Abbreviation: OptimalBuySell
Category: Neural Outputs
Input Parameters:
| Name | Range | Default |
| Time Series | Close | |
| Lookback Periods | Int >= 0 | 10 |
Calculation:
Computes a buy (1) or sell(-1) signal for n bars ago. A buy signal is generated if the value n bars ago is approaching a peak and a sell signal is generated if the value n bars ago is approaching a valley. A peak is the highest value over the last n bars, while a valley is the lowest point over the last n bars.
Where
n = Lookback Periods
Discussion:
Since this indicator computes a buy/sell signal from a past value to a past peak or valley, it is best used as an output for a prediction.
