Q: Comparison Operators (>, =, <=, =)

These operators compare values on the **current candle**: - `RSI > 70` — true when RSI is above 70 right now - `SMA(50) > SMA(200)` — true when the 50-period SMA is above the 200-period SMA They check a static relationship at each candle.

Q: For Threshold-Based Entries

Use `>` or ` 25 (strong trend) - Volume > 100000 (high volume)

| Operator | Symbol | Description | Example | |----------|--------|-------------|---------| | Greater than | > | Left is above right | RSI > 70 | | Less than | = | Left is at or above right | ADX >= 25 | | Less or equal | <= | Left is at or below right | Volume <= 1000 | | Equal | = | Left equals right (rarely used) | — | | Cross Over | cross_over | Left crosses above right | MACD cross_over Signal | | Cross Under | cross_under | Left crosses below right | Price cross_under SMA(200) |

Question 2

Comparison Operators (>, <, >=, <=, =)

Accepted Answer

These operators compare values on the **current candle**: - `RSI > 70` — true when RSI is above 70 right now - `SMA(50) > SMA(200)` — true when the 50-period SMA is above the 200-period SMA They check a static relationship at each candle.

Question 3

Crossover Operators (cross_over, cross_under)

Accepted Answer

These operators detect a **change in relationship** between two values:

Question 4

Cross Over

Accepted Answer

The left value was **below** the right value on the previous candle and is now **above** it. **Example:** `MACD cross_over Signal` - Previous candle: MACD Signal Line - This is a bullish signal

Question 5

Cross Under

Accepted Answer

The left value was **above** the right value on the previous candle and is now **below** it. **Example:** `Price cross_under SMA(200)` - Previous candle: Close > SMA(200) - Current candle: Close < SMA(200) - This is a bearish signal

Question 6

For Threshold-Based Entries

Accepted Answer

Use `>` or ` 25 (strong trend) - Volume > 100000 (high volume)

Question 7

For Signal-Based Entries

Accepted Answer

Use `cross_over` or `cross_under` when you want to catch the exact moment of a signal: - MACD cross_over Signal (bullish crossover) - Stochastic %K cross_under %D (bearish crossover) - Price cross_over EMA(200) (price breaking above trend) > **Tip:** Crossover operators generate fewer signals than comparison operators because they only trigger on the exact candle where the cross happens. Comparison operators trigger on every candle where the condition is true.

Question 8

Common Patterns

Accepted Answer

| Strategy Type | Condition | Operator | |--------------|-----------|----------| | RSI Oversold | RSI(14) 25 | Greater than | | MACD Signal | MACD cross_over Signal | Cross Over | | Bollinger Bounce | Price SMA(20) of Volume | Greater than |

Question 9

FAQ

Accepted Answer

**Q: What's the difference between > and cross_over?** A: `>` is true on EVERY candle where the condition holds. `cross_over` is true ONLY on the candle where the crossing happens. Use `>` for filters, `cross_over` for entry signals. **Q: Can I compare two indicators?** A: Yes, both sides can be indicators. E.g., SMA(50) > SMA(200), MACD cross_over Signal Line, RSI > Stochastic %K.
