Chart Advanced Interface




Control Layout

The chart portion (left-hand side) of the Chart Advanced contains a black line representing the stock's actual one-second price, a colored line showing data generated by the chart approximation algorithm, and colored markers indicating buy / sell opportunities (green for buy, red for sell)

The signal parameter dashboard (right-hand side) displays the available levels of aggression (2-9), as well as the current levels of Smoothing, Detection, and Filtering.

The numbers next to the colored aggression-level buttons correspond to 1) the number of trades generated by this aggression, 2) the total profit if one were to trade on each signal with 1000 shares, and 3) the ratio of trades that resulted in profit to trades that resulted in loss. For example, the currently selected aggression, level 8, shows that the signal generated 58 trades today, which could have resulted in $4150 profit, and that there were 25 trades that made money and 32 that lost money.

Additionally, the background color of the aggression-level text (all pink in the chart shown here) indicates the position currently suggested by the indicator (green for long, red for short).




User Interaction

For the chart portion of the Chart Advanced, the controls are as follows: The colored buttons in the parameter portion of the Chart Advanced may be used to select your desired aggression. The most aggressive (more trades) setting is 2, and the least aggressive setting is 9. This is a multi-level process with less-aggressive models inheriting their input data from the output of more-aggressive algorithms. This allows the less-aggressive models to be able to identify the larger swings, but increases the delay between the live and processed data. Changing the selected aggression level button will modify both the colored line and the trend-reversal indicators drawn in the chart.

The sliders allow for more detailed tuning of the trend-reversal detection algorithm. Moving the slider left results in a lower setting, moving it right increases the setting. Adjusting the sliders will also result in the colored line and trend-reversal indicators being recalculated and re-drawn in the chart

Smoothing: Sets the filter coefficient to apply more or less smoothing to the data. The greater the level of smoothing, the fewer signals produced. However, more smoothing results in more delay between the data and its signal line.

Detection: Sets the sensitivity of the trend reversal detection algorithm. Less or lower detection sensitivity results in quicker detection for signals, but will also generate more signals in a given period.

Filter: Sets the number of stages of filtering applied during analysis. The setting has minimal effect when Smoothing is not set at a low level.
