Green Average

GA (Green Average) is used as a bias and context tool. The indicator is not an entry signal by itself,
but answers the question: Should I even be looking for longs or shorts right now?
1. What the indicator shows
• BP (green line): buying pressure – how much of the upward movement is driven by green
candles.
• SP (red line): selling pressure – how much of the downward movement is driven by red candles.
• GA % (box): proportion of candles that are green (frequency / flow).
2. Quick market read (3 seconds)
• BP above SP → bullish bias
• SP above BP → bearish bias
• Lines close together → chop / uncertain market
• Both lines spiking simultaneously → high energy / volatility
3. Core rules
• Bias first, entry second: trade only in the direction of dominant pressure.
• Crossovers indicate regime shifts, not automatic entries.
• GA % is context, not a buy/sell signal.
4. Entry models
A) Trend continuation
BP > SP with clear separation. Wait for a pullback (VWAP, support, MA) and enter on trend
resumption.
B) Regime shift after crossover
After a BP/SP crossover, wait for price confirmation (15m swing break or VWAP reclaim).
C) Mean reversion (range)
Only when both lines are low and cross frequently. Small targets, defensive sizing.
5. Common mistakes
• Taking every crossover as a trade
• Oversizing when lines are glued together
• Assuming high GA % guarantees upside
6. Day types
• Trend day: BP dominates, GA % often above 52–55.
• Chop day: BP ≈ SP, GA % around 50.
• Distribution: GA % high but SP takes control.
7. Default settings (ETH 5m)
• Window N = 24 (≈ 2 hours)
• BP/SP smoothing = 3
• GA used together with VWAP and price structure
