clean way to see multi-timeframe rsi without three extra panels

[silvercloud]

i like checking rsi on the 4h and daily while trading the 1h, but stacking three rsi panels eats half my screen and i lose the price chart. is there a tidy way to read higher-timeframe rsi without the clutter, or a sensible alternative approach entirely?

there are mtf rsi indicators that show higher-timeframe values in a single panel,usually as a small table or coloured line. that solves the screen space. but ask yourself first what decision the higher-tf rsi actually changes. if its just 'dont buy when daily rsi is extreme', a single number in the corner is enough, you dont need three live panels.

a compact mtf table works well. i keep one tiny panel showing 1h, 4h and daily rsi as numbers. takes a sliver of space and gives the cross-timeframe context without burying the candles. cleaner than three full oscillator windows.

multi-timeframe rsi is multi-timeframe overthinking. one rsi already lags, now you want three lagging readings to argue with each other across timeframes. the answer to clutter isnt a tidier indicator, its fewer indicators.

the troll has a point i eventually agreed with. i dropped mtf rsi entirely and just check the higher-timeframe trend visually before trading the lower one. the rsi numbers were rarely changing a decision the chart hadnt already told me. but if you do want it, the single compact panel is the clean answer to your literal question.

whats a sennsible daily rsi level to just avoid longs above, is the classic 70 still the number people use?

[derekwhite]

70 and 30 are the textbook levels but in a strong trend rsi can sit above 70 for ages while price keeps rising, so dont treat it as an automatic reversal. use it as context, not a trigger: high daily rsi means be more selective with new longs, not 'short here'. the level is a caution light, not a stop sign.
