RSI Indicator Enhancement Request

Hi Dhan Team,

I see a nice feature “Calculate Divergence” in RSI indicator of tradingview, where it marks the Bull or Bear Divergence automatically on the indicator itself. I don’t see that feature in RSI indicator of Dhan TV. Though there is a separate RSI Divergence indicator but that is not having similar feature. Can you please add this feature in the main RSI Indicator?

I’ve given example screenshot from tradingview (free subscription only) .

Here is the pine script source code

//@version=6
indicator(title=“Relative Strength Index”, shorttitle=“RSI”, format=format.price, precision=2, timeframe=“”, timeframe_gaps=true)

rsiLengthInput = input.int(14, minval=1, title=“RSI Length”, group=“RSI Settings”)
rsiSourceInput = input.source(close, “Source”, group=“RSI Settings”)
calculateDivergence = input.bool(false, title=“Calculate Divergence”, group=“RSI Settings”, display = display.data_window, tooltip = “Calculating divergences is needed in order for divergence alerts to fire.”)

change = ta.change(rsiSourceInput)
up = ta.rma(math.max(change, 0), rsiLengthInput)
down = ta.rma(-math.min(change, 0), rsiLengthInput)
rsi = down == 0 ? 100 : up == 0 ? 0 : 100 - (100 / (1 + up / down))

rsiPlot = plot(rsi, “RSI”, color=#7E57C2)
rsiUpperBand = hline(70, “RSI Upper Band”, color=#787B86)
midline = hline(50, “RSI Middle Band”, color=color.new(#787B86, 50))
rsiLowerBand = hline(30, “RSI Lower Band”, color=#787B86)
fill(rsiUpperBand, rsiLowerBand, color=color.rgb(126, 87, 194, 90), title=“RSI Background Fill”)
midLinePlot = plot(50, color = na, editable = false, display = display.none)
fill(rsiPlot, midLinePlot, 100, 70, top_color = color.new(color.green, 0), bottom_color = color.new(color.green, 100), title = “Overbought Gradient Fill”)

Hii @SumanKJana , thanks a lot for sharing your feedback on adding a Calculate Divergence option under RSI (Relative Strength Index). We have shared your suggestion with our team for further enhancement.

Don’t keep high hopes @SumanKJana.
Since past few years, many people have requested this RSI Divergence feature/indicator. There has always been a generic reply (only).

Thanks for supporting and raising the concern. Dhan Team should start a voting option for all the requested features by this vibrant trader’s community to check the pulse of the demand and prioritize the most demanded features. RSI is very common indicator, and many will love this feature once they use it.
