Overbought/Oversold Zones:

Show Overbought and OverSold Zones: Highlights when RSI goes above 70 (overbought) or below 30 (oversold).

Moving Averages on RSI:

The default Moving Average (MA) settings are tailored to capture macro shifts in market trends:

Show Moving Averages: Option to overlay two MAs on the RSI for trend confirmation:

Fast RSI MA:

RSI Period: 50 (this is the period over which the RSI is calculated).

MA Length: 50 (the number of periods used for the moving average of the RSI).

Slow RSI MA:

RSI Period: 50 (same as fast for consistency in RSI calculation).

MA Length: 200 (longer term for capturing broader trends).

Crossover Signals: The RSI changes color from red to green based on these moving average crossovers:

When the Fast MA (50 period) crosses above the Slow MA (200 period), the RSI turns green, indicating potential bullish conditions or momentum shift.

Conversely, when the Fast MA crosses below the Slow MA, the RSI turns red, suggesting bearish conditions or a shift back towards a downtrend.

This 50-period RSI crossover setting is used to identify overall macro shifts in the market, providing a clear visual cue for traders looking at longer-term trends.

Ghost Lines (Optional):

Ghost Lines: Option to limit how far RSI trend lines extend, helping to keep the chart less cluttered.
