How the Crypto Comparison Tool Works
This page is designed for traders who want fast, data-driven comparisons without opening dozens of charts. The comparison tool aggregates key indicator signals into a single view: RSI (momentum extremes), TSI (trend momentum), and ADX (trend strength). By screening these indicators together, you can prioritize symbols where multiple signals align.
Multi-Indicator Scoring: RSI, TSI, and ADX
The comparison tool combines three important technical indicators to provide a comprehensive picture of market conditions:
- RSI (Relative Strength Index): Measures momentum extremes and identifies overbought/oversold conditions. RSI values above 70 indicate overbought conditions, while values below 30 indicate oversold conditions.
- TSI (True Strength Index): A trend momentum indicator that measures trend direction and strength. TSI helps identify trend reversals and momentum shifts.
- ADX (Average Directional Index): Measures trend strength (not direction). ADX values above 25 indicate a strong trend, while values below 25 suggest range-bound or weak trend conditions.
Professional Advantage: By combining these three indicators, you can quickly identify symbols where multiple signals align, leading to higher-probability trading setups. The
comparison tool from Trade Analyzer Pro automatically updates this data every 2 minutes for all major cryptocurrencies.
Signal Logic: Long vs Short vs Mixed
The comparison tool categorizes cryptocurrencies based on combined indicator signals:
- Long candidates: Typically appear when the combined indicator score suggests oversold or bullish momentum setups. These symbols show potential buying opportunities when RSI and TSI show low values and ADX confirms a strong trend.
- Short candidates: Typically appear when indicators reflect overbought conditions or bearish momentum setups. These symbols show potential selling opportunities when RSI and TSI show high values.
- Mixed signals: Occur when indicators show conflicting signals. In practice, the best trades often come from confluence: momentum + trend context + confirmation on higher timeframes.
Important Point: Individual indicator signals can be misleading. The comparison tool helps combine and validate these signals to identify higher-quality trading setups. Always use multi-timeframe confirmation for stronger signals.
Multi-Timeframe Confirmation (15m, 1h, 4h, 1d)
Crypto is noisy on lower timeframes. Use this tool to confirm whether a setup holds across multiple horizons:
- 15-Minutes (15m): Ideal for short-term momentum signals and quick entry/exit points. 15m data helps identify early momentum shifts.
- 1-Hour (1h): Provides a balance between signal frequency and reliability. 1h data is ideal for intraday trading decisions.
- 4-Hours (4h): Excellent for swing trading and medium-term trend confirmation. 4h data helps identify trend stability and regime changes.
- Daily (1d): Important for long-term trend analysis and position trading. Daily data helps identify major trend reversals and structural market shifts.
Professional Workflow: A professional workflow is to filter on 15m/1h for early momentum, then validate on 4h/1d for trend confirmation and regime stability. The
comparison tool displays all these timeframes side-by-side for quick comparisons.
Professional Workflow: Combine With Filters and Market Context
For higher accuracy, pair this tool with other analysis tools:
- Indicator Filter: Use the indicator filter to combine additional technical indicators like MACD, Ichimoku, and other momentum indicators.
- Crypto Screener: Combine the comparison tool with the crypto screener to find trading opportunities based on multiple criteria.
- Market Context: Add market context using market status and validate momentum/trend using MACD, Ichimoku, and ADX for more comprehensive analysis.
- RSI Deep Dive: If you want a deeper RSI guide, see RSI Indicator Crypto Analysis.
Key Features:

Crypto Comparison Tool FAQ
How do I use the crypto comparison tool?
Search for a symbol and compare RSI, TSI, and ADX side-by-side. Confirm signals across 15m, 1h, 4h and 1d, then refine with the indicator filter for multi-indicator confluence. The tool displays average values for each indicator across all timeframes, enabling quick comparisons.
Step-by-step:
- Open the comparison tool
- Search for a crypto symbol (e.g., BTC, ETH)
- Review RSI, TSI, and ADX average values across all timeframes
- Identify symbols with aligned signals (e.g., low RSI/TSI for long setups, high RSI/TSI for short setups)
- Confirm with the indicator filter and crypto screener for additional validation
What does ADX mean in crypto trading?
ADX (Average Directional Index) measures trend strength (not direction). Higher ADX values generally indicate a stronger trend, while low ADX suggests range-bound conditions.
- ADX above 25: Indicates a strong trend. In strong trends, momentum indicators like RSI and TSI are more reliable.
- ADX below 25: Indicates weak trend conditions or range-bound markets. In these conditions, overbought/oversold signals from RSI are more effective.
- ADX above 40: Indicates a very strong trend. In extreme trends, momentum indicators can remain in extreme zones for longer periods.
Important: Combine ADX with RSI and TSI to avoid momentum traps in weak trends. A high ADX confirms that RSI/TSI signals occur in a strong trend context, making them more reliable.
Can I combine RSI, TSI and ADX with other indicators?
Yes, absolutely! For higher-quality setups, you should combine the comparison tool with other analysis tools:
- Crypto Screener: Use the crypto screener to add additional filters like volume, price changes, and market capitalization.
- Indicator Filter: Use the indicator filter to combine additional signals like MACD, Ichimoku, Bollinger Bands, and other technical indicators.
- Market Status: Add market context with market status to understand whether the market is in a bull or bear market.
- Multi-Timeframe Validation: Always confirm signals across multiple timeframes (15m, 1h, 4h, 1d) for stronger setups.
Professional Tip: The best trading setups occur when multiple indicators align across multiple timeframes. Use the comparison tool as a starting point, then refine with additional tools for higher accuracy.
What is the difference between RSI, TSI, and ADX?
These three indicators measure different aspects of market dynamics:
- RSI (Relative Strength Index): A momentum oscillator that measures the speed and magnitude of price changes. RSI identifies overbought/oversold conditions and provides values from 0-100.
- TSI (True Strength Index): A trend momentum indicator that measures trend direction and strength. TSI helps identify trend reversals and momentum shifts and is less prone to noise than RSI.
- ADX (Average Directional Index): Measures trend strength (not direction). ADX indicates whether a strong trend is present (above 25) or whether the market is range-bound (below 25).
Combination: Together, these three indicators provide a comprehensive picture: RSI shows momentum extremes, TSI shows trend momentum, and ADX shows trend strength. This combination helps identify both momentum setups and trend context.
How often are the data in the comparison tool updated?
The comparison tool automatically updates RSI, TSI, and ADX values every 2 minutes for all major cryptocurrencies across all timeframes (15m, 1h, 4h, 1d). This ensures you always have the most current data for your trading decisions.
Real-time updates include:
- RSI average values across all timeframes
- TSI average values across all timeframes
- ADX average values across all timeframes
- Combined average values for quick comparisons
- Long and short candidates based on combined signals
