Arbitrary Price Point Probability (APPP)

Apr 27, 2023

The "Arbitrary Price Point Probability" indicator is designed to calculate the probability of a given price point occurring within a certain range of prices. The indicator uses statistical analysis to determine the likelihood of a specific price point appearing based on the market data.

The indicator works by taking the input price, which is the price point for which the probability is being calculated. The indicator then calculates the mean and standard deviation of the prices over a certain period specified by the user. The length of the period for calculating the mean and standard deviation is also specified by the user.

Once the mean and standard deviation have been calculated, the indicator uses them to calculate the probability of the input price point occurring within the range of prices over the specified period. The indicator does this by calculating the z-score, which is the number of standard deviations between the input price point and the mean price. The z-score is then used to calculate the probability using a t-distribution probability density function.

The t-distribution probability density function used by the indicator is a mathematical function that describes the likelihood of obtaining a particular value from a t-distribution. A t-distribution is a statistical distribution used when the sample size is small, and the population standard deviation is unknown.

The indicator also uses a binary search algorithm to find the t-value for a given confidence level. The t-value is the number of standard deviations from the mean at which the confidence interval is set. The confidence level is set by the user, and the default value is 99%.

Overall, the "Arbitrary Price Point Probability" indicator is a useful tool for traders who want to determine the probability of a particular price point occurring within a certain range of prices. The indicator can be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to make more informed trading decisions.

Using the APPP Indicator

Setting the Arbitrary Price: The APPP indicator requires you to input the desired price level (arb_price) for which you want to determine the probability. This flexibility allows you to analyze the likelihood of reaching various price points, providing insights into potential market movements.

Configuring the Mean and Standard Deviation Lengths: The APPP indicator uses exponential moving averages (EMAs) to calculate the mean and standard deviation of the price data. You can customize the mean (mean_length) and standard deviation (stdev_length) lengths to adjust the sensitivity of the indicator, tailoring it to your specific trading style and timeframe.

Interpreting the Probability: Once you've set your desired price level and configured the mean and standard deviation lengths, the APPP indicator will display the calculated probability as a label on your chart. This probability represents the likelihood of the given price level being reached. A higher probability value indicates a higher chance of the price reaching that level, while a lower probability suggests a lower likelihood.

Benefits of the APPP Indicator

Informed Trading Decisions: By providing you with the probability of a specific price point being reached, the APPP indicator empowers you to make more informed trading decisions. Understanding the likelihood of certain price movements can help you better manage your trades, potentially improving your overall trading performance.

Flexibility and Customization: The APPP indicator offers a high level of flexibility and customization, allowing you to analyze various price levels and adjust the sensitivity of the calculations to suit your trading style and timeframe. This adaptability makes it a versatile tool that can be applied to various trading strategies.

Complementary to Other Technical Analysis Tools: While the APPP indicator can provide valuable insights on its own, it can be even more powerful when used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools. By combining the APPP indicator with other indicators, chart patterns, or price action analysis, you can further enhance your trading strategy and increase the accuracy of your trades.

To get the most out of the Arbitrary Price Point Probability indicator, make sure to experiment with different price levels and settings, monitor the market conditions, and combine the APPP with other technical analysis tools. By doing so, you can develop a robust trading strategy that leverages the valuable insights provided by this powerful indicator. Happy trading!
