What SteadyEdge calculates

This page documents the exact runtime calculation for the listed filter IDs. Formula symbols use O , H , L , C , and V for the current candle open, high, low, close, and volume; p is the configured lookback.

- Registry filter IDs: chaikin_money_flow

Exact formula

multiplier = ((C-L)-(H-C))/(H-L); if H=L: 0

MFV = multiplier*V

CMF = sum(MFV,period) / sum(V,period)

Parameters, defaults, and bounds

- period : default 20 ; 1–200

How the rule passes

above requires a strict > comparison.

below requires a strict < comparison.

cross_above requires the previous value below the threshold and the current value at or above it.

cross_below requires the previous value above the threshold and the current value at or below it.

Data, timing, and warm-up

Candle filters use the rule timeframe and the latest candle at or before the evaluation time. A non-finite calculated value does not pass.

Every rule in the same filter set must pass. Test Filters and a backtest validate the complete set.
