Strategy overview

The Relative Strength Index measures the speed and size of recent price changes on a bounded 0–100 scale, and most traders first meet it as an overbought/oversold gauge. This entry sits in a different camp: here RSI is not the signal generator but the confirmation half of a two-indicator trend-following pair, where a separate volatility-based trend tool establishes direction first and the RSI reading only carries weight once that direction is set. The RSI itself is also not read as a raw line — the version used wraps it in smoothing and statistical bands, so the question becomes how the oscillator behaves relative to its own recent range rather than whether it crossed a fixed level.

The source is Trendline Project's video "Perfect Trend Following Strategy In Details with 2 FREE TradingView Indicators: Zero Lag + TP RSI", which pairs the channel's own TP RSI with Algo Alpha's Zero Lag Trend Signals MTF — both public TradingView scripts. That pairing is the distinctive part: one indicator is multi-timeframe and volatility-derived, built to describe trend state across several horizons at once, while the other reworks a classic oscillator. The video is tightly structured, spending roughly a minute on each indicator before moving to the strategy logic, then closing with two practical segments — optimisation tips and, tellingly, avoiding consolidation.

That last chapter is the honest signal about this family of setups. Trend-following combinations built on a trend filter plus an oscillator tend to perform very differently in directional markets than in ranges, and the fact that the presenter dedicates a dedicated section to sidestepping consolidation says more about the approach's real-world failure mode than any list of settings would. This page catalogs the strategy's concept, its indicator pair and the source video; the listing spans all timeframes with short-term intraday and daily called out specifically.

Frequently asked questions

How is RSI used in a trend-following strategy instead of as an overbought/oversold signal?

In a trend-following context, RSI is treated as a confirmation layer rather than a reversal trigger: direction is established first by a trend filter, and the oscillator is used to judge whether momentum agrees with that direction. Readings that would look like "overbought" in a mean-reversion framework can be normal — even desirable — inside an established uptrend.

Which indicators does this strategy combine?

Two free public TradingView scripts: Zero Lag Trend Signals MTF by Algo Alpha, which derives trend state from volatility across multiple timeframes, and TP RSI by TrendlineProject, which applies smoothing and statistical bands to the classic RSI rather than reading it as a plain line.

Why does the video include a section on avoiding consolidation?

Because sideways markets are the natural weak point of trend-following indicator combinations. When there is no sustained direction, a trend filter flips back and forth and the oscillator produces conflicting readings, so the presenter treats range detection as a required part of using the setup rather than an afterthought.

What timeframes does this approach target, and how should I evaluate it?

The strategy is catalogued for all timeframes, with short-term intraday and daily specifically noted — the multi-timeframe trend component is designed to be read across horizons. As with any indicator combination, backtest it on historical data for your own market before risking capital; Strategy Decoder catalogs strategies like this one from video sources so you can evaluate them on TradingView.
