The Easiest Way to Add the RSI Indicator to Your MetaTrader 5 EA

Adding the RSI (or Relative Strength Indicator) to your MT5 Expert Advisor can be a great way to give your EA insight into market conditions. The RSI is one of the world's most popular technical indicators, and it is used by many traders to identify overbought and oversold conditions.

However, actually GETTING the value of the RSI from MetaTrader 5 in a format your EA can use is…non-intuitive.

In this article, I’ll show you the easiest way to get it and add it to the rest of your trading bot.
