RTA (Real-Time Analysis) combines multiple technical indicators into a practical scanning workflow. Instead of relying on a single signal, RTA combines RSI (momentum extremes), TSI (trend momentum), and ADX (trend strength) to identify setups where multiple factors align.
Use RTA Tool NowRTA (Real-Time Analysis) is designed to turn raw indicators into a practical scanning workflow. Instead of relying on a single signal, RTA combines RSI (momentum extremes), TSI (trend momentum), and ADX (trend strength) to help you identify setups where multiple factors align. This approach reduces false positives, especially in volatile crypto markets.
Important: For detailed information about the RSI indicator, its calculation and usage, read our comprehensive RSI Indicator Guide. RSI is used in RTA to identify momentum extremes.
The True Strength Index (TSI) is a momentum oscillator that measures trend strength and direction. Unlike RSI, TSI uses double exponential smoothing, making it less prone to noise.
Step 1: Calculate Price Change Momentum (PCM)
PCM = Close - Close[n]
Step 2: Apply Exponential Smoothing
PCMS = EMA(EMA(PCM, r), s)
Step 3: Smooth Absolute PCM
APCMS = EMA(EMA(|PCM|, r), s)
Step 4: Calculate TSI
TSI = (PCMS / APCMS) × 100
Where: r = typically 25, s = typically 13
If a crypto asset has a TSI value of +45, this indicates strong positive momentum. A TSI value of -30 indicates negative momentum. TSI values above +25 are considered bullish, while values below -25 are considered bearish.
The Average Directional Index (ADX) measures the strength of a trend, regardless of direction. A high ADX value indicates a strong trend, while a low ADX value indicates sideways movement or a weak trend.
Step 1: Calculate Directional Movement
+DM = High - High[1] (if > 0 and > |Low - Low[1]|)-DM = Low[1] - Low (if > 0 and > |High - High[1]|)
Step 2: Calculate True Range (TR)
TR = max(High - Low, |High - Close[1]|, |Low - Close[1]|)
Step 3: Calculate Smoothed TR and DM
ATR = EMA(TR, n)+DI = (+DM / ATR) × 100-DI = (-DM / ATR) × 100
Step 4: Calculate Directional Index (DX)
DX = (|+DI - -DI| / (+DI + -DI)) × 100
Step 5: Calculate ADX
ADX = EMA(DX, n)
Where: n = typically 14 periods
An ADX value of 25-50 indicates a strong trend. Values above 50 are very rare and indicate an extremely strong trend. Values below 20 indicate sideways movement or a weak trend. In RTA, ADX is used to determine whether a trend is strong enough to trade.
The RTA Score combines RSI, TSI, and ADX into a single value that indicates the overall strength and direction of a signal. The exact formula varies by implementation, but typically:
RTA Score Calculation (simplified):
RTA = (RSI_Weight × RSI_Normalized) + (TSI_Weight × TSI_Normalized) + (ADX_Weight × ADX_Normalized)
Weighting and normalization depend on the specific implementation. Low RTA values (< 30) indicate long opportunities, while high values (> 70) indicate short opportunities.
Long candidates typically appear when momentum indicators point to oversold or bullish reversal conditions and the trend context supports upside continuation. Specifically, this means:
Bitcoin shows on the 4h timeframe: RSI = 28 (oversold but rising), TSI = -20 (rising from -35), ADX = 32 (strong trend), +DI = 28, -DI = 15 (bullish trend). This indicates a potential long opportunity, especially if the 1h timeframe also shows bullish signals.
Short candidates typically appear when indicators reflect overbought conditions or bearish momentum. Specifically, this means:
Ethereum shows on the 1h timeframe: RSI = 75 (overbought but falling), TSI = +30 (falling from +45), ADX = 28 (strong trend), -DI = 25, +DI = 12 (bearish trend). This indicates a potential short opportunity, especially if the 4h timeframe also shows bearish signals.
When signals are mixed (e.g., RSI is overbought, but TSI still shows positive momentum), professional traders often wait for confirmation across higher timeframes or validate with additional filters. In such cases:
Lower timeframes (15m, 1h) are useful for early entries and momentum shifts, while higher timeframes (4h, 1d) provide trend context and reduce noise. A high-quality setup is more reliable when RTA conditions align across at least two timeframes.
Professional Tip: Use the RSI Dashboard to compare RSI conditions across all four timeframes (15m, 1h, 4h, 1d) simultaneously. This helps you identify multi-timeframe confluence.
For the best signal quality, you should:
Scenario: Bitcoin shows a strong uptrend on the 1d timeframe (ADX = 35, +DI > -DI). On the 4h timeframe, RTA shows an oversold condition (RSI = 32, rising). On the 1h timeframe, RTA shows a clear long opportunity (RSI = 28, TSI = -22, ADX = 28).
Interpretation: This is a strong long setup because the main trend (1d) is bullish, the middle timeframe (4h) shows a correction, and the short-term timeframe (1h) provides an entry point. The confluence across three timeframes significantly increases the probability of a successful trade.
For the best results, combine RTA with other tools on TradeAnalyzer.Pro:
Use the indicator filter to find crypto assets that meet specific RTA conditions. You can filter by RSI, TSI, ADX, and other indicators simultaneously.
Use the comparison tool to compare multiple crypto assets side by side and identify the best RTA setups.
Check the overall market status to ensure your RTA signals align with the broader market context. A bullish RTA signal is stronger when the overall market is also bullish.
Validate momentum and regime with:

RTA is a multi-indicator real-time analysis method that combines RSI, TSI and ADX to produce actionable long/short candidates. It helps confirm momentum and trend strength across multiple timeframes. RTA reduces false signals by combining multiple indicators rather than relying on a single signal.
Start with 15m/1h for early momentum and validate on 4h/1d for trend context. A setup is typically stronger when multiple timeframes align. For multi-indicator filtering, use the indicator filter. Also use the RSI Dashboard to compare RSI conditions across all timeframes.
Yes. Combine RTA with the crypto screener and comparison tool, and validate with market context via market status. For RSI-specific analysis, use the RSI Dashboard.
The True Strength Index (TSI) is calculated in multiple steps: First, Price Change Momentum (PCM) is calculated as the difference between current and previous close prices. Then double exponential smoothing is applied (typically with periods r=25 and s=13). TSI is the ratio between smoothed PCM and smoothed absolute PCM, multiplied by 100. TSI values above +25 are considered bullish, values below -25 are considered bearish.
The Average Directional Index (ADX) measures trend strength regardless of direction. It is calculated from Directional Movement indicators (+DI and -DI) that measure positive and negative directional movement. First, +DM and -DM are calculated, then True Range (TR) is calculated. ADX is the exponentially smoothed average of the Directional Index (DX) calculated from +DI and -DI. ADX values above 25 indicate a strong trend, values below 20 indicate sideways movement.
RSI measures momentum extremes (overbought/oversold) and is best suited for identifying reversal points. TSI measures trend momentum with double exponential smoothing and is less prone to noise. ADX measures trend strength regardless of direction and helps determine whether a trend is strong enough to trade. RTA combines all three to produce more robust signals.
When RTA signals are mixed (e.g., RSI is overbought, but TSI still shows positive momentum), you should wait for confirmation across higher timeframes or use additional filters. Check the 4h or 1d timeframe for trend context, use additional indicators like MACD or Ichimoku, and wait for clear confluence of multiple signals before trading.
