Roger Altman introduced RMI indicators in February of 1993. It was introduced in a magazine called “Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities.” Improving the data that the classic RSI indicator gives – if the price reaches the area of over sale/overbuy – is the main usage of this indicator.
RMI indicator in forex (The Relative Momentum Index (RMI)) represents the variation of the Relative Strength Index (RSI). RMI measures trend based on gains and draw over a length of time.

How to read the RMI indicator? When the red line turns to the blue line, it is the selling signal, and when the blue line turns to the red, it is a buying signal.
The Relative Momentum Index formula
The Relative Momentum Index calculation is based on the ratio of the average upward changes to the average downward changes over a given period of bars. Relative Momentum Index calculation is set like that each change is calculated for the given number of bars. It could be said that RSI is the RMI which uses a momentum period of 1 to receive individual changes.
The formula for calculating this indicator goes as follows: RMI= 100x N/(H+B), where N is the number of days; H is the sum of fluctuations of positive closing prices for the period between “today” and “N days ago” and the B is the sum of fluctuations of negative closing prices for the period between “today” and “N days ago.”
As this RMI indicator is a classical oscillator of the technical analysis, it makes it possible for a user to recognize certain possibilities that can be used in trading. When, in the case of a downtrend, the indicator surpasses 70%, the signal for the possibility of further downtrend is being sent. The RMI indicator will signal the overselling, and when it reaches its high, the chance of declining appears.
In the case of an uptrend, when the indicator surpasses 30%, the signal of reaching the end of the price correcting, so the uptrend can start. In this case, the thing to do is buying the assets.
There is an option for the RMI indicator to form the price patterns in the form of graphs that the traders can consider.
This indicator can also enable the user to watch the signals of convergence/divergence and compare it with the price movement. Before forming a decision, it is important to watch the signals.
My usage:
I use this indicator very often. I use m30 and H4 timeframe at most. Red color describes the bearish or bullish trend, blue overbought or oversold. When I define the H4 or daily chart trend, make an analysis, and then go to the M30 chart, I wait that the blue color goes into the red and then I buy or sell.
Example :
The trend is bullish. You want to buy it after a pullback. You wait for that price to touch Pivot point or support, and you do not buy on support. You wait for that blue RMI indicator line to go in red and then buy.
