Feature-rich RSI analytics indicator built for traders who want raw oscillator context and statistical depth instead of simple overbought/oversold signals.

It goes well beyond what a standard RSI provides:

• configurable RSI with selectable price basis (Close, HL2, HLC3, OHLC4, Weighted Close)
• optional SMA or EMA signal line with crossover tracking
• four-tier zone system (Extreme Oversold, Oversold, Neutral, Overbought, Extreme Overbought) with fully adjustable thresholds
• strength-scored divergence detection with configurable filtering
• historical percentile ranking
• reversion speed statistics
• RSI slope, velocity, and acceleration derivatives
• configurable chart background highlighting

The indicator is designed to expose usable raw data rather than interpret conditions for the user. It gives you direct insight into how momentum is behaving through:

• zone occupancy breakdowns with bar counts and percentages over a configurable lookback
• consecutive bars in current zone
• crossing counts and bars since last cross for OB, OS, and midline
• RSI range, mean, min, and max over the lookback window
• percentile ranking of current RSI against its own rolling history
• signal line position and distance

Divergence detection is built to filter noise and score signal quality:

• scans multiple pivot pairs, not just the most recent two
• configurable pivot lookback depth and max divergence bar span
• minimum RSI distance filter to reject weak divergences
• minimum price distance filter (in ticks) to reject noise
• independent toggles for regular and hidden divergence
• strength scoring based on combined RSI and price separation
• panel reports divergence type, bars ago, pivot span, RSI distance, price distance in ticks, and strength score

Reversion speed statistics answer the question: when RSI enters overbought or oversold, how fast does it come back?

• tracks every OB and OS entry over the lookback window
• reports average, minimum, and maximum bars to revert for each zone
• useful for gauging whether the current instrument tends to mean-revert quickly or persist in extremes

Slope, velocity, and acceleration provide RSI momentum derivatives:

• slope measures the rate of RSI change per bar
• velocity measures whether the slope itself is accelerating or decelerating
• acceleration measures the rate of change of velocity
• all computed over a configurable lookback

Chart highlighting lets you paint the chart background based on RSI conditions:

• four configurable highlight slots evaluated in priority order
• each slot has a condition selector, color picker, and opacity control
• available conditions include Overbought, Oversold, Extreme OB, Extreme OS, Above/Below Midline, Above/Below Signal Line, and combined OB-or-OS triggers
• two additional custom threshold slots for arbitrary RSI levels with independent colors
• highlighting appears on the price chart for immediate visual context

The on-chart stats panel is fully configurable:

• displays on the main price chart or the RSI sub-panel (toggleable)
• four panel modes: Compact, Zone Stats, Divergence, and Full
• every section can be independently toggled on or off
• configurable font size, anchor position, and max line limit
• panel update throttling for performance control

This indicator is best suited for traders who want a dense RSI data framework for discretionary decision-making, contextual analysis, and higher-quality momentum structure reading.
