XBT % Contango 

Bitcoin / US Dollar IndexBitMEX

Description

Similar to my other indicators, but measures XBTUSD Contango in terms of percent.

Also, built it so you could change the values that give the red and green signals. Default values are 0% or less (backwardation) indicates green. However, i found that a 0.5% setting worked will finding local bottoms for current contract of XBTH20 (March 2020). The upper value default is at 5%, and signals red when the next contract reaches over 5%.

My assumption is as BTC increases in value over time, measuring contango in terms of percent will be a better measure of the XBT futures curve.
