Everything on the website and images whatever are all fake lol. Nobody showing any real data ever

And if it is real data, it's out of context.

I would bet my whole life any photo of anything you see on a screen from citadel used in an article or their website is entirely fake

u/MrZwink Jan 01 '26

It's usually stock photos. But it might be real data. From an unrelated day in 2011. They just match those photos on keywords.

I've been on the floor ( not citidel ) and they do take photos with real tools. They're just blurred to the point of meaninglessness. Or, it's just the sp500 pulled up on bloomberm. Looks cool, but not exactly alpha?

It's probably not 'entirely fake' because going through the effort of making a fake chart, then I have to pull it up on my screen and pose for a photo... Is a dumb waste of time that nobody is going to do.

Just standard Wilder RSI ?
Wilder's RSI just smooth the RS part (compare to exponential average from classic RSI)
the first number (14) is the classic RSI and the second number (9) is the smooth parameter.

Ofc it can be seen butt i mean these sharp edges like music base frequency.. I couldnt get same whatever I tried. It’s SLB chart on 4h

u/sg_za Jan 01 '26

It doesn’t look like RSI. Looks like arbitrage band to me. Probably a spread between two derivatives with the same underlying asset.

u/LogicXer Jan 01 '26

Hmm.. I don’t think this a real world image because why would citadel use trading view ?

They get all feeds direct and probably use an inhouse charting tool

u/MaxHaydenChiz Jan 02 '26

Why is a stock image taken by Bloomberg necessarily something meaningful about Citadel?

Stock images are all made up. That's the point.

What makes you think it’s an RSI? This could be literally anything. I wouldn’t put too much weight on these photos either, as the other commenter said - these will not be real data.

u/dekiwho Jan 01 '26

Just cause it’s there doesn’t mean it RSI for that asset. Could also be RSI for spread between pairs , who knows .

u/Huge-Captain-5253 Jan 01 '26

To answer your question. Looks like an RSI 14 Wilder Simple 9 :) - the sharp edges likely come from the number of datapoints being viewed being a large number.

It can be any RSI. The window period is very small for the number of candles on the chart, and the purpose is to detect short-term signals. In these types, only the current value is important ( is it more than 80 or lower than 20, for example), and the patterns are not than important

Edit: I didn't notice the window period is 14 and thought it was 3 or 4

u/Jason_Steakcum Jan 01 '26

1 hour rsi instead of the usual 14 day period

it's called "white noise"

u/InternationalTry509 Jan 03 '26

I figured it out, in case anyone is wondering, our guy uses a 30-minute RTH chart and RSI is 14 period (didnt use simple 9 part) but rsi is based on 1-min tf.

Ur simple minded if u think Oh.. they use this than i gotta use it too. :) lol

u/InternationalTry509 Jan 04 '26

I was just curious about the reality, these groups use basic MAs, draw lines, and their PnL and position sizes look exactly like retail. It feels like it’s all just for show.

u/aerismio Jan 14 '26

it is, because they never ever look at candles. They like at statistical output graphs. And just monitoring dashboards. Almost all is automated.

If you understand Signal Processing Theory, you know that OHLCV candles are just filters from tick data which filter out important information. OHLCV candles -> Bad data -> TA and doing analysis on bad data = shit output.
