Top Bottom Finder

SETTING MANUAL

1/ What is the Top Bottom Finder indicator?

Introduction:

Top Bottom Finder applies a time-tested Kernel Smoothing technique to filter out small, erratic price swings and focus solely on meaningful market moves. As the first indicator built on probability theory, it evaluates the likelihood of trend reversals by analyzing the distribution of past prices. This sophisticated smoothing algorithm not only cleanses noise from the data but also calculates the probability of new trends emerging, giving you a powerful, data-driven edge in forecasting market shifts.

Benefits:

Alert Dispatch: Sends alerts the moment the market hits its tops or bottoms.
Trend Reversal Detection: Identifies trend changes at the perfect moment, so you can skyrocket your profits without worrying about delayed signals.
False Signal Filtering: Removes misleading alerts efficiently to boost prediction accuracy.
