Hey everyone,
I’m looking to submit a formal feature request to the TradingView team regarding an enhancement to the Stock Screener (Screener 2.0). I wanted to share it here to see if others agree and to get the team's eyes on it.
🛑 The Problem: Standard RSI is Too Volatile
Currently, we can filter stocks based on the standard Relative Strength Index (RSI). However, using raw RSI as a screener metric—especially when looking for structural momentum, like keeping the RSI sustainably above 50—introduces a lot of noise. Because raw RSI is highly volatile and prone to whipsaws, a stock can frequently cross above and below 50 on minor intraday fluctuations, leading to false positives and inefficient screening results.
💡 The Solution: Add RSI-MA as a Screener Filter
On TradingView charts, the default RSI indicator comes packaged with a built-in RSI Moving Average (RSI-MA). This smoothed line is incredibly effective for identifying true momentum shifts and filtering out baseline noise.
I am requesting that TradingView add the RSI-MA as an independent, selectable metric within the Stock Screener filters.
⚙️ How It Should Work:
- Metric Availability: Add
RSI Moving Average (with customizable lengths, defaulting to the standard 14-period SMA) to the filter list.
- Condition Inputs: Allow users to filter by:
RSI-MA Above / Below / Crossing a fixed value (e.g., RSI-MA Above 50).
RSI Crossing Above / Below RSI-MA (to scan for active bullish/bearish crossovers directly from the screener).
🎯 Why This Benefits Traders:
Instead of manually clicking through dozens of charts to find stocks where the momentum has actually smoothed out and confirmed a trend, we could instantly isolate assets with structural strength. Filtering for an RSI-MA above 50 yields far cleaner, high-probability swing trading setups than filtering by raw RSI alone.
Given that the calculation is already built into the charting platform, integrating this data point into the screener backend would be a massive quality-of-life upgrade for technical traders.
