.
I've tried "show stocks where the price is at a new 5 day low and the RSI(14) 2 days ago had been decreasing for the last 1 day and the RSI(14) 1 day ago was above the RSI(14) 5 day low and the RSI(14) is above the last RSI(14) 5 day high" but it doesn't give me the RSI increasing on the last day. Has anyone created such a filter, or can anyone with more experience than I have figure this out? Thanks. --BJ

FOR THE RECORD THIS IS NOT HOLYGRAIL. THIS IS HIS TRADING BUDDY.
You have an ERROR in your premiss.
"I am trying to create a filter for an RSI bottom failure swing, but am not having success. A bottom failure is when the price makes a new low and the RSI is in a downtrend (under 30) but fails to set a new low, and then the RSI proceeds to exceed a previous peak."
If the price today sets a new low then the rsi will NOT be PROCEEDING to exceed a previous peak today! See the problem?
You need to simplify.
Do you want stocks when the close is a new LOW and the RSI is not as low as before?
I don't think you want the stocks AFTER the RSI has exceeding a previous peak because the price has gone up WITHOUT YOU!

Appreciate your response HG, but the premise is correct. For a bottom failure swing the 2nd trough of the RSI line is higher than the previous RSI trough but the PRICE at the 2nd trough goes DOWN. So a divergence is created where the RSI trendline slopes up while the price trendline slopes down. Wilder considers the divergence the single most powerful indicator for his RSI.
I tried again this morning, and found some dynamite results with the filter below, but I am still not getting the syntax to yield a final-stage rising RSI (it should reach or exceed its most recent peak). What I tried this morning is: Show stocks where the price is at a new 10 day low and the RSI(14) 1 day ago had been decreasing for the last 3 days and the RSI(14) 2 days ago was above the previous RSI(14) 10 day low and the RSI(14) is above the previous RSI(14) high." -- Again, anyone able to crack this nut? --BJ

I understand POSITIVE DIVERGENCE...
You want stocks where a LOWER LOW PRICE has an RSI HIGHER THAN the previous RSI LOW.
Once again, I think you want to buy the stocks at THIS POINT IN TIME, not after they go up, but then again, I could be wrong.

Wow, D, you put some real work into that one. I need to chew on it for a while. You did manage to get the RSI up last day. What would be helpful is if SF had a way to refer to the "most recent peak" [or trough]. That way, one wouldn't have to limit oneself to specifying a particular number of days. It would include all matches for instance "where the RSI(14) 0 days ago is above last RSI(14) peak." Maybe Tomb could make it happen. --BJ

HG Trading Buddy, I have re-studied your post and filter, and I see your point about the benefit of not waiting until the RSI goes up again. Thank you for your help. And I'm sorry that I missed that it was you and not HG I was addressing. --BJ
