Login
Pi is initiated by first logging in to it.
Login with Two Factor Authentication
Two Factor Authentication login process is used to verify the authentication of the valid
user while logging in. Two Factor Authentication process is implemented through 2FA
Question and Answer.
Steps to Implement Two Factor Authentications: (Question and Answer)
Step 1: After installing Pi on system, an icon named Pi will be placed on the desktop. One
has to just double-click on the icon to start the application. After the application starts, a
login window will show up asking for Client Id and Password. When user open his/her
trading account with Zerodha, user gets a Client Id and two passwords (one each for login
and transaction). Enter the Client id, on successful authentication of client id the user will
be able to enter the password. After entering login password, hit Login.

Version: 1.0.0.6
Following is a detailed description of the functions given in the Login window:
Client Id: The user name or login id of the user is to be entered.
Password: The corresponding password for the user name must be entered.
Forgot Password: This can be used when the user forgets his/her password.
Change Password: This option can be used to change the existing password to new one.
Login: The user has to simply click on the ‘Login’ button or press ‘Enter’ on his keyboard,
after entering relevant log in details on his terminal.
Step 2: After entering the password user has to click on Login, user will be directed to the
2FA security questions window. System will provide the random questions to user which
user has answered when he/she is logging in for the first time. User has to answer 2
questions correctly to login successfully into Pi.
Answer the question appeared in 2FA security question window and press OK to login.

Version: 1.0.0.6
Forgot Password
If a user click on forgot password, the below showed window opens and one can give
his/her client ID, E-mail, PAN details and can generate new password to his registered E-
mail ID.
Market Watch Features
All features related to market menu are described below

Version: 1.0.0.6
Market Watch is one of the most commonly accessed features in any trading application. The
user can do following things using a market watch.
 Set up a portfolio of scrips of their choice in the order he/she wants to appear.
 One can view any relevant information pertaining to any scrip/contract by setting up the
columns in the desired sequence. This can be done from the list of available columns.
 The trader can select columns based on his choice.
 The user can call other functions like the Order entry window, SnapQuote (market depth
window), Pending order window, Net position window and Tradebook for the scrip when
one has selected from the market watch. This is done by pressing the key strokes
assigned to that particular function.
 To organize the scrips, drag and drop any rows. The user can sort the scrips in ascending
or descending order by a click on the top of the column, which the user wants to treat as
the parameter to sort the market watch.
 User can call few important features from the market watch by just a right click. Few
features that can be called from market watch include various order placing windows,
Order book, Trade book, scrip properties, SnapQuote, positions and holdings.
 To remove any scrip, right click and select ‘Delete’ or hit Delete Button.
The Market Watch toolbar appears at the top. To add scrip, select a specific instrument
through the given filters and click on ‘Add’ button.
 User can open Intraday chart for any scrip by double clicking on the chart column.
 While logging out of the application, Pi will ask user to save market watch, user can click
on save or user can change the settings by un-checking the saving market watch on exit in
Market Watch tab in User Settings, it’ll automatically save the market watch while exiting
Pi and the same market watch will be opened for him/her for next login time.

Version: 1.0.0.6
Market Watch Toolbar
You can use MarketWatch toolbar to open Order book, Trade book, Admin position, Cash
Position, Stock Holdings, Chart drawings. You can open a chart, save your workspace or
load previously saved workspace. You can also open Alerts window.
Scrip Details

Pi got some pre-defined product tags which include Normal (NRML), Cash and Carry
(CNC), Margin Intraday Square-Off (MIS).
 NRML: For trading FNO for overnight position.
 CNC: For trading Equity in delivery.
 MIS: For trading Equity & FNO in intraday.
At the time of order placement the user can select the appropriate product under which
the order has to be placed. This feature is not only useful from RMS and Compliance point
of view but also from MIS reporting point, it is of great significance.
SnapQuote(Market Depth)
The user can call the SnapQuote window for the selected scrip by pressing F6, by double
clicking on the selected scrip or from the Quick order window in charts. The window gives
the complete shot of the way the scrip is performing in the market on the day as well as
at that particular point of time. The information like open, high, low, previous day close
gives an indication how the scrip fared on that particular day and the top five bid/ask
gives the indication about what kind of liquidity that scrip has in the market and at what
price levels. This information will give better picture about the scrip to the user before
taking position in that particular scrip.

Version: 1.0.0.6
User can also Compact SnapQuote, for this, select Compact SnapQuote from user

repositioned or removed by a left click.
Important Features in Charts
 Day Separator: User can use this feature on charts by selecting Day Separator in
right click menu in charts. This feature will separate all the candles day wise from
starting of the trading day to the end of the day. This feature is available for Candle
and Bar charts only.
 Pivot Points: User can use this feature on charts by selecting Pivot Points in right
click menu in charts. This feature is not available for MCX exchange. Pivot Point is
a price level that is used by traders as a possible indicator of market movement.
A Pivot Point is calculated as an average of significant prices (high, low, close) from
the performance of a market in the prior trading period.
 Data Box: User can use this feature on charts by selecting Data Box in right click
menu in charts. This box will show OHLCV values by moving the mouse over all the
candles and values of Indicators added on charts.Data Box makes it easy for user
to see the OHLCV and indicators values.
 Cross Hair: User can use this feature on charts by selecting Cross Hair in right click
menu in charts. While the crosshair mode is in use, traders can move the crosshair
over any price bar, or any part of a price bar, and the corresponding time and price
values will be readily identifiable. Crosshair mode makes it easy to find a price bar's
high or low, and the time and day that the bar printed.

Version: 1.0.0.6
 Home key: User can use Home key from keyboard to see first 100 candles of the
chart opened.
 End Key: User can use End key from keyboard to see last 100 candles of the chart

Trading through Right Click Menu
You can trade from any chart by right clicking and selecting “Buy Here” or “Sell Here”.
Please note that only Limit and Stop Loss Market Order type is supported.
When you place a Buy order on a chart if price related to cursor position is above the
Close price of last candle then it would select SL-M order type and if it is below it will put a
Limit order type.
Similarly, if you Place a Sell Order on the chart, if price related to cursor position is above
the Close price of last candle then the order type selected would be Limit and if price is
below Close price of last candle the order type selected would be SL-M.
Your order details can be viewed in Order Book (Press F3)
WARNING! When using this feature be SURE to create your trigger line ABOVE or
BELOW the candle and not INSIDE the candle. By placing your trigger line INSIDE a
candle, your order will be triggered even though the candle may not have
penetrated from the reverse side.
Do not attempt to use this feature with price styles other than candlestick or OHLC bars.

Version: 1.0.0.6
Chart types
The various types of Charts available in Pi are:
Bar Chart
This chart type is the most common way to display data for analysis. Open, high, low, and
close prices are shown for the time increment represented by the bar.
Candle Chart
This chart type uses the same price data as regular bar charts, with each candlestick
representing the open, high, low, and close. The thick part, called the real body,
represents the range between opening and closing prices. Long thin lines, shadows and
wicks/tails, represent the range of price movement for the bar.

Version: 1.0.0.6
Candle Volume
As its name implies, Candle Volume charts merge volume into candlesticks. This allows
chartists to analyze both price action and volume with one look at the price chart. It
shows candle ticks are used to see the open and close for each period, as well as the high
and the low.
Equi Volume
Equi Volume is a price plot that incorporates volume into each period. Equi Volume charts
looks similar to candlestick charts, but the candle ticks are replaced with Equi Volume
boxes that can be square or rectangle.

Version: 1.0.0.6
Equi Volume Shadow
Equi volume Shadow measures the relationship between price, volume and the shadow.
Price is measured on the vertical axis and volume is measured on the horizontal axis. Equi
volume combines price and volume in a two-dimensional box. The top line of the box is
the high for the period and the bottom line is the low for the period. The width of the box
represents the volume for the period. The shadow (empty region in the box) is based on
the difference between open and either high or low depending on whether the price
closed lower than the open of higher than the open for that interval bar.
Heikin Ashi
Heiken-Ashi means “average bar” in Japanese. Open, High, Low and Close prices of HA
candle ticks are not actual prices, they are results from averaging values of the previous
bar, which helps eliminate random volatility.

Version: 1.0.0.6
Kagi
This chart type looks like a continuous line that changes directions and switches from thin
to bold. The direction changes when the price changes beyond a predefined amount, and
the line switches between thin and bold if the last change bypassed the last horizontal
line.
Point & Figure
This chart type only plots price movements, without taking time into consideration. A
column of X’s is plotted as the price rises—and O’s as the price drops.

Version: 1.0.0.6
Renko
This chart type only plots price movements, without taking time or volume into
consideration. It is constructed from ticks and looks like bricks stacked in adjacent
columns. A new brick is drawn after the price passes the top or bottom of previously
predefined amount.
Three Line Break
This chart type only plots price movements, without taking time or volume into
consideration. This chart type displays a series of vertical boxes that are based on price
changes.

Version: 1.0.0.6
Technical Indicators
There are 80 popular technical indicators provided with Pi. These technical indicators help
user to analyze the charts.
Adding Technical indicator
The available technical indicators in Pi are as follows:
Simple Moving Average
o The Simple Moving Average is simply an average of values over a specified period
of time. A Moving Average is most often used to average values for a smoother
representation of the underlying price or indicator.
Exponential Moving Average
o An Exponential Moving Average is similar to a Simple Moving Average. An EMA is
calculated by applying a small percentage of the current value to the previous
value. An EMA applies more weight to recent values.
Time Series Moving Average
o A Time Series Moving Average is similar to a Simple Moving Average, except that
values are derived from linear regression forecast values instead of raw values.
Triangular Moving Average
o The Triangular Moving Average is similar to a Simple Moving Average, except that
more weight is given to the price in the middle of the moving average periods.
Variable Moving Average
o A Variable Moving Average is an exponential moving average that adjusts to
volatility.
VIDYA Moving Average
o VIDYA (Volatility Index Dynamic Average), developed by Chande, is a moving
average derived from linear regression R2. As VIDYA is a derivative of linear
regression, it quickly adapts to volatility.
Welles Wilder Smoothing
o Wilder’s Smoothing indicator was developed by Welles Wilder and mentioned in his
book” New Concepts in Technical Trading”. Wilder used the Smoothing indicator as
a component in several of his other indicators including the RSI. Wilder’s Smoothing
indicator can be used in the same capacity as other moving averages. The
smoothing indicator is used as an input in Wilder’s other indicators such as the RSI,
Wilder’s Swing Indicator and Wilder’s Volatility Indicator.
Weighted Moving Average
o A Weighted Moving Average places more weight on recent values and less weight
on older values.

Version: 1.0.0.6
Williams %R
o Williams’ %R measures overbought/oversold levels. The most widely used method
for interpreting Williams’ %R is to buy when the indicator rises above 80 or sell
when the indicator falls below 20.
Williams Accumulation Distribution
o The Accumulation/Distribution indicator shows a relationship of price and volume.
When the indicator is rising, the security is said to be accumulating. Conversely,
when the indicator is falling, the security is said to being distributing. Prices may
reverse when the indicator converges with price.
Volume Oscillator
o The Volume Oscillator shows a spread of two different moving averages of Volume
over a specified period of time. The Volume Oscillator offers a clear view of
whether or not Volume is increasing or decreasing.
Vertical Horizontal Filter
o The Vertical Horizontal Filter (VHF) identifies whether a market is in a trending or
choppy movement phase. The VHF indicator is most commonly used as an
indicator of market volatility. It is also frequently used as a component for other
technical indicators.
Ultimate Oscillator
o The Ultimate Oscillator compares prices with three oscillators, using three different
periods for calculations. The most popular interpretation of the Ultimate Oscillator
is price/indicator divergence.
True Range
o The Average True Range (Wilder) measures market volatility. High ATR values may
signal market bottoms, and low ATR values may signal neutral markets.
TRIX
o TRIX is a momentum oscillator that shows the rate of change of an exponentially
averaged closing price. The most common interpretation of the TRIX oscillator is to
buy when the oscillator rises and sell when the oscillator falls. 3, 8 and 14 period
moving averages are often used to smooth the TRIX oscillator.
Rainbow Oscillator
o The Rainbow Charts indicator is a trend-following indicator. It is based on a two-
period simple moving average. Over that, recursive smoothing is applied to the
original MA (moving average) to create nine additional moving averages, each being
based on the previous MA. Through a process of repetitive smoothing, the result
obtained is a full spectrum of trends, which plotted on a chart with continuous
colors, have the appearance of a rainbow. The Rainbow Oscillator Indicator is, like
the Rainbow Charts, an indicator used to follow trends and its graph is plotted
based on the same calculations made to find the Rainbow Charts. The oscillator is a

Version: 1.0.0.6
derivative from a consensus of the Rainbow Charts trends, defining the highest
high value and lowest low value among those moving averages, and creates an
oscillator and bandwidth lines according to those calculations.
Price Oscillator
o The Price Oscillator shows a spread of two moving averages. The Price Oscillator is
basically a moving average spread. Buying usually occurs when the oscillator rises,
and conversely, selling usually occurs when the oscillator falls
Parabolic SAR
o Parabolic SAR (SAR) is a time and price technical analysis tool primarily used to
identify points of potential stops and reverses. In fact, the SAR in Parabolic SAR
stands for "Stop and Reverse". The indicator's calculations create a parabola which
is located below price during a Bullish trend and above Price during a Bearish
Trend.
Momentum Oscillator
o The momentum indicator calculates change of over a specified length of time as a
ratio. Increasingly high values of the momentum oscillator may indicate that prices
are trending strongly upwards. The momentum oscillator is closely related to
MACD and Price Rate of Change (ROC).
MACD
o The MACD is a moving average oscillator that shows potential overbought/oversold
phases of market fluctuation. The MACD is a calculation of two moving averages of
the underlying price/indicator. Buy/Sell interpretations may be derived from
crossovers (calculated from the SignalPeriods argument), overbought/oversold
levels of the MACD and divergences between MACD and actual price.
Ease of Movement
o The Ease of Movement oscillator shows a unique relationship between price
change and volume. The Ease of Movement oscillator rises when prices are
trending upwards under low volume, and likewise, the Ease of Movement oscillator
falls when prices are trending downwards under low volume.
Directional Movement System
o Directional Movement System (DMS) is composed of 3 indicators:
o Negative directional indicator (DI-): Negative directional indicator (DI-) is component
of average directional index (ADX). If DI- is sloping forward, it is signal that
downtrend is increasing.
o Positive directional indicator (DI+): Positive directional indicator (DI+) is component
of average directional index (ADX). If DI+ is sloping upward, it is signal that uptrend
is increasing.
o Average directional index (ADX): Average Directional Index (ADX) was created by J.
Welles Wilder as indicator of trend strength.

Version: 1.0.0.6
Detrended Price Oscillator
o The Detrend Price Oscillator is used when long-term trends or outliers must be
removed from prices or index indicators. This indicator is often used to supplement
a standard price chart. Other indicators can be plotted over the Detrended Price
Oscillator.
Chande Momentum Oscillator
o The Chande Momentum Oscillator (Chande) is an advanced momentum oscillator
derived from linear regression. Increasingly high values of CMO may indicate that
prices are trending strongly upwards. Conversely, increasingly low values of CMO
may indicate that prices are trending strongly downwards. CMO is related to MACD
and Price Rate of Change (ROC).
Chaikin Volatility
o The Chaikin Volatility Oscillator is a moving average derivative of the
Accumulation/Distribution index. The Chaikin Volatility Oscillator adjusts with
respect to volatility, independent of long-term price action.
Aroon
o The Aroon indicator is used to define if a currency-trading price is following a trend
or sideways and to measure the trend's strength. If the currency's trading price is
going up, the end for this period will be closer, and on the contrary. The Aroon
indicator shows in percents how much time passed between the up (highest) and
down (lowest) close starting from the beginning of a period.
Aroon Oscillator
o The Aroon Oscillator, the positive value shows a coming or an upward trend, and
the negative value indicates a downward trend. When the absolute value of an
oscillator becomes higher, an indication of a trend is also getting stronger.
Linear Regression
o Linear Regression R-Squared
o Linear Regression Forecast
o Linear Regression Slope
o Linear Regression Intercept
o Linear regression is a common statistical method used to forecast values using
least squares fit. The result for Linear Regression has four Field objects: “R-
Squared”, “Forecast”, “Slope” and “Intercept”.
Where R-Squared is the coefficient of determination, Forecast is the linear
regression forecasted value for the next period, Slope is the slope value for the
periods being analyzed and Intercept is the end period’s Y intercept value.
Price Volume Trend
o The Price and Volume Trend index is closely related to the On Balance Volume
index. The Price and Volume Trend index generally precedes actual price

Version: 1.0.0.6
movements. The premise is that well-informed investors are buying when the index
rises and uninformed investors are buying when the index falls.
Performance Index
o The Performance indicator calculates price performance as a normalized value or
percentage. A Performance indicator shows the price of a security as a normalized
value. If the Performance indicator shows 50, then the price of the underlying
security has increased 50% since the start of the Performance indicator
calculations. Conversely, if the indictor shows –50, then the price of the underlying
security has decreased 50% since the start of the Performance indicator
calculations.
Commodity Channel Index
o Commodity Channel Index (CCI) is a versatile indicator that can be used to identify
a new trend or warn of extreme conditions. Lambert originally developed CCI to
identify cyclical turns in commodities, but the indicator can successfully applied to
indices, ETFs, stocks and other securities. In general, CCI measures the current
price level relative to an average price level over a given period of time. CCI is
relatively high when prices are far above their average. CCI is relatively low when
prices are far below their average. In this manner, CCI can be used to identify
overbought and oversold levels.
Chaikin Money Flow
o Developed by Marc Chaikin, Chaikin Money Flow measures the amount of Money
Flow Volume over a specific period. Money Flow Volume forms the basis for the
Accumulation Distribution Line. Instead of a cumulative total of Money Flow
Volume, Chaikin Money Flow simply sums Money Flow Volume for a specific look-
back period, typically 20 or 21 days. The resulting indicator fluctuates above/below
the zero line just like an oscillator. Chartists weigh the balance of buying or selling
pressure with the absolute level of Chaikin Money Flow. Chartists can also look for
crosses above or below the zero line to identify changes on money flow.
Weighted Close
o The Weighted Close indicator is simply an average of each day's price. It gets its
name from the fact that extra weight is given to the closing price. The Median Price
and Typical Price are similar indicators.
Volume ROC
o The Volume Rate of Change indicator shows clearly whether or not volume is
trending in one direction or another. Sharp Volume ROC increases may signal price
breakouts.
Typical Price
o A Typical Price is simply an average of one period’s high, low and close values. A
Typical Price is often used as an alternative way of viewing price action, and also as
a component for calculating other indicators.

Version: 1.0.0.6
Standard Deviation
o Standard Deviation is a common statistical calculation that measures volatility.
Other technical indicators are often calculated using Standard Deviation.Major
highs and lows often accompany extreme volatility. High values of Standard
Deviation indicate that the price or indicator is more volatile than usual.
Price ROC
o The Price ROC shows the difference between the current price and the price one or
more periods in the past. A 12-day Price ROC is most often used as an
overbought/oversold indicator.
Median Price
o A Median Price is simply an average of one period’s high and low values.
A Median Price is often used as an alternative way of viewing price action, and also
as a component for calculating other indicators.
High Minus low
o Returns high price minus low price.
Bollinger Bands
o Bollinger Bands are similar in comparison to moving average envelopes. Bollinger
Bands are calculated using standard deviations instead of shifting bands by a fixed
percentage. Bollinger Bands (as with most bands) can be imposed over an actual
price or another indicator.
When prices rise above the upper band or fall below the lower band, a change in
direction may occur when the price penetrates the band after a small reversal from
the opposite direction.
Fractal Chaos Band
o Fractal Chaos Bands Indicator helps us to identify whether the stock market is
trending or not. When a market is trending, the bands will have a slope and if
market is not trending the bands will flatten out. As the slope of the bands
decreases, it signifies that the market is choppy, insecure and variable. As the
graph becomes more and more abrupt, be it going up or down, the significance is
that the market becomes trendy, or stable. Fractal Chaos Bands Indicator is used
similarly to other bands-indicator (Bollinger bands for instance), offering trading
opportunities when price moves above or under the fractal lines.
High/Low Bands
o High Low Bands consist of triangular moving averages calculated from the
underling price, shifted up and down by a fixed percentage, and include a median
value. When prices rise above the upper band or fall below the lower band, a
change in direction may occur when the price penetrates the band after a small
reversal from the opposite direction.

Version: 1.0.0.6
Moving Average Envelope
o Moving Average Envelopes consist of moving averages calculated from the
underling price, shifted up and down by a fixed percentage. Moving Average
Envelopes (or trading bands) can be imposed over an actual price or another
indicator.
When prices rise above the upper band or fall below the lower band, a change in
direction may occur when the price penetrates the band after a small reversal from
the opposite direction.
Swing Index
o The Swing Index (Wilder) is a popular indicator that shows comparative price
strength within a single security by comparing the current open, high, low and close
prices with previous prices. The Swing Index is a component of the Accumulative
Swing Index.
Accumulative Swing Index
o The Accumulative Swing Index (Wilder) is a cumulative total of the Swing Index. The
Accumulative Swing Index may be analyzed using technical indicators, line studies,
and chart patterns, as an alternative view of price action.
Comparative RSI
o The Comparative Relative Strength index divides one price field by another price
field. The base security is outperforming the other security when the Comparative
RSI is trending upwards.
Mass Index
o The Mass Index identifies price changes by indexing the narrowing and widening
change between high and low prices. According to the inventor of the Mass Index,
reversals may occur when a 25-period Mass Index rises above 27 or falls below
26.5.
Money Flow Index
o The Money Flow Index measures money flow of a security, using volume and price
for calculations. Market bottom below 20 and top above 80. Divergence of price
and Money Flow Index are also used.
Negative Volume Index
o The Negative Volume Index shows focus on periods when volume decreases from
the previous period. The interpretation of the Negative Volume Index is that well-
informed investors are buying when the index falls and uninformed investors are
buying when the index rises.
On Balance Volume
o The On Balance Volume indicator shows a relationship of price and volume as a
momentum index. On Balance Volume index generally precedes actual price

Version: 1.0.0.6
movements. The premise is that well-informed investors are buying when the index
rises and uninformed investors are buying when the index falls.
Positive Volume Index
o The Positive Volume Index shows focus on periods when volume increases from
the previous period. The interpretation of the Positive Volume Index is that many
investors are buying when the index rises, and selling when the index falls.
Relative Strength Index
o The RSI (Wilder) is a popular indicator that shows comparative price strength within
a single security. 9, 14 and 25 period RSI calculations are most popular. The most
widely used method for interpreting the RSI is price/RSI divergence,
support/resistance levels and RSI chart formations.
Trade Volume Index
o The Trade Volume index shows whether a security is being accumulated or
distribute (similar to the Accumulation/Distribution index). When the indicator is
rising, the security is said to be accumulating. Conversely, when the indicator is
falling, the security is said to being distributing. Prices may reverse when the
indicator converges with price.
Stochastic Oscillator
o The Stochastic Oscillator is a popular indicator that shows where a security’s price
has closed in proportion to its closing price range over a specified period of time.
The Stochastic Oscillator has two components: %K and %D. %K is most often
displayed as a solid line and %D is often shown as a dotted line. The most widely
used method for interpreting the Stochastic Oscillator is to buy when either
component rises above 80 or sell when either component falls below 20. Another
way to interpret the Stochastic Oscillator is to buy when %K rises above %D, and
conversely, sell when %K falls below %D.
Stochastic Momentum Index
o Commonly abbreviated to SMI, Stochastic Momentum Index is advancement in the
Stochastic Oscillator. Stochastic Oscillator is primarily used to calculate the distance
between the Current Close and Recent High/Low Range for n-period. Stochastic
Momentum Index shows the distance of Current Close relative to the center of
High/Low Range. SMI is reasonably less unpredictable than Stochastic Oscillator
over a single period. SMI normally ranges in between +100 and -100. Stochastic
Momentum Oscillator is used in conjunction with the TusharChande Momentum
Oscillator.
Fractal Chaos Oscillator
o When looking at price movement charts, if the time scale is not given, sometimes
it’s very hard to determine whether the bars in the chart are referring to hours,
days or months. The chart always looks exactly the same regardless of its time
resolution, with the only difference being the size. To examine these patterns the

Version: 1.0.0.6
Fractal Chaos Oscillator can be used to determine what is happening in the current
level of resolution. Fractal Chaos Oscillator is a great indicator to use in intra-day
trading.
Prime Number Oscillator
o This indicator finds the nearest prime number from either the top or bottom of the
series, and plots the difference between that prime number and the series itself.
This indicator can be used to spot market turning points. When the oscillator
remains at the same high point for two consecutive periods in the positive range,
consider selling. When the oscillator remains at a low point for two consecutive
periods in the negative range, consider buying.
Prime Number Bands
o This indicator finds the nearest prime number for the high and low, and plots the
two series as bands. This indicator can be used to spot market-trading ranges.
Historical Volatility
o “Volatility” is an important term used in the stock markets and by many market
professionals. Many investors use this term to manage their risk. “Volatility”, in
simpler terms, means the fluctuation in a stock’s or any other underlying’s price,
over a specific period of time. Volatility is divided in to two categories. The first one
is “Historical volatility” and the other one is “Implied volatility”. “Historical volatility”
is defined as the historical fluctuation in a particular underlying’s price, whereas
“Implied volatility” is the estimation of volatility in an asset’s price. Generally,
“Implied volatility” finds extensive use in “Options”.
Understanding “Historical volatility” is important for many investors as well as
traders. For investors, this term is important, because it helps in estimating or
calculating their risk. Traders, generally use “Historical volatility” to know how
volatile a stock or an index will be in the future.
MACD Histogram
o MACD Histogram measures the distance between MACD and its signal line (the 9-
day EMA of MACD). Like MACD, the MACD-Histogram is also an oscillator that
fluctuates above and below the zero line. It anticipates signal line crossovers in
MACD. Because MACD uses moving averages and moving averages lag price, signal
line crossovers can come late and affect the reward-to-risk ratio of a trade. Bullish
or bearish divergences in the MACD-Histogram can alert chartists to an imminent
signal line crossover in MACD.
Elder Ray Bull Power
o Elder Ray Bull Power uses a 13-day exponential moving average (EMA) to indicate
the consensus market value.
Elder Ray Bear Power
o Bear Power is derived by subtracting the 13-day EMA from the day’s low. Where a
currency downtrend is sustained to the point that minimum prices move below the

Version: 1.0.0.6
EMA the Bear Power histogram will be less than zero. As price minimums
accelerate to lower levels (below the EMA) during the falling trend histogram bars
will increase in height below the zero line showing increased selling strength during
the period.
Elder Force Index
o Elder's Force Index (EFI) measures the power behind a price movement using price
and volume. The indicator can also be used to identify potential reversals and price
corrections. The EFI is an oscillator that fluctuates between positive and negative
values, above and below a Zero line.
Elder thermometer
o The Market Thermometer translates market activity into a "hot" and "cold"
histogram for better visualization.
Ehler Fisher Transform
o It was designed to identify major price reversals with its rapid response time and
sharp, clear turning points. The assumption is that prices do not have a Gaussian
probability density function (bell-shaped curve movement), but by normalizing
price and applying the Fisher Transform you could create a nearly Gaussian curve.
Keltner Channel
o The Keltner Channel is a moving average band indicator whose upper and lower
bands adapt to changes in volatility by using the average true range. The Keltner
Channel is used to signal price breakouts, show trend, and give overbought and
oversold readings.
Market Facilitation Index
o Market Facilitation Index Technical Indicator (MFI) is the indicator which shows the
change of price for one tick. Absolute values of the indicator do not mean anything
as they are, only indicator changes have sense.
Schaff Trend Cycle
o The Schaff Trend Cycle Indicator is the product of combining Slow Stochastics and
the Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD). The MACD has a reputation
to be a trend indicator, yet it has an equal reputation to be lagging due to its slow
responsive signal line. The improved signal line gives the STC its relevance as an
early warning sign to detect currency trends.
QStick
o A technical indicator developed by Tushar Chande to numerically identify trends in
candlestick charting. It is calculated by taking an 'n' period moving average of the
difference between the open and closing prices. If Qstick value is greater than zero
means that the majority of the last 'n' days have been up, indicating that buying
pressure has been increasing.

Version: 1.0.0.6
STARC
o STARC bands (Stoller Average Range Channels) are three bands forming a channel
around simple moving average.
The indicator is similar to Bollinger Bands; STARC bands are narrowing on the flat
markets and widening on the volatile markets. However, STARC bands do not
measure the highness and lowness of the price and do not take into account
standard deviation as Bollinger Bands. It is calculated by means of Average True
Range (ATR) providing more detailed information on market volatility. Using STARC
bands period 10 is an optimum parameter for ATR.
This indicator has two functions. First, it is used as a signal which recommends
opening buy or sell deals when the price crosses the boarders of STARC bands. In
this case one should wait till the price consolidates above or under the STARC
bands and stop loss should be placed after the median line.
Second, STARC indicator can be used as an indicator whether the price is oversold
or overbought. In order to do it index K should be moved from 3 to 1.33. In this
case test of the price of STARC bands means the price has reached extreme values;
the probability of price swing is very high. This signal should be accompanied by
signals of oscillators pointing out oversol/overbought areas (for example, RSI
indicator).
Center of Gravity
o The Center of Gravity is an oscillator developed by John Ehler and presented in
Stocks & Commodities magazine (05.2002). This oscillator produces almost zero lag
indicating the pivot points with the precise accuracy. The indicator was the result of
studies of adaptive filters.
Coppock Curve
o The Coppock curve is a long-term price momentum indicator used primarily to
recognize major bottoms in the stock market. Most technical market analysts
consider the Coppock curve to be an excellent tool for discriminating between bear
market rallies and true bottoms in the stock market. The indicator was designed for
use on a monthly time scale and is calculated as a 10-month weighted moving
average of the sum of the 14-month rate of change and the 11-month rate of
change for the index.
Chande Forecast Oscillator
o The oscillator is above the zero point if the forecast price is higher than the current
price. On the contrary, if it is below it turns out to be less than zero. When the
forecast price and the current price are equal, the oscillator makes a zero. Current
prices that are constantly over the forecast price suggest higher prices ahead and
prices that are constantly under the forecast price suggest lower prices ahead.

Version: 1.0.0.6
Gopalakrishnan Range Index
o The Gopalakrishnan Range Index (GAPO) by JayanthiGopalakrishnan quantifies the
variability in a stock, based on the logarithm of the trading range over an N-day
period (default 5 days).
Random Walk
o The basis of Random Walk Indicator is a theory of the shortest path from one point
to another.
In case the prices stay too far from the line traced for a period, then the movement
efficiency is considered to be minimal. Highly random movement creates
considerably fluctuating RWI.
The number of periods, recommended by effective RWI applying is from 2 to 7 for
the short term, whether the long- term requires from 8 to 64 periods. It is done to
show the short- term fluctuations and long term trends. RWI peaks in the short
term indicate with the price highs, whether its bottom describes price decline.
Intraday Momentum Index
o The IMI (intraday momentum index) is a ratio of the total magnitude of the up day
candle bodies to the total magnitude of the down day candle bodies over the past
x-days. An up day candle body is white and is the close minus the open for a
particular day. A down day candle body is black and is the open minus the close for
a particular day. So if you see a lot of consecutive long white candle bodies and
only a few short black body candle bodies on a stock chart then the IMI will be high
(perhaps near 100%). The 'imi' indicator is used in indicator formula construction to
narrow the stock pre-screener results to include only those stocks that have an imi
restricted to the parameters set for the imi indicator.
Kinger Volume Oscillator
o A technical indicator developed by Stephen Klinger that is used to determine long-
term trends of money flow while remaining sensitive enough to short-term
fluctuations to enable a trader to predict short-term reversals. This indicator
compares the volume flowing in and out of a security to price movement, and it is
then turned into an oscillator.
Pretty Good Oscillator
o The Pretty Good Oscillator measures the distance of the current close from its N-
day simple moving average, expressed in terms of an average true range over a
similar period.
RAVI(Range Action Verification Index)
o RAVI indicator, developed by Tushar Chande, can be used to identify whether the
market is trending. It calculates the percentage difference between current prices
and older prices. Current prices are represented by a Short SMA, and the longer
time frame by a Long SMA. Tushar Chande recommends the following information
lines for the indicator: plus-minus 0.3% or 0.1% (depending on the market).

Version: 1.0.0.6
Twiggs Money Flow
o The main idea behind the TMF indicator is to evaluate volume (money flow) as
bullish or as bearish based on a close price location. Chaikin Money Flow uses CLV
(Close Location Value) to do it. Twigs Money Flow, on the other hand, uses TR (True
Range). Another main difference is that CMF uses cumulative volume (sum of
volumes over specified period) and the TMF applies Moving average to the volume.

Bracket Order
A type of order where user can enter a new position along with a target/exit and also
stoploss order. As soon as the main order is executed the system will place two more
orders (profit taking and stoploss).
When one of the two orders (profit taking or stoploss) gets executed, the other order will
get cancelled automatically.
Trailing Stoploss
When you place a bracket order, you get an option to either place a fixed stoploss order,
or also a trail your stoploss. It means that if the contracts/stock moves in your direction
by a particular number of ticks, the stop loss will go up/down based on if you are long or
short automatically.
Note:
 This is an Intra-day product, so all Bracket order (BO) positions will be squared off by
3:20 pm.
 Enabled across Equity, Futures & Options and Currency. Bracket order is not allowed
for Commodities.
Bracket Order Buy
A Buy order that is accompanied by a sell limit order above the buy order’s price and a
sell stop order below the buy order’s price. These three component orders will all be set
at a price determined by the investor at the time the order is entered. This type of order
allows investors to lock in profits with an upside movement and prevent a downside loss,
without having to constantly follow the position.
User can place Bracket Order Buy through this window. User can use shortcut keys or can
select Bracket Order Buy from Orders menu in Main menu after selecting particular scrip
from market watch which will invoke Bracket Order Buy window. User have to fill all
required fields before click on submit button. User can use Tab button for faster
navigation through this window and can use F3 and F4 to toggle between Bracket Order
Buy and Sell window.

Version: 1.0.0.6
Bracket Order Sell
A sell order on a short sale that is accompanied (or bracketed) by a buy stop order above
the entry price of the sell order and a buy limit order below the entry price of the sell
order. As the three component orders are based on set prices, this type of order protects
the investor from the downside but also potentially locks in a gain without the investor
constantly monitoring price.
User can place Bracket Order Sell through this window. User can use shortcut keys or can
select Bracket Order Sell from Orders menu in Main menu after selecting particular scrip
from market watch which will invoke Bracket Order Sell window. User have to fill all
required fields before click on submit button. User can use Tab button for faster
navigation through this window and can use F3 and F4 to toggle between Bracket Order
Buy and Sell window.
Order Book
Shortcut: F3
Once an order is placed, the user would like to see the status of that order. The Order
Book window open by default with Market Watch, when you log in into Pi. A user can call
the order book window by pressing F3 in the market watch or from MarketWatch toolbar.
This will show the status of all the orders that were placed. If the user presses F3 it would
show the status of all the orders that were placed across all the segments as well as
across the entire exchanges. The Order Book window is very user-friendly as it allows the
user to view and access the data in a very efficient way. User can also set the columns in
the sequence user prefers them to appear in the order book window. One can also
remove the unwanted columns from the window. All the fields/columns can also be
filtered by right clicking on columns and select choose columns. This allows the user to
search for the information that user is looking for.
The Order Book provides details of all the orders placed by the user. These include orders
placed to the exchange, but not traded or partially traded (open orders), traded orders
(completed), rejected orders and cancelled orders.

Version: 1.0.0.6
The user can also modify or cancel an Open Order from this window, by selecting the
order from order book and clicking on Modify or Cancel, as the case may be. Other
functions like writing the orders to excel and view order history.
User can use Shortcut keys to Modify, Cancel, Cancel All and Exit orders in Orderbook.

Chart Tools
The chart tools available in Pi are:
1. Trendline
o A line that is drawn over pivot highs or under pivot lows to show the prevailing
direction of price. Trendlines are a visual representation of support and resistance
in any time frame. Trendlines are used to show direction and speed of price.
Trendlines also describe patterns during periods of price contraction.
2. Speed Line
o Speed resistance lines (SRL) are especially useful when looking at issues that are
inside of strong trends A chartist uses the SRL to determine support and resistance
and can be used by those interested in both short and intermediate phases as well
as long-term outlooks. Simply put, the SRL measures the line of an uptrend or a
downtrend.
3. Gann Fan
o A Gann fan consists of a series of diagonal lines called Gann angles, of which there
are nine. These angles are superimposed over a price chart to show a security's
support and resistance levels. The resulting image is supposed to help technical
analysts predict price changes.
Gann fan relies heavily on subjective choices made by individual traders, the chart
may be limited in its usefulness and accuracy. The three premises Gann based his
theory on were: i) price, time and range are the only factors, ii) cyclical markets, and
iii) geometric market design.
4. Fibonacci Arcs
o A charting technique consisting of three curved lines that are drawn for the
purpose of anticipating key support and resistance levels, and areas of ranging.
Fibonacci arcs are created by first drawing an invisible trendline between two
points (usually the high and low in a given period), and then by drawing three
curves that intersect this trendline at the key Fibonacci levels of 38.2%, 50% and
61.8%. Transaction decisions are made when the price of the asset crosses through
these key levels.

Version: 1.0.0.6
5. Fibonacci Retracement
o A term used in technical analysis that refers to areas of support (price stops going
lower) or resistance (price stops going higher). The Fibonacci retracement is the
potential retracement of a financial asset's original move in price. Fibonacci
retracements use horizontal lines to indicate areas of support or resistance at the
key Fibonacci levels before it continues in the original direction. These levels are
created by drawing a trendline between two extreme points and then dividing the
vertical distance by the key Fibonacci ratios of 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8% and 100%.
Fibonacci retracement is a very popular tool used by many technical traders to help
identify strategic places for transactions to be placed, target prices or stop losses.
After a significant price movement up or down, the new support and resistance
levels are often at or near these lines.
6. Fibonacci Fan
o A charting technique consists of three diagonal lines that use Fibonacci ratios to
help identify key levels of support and resistance. Fibonacci fans are created by first
drawing a trendline through two points (usually the high and low in a given period),
and then by dividing the vertical distance between the two points by the key
Fibonacci ratios of 38.2%, 50% and 61.8%. The result of these divisions, each
represent a point within the vertical distance. The three 'fan' lines are then created
by drawing a line from the leftmost point to each of the three representing a
Fibonacci ratio.
7. Fibonacci Time Zones
o An indicator used by technical traders to identify periods in which the price of an
asset will experience a significant amount of movement. This charting technique
consists of a series of vertical lines that correspond to the sequence of numbers
known as Fibonacci numbers (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, etc.). Once a trader chooses a
starting position (most commonly following a major move) on the chart, a vertical
line is placed on every subsequent day that corresponds to the position in the
Fibonacci number sequence.
Fibonacci numbers are a sequence of numbers where each successive number is
the sum of the two previous numbers. For reasons unknown, these numbers play
an important role in determining relative areas where the prices of financial assets
experience large price moves or change direction. The four popular Fibonacci
studies are arcs, fans, retracements and time zones.
8. Tirone Levels
o A series of three sequentially higher horizontal lines used to identify possible areas
of support and resistance for the price of an asset. The position of the center line is
plotted by calculating the difference between the highest high and the lowest low
for the asset price over a period of time and dividing it by 2. The top and bottom
line are drawn 1/3 and 2/3 of the difference, respectively, between the same high
and low that are used to calculate the center line.

Version: 1.0.0.6
The use of Tirone levels is similar to that of Fibonacci retracement, and both are
interpreted in the same way. They both determine the position of the lines by using
a percentage of the difference between a high and a low. Both Tirone levels and
Fibonacci retracement use 50% as one of the possible support/resistance levels.
9. Quadrant lines
o Quadrant Lines are a series of horizontal lines splitting the highest and lowest
values of a security's prices into four equal sections. They provide for day trading
methods yet another set of useless lines that probably do no more than clutter the
screen.To calculate them, find the highest high and the lowest low during the time
period under question. The top line is drawn horizontally thru the highest price
during the time period and the bottom line is drawn horizontally thru the lowest
price during the time period. The remaining three lines are then drawn by dividing
the the two outer lines into four equal sections. The center line (a.k.a. the "mean")
is usually shown too.
10.Raff Regression
o The Raff Regression channel is a great confirmation tool though, both for seeing
active trends and helping to spot trend reversals.When user connect the regression
line to the low and high point of a trend, the regression line will swivel all over the
place as it calculates the ideal trajectory. The end result is a line that runs through
most of the price action.
11.Error Channels
o Standard Error Channels are calculated by plotting two parallel lines above and
below an x-period linear regression trendline. The lines are plotted a specified
number of standard errors away from the linear regression trendline.
12.Rectangle
o A pattern formed on a chart where the price of a security is trading within a
bounded range in which the levels of resistance and support are parallel to each
other, resembling the shape of a rectangle. This pattern signals that the price
movement, which has stalled during the pattern, will trend in the direction of the
price breakout of the bounded range.
The bounded range, or rectangle, is a period of consolidation in which market
participants are generally indecisive. The formation of this pattern will see the price
of the security test the levels of support and resistance several times before a
breakout. Once the security breaks out of the range, in either direction, it is
considered to be trending in the direction of the breakout.
13.Ellipse
o Just Select Ellipse from Chart Tools and drag across the chart to easily draw an
ellipse of any size and at any angle. When finished user can edit the location, size,
angle, etc to fine tune it to market data. User can drag it to other areas of Pi chart
to identify the dominant price-time limits of the market data. Future movements
are contained within the limits of the perimeter of these ellipses.

 Generated Alerts
Create Scripted Alerts
Alerts can be accessed from Create Scripted alerts from Alerts Menu item in Main Menu
or by Click the Scripted Alerts Icon in Side menu on the left.
User can provide program instructions to display trade alerts by clicking the Alert button
on the side toolbar or can be loaded from the Data, Create Scripted Alerts menu.
User can provide instructions that tell the application to play a sound or pop-up when a
specific series of events occur, as specified by four program scripts. A script is a set of
instructions written in the TradeScript. For example, a script might consist of just one line
such as “LAST > 350 AND HIGH > 351.25”, or it may consist of many lines of instructions.
A separate programming manual is provided for the TradeScript, which can be viewed by
clicking the Script Guide button on any Alert window or can be selected from Help menu
in Main menu.
User can load an existing alert by selecting a Profile name from the drop down menu (if
any exist). To create a new alert, type a Profile name, data selection criteria, enter at least
a buy and sell script (exit-short and exit-long scripts are optional). Finally, click the Enable
Alerts button to turn the alert on. When the underlying data is matched with one of user’s
alert scripts, an alert will broadcast to user’s running Desktop.
On selecting Go Live button Pop up alerts will come showing the details of the alerts
generated on clicking the close button order form will come to place the orders
accordingly depending it is buy or sell signals.

Back Testing
The Back Testing screen can be loaded from the Alerts menu in the Main Menu.
Back Testing is a method that traders use to test their trading strategies against
historical market conditions. Knowing how much profit or loss a trading system generated
in the past may help prevent or reduce the risk of loss in real trading.
The Abacus Back Testing engine can calculate user’s trading system's performance using
nearly two-dozen scientific profit, loss and risk measurements. Abacus allows user to
specify individual instructions for buying, selling, holding, and exiting his/her simulated
trades. To run a Back Test, simply enter and verify your buy, sell, and exit scripts then click
the Back Test button. The Buy Script is a set of instructions for buying (going long) and the
"Sell Script" is a set of instructions for selling (going short).
The scripts required on this screen are based on the Abacus programming language.
Please refer to the Abacus programming guide for complete details. Click on Script guide
will open Tradescript Help document for user to learn how to write Buy, Sell and Exit
scripts.

Version: 1.0.0.6
User can add symbol by clicking on Select Symbol button which will open Select symbol
window to select symbols from any of the exchanges to perform the Backtesting.
Back Test Results Overview
Some trading strategies work well on a wide range of securities but work poorly with
some securities. Reasons may include poor market liquidity for a particular stock (low
volume), high volatility and other factors. It is a good idea to test user’s own strategy
across a wide range of securities. Just because it isn’t very profitable on one security
doesn’t mean it won’t work well with another security.
The values on the back testing page represent a range of measurements based on
profitability and risk of user’s trading system when tested with the symbol that user
supplied at the top of the back test screen. The output on the back testing results list
provides an overall picture of how user’s strategy might perform if used as a live trading
system.

Version: 1.0.0.6

Total Loss
Total loss since the beginning of the back test.
Percent Profit
Percentage of profitable trades in since the beginning of the back test.
Largest Profit
Largest single-trade profit.
Largest Loss
Largest single-trade loss.
Maximum Drawdown
The maximum account drawdown, defined as the percent retrenchment from equity
peak to equity valley. A drawdown is in effect from the time an equity retrenchment
begins until a new equity high is reached.
Maximum Drawdown (Monte Carlo)
Same as Maximum Drawdown, except the test is repeated 5,000 times, with each test
introducing a small random slippage. Preferred over regular drawdown.
Value Added Monthly Index (VAMI)
Reflects the growth of a hypothetical $1,000 in a given investment over time. The index is
equal to $1,000 at inception. Subsequent month-end values are calculated by multiplying
the previous month’s VAMI index by 1 plus the current month rate of return.
Where Vami 0=1000 and
Where R N=Return for period N

Version: 1.0.0.6
Vami N= (1 + R N ) X Vami N-1
Compound Monthly ROR
The geometric mean is the monthly average return that assumes the same rate of return
every period to arrive at the equivalent compound growth rate reflected in the actual
return data.
Standard Deviation
Measure the degree of variation of returns around the mean (average) return. The higher
the volatility of the investment returns, the higher the standard deviation will be.
Where R I=Return for period I
Where M R=Mean of return set R
Where N=Number of Periods
M R = (∑ R I) ÷ N
I=1
(∑ (R I - M R) 2 ÷ (N - 1)) ½
Annualized Standard Deviation
Standard Deviation X (12) ½
Downside Deviation (MAR = 10%)
Similar to the standard deviation above except the downside deviation considers only
returns that fall below a defined Minimum Acceptable Return (MAR) rather than the
arithmetic mean. For example, if the MAR were assumed to be 10%, the downside
deviation would measure the variation of each period that falls below 10%. (The loss
standard deviation, on the other hand, would take only losing periods, calculate an
average return for the losing periods, and then measure the variation between each
losing return and the losing return average).
Where R MAR=Period Minimum Acceptable Return
Where L I=R I - R MAR (IF R I - R MAR < 0 ) or 0 ( IF R I - R MAR ³ 0 )
((S (L I) 2) ¸ N) ½
I=1
Downside Deviation = ((S (L I ) 2 ) ¸ N ) ½
Where NL=Number of Periods where R I - M < 0
Sharpe Ratio
A measure developed by William Sharpe that is defined as the incremental average
return of an investment over the risk free rate. Risk (denominator) is defined as the
standard deviation of the investment returns.
Where M R=Mean of return set R

Version: 1.0.0.6

Sharpe Ratio= (M R - R RF) ÷ SD
Sortino Ratio (MAR = 5%)
A return/risk ratio developed by Frank Sortino. Return (numerator) is defined as the
incremental compound average period return over a Minimum Acceptable Return (MAR).
Risk (denominator) is defined as the Downside Deviation below a Minimum Acceptable
Return (MAR).
Where R MAR=Period Minimum Acceptable Return
Where DD MAR=Downside Deviation
Where L I=R I - R MAR (IF R I - R MAR < 0) or 0 ( IF R I - R MAR ≥ 0 )
DD MAR= ((∑( L I ) 2 ) ÷ N ) ½
I=1
Sortino Ratio = (Compound Period Return - R MAR) ÷ DD MAR
Annualized Sortino ratio (MAR = 5%)
Annualized Sortino=Monthly Sortino X (12) ½
Calmar Ratio
A return/risk ratio. Return (numerator) is defined as the Compound Annualized Rate of
Return over the last 3 years. Risk (denominator) is defined as the Maximum Drawdown
over the last 3 years. If three years of data are not available, the available data is used.
Sterling Ratio (MAR = 5%)
A return / risk ratio. Return (numerator) is defined as the Compound Annualized Rate of
Return over the last 3 years. Risk (denominator) is defined as the Average Yearly
Maximum Drawdown over the last 3 years less an arbitrary 10%. To calculate this
average yearly drawdown, the latest 3 years (36 months) is divided into 3 separate 12-
month periods and the maximum drawdown is calculated for each. These 3 drawdowns
are averaged to produce the Average Yearly Maximum Drawdown for the
3-year period.
Where D1 Calmar Ratio = Average Annual ROR /Worst drawdown = Maximum Drawdown
for first 12 months
Where D2 = Maximum Drawdown for next 12 months
Where D3 = Maximum Drawdown for latest 12 months
Average Drawdown = (D1 + D2 + D3) / 3
Sterling Ratio = Compound Annualized ROR /ABS ((Average Drawdown -10% ))

Run Neural Network
Neural Network is run on charts and is accessed from Artificial intelligence menu in Main
menu. It show the value of an indicator called Neural Indicator based on the input used to
calculate it.
The Neural Indicator uses a neural network (an advanced form of artificial intelligence) to
analyze non-linearity that may be hidden in technical indicators.
Interpretation:
The Neural Indicator output most closely resembles an oscillator. Values may have a wide
range and are seldom the same for each run through the neural network (due to random
initialization) unless a very strong relationship between future price and the indicator
being analyzed exists, or the network has been over trained.
Note:
Neural Indicator is not a standard technical indicator, but rather an advanced form of
artificial intelligence. The Neural Indicator function may take several minutes to complete,
depending on argument values. Learning Rate is a double value specifying the neural
network learning rate (0.1 to 1+), Epochs is a long value specifying the amount of neural
network learning to perform (1 to 32,000 – 500 or less is recommended), and Percent
Train is a double value specifying the amount of data to be used as an out-of-sample
neural network training set.
