StochRSI is basically a combination of two oscillators, Stochastic and RSI. Created by famous US traders and technical indicator developers Stanley Kroll and Tushar Chande.

How to use Stochastic RSI
Overbought and oversold zones
For the first type signal provided by this indicator, the two overbought and oversold zones on the StochRSI chart are key.
The upper zone above 0.8 is the overbought zone and the lower area below 0.2 is the oversold zone. It is generally considered a signal to open a trade when the indicator turns back from either of those zones into the middle zone, between 0.2 and 0.8.
Divergence point
The second type of StochRSI signal is a divergence. Divergence is when the indicator line and price move in opposite directions. For example, if the price goes up while the indicator goes down or vice versa, it is a divergence.
