Z-Score Adaptive Connors RSI

Z-Score Adaptive Connors RSI blends the classic three-component Connors RSI (RSI, Up/Down streak RSI, and Percentile Rank of 1-bar ROC) with a dynamic z-score filter that distinguishes trending vs. mean-reverting market regimes.
When the indicator detects an extreme deviation (|z-score| > threshold), it switches to “trending” mode and tightens entry thresholds for capturing momentum. When markets are in a more neutral regime, it reverts to wider thresholds, hunting for overbought/oversold reversals.

Entry Thresholds
When the indicator detects an extreme deviation (|z-score| > threshold), it switches to “trending” mode and tightens entry thresholds for capturing momentum. When markets are in a more neutral regime, it reverts to wider thresholds, hunting for overbought/oversold reversals.
Key Features
- Connors RSI Core: Combines price momentum, streak measurements, and velocity for a robust baseline oscillator.
- Z-Score Regime Filter: Computes the z-score of the Connors RSI over a lookback window to adapt your trading style to trending vs. reverting environments.
- Dynamic Thresholds: Separate user-configurable thresholds for trending (“tight” entries) and mean-reverting (“wide” entries) scenarios.
