HOW-TO: A complete workflow for the RSI cyclic smoothed ProS&P 500 IndexTVC:SPXStockMarketCyclesThe script description explains what the cRSI Pro is and which features it brings. This HOW-TO covers what the description leaves open: the daily workflow. In other words, how to read the chart, how to tune the one setting that matters, and how to let the screener and the alert engine watch the market so you do not have to. Reading the chart All decisions happen at the two adaptive bands, and the year and a half above contains the full repertoire. The numbered marks on the chart correspond to the points below: (1) April 2025 panic low: the signal line stretched far below the falling lower band (Bear Exhaustion in screener terms), turned up (Bear Fatigue), and crossed back inside the channel (Bear Exit). That cross is the buy signal, and it appeared while the news flow was at its darkest. Note what is missing here: no divergence. At panic lows the depth of the exhaustion below the band substitutes; divergence is the strongest confirmation, not a mandatory one. (2) Autumn 2025 divergence: through September and October price pushed to higher highs while the indicator printed three successively lower highs along the upper band. Three warnings in a row, resolved by the November correction. (3) February 2026 divergence: price set a marginal new high at 6,978 against 6,890 in December, and the indicator answered with a clearly lower high. The February-March correction followed. A divergence on a smooth line is visible at a glance; on a jagged one it drowns. (4) March 2026 correction low: the same sequence as (1), exhaustion below the band near the close at 6,343 on March 30, then the cross back inside during the first April sessions, followed by a rally of roughly twenty percent in two months. (5) June 2026 top: the mirror image. The line turned down above the upper band (Bull Fatigue) and crossed back inside (Bull Exit) around June 3. The index gave back about 340 points within a week. (6) June pullback buy: one week after the exit at (5), the line had already fallen through the lower band at the June 10 low near 7,267, and crossed back inside within days. Price recovered 287 points in the following three sessions. A sell sequence and a buy sequence, days apart on the same swing: the bands adapt fast enough to trade both sides of it. And the right side of the chart today: the line sits just above the lower band with the score at 0. No state, no trade; the next decision forms if and when the band is actually reached. Patience between band events is a position too. The events between the numbers The chart shows more band touches than the six marks, and they stay visible on purpose. The most important of them share one pattern: the first condition of the sequence, the line pushing out beyond a band, is usually a continuation statement, not a reversal. In February 2026 the line pushed below the lower band weeks before the final low, and the decline continued; in late April 2026 it pushed above the upper band and opened the two-month run to the June high. The classic RSI teaches the opposite reflex, "oversold means buy, overbought means sell", and would have been wrong both times. The cRSI sequence separates "stretched and running" from "turned and crossed back inside", and only the second is a signal. The remaining touches are the honest residue: a few sell-side crosses during the 2025 uptrend that produced shallow dips at best. A single band event against a strong trend is the weakest signal this indicator produces, which is exactly why the workflow waits for the second, divergence-backed confirmation after strong moves. One window, three indicators Chart 2 covers the same period and stacks three panes: a standard 14-period RSI with its fixed 70/30 levels, the cRSI Pro with the default Cycle Length of 20, and the cRSI Pro tuned to the dominant cycle which the spectrum scanner reads at 180 bars Now revisit the weak stretch from the previous paragraph, the 2025 uptrend, in all three panes. The top pane shows how little the classic RSI had to say there: it drifted through its upper region for five months, tagged the 70 line a few times without follow-through, and dropped to mid-range on every routine dip. Those are readings that describe noise. The middle pane, the default setting this guide runs, condensed the same months to a few decisive band exits, and their shallow outcomes are the honest residue discussed above. The bottom pane is the long wave, and it reduces the entire window to three statements. It sat in exhaustion territory below its lower band at the April 2025 crash, it touched the lower band again at the March 2026 low, and it arced above its upper band at the June 2026 top before rolling back inside, which is the long wave's sell signal standing on the chart right now. During the whole 2025 advance it climbed steadily beneath its upper band: at this length the question of selling early never even came up. The trade-off is equally clear: a 180-bar wave produces a handful of decisions per year, arriving slowly. In practice, the two panes answer different questions. The default answers "is a swing turning here", the tuned long wave answers "which half of the big cycle am I in", and holding both apart is what the scanner's cycle table is for. When the dominant cycle is unknown, keep the default. Screening Add the cRSI Pro score column to your TradingView screener and filter for the exit states: +3 and +4 mark a sell trigger at the upper band, -3 and -4 a buy trigger at the lower band. The screener then returns only the symbols standing at a band cross right now, which turns a hundred-chart watchlist into a two-minute daily check. Alerting Every plotted value is available in the alert dialog. Create one alert per monitored symbol on the signal line leaving the channel between the two bands; from that moment the symbol is in the zone where reversals begin, and that is the time to open the chart.
