Adaptable Relative Momentum Index [ParadoxAlgo]The Adaptable Relative Momentum Index (RMI) by ParadoxAlgo is an advanced momentum-based indicator that builds upon the well-known RSI (Relative Strength Index) concept by introducing a customizable momentum length. This indicator measures price momentum over a specified number of periods and applies a Rolling Moving Average (RMA) to both the positive and negative price changes. The result is a versatile tool that can help traders gauge the strength of a trend, pinpoint overbought/oversold levels, and potentially identify breakout opportunities.

Smart Configuration Feature
What sets this version of the RMI apart is ParadoxAlgo’s exclusive “Smart Configuration” functionality. Instead of manually adjusting parameters, traders can simply select their Asset Class (e.g., Stocks, Forex, Futures/Indices, Crypto, Commodities) and Trading Style (e.g., Scalping, Day Trading, Swing Trading, Short-Term Investing, Long-Term Investing). Based on these selections, the indicator automatically optimizes its core parameters:
• Length – The period over which the price changes are smoothed.
• Momentum Length – The number of bars used to calculate the price change.
By automating this process, users save time on tedious trial-and-error adjustments, ensuring that the RMI’s settings are tailored to the characteristics of specific markets and personal trading horizons.
