Indicator
Calculates a selected technical indicator from connected market data.
Calculates a selected technical indicator from connected market data.
When to use
Use it when a strategy needs RSI or another available indicator value derived from bars or an active input mode.
Example
Calculate RSI(14) from one-minute BTC/USD closing prices and pass the result to Condition.
Read the calculation
Connect Data Source: Bars to Indicator: Bars, choose the bars input mode, RSI, period 14, and Close as the price source. Connect the active RSI numeric output to Condition's Left input. Event Trigger supplies the separate control arrival that makes Condition evaluate; Indicator itself has no control outcome. If a bar produces RSI 62 and Condition compares it with literal 60 using Greater than, Match is taken. RSI 58 takes No Match. These values illustrate the comparison, not a guaranteed RSI sequence.
The node exposes different ports for different indicator types and input modes. A scalar output is suitable for a numeric comparison; an indicator series is for consumers that accept a series. After changing RSI to another type, inspect the now-active output and reconnect the consumer if needed. Early bars may lack the history needed for a period-14 result; missing values are not zero.
BB and MACD are Pro options of Indicator. Other indicator choices may have different parameters, output ports and history requirements; the node's general availability does not grant every option.
Common problems
Select the input mode and indicator-specific settings before connecting consumers. Insufficient history can make early values unavailable.
