-- IQOW McGinley Dynamic RSI v1.0.1
--
-- The McGinley Dynamic is a moving average that adjusts its speed to how
-- far price is from it, so it tracks price with less lag and fewer whipsaws.
-- A close crossing it, with RSI on the same side of 50, marks a possible turn.
-- McGinley Dynamic uses the same formula as the official IQ Option indicator.
--
-- RSI follows IQ Option's built-in RSI: closing prices, with the average gain
-- and the average loss smoothed by an exponential average (alpha 2 / (period +
-- 1)). Version 1.0.1 (9 October 2026) changed this from Wilder smoothing; the
-- inputs, periods and levels are unchanged.
--
-- HIGHER: the close crosses above McGinley Dynamic(14) and RSI(14) is above 50.
-- LOWER:  the close crosses below McGinley Dynamic(14) and RSI(14) is below 50.
--
-- Markers use the previous completed candle: they appear after the next candle
-- opens and are shifted back one bar onto the candle that qualified.
-- Educational chart tool only. It does not place trades, choose an expiry,
-- predict outcomes, or guarantee results. Test on a Practice balance first.
