Inputs for Price Confirmation
check box = Checked means enabled (default), uncheck to turn-off full feature
Period = Keep default value. Length on SMA for price confirmation.
Green color selector +ve = Bullish color and transparency selector
Red color selector -ve = Bearish color and transparency selector
=============================================================
Description of Price Confirmation behavior
=============================================================
In addition to the existing RS behavior, it is now possible to superimpose price-action behavior on the RS line.
As per existing RS, RS above zero indicates outperformance/strength over the selected benchmark and RS below zero indicates underperformance/weakness over the selected benchmark for the selected period.
Now, added a simple logic for price-action (check code for details)
If one uses price-action with RS, it is possible better manage the trade, time the entry and book partial profits or exit.
Price action is indicated by bubbles over the RS line. Green bubbles = Bullish Price Action. Red bubbles = Bearish Price Action.
When
RS is above zero and we have Green bubbles ==> Bullish trend in both price action and RS
RS is below zero and we have Red bubbles ==> Bearish trend in both price action and RS
RS is above zero and we have Red bubbles ==> Caution on the Bullish RS, ripe for profit booking, full exit or just caution.
RS is below zero and we have Green bubbles ==> Price indicating bullishness, RS yet to turn positive. Ripe for tracking position, partial entry, promotion in watchlist etc.
