Bar Analyzer Autostrategy¶
v.3.2.0.0 Built on Strategy Core
Overview¶
Trades the rejection of a big bar: a long lower wick on a big selling bar, confirmed by buyers in the delta and an oversold RSI, is bought; the mirror is sold. The signal is the Bar Analyzer indicator's.
How it trades¶
- A bar bigger than Bar height (or the automatic threshold) with a rejecting wick of at least Min wick % of its body and the body at the far end.
- On the next bar: the delta (session or bar) agrees and the RSI is at or below RSI down for a long, at or above RSI up for a short.
- The signal is read on the last closed bar (Signal bar offset 0).
Parameters¶
| Parameter | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Signal bar offset (bars) | 0 | Which bar the indicator's signal is read on: 0 = the last closed bar; 2 = the one two bars before it. |
| Custom bar height | On | On: the pattern bar must be taller than Bar height. Off: taller than the average of the bars between the mean and the largest in the loaded history - the indicator works it out. |
| Bar height (ticks) | 60 | With Custom bar height on: the smallest high-low range, in ticks, a pattern bar may have. |
| Min wick (% of body) | 40 | The rejecting wick - the lower one for a long, the upper one for a short - must be at least this share of the body. |
| Min body (% of range) | 25 | The body must be at least this share of the bar's high-low range. |
| RSI up (short at or above) | 60 | A short needs the RSI at or above this on the signal bar. |
| RSI down (long at or below) | 40 | A long needs the RSI at or below this on the signal bar. |
| Strict color | Off | On: a long needs a bearish pattern bar and a short a bullish one - the bar against the move -. Off: either colour; the rejecting wick and the body are measured the same way. |
| Delta | Bar delta | Session cumulative: the session's cumulative delta above zero for a long, below for a short. Bar delta: the signal bar's own delta. Off: no delta condition. |
| RSI period | 14 | The RSI period. |
| RSI smooth | 3 | The RSI smoothing. |
| Min size (ATR) | 0 | The pattern bar must also be at least this many ATRs tall - a size that follows the market's pace. 0 = off. |
| ATR period | 14 | The ATR period for Min size (ATR). |
| Order flow source | Bars | Where the delta comes from. Bars: estimated from each bar by where it closed in its range - fast backtests. Ticks: the real delta of trades at the bid and ask on the 1-tick series - exact, much slower. |
| Tick delta type | Bid ask | With Order flow source Ticks. BidAsk: a trade at the ask is buying, at the bid selling. UpDownTick: a trade above the previous price is buying, below it selling. |
