# ConnorsRSI Indicator

This is an implementation of the ConnorsRSI indicator developed by Larry Connors.

It is based on a description of the indicator in his book [*Buy the Fear, Sell the Greed*](https://moshferatu.dev/moshferatu/buy-the-fear-sell-the-greed) (2018).

The formula given in the book is as follows:

```
ConnorsRSI(3, 2, 100) = (RSI(Close, 3) + RSI(Streak, 2) + PercentRank(Close, 100)) / 3
```

The first component is a standard RSI calculation on the Close price.

The Streak "price" is measured in terms of how many bars in a row the closing price has increased / decreased, and the second RSI component is calculated from that.

Any time the price goes from decreasing to increasing (or vice versa), the streak is set to 1 (or -1) and then incremented (or decremented) from there.

If there is no change in price, the streak is set to 0.

The third and final component is a percent rank computed on the Close price.

## Parameters

**Streak RSI Period**: The period used in the second component RSI calculation. (Default 2)
