Do you consider candle's wicks on the chart when you draw the line of divergence with RSI?

[QUOTE="Enivid, post: 179840, member: 1"] By default (as many other indicators), RSI is calculated using candles' Close prices. But it can be set to calculate using any other price. For example, here how it can be changed in MetaTrader 4: [ATTACH type="full"]16035[/ATTACH] Of course, if you set it to calculate on Close, and you want to look for divergences with the actual price chart, it is only logical to compare it to candles' Close prices. I would even suggest switching to a plain Line chart (plotted using Close) to seek for divergences. On the other hand, Close by itself has little weight in real trading (unless it is a daily close in stocks or weekly close in FX). After all, it is just a pretty random point in time and thus price. So, when drawing support and resistance lines I rely more heavily on wicks (High/Low) than on Close. [/QUOTE]
