Sign Mode
Consider these examples.
All examples are valid to use. In time the GSB community likely will have preferences for what works best on specific markets.
This was introduced because there is a small architecture issue with sign mode original and multiply operand.
lets say we have 3 indicators, and two are below zero.
WHen they are multiplied together, we will get a positive number. This is interpreted by GSB as bullish, when its actually bearish.
Because of the secondary filter seeing the overall trend, this is not a terribly significant issue. My tests however showed that we may be missing out on short trades.
Thats not bad but means things can be improved. Hence the sign modes below.
Sign mode original
i1=indicator1
i2=indicator2
i3=indicator3
result=i1*i2*i3
Signmode SumofindicatorsSign
i1=indicator1
i2=indicator2
i3=indicator3
direction=sign(sign(i1)+sign(i2)+sign(i3))
result=absvalue(i1*i2*i3)*direction
Signmode Sumofindicators
i1=indicator1
i2=indicator2
i3=indicator3
direction=sign(i1+i2+i3)
result=absvalue(i1*i2*i3)*direction
