Message at End of evaluation

Signals up to

Enter the date by which the analysis will be carried out.

If nothing is entered, the current date is used, the date always "moves" with it, so to speak.

Signal period

Here you can enter the length of the period over which signals are to be calculated (in trading days).

The default setting here is the period of the time axis displayed in the open chart.

Tolerance

Use the tolerance to define the percentage value from which a line is considered to be broken.

The default setting here is 2 %.

Period

This value determines the width (period) of the formations under consideration (in trading days).

The default setting is 200 courses, which corresponds to approximately one year. For long-term analyses, you should enter a larger value.

Course correction

Activate this checkbox to filter out large swings (more than 5% in one day).

If you deactivate this checkbox, such deflections could destroy or distort the formations due to misinterpretations. Since such misinterpretations are also taken into account in later formations, all formations are falsified.

Weights

These fields indicate the weighting of the individual formations in relation to each other. This is a percentage that indicates how the respective individual signal is included in the overall rating.

By default, the head and shoulders formation has the highest weighting, while the triangle and rectangle contribute equally to the overall result.
