Prices, thresholds and percentage change

French video · English subtitles and full transcript.

Read the full explanation

A price is an observed value. A threshold is a level you choose to monitor that price.

In this fictional example, an upper threshold of 105 is met at 105 or above.

A lower threshold of 95 is met at 95 or below. Equality counts too.

From 100 to 105, the change is five percent: divide the difference by the starting value.

A five-percent distance sets a fixed target price. The percentage-change signal compares the two most recently received closing values.

Choose a reference you understand and check the rule. An alert supplies information; the decision remains yours.

Volume and relative volume

French video · English subtitles and full transcript.

Read the full explanation

Volume measures a quantity traded on a market over a period, rather than the number of people trading.

If average volume is 100 units and the latest volume is 150, relative volume is 1.5 times the average.

Relative volume of 1.5 times means fifty percent above average. Two times means double.

An average depends on its reference period. Compare consistent periods and read the reference shown in the rule or card.

Volume change compares two consecutive periods. Relative volume compares the latest period with an average.

High volume can accompany a rising or falling price. It does not predict the direction of the next move.

Understanding the RSI

French video · English subtitles and full transcript.

Read the full explanation

The RSI compares the strength of recent upward and downward moves. Its value ranges from zero to one hundred.

RSI 14 uses smoothing over fourteen periods of the selected interval. Fourteen periods do not always mean fourteen days.

Thirty and seventy are common reference levels. Oversold and overbought are descriptions, rather than instructions to buy or sell.

A high RSI can stay high, and a low RSI can stay low. An immediate return to the middle is not guaranteed.

The RSI helps describe a situation. It adds context to your observations without making your decision.

Breakout, breakdown and range

French video · English subtitles and full transcript.

Read the full explanation

A range is a recent price zone between a lower boundary and an upper boundary.

A breakout is a move out through the upper boundary. This observation does not guarantee that the rise will continue.

A breakdown is a move out through the lower boundary. It does not guarantee a lasting decline.

The structural rule uses a historical zone, a direction and a margin. An optional volume condition may also be required.

A range break is more than a fixed price threshold. The engine compares the received closing value with the adjusted boundary.

A price can leave a range and then return. The signal describes a condition without guaranteeing a gain.

Support, resistance and pullbacks

French video · English subtitles and full transcript.

Read the full explanation

Support is a lower reference derived from past prices. It can fail; it is not a guaranteed floor.

The support-bounce rule looks for an approach to support followed by values above it, using the specified margins and confirmations.

Resistance is an upper reference. The rejection rule looks for an approach followed by values below it.

Margins set the approach tolerance and required return. They define the condition without guaranteeing what happens next.

A pullback is a retracement within a trend. A resumption must be observed; it is not automatic.

The rule combines a trend defined by two moving averages, a pullback in the preceding candle and a current resumption condition.

These references help describe a situation. They can be invalidated and guarantee neither a bounce nor a result.

The 20-period simple moving average

French video · English subtitles and full transcript.

Read the full explanation

The twenty-period simple moving average is the mean of the latest twenty closing values. Its English abbreviation is SMA20.

With each new value, the window moves forward: the oldest value leaves, the newest enters and the average is recalculated.

Twenty consecutive, complete periods can span five hours, twenty hours or twenty days, depending on the candle interval.

A moving average smooths movements and reacts with a lag. It does not predict the next price.

A price, an average and a threshold refer to an observation, a calculation and a chosen level.

An average above a threshold and a price above its average are different conditions. Check which comparison your rule uses before deciding.

Candles, intervals and reminders

French video · English subtitles and full transcript.

Read the full explanation

A candle summarizes four price values: open, high, low and close. The body connects the open and the close.

The interval defines the duration of a candle. An hourly candle still in progress can change until the period ends.

In the current rule creator, the selected interval also determines the planned analysis cadence. These are not two independent controls.

The reminder controls repeated messages while a condition remains true. The delay is measured from the last recorded send.

Periodic follow-up requests regular information about a pair. It does not wait for a price threshold to be reached.

A true condition does not guarantee instant receipt. Data, the service and the messaging channel need to be available.

Keep three concepts in mind: the observed duration, the time of evaluation and the repeat delay. Review your rule settings.
