  Then multiply the RSI parameter value. If what your trading is open for 24 hours per day, it looks like this: (60/5)*24*14 = 4032 => RSI[4032]

  Hi Abz

  Forgive the daft question from me … are you asking cos RSI is usually for 14 periods as RSI[14](close)?

  If No, then you could set the period for the number of 5 mins in 14 days (20,160) so RSI[20160](close) and run on the 5Min TF ... but such a wide variation is unusual surely?


  Cheers
